Roger Penrose uses the word aeon to describe the period between successive and cyclic Big Bangs within the context of conformal cyclic cosmology. In astronomy, an aeon is defined as a billion years (10 9 years, abbreviated AE). Aeon can also refer to the four aeons on the geologic time scale that make up the Earth's history, the Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic, and the current aeon, Phanerozoic. Īlthough the term aeon may be used in reference to a period of a thousand million years (especially in geology, cosmology and astronomy), its more common usage is for any long, indefinite period. αἰϝών) for "age" is present in words such as longevity and mediaeval. Its latest meaning is more or less similar to the Sanskrit word kalpa code: san promoted to code: sa and Hebrew word olam code: heb promoted to code: he. In Greek, it literally refers to the timespan of one hundred years. It is a Latin transliteration from the ancient Greek word ὁ αἰών ( ho aion), from the archaic αἰϝών ( aiwon) meaning "century". The word aeon / ˈ iː ɒ n/, also spelled eon (in American and Australian English ), originally meant "life", "vital force" or "being", "generation" or "a period of time", though it tended to be translated as "age" in the sense of "ages", "forever", "timeless" or "for eternity".

I felt it was something that was timeless, I felt that it was something, you know, we all put energy into and could grow and become something special and keep us connected. I think that’s wonderful, i think it’s a timeless story, and I think people love hearing about the adventures and misadventures of teenagers so I wish it well and I hope I can play a mother. At such a moment I gaze upon it with a mixture of anguish and euphoria separate from the universe, as though placed at a certain distance outside it I look and I see pictures, creatures that move in a kind of timeless time and spaceless space, emitting sounds that are a kind of language I no longer understand or ever register. The universe seems to me infinitely strange and foreign. Will the day tell its secret before it disappears, becomes timeless night. Timeless carries, perhaps, the fullest idea of eternal, as above and beyond time, and not to be measured by it.ĭeathless, endless, eonian, eternal, ever-living, everlasting, fadeless, immortal, imperishable, interminable, never-ending, never-failing, perennial, perpetual, unceasing, undying, unending, unfading, unfailing, without end Everlasting, endless, and eternal may be applied to that which has no life as, everlasting chains, endless night, eternal death immortal applies to that which now has life, and is forever exempt from death.
