Covers two through four strike me as a bit cliched: they remind me of movies and TV series showing such a spiral to indicate time passing (with or without a ‘travel’ element). Didn't the outer limits use a swirling spiral as part of their intros? (or am I just showing my age?) Although #4 might well work for a hardcover book
Covers 5 through 7 hint at that spiral image but with a strong suggestion of fractals which appeals to me. #5 is very dark and very busy overall, and I wonder how much detail would be lost in a thumbnail. (and would that be critical?) #7 although lighter than #5, has the same problems.
My vote falls on #6: it is much lighter and less crowded with detail, and the sprinkling of stars (or are they galaxies?) suggest a timelessness, or perhaps an Infinity of time.
Number six is best. The ones you like, five and seven, are way too dark. The monochrome I’ve seen done before, but if you want monochrome then one is more unusual than the alternative.
The cover options: can't vote, but I like 5, 6 and 7. Not keen on the monochrome one, the pattern makes my eyes go funny!
I like 6 the best. BUT I also like 1 A LOT
Seven!

I hope this helps.
