Question

What does it mean when we teeter on the precipice at the edge of space and time?

Answer 1

It doesn't mean anything, it's just some ridiculous metaphor that someone made up because they didn't understand space or time.  But since no one else did either, it sounded profound to them and so the phrase stuck.

Answer 2

doesn't mean much to me, sounds like sci-fi

Answer 3

Sounds like a description of the event horizon of a black hole, beyond which space and time become inseparable entities.

Btw, the event horizon is the point beyond which no light can escape the gravitational pull of the black hole. The event horizon expands as the black hole becomes more and more massive.

Answer 4

my guess, thinking in the here and now

Answer 5

Sounds like something from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. They already have a restaurant there, you know!

... anyway, the answer is 42.

Answer 6

Having a bad day (or dabbling with poetry?).

Answer 7

I had not heard this one but we are at the end of time.  

There is no time past the present instant, we, and everything else including space itself are at the extreme end of time.  There is no space past "now" and nothing in space exists past "now".  

The other end of time is the appearance of space-time at the big bang.

Answer 8

i thought there was never possible way to go back to the past or to future. so i guess we are at the extreme.
