Linear Time is about to cease, many claim we will then cease to age, Wont we continue 2 age chemically?

I'm reading a book that proposes that Creation will complete itself in October 2012, and found a website* on it too. In other media I'm hearing that when that happens, Linear Time will cease and the past/present/future will become the NOW. Other sources are saying that when that happens that we will cease to age any more. My question is: Even though we are going to stop aging linearly, won't we still age (oxidize, rust, etc) chemically and continue to die at the same rate as we are currently?

If this sounds ridiculous to you, and you can only answer with a cynical, boorish, or hateful answer ... please move on. I don't give "thumbs down" but ask that you allow others to have their opinions. Thanks!

Update:

EmanCipating: So nice to hear from you. Some feel that when time tops we'll lose all incentives to strive for greatness and that we'll put everything off until tomorrow. It becomes a VERY COMPLEX issue with just the slightest nudge. When you think of it it becomes scary, spooky, and weird. Technology will stop, according to some,since there will be no incentive to get it done NOW or in the future. They'll all be the same.

But I DO like the idea that there will no longer be deadlines for courts or contests or ... arrrghhh ... even that will cause people to put everything off until later.

Before time ends we have to think of a reason to make people want to continue to excel and become great and in that way we can charge them something for it. :-)

    So babies stop growing in the womb?

  • Maybe it is possible when Linear Time ceases and the past, present and future becomes NOW, we no longer have stress, pain, anxiety, jealousy, hate, shallowness and so on. This would keep our bodies young and free of disease.

    It is as if the body becomes "frozen" in the NOW.

    When we are in the NOW we are at PEACE and this keeps us young and healthy. Those who have been suffering from disease will no longer be burdened anymore. How beautiful to create this reality!

    Many (((((hugs)))))

    Darty,

    But, if we lose linear time there will be no need for desire because in the now there is no desire, just peace. I guess from the "ego" stand point this is scary and weird, but from the "non-ego" to me it is blissful and exciting!

    I have to say your question should have been starred over and over. I don't get it! This is a very profound statement and question!!!

    It's a delightful concept and part of me hopes it to be true.

    It is feasible that our bodies would *not* break down. We are constantly shedding old cells and generating new ones; therefore, our bodies perpetually renew themselves.

    I have never thought of it this way, but it makes sense, it's not like our bodies will also stop functioning so I guess we will still experience some of these reactions.
