that the same event repeated infinitely would be _identical_ to the same
event occuring only once! The paradox would have to do with time, it seems
to me. Thus the eventual collapse of all matter back into the Mother of All
Black Holes, back to the absolute zero-point of all space, would itself
amount to the absolute cancellation of time. Time would have cancelled
itself out! Thus, the repetition would be the exactly same event (Big Bang
_redux_), again! Then again! Etc. But each time (!) the same identical event
all over again, down to the smallest detail, because it _is_ the same even

Well,

it is obviously that I'm also not of your opinion, a perfect repetition I
think impossible. Your stating that after contraction the exactly new
identical event should occur all over again seems to me mere fiction. When
there is nothing why should there arise something again, and then exactly the
same?? Your statement is not convincing.
