For those in the know,
this is our time,
Time oh time,
What is time really..?
In science, if Big Bang was the beginning then time exist roughly 13.8 billions years ago.
Its complex, confusing but truly fascinating subject and we still very much divided about it.
Some say, time is illusion, simply a man made construct that provide the framework how we live and give value/meaning to life.
Some say time prevent everything from happening all at once.
What if everything exist simultaneously?
Einstein once said, time is what clock measures but thats according to Einstein's brain which invite deeper understanding of time.
Time is widely accepted as a linear progression, moving forward from past, present and future.
Some believes its actually spiral instead of the traditional idea that its continuous.
Time as both linear and cyclical progression where over time we will experience recurring themes and patterns in life.
The spiral serves as the opportunity to face similar events and themes again in hopefully much better way and in doing so allowing acceptance and forgiveness.
Some even suggested that time is reversible.
Julian Barbour, a world renowned independent British theoretical physicist and time connoisseur for more than 30 years in his book, The End of Time stated that time and motion dont exist but rather the illusion from us experiencing the different "nows"
All the infinite 'nows' are already exist and we are experiencing different experiences at different "nows."
I honestly dont really know her.
Am nervous talking about her.
Correct me if my interpretation is wrong.
Whats your definition or thoughts on time?
To me its subjective /relative depending on which angle or perspective we are looking at it .
Time make up the space time demension as proposed by Einstein and widely accepted nowadays.
The new Canadian theory, Kletetescha' mathematical model suggested time is actually 3 dimensional and space is actually the byproduct of time.
Face palm!
The more we know about the universe the more we are left to discover.
In physic, Einstein 's relativity demonstrates time affected by speed and gravity in which time slow down where there is stronger gravitional pull( such as earth surface vs space)
its very minisqule meaning in day to day life we hardy feel much of the effects because we are on the earth surface:
Remember the twin paradox , one twin I. The space and another one on earth.
The one on earth aged faster than the one on the space because gravity is stronger on the earth surface .
The same goes to with our GPS system , the time recorded have to be corrected to a constant so we get the accurate time on earth due to time dilation .
In quantum mechanics, some quantum theories can be formulated without explicitly including time, suggesting time might be emergent property rather than fundamental demension.
It could be emergent property from the interactions of more fundamental quantum systems.
In our daily experience,
Sometimes we feel time fly very fast and sometime very slow.
Everybody is all excited , smiling and happy when it comes to Friday but then it’s suddenly the hated Monday again.
Where did the weekend gone?
Our perception of time is subjective despite the fact every day we have 24 hours ,1440 minutes 86400seconds!.
That’s the quantifiable measurable mathematical time.
As if time behaving similar to reality ,which dependent on the one' consciousness.
When we are busy , time zip away.
When i was smoking, most of the time , time goes initially pretty normal but out of sudden went very fast usually after 0200 when what I was doing was only smoking and watching porn really.
The weekend gone just like that and didn’t feel like 2 full days of break.
When i was busy with call at work before, sometimes the on call went like nothing but usually felt like forever to finish.
And when we quiet, time goes slow.
Is it?
i think its not really.
There are times when I just did nothing but it still flying.
Like time is subjective to the observer.
As i embracing this spirituality journey, i feel time slow down.
Am a lot more in the moment in the presence .
Am no longer bounded by the time in the sense i have to do this and that , meet datelines, meetings and etc.
Life for once no longer feels rushed or forced
Am no longer chasing time.
This is what i called living, am doing what i want to and fully engaged in the moment.
Thats the real definition of life to me and not whatever loop I was stuck on .
We are not meant to be chasing time and we cant.
A true liberation.
Time definately well spent but does it actually slowed down?
And i did way more in a day compare to my typical day before this journey.
Whats very interesting to me is time goes very slow despite am doing way more in my life.
I went to bed early just now, woke up well rested but its only 2130 as if I have slept through the whole night.
There were 2 occasions where i strongly believe its a day ahead but somehow it still day behind.
Strange .com indeed.
I could just had a very good sleep as one full sleep cycle takes about 90 minutes.
My question is, is it possible to experience time dilatation here where we are on the earth surface ?
Does consciousness affect our time perception?
To me consciousness is light.
I did time on Astram' Youtube vid the other night, great very informative discussion on time . I remembered one graph shown was time ( Y axis) versus speed of light( X axis)
He basically merged 3D space into a plane and added time dimension 90 degree to that.
as we aware speed of light is about 300k/secs and nothing goes faster than that.
If we go by the graph, it seems instead of going up like the usual linear progression time slow down as the we approaching speed of light.
Of course my nose was bleeding yesterday trying to make sense of it.
Halfway through, i had to stop because of information overload,i lost.
But tonight i think i got the answer or how i interpret it to my daily experience anyway which you could probably relate too.
Here i combine science with spirituality together.
The speed of light is the fastest and nothing can beat it ever for fact.
To me our consciousness as a form of light and as we ascending we approaching that speed of light and thats explains the time dilatation.
Looking at this further I found French philosopher and Noble prize winner, Henri Bergson stated that time is not just mere linear progression but rather a continuos flow of experiences tied to human consciousness .
Isn't that a very interesting view?
Julian Barbour’ idea on time is very interesting as well. There’s simply no time but just the sense of time constructed by our mind from experiencing the “nows”. All “nows” exist at the same time( there is no past, present and future)
That’s made so much sense to me because in mindfulness you are thought to be in the moment. If all already exist around us then we simply have to tune in to the best version of us that we aspire to be.
Awareness/consciousness is divine
Its not product of the brain.
'I think therefore am' or 'Cogito ergo sum'
Children with severely undeveloped brain defied the odss and seems to posses mind.
It cant be explained in space perspective as stated by Descartes.
Again as our consciousness rise, we approaching that speed of light and physically our body still here ,on earth surface with strong gravitional pull, we experience time dilation.
Meaning both combined time slow down and the felt regardless of the fact we on earth
I supposed just like reality , we don't really know whats time is.
We have some insights on time but insights are not equal to reality.
I hope i will know more about time as my journey continues.
I also hope you grasp the idea above.
A little more on time by google AI
