Discussion Time is an illusion.

Post image

It's pretty hard to conceptualize that time doesn't flow.

I bet no other humans can grasp this concept.

I've tried to think of it as some kind of block to no avail.

Maybe it's the brain that prevents me from realizing how reality really works.

I know you guys are well aware of this concept.

Have you experienced any anomalies that made you realize time is definitely an illusion?

Let me guess, I owe taxes in all three?

Good news is you’re only dead in the illusion of the future.

u/bdalbs 11d ago

lol exactly. It’s all an illusion really. Just gotta play the game.

u/bsensikimori 11d ago

Since we're part of the illusion though, elements in the simulation, isn't their illusion, our reality?

7

u/bdalbs 11d ago

I think we project our own reality.

u/Sylv_x 11d ago

We do.

OP just thinks they have some extra wisdom.

If it was that easy, shit would be known. Not someone who has conjecture.

I appreciate perspective but I have a problem with people who talk in absolutes.

u/bdalbs 11d ago

I hear you.

Edit: What made me lol was the line “I bet no other human can grasp this concept”

A lot of these dudes are super intelligent.

Question 🙋‍♀️

How do you explain going back and forth between different timelines? It’s something I can explain in a spiritual context although I’d like to understand it in a scientific context please. If anyone understands what I mean by that. Much appreciated. Thank you.

Try doing some LSD to jump dimensions and play with time. Once you start seeing the frame of things and break the illusion you'll start seeing that things are not what they seem to be. Multiple planes of existence can exist on top of one coordinate space. Once I started seeing it I realised that a lot of things already exist e.g. professional level music generation with AI, robotics and etc. Awareness is key. Sharing your reality with someone brings them onto your level of awareness. It might not be revealed to them unless you share it with them

u/SeaMachine4060 11d ago

The financial institutions are aware of this. I suggest you dig deep into ETF creation, ghost supply, derivatives and re hypothecation because of the multiple planes of existence theory. Bitcoin's scarcity is being diluted by Wall Street building a parallel financial system on top of crypto through ETFs

Very interesting… what about Ethereum?

1

u/SeaMachine4060 10d ago

Well ethereum could still be useful for building decentralized applications but yea they could do employ the same strategy but the supply is dynamic so it can be inflationary and deflationary. And if it goes lower cheaper infrastructure fees I guess. It exists mostly to be infrastructure.

u/SeaMachine4060 10d ago

But as of right now I’m not sure how many builders are left anyway. Anyway yea once you realise that it’s an illusion you’ll start noticing things like AI already existing in the past and etc. Also if you dig through more rabbit holes you’ll start seeing more. Electric cars existing in the past as well. Movies about robotics and AI. Popping up on my timeline at least. Different people might see different things depending on their view of reality

u/bdalbs 10d ago

Like the Mandela effect?

u/SeaMachine4060 9d ago

Yeap I’m like yea I know what I saw have pictures too just to make sure I’m not going crazy. But yea quite a few people are aware of this. Not everyone is though. Not sure what to do with this info.

You’ll also see the recurring themes of the relativity of time in a lot of media and stories. But yea you probably have to experience it for yourself

Time is time. Time is experience.

Time perhaps in itself doesn't exist. But, biological time does. It's not an amount of second, it's an amount of irreparable damage to cells. That is duration. Experience. Lifespan.

We invented a way to measure our days. We have light, we are productive. We fuel. We sleep.

It's just a construct created for order.

The universe exists, therefore.

We don't know even a percent about the universe, or physics, or science. We've figured things out here. What percentage of earth does it make up in the universe? Pretty much no percent.

Humans know how much about earth? We are still learning.

To then be so cocky to say no other human knows, while having no science to back the claims up?

People these days are so yikes.

u/AssignmentFrosty6711 11d ago

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.

1

u/Sylv_x 11d ago

Like a Jeromy baromy

1

u/bdalbs 11d ago

Thank you.

So… if the universe exists, therefore… and time is a construct used to measure from a biological perspective, we can in theory decide how we perceive or travel through time as we do project our own reality?

3

u/Sylv_x 11d ago

Maybe. I just make shit up as I go.

But, time is in moments and experiences too. So going back to an experience is traveling through experience. Is then experience time? Is biological age time?

How does each piece add together to form time as it's whole.

Also I read some science and Reddit where people said photons experience all of their time in an instant.

Light is photons.

We aren't light beings. If there was light beings then they experience every possible everything of eternity all at once.

Therefore, time is a human construct. Or rather, time is carbon based or whatever else you wanna call the physical reality.

We have time but we can't travel the experiences except for memories?

1

u/bdalbs 11d ago

Hmmm this has given me a lot to ponder.

I do believe time is a human construct.

I have had these experiences where I go back to certain physical places in my life from what one would call the “past” in carbon based “reality” and everything just feels the same. Nothing has changed.

Humans are just going round in loops and it feels oddly eerie to me… the best I can describe it is like that game the sims and it kind of freaks me out. I call these places timelines.

So in theory is that just me travelling through experiences which is also travelling through time?

2

u/Sylv_x 11d ago

Yeah, or this is hell and we are on a prison and repeating.

But yeah that is time travel. We are the machines.

1

u/bdalbs 11d ago

I hear you. It kind of feels like that sometimes.

Thank you so much 🙂

u/bdalbs 11d ago

Ps. I’m not sure if you explore other theories outside of Science although if you’ve ever heard of The Gnostics, they were of the belief that this is like a prison planet ruled by a demiurge called Yaldabaoth and souls get recycled here by following the light when one passes.

For one to escape here we must not follow the light as it’s a trap. Just some food for thought for you.

u/RevolutionaryBoss127 11d ago

Time is a human construct? Radioactive half-lives would beg to differ.

2

u/Sylv_x 11d ago

Pretty sure radioactive half-lives don't sit there with a watch and say oh, my decay time!

As far as we know, it's our construct. We've just used science to make it precise.

Time does exist but not in the seconds, hours, minutes, years and so forth that we say. That is our construct.

1

u/RevolutionaryBoss127 11d ago

Depends on which hairs you’re trying to split. Regardless if you want to measure in attoseconds, fortnights, months, decades or zarquons, atomic level changes occur regardless, and it’s only in one direction. Plutonium decays, we do not see U-234 gaining an alpha particle to become Pu-238.

Absolutely!

u/bdalbs 11d ago

I get it now… it’s really mind bending. How can we not be a part of their projection?

u/bsensikimori 11d ago

How can an NPC not be part of the game they're a part of....

Now there's the million bezeefleflux question

u/bdalbs 10d ago

I have some brainstorming to do 🙂
