Epoch Ellipse

For some reason, I got to thinking of Apocalypse, how it sounds like other things. I REALLY liked the way it sounded in "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome," when those orphaned kids in the valley started saying "Pocky Clips" or something or other. But anyway, me liking theories on the cyclical nature of time, I thought it would be interesting to think of it as "Epoch Ellipse." Like "apocalypse" occurs whenever an "epoch" "ellipses" (that is, time cycles back upon itself). Maybe some sort of scientist will come up with the theory of "Epoch Ellipse," saying that all time and history has a shape, but until NOW, we haven't been able to determine it yet... i.e. is it round? If it is a closed (cyclical) shape, how do we determine its starting and ending point (i.e., what is the unit that repeats)? And if it is a closed shape, what does it revolve around? What is the (absent) center around which history rotates? In discovering the "Epoch Ellipse," perhaps this scientist will say that the breakthrough occurred when he theorized that the "absent" center of history was not one, but TWO. Two critical "things" that formed a center about which events turned, eventually forming an elliptical shape. The ellipse, being a somewhat oblong shape, made it difficult/impossible to perceive it; but once the theory of "two centers" was formulated, it was not so hard to see... And it was also not very hard to see the eventuality of the ellipse closing on itself, for events to encounter the "Epoch ellipse," the end of time itself...

I have strange thoughts at times, mostly based on random wordplays. But there is a method to the madness. I think for this, the tie was Mel Gibson... In explicus: his movie "Apocalypto"; the mention of apocalypse as "Pocky Clips" in "Mad Max," itself a movie about the post-apocalyptic world...

Oh well.

Come to think of it, a far better play would have been "Epoch Eclipse." No need to mention messy shapes or the cycling around of history... Self-explanatory really. Time reaching its own eclipse.
