In The Vertical Theory of Infinity, or just Vertical Theory, infinity extends both outward to the “void above” and inward to the “void below” with no end, otherwise stated infinity extends further than 10googillion Planck lengths in one direction and further than 10-googillion Planck lengths in the other direction.

This is our reply to a physforum poster who pointed out that “Down is less than 7 Mm and less than 10^-42 Planck lengths.”, and as such it is the known limit for small which is agreed upon by most scientists.

Yes, this is pure science fiction. Still as you have confirmed 10^-42 Planck lengths is the conventional wisdom down limit. It seems like an relatively large number to me. Planck’s supposition states that electromagnetic energy could be emitted only in quantized form, in other words, the energy could only be a multiple of an elementary unit. Absolutely correct.
But with the freedom of science fiction, if there were something occurring inside an elementary unit, say a contained event that would take place at a googillionth of a planck length or a nanosecond, would scientist ever measure it. Of course not, why think about it? The up side is easier to discuss than the down side, a radius of 46.5 billion light years. That seems like a relatively small number. I know, M-theory, parallel universes, curved space it’s more complex.
It’s the first decade of the 21st century, by the 22nd century science will have better tools and thinking will shift. It seems like just yesterday all the stars in our universe were thought to be in the Milky Way. There isn’t one of anything in the universe, why is there one universe? Maybe there are multiple universes, maybe not. Again, with the freedom of science fiction, it seems ok to think about what cannot be measured, yet.
An implication of infinity would be that it is impossible for an event to occur just once. The notion of infinity has to dictate that any event that occurred would itself occur an infinite number of times.
I would be interested to hear opinions on this.
Yes, I would agree with your statement … there are one or more dimensions of time and time itself is infinitely paradoxical.
