Eternity: הָעֹלָם֙ – haolam

He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

(Ecclesiastes 3:11) NKJV

A gravitational singularity stops time. If time isn’t passing at the singularity, but all around it time passes at a rate proportional to the square of the distance from it, then time is both not passing, and all of it has passed, simultaneously.

The singularity is eternity. Each of our souls are a piece of this eternity. God has put eternity in our hearts isn’t flowery poetic sentiment. It’s physics.
