Time and Sir. Roger Penrose

Hello,

If I ever get enough money, I would like to start a thread or possibly a group reading on Penrose': Cycles of Time.

I have a simple equation that seems to dictate how reality at the current pace expands or what name is most suitable for how time 'flows'.

Here it is:


t=2*(k)^[n+[f(x-a)+(f(x-b)-f(x+c)+(deltaC)] (times) [5(Pi)/2+(deltaC)]

[<-1, through, 1>] - for the delta of C*


The remainder after "(times)" is not included in the power of k.

Sorry, I'm such a mathjax newb.

Would someone be able to analyze the above equation with respect to what Penrose may or may not have said about time? I am also interested in any input about the equation itself wrt. to time passage in any given universe or state space?

Trying to use "http://asciimath.org/" for the user accessible version of this equation in MathJax; but, there's an issue with multiplying the power of k with respect to the secondary equation.

Thanks.

C* - Is governed by another equation...

The following image is of my interest. How does time progress, only upward?

That math is a bit over my head tonight, but as I understand it time is always up in a Penrose diagram, yes, even a tiling one.

Can you explain what you're asking? You've put a diagram of a wormhole up and a difficult-to-parse equation of unknown origin and derivation, but you haven't mentioned wormholes in your posts. A bit of context might make this easier to understand.
