I'll say this. I ain't gettin' any younger!


"Quantum studies are showing science, at the fundamental level, that our concept of time as thought of as a linear passage of events is totally wide of the mark, and in fact there is no mark. All points of reference are arbitrary, they are conveniences, they are non existent in fundamental reality."

This is an easy to understand article, but you
won't read it, what's the point. Time is not
what you think it is. Understand this and it
will change your life.

When I say change your life, I
mean slow you down, it makes
you question everything. Especially
religion.

Lets look at a chain of events in
what we call time. We think we
see a creation so we invent a
creator. This creator (we invented)
must have a purpose, so we invent
that also. He created the whole
universe just to test us! And because
we're stuck in linear time, we assume
that's all there is. So we face eternal
rewards or punishments from our
invented god for passing or not
passing his ridiculous test (that we
invented).

Get rid of our concept of time and this
is seen for the silly game it is. It's why
so called wise men sit in meditation
for 20 years, to see the universe and
time for what it really is. A construct
of our consciousness.

Are you saying that time is linear and flows in one direction? Do you disagree then with General Relativity?


I guess it might be more clear if I say moments of history or time up to the moment we currently call "now" are all contingent on past moments in time or history. I understand if we talk about time as another dimension and define it in physics we can easily lose hold of a very simple and straightforward point. If you have a huge tower of blocks and each block represents a moment in history then you can clearly see that the blocks depend on the blocks underneath them. This cannot be true forever. Eventually you need to have something upon which ALL the blocks rest. If you don't have this foundation then I think you can see that none of the blocks can stand. I hope that makes more sense and gets us away from the confusing different definitions of time that people can have.

Again, you have a false premise. The
blocks are only connected in your
brain, not in reality. They have no
existence except in your head. It's
how your brain makes sense of things
to exist here. It stops you from touching
the hot stove every day to always relearn
the same lesson. Don't read anything
more to it than that or you'll join some
silly cult religion. Oops, too late..

I think it would be the Most Holy Trinity (remember three persons and one God), which is obviously impossible


We could build a Gordian knot with this, you know.

BTW, time is linear and flows only in one direction. It just doesn't flow at the same rate everywhere.

Oh, I get it, you're feeble attempt at
the time thing. Like I said, don't
think about it, you have better things
to worry about. Like which side of Jesus
you'll be sitting on.. lol
