I agree with FT RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 26/04/2010 06:28:29 PM
I said this earlier but I think there are seeds of beginnings in each fiber and thread of the Pattern, and these beginnings are repeated in new and varied forms on further turnings.

I think that the Dark One and the Creator exist in the flow of eternity; what the Creator did was enclose part of eternity into a closed spiral. So I think a key element of this universe (according to RJ) is that it is built of timeless energy rather than our universe, which is built on the action of a Big Bang being the first or prime mover.

IE: It is the humans in the WoT universe that created the idea of time being described as a wheel with spokes. As far as The Creator is concerned, the past and the future are one and the same and the First Age is synonymous with the Last Age.

I don't know that there could really be a first or last Age... - 22/04/2010 07:48:11 AM 747 Views
Yeah, it's the "third age"... - 22/04/2010 02:13:56 PM 720 Views
That's not entirely right - 22/04/2010 03:54:23 PM 674 Views
I think FT is saying that human conceptions of time don't apply to eternity. - 22/04/2010 04:14:45 PM 613 Views
However, I think RJ definitely had an idea, what each Age of the 7 Ages is supposed to be. *NM* - 22/04/2010 09:53:20 PM 309 Views
I don't think so. - 22/04/2010 09:57:43 PM 590 Views
No, the point is... - 23/04/2010 10:06:03 AM 666 Views
Not sure what your point/question is. Doesn't seem like an issue to me quite frankly . - 26/04/2010 04:45:21 PM 668 Views
The question is... - 26/04/2010 05:08:48 PM 595 Views
I agree with FT - 26/04/2010 06:28:29 PM 756 Views
Well, maybe. - 22/04/2010 06:32:05 PM 642 Views
Doesn't make sense - 22/04/2010 09:51:55 PM 580 Views
Why? - 22/04/2010 11:16:21 PM 611 Views
Ok - 23/04/2010 12:15:03 AM 606 Views
The question isn't if it would be possible for the Creator... - 23/04/2010 08:34:23 AM 606 Views
Yes, but as we also know from the cosmology of WoT... - 23/04/2010 09:08:58 AM 658 Views
Yeah... - 23/04/2010 10:03:19 AM 616 Views
Why must there have been such a thing? - 23/04/2010 07:30:02 PM 619 Views
So, you believe there never was a first 1st Age? *NM* - 24/04/2010 08:55:45 AM 329 Views
Yes and no... - 24/04/2010 10:55:02 PM 587 Views
Don't think so, but might be an interesting question for BS! *NM* - 25/04/2010 09:38:09 AM 298 Views
True that. *NM* - 25/04/2010 06:30:03 PM 358 Views
Yes there was a first age, no it is not a loop. - 23/04/2010 01:49:45 AM 665 Views
More change? - 23/04/2010 05:03:22 AM 568 Views

Nah, it's just a Tolkien rip-off... - 22/04/2010 06:05:50 PM 1044 Views

Can't be... - 23/04/2010 08:27:29 AM 634 Views
Yeah, but Loial apparently read a copy of The Lord of the Rings somewhere... - 23/04/2010 09:11:00 AM 674 Views
It's reversed... - 23/04/2010 10:10:56 AM 736 Views
I doubt it, I don't have the books with me right now... - 23/04/2010 07:31:34 PM 681 Views
I don't think that's right. *NM* - 24/04/2010 08:57:45 AM 640 Views
You're right, that is not referenced in the book. - 25/04/2010 06:34:29 PM 584 Views
