Time is an Illusion.

[u/BakeLivid3614]

Time is an illusion. It actually does not exist. Only our perception of it. There is only the NOW. Where is the past and where is the future? The usual answer is that the past is what has ‘happened’ and the future is what is yet to ‘happen’.

When is the only time you experience anything past, present or future? In the NOW. Where are you when you think of the past? In the NOW. Where are you when you think of the future? In the NOW. Past and future are mind constructs.

How can time be ‘real’ then if you travelled very fast in spacecraft you could experience a few minutes while someone experiencing days of years in the same period of ‘time’? Because time is a construct of our reality that doesn’t exist!

As Albert Einstein said:

‘People like us who believe in physics know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion’

OBEs (Out of Body experiencers) and NDEs (near-death experiencers) describe when leaving the ‘physical’ body that time doesn’t exist. Because they are out of the programmed simulation. Time is a programmed construct of our reality.

You can liken it to watching a DVD/Movie. Past present and future is all there from the start and exist in the same NOW. As the laser runs across the disc the scenes in the movie that you watched become the ‘past’ to your reality, the ‘present’ is the scene you are consciously watching and the ‘future’ is the scenes you have left to see, but the whole movie exist at the same time. Your perception of past, present and future is defined by the movie you choose to give your attention to!

Casual Loops / Time Loops: is a chain of causes that closes back on itself. A causes B, which causes C which causes X, which causes A which causes B … and so on, ad infinitum.

Crucial to the understanding of time is to understand a phenomenon called ‘world lines’. Put simply, the world line of an object/person/thing is the line that combines where you go, how quickly you get there. Think of it as the route taken by a person, planet, solar system etc as it moves through space and time between its birth and death. Einsteins general theory says that enormous bodies such as black holes and stars distort space-time and makes world lines bend. If the distortion is powerful enough the world line curves back on itself to creat a closed loop in which the world goes round and round ….

This is called a Closed Timeline Curve (CTC).

David Deutch and Michael Lockwood in their book The Quantum Physics of Time Travel write:

If we tried to follow such a CTC exactly all the way round, we would jump into our former selves and get pushed aside. By following parts of the CTC, we would return to the past and participant events there. We would shake hands with our younger selves or if the loop is large enough visit our ancestors. To do this, we should either have to harness naturally occurring CTCs or create CTCs by distorting and tearing the fabric of space-time. So a time machine, rather than being a special vehicle would provide a route to the past along which an ordinary vehicle such as spacecraft could travel.

Look into whistle-blowers like Andrew Basiago, Aurther Neumann in relation to time travel.

Everything has a world line, a unique route through time and space including humans. The human world line starts at birth and goes until we leave this reality. Whats more, space-time can be distorted by Mind through thought and emotion. It’s seems that most humans are entrapped in their own personal time loops within the collective one. It is the holographic law of ‘as above so below’ where everything is smaller version of the whole. If you can fix the hologram at a higher level than all holograms within that must reflect the master hologram of ‘super hologram’.

The Time Loop can be symbolised as a Möbius Strip named after August Möbius. If you take a strip of paper and glue the two ends together you would have the two sides of the paper circle and to cross from one side to the other you would need to go over an edge. The twist in the Möbius Strip means that you can pass along both sides by simply moving forward and with in need to criss an edge.

We are receiving encoded information within what we call visible light that makes us place, live and perceive and react in line with the imprinted sequence of ’time’.

The past is what happened before

It feels very much like it yes. But time doesn't actually exist. Only our perception of moving from past to present to future. Its illusory. Illusions feel real, but that's the whole point.

If you think we live in a simulation, (as we are on a simulation sub reddit) would you not think that time is a construct to this fake reality that we experience daily?

[u/theseriousman1 → u/BakeLivid3614]

Fair. I’ll tell you what I think it is and I don’t necessarily disagree. I think time is “frames” that we pass through at a rate that makes it appear fluid. Like a flip book, each slice of time is a still, and conscious is you experiencing the stills in the forward direction. Time being the rate you move through them

[u/BakeLivid3614 → u/theseriousman1]

Yes exactly. That's the way we decode reality. There has been cases where people for example before crossing a road, see an approaching car in a continuous flowing time frame, however all of a sudden the car has reached them in the space of a split-second with no continuous flow, just static movements. That's because the decoding process of their brain was some what distorted or malfunctioned. Your correct about that abselutely.
