After a brief review of current scenarios for the resolution and/or avoidance of the Big Bang, an alternative hypothesis is put forward implying an infinite increase in complexity towards the initial singularity. This may result in an effective non-calculability which would present an obstruction to actually reaching the beginning of time. This proposal is motivated by the appearance of certain infinite-dimensional duality symmetries of indefinite Kac--Moody type in attempts to unify gravity with the fundamental matter interactions, and deeply rooted in properties of Einstein's theory.

  1. From Tensor Algebras to Hyperbolic Kac-Moody Algebras

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Simultaneous mutually commuting coset Virasoro actions are realized on the tensor algebra of the Feingold-Frenkel algebra, giving explicit decompositions and tensor ground states up to level five.

  2. A string-like realization of hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebras

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A DDF-operator string-state realization generates the low-level sectors of the hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebra F from finite sets of maximal ground states, with a conjectured construction extending this to all levels.
