which one?

certainly 'this'

is not a phrase.

which is my personal favorite and the most accurate of all the 'names' so far.

Simon, your descriptions above are definitions of "Universe".

 

Universe means ' all together'

It is just another phrase, lumped into a compound word

and certainly no better than mine.

I take offense. I walk off in a huff. I snub. Beware.

 

Everybody gets all dreamy eyed when the word is in latin, even though that just means it's an idea stolen by the colonialist Roman Empire from Greeks or Egyptians. The former in this case, universe tracing back to holon (the root of whole) a Greek word.

Holon does have a nice ring to it.

That is my next suggestion.

 

You 'phrases' have the same meaning as the word "Universe". And you agreed here, so why change the word ?

 

(W)hole.

 

All.

 

I never agreed to any such thing. A word meaning 'all together' leaves out those things that are not together. All seems rather not so together.

All together has assumptions that 'this', ah the elegance of it, does not.

 

Now you're talking. Run with it. People get all hot and bothered if they get an asteroid named after them. Imagine being the one who names

kit and kaboodle

what is

.......

 

More suggestions:

Shebangwhole

The aggregate

the works

the includable

 

Universe means 'all in one' if I'm not mistaken, which is good enough for me. Besides the original meaning of the word is usually not that important, it's what they have become to mean, or what they are meant to describe.

 

Panton

 

But here we are in the middle of time, just like those nasty Romans, and we can come up with a new term. One that is more catchy or profound. Just as the original meaning is not important - however much it, in this case, undermines the objections to my little gems - so the original word is not important.

Here's a question: is the past part of the universe?

If not then another possible one is

The Present

 

I am humbled. And I love the root 'pan' and not for the briefest of instants considered it. My hat is off. I bow. I nod. I yield the floor.

 

Time is not part of the equation. The past does not exist, nor does the future. One could even argue that the present doesn't exist.

All In One
