 It is clear from the outset, however, that the original BKL model is applicable to both finite or infinite space; this is evidenced by the existence of oscillatory singularity models for both closed and open spacetimes.The oscillatory mode of the approach to singularity gives a new aspect to the term 'finiteness of time'.Between any finite moment of the world time "t" and the moment "t" = 0 there is an infinite number of oscillations.
