I won't sleep untill I've written this down :
The time question's been torturing me for quite some time now.I know i'm not the only one in that case so i'd appreciate if you tell me what you think about it. I just want to warn you that I'm m not making any affirmation here, but i feel i have to share my questionnings so anything useful can come out for everyone.
When I was a little less open minded, I used to follow the general opinion that is there IS something so-called time,and even accepted that we could LOOSE or GAIN time. "So we can control time? Fine by me." After a few thinkings , readings and meditating, I came to realize that I'd been tricked cause there was two main problems I had to resolve :
1- If time is like it's usually described, then there are known things such as past, present and future. So we live in the present and since we can remember part of our past, and project our thoughts into the future, these three patterns have their own reality. Let's face it, many people are torn between past thoughts and/or future worryings, that's a commun thing to be seen in many societies. Maybe it is so commun that people (including me at that time) think it actually is true.
But if you think and observe a little here you figure that we 3D folks cannot use time this way. First, because even if we can think of past and future, I assume we always experience these thoughts in the PRESENT. Think of your last birthday cake or your next weekend barbecue, you're still in the present. Past and future meet in the present. Made me laugh the first time I came to this conclusion. So that would also mean that there's no point being frightened by our past/future because they have no strict reality. I guess the trick lies in or filthy way of thinking,making our mind believe what we feel about past/futur events is totally valuable. And we experience the feeling in response, again in the present. But looks like present is all there is to have, all that's happening in the NOW.
2- Then a second problem occurs : if there is nothing but present, how come we have solid clues that events seem to be following a certain time arrow? I mean if i cut my finger while doing my homeworks late by night (don't ask me how!) I'm sure i'll find blood spill on my desk and a tiny scar on my finger next morning. So looks like time IS passing by somehow.
So i only have to deal with the present but yet i can find clues that time goes by.
The question is Why? I've read in a Brian Green book that this could be explained by the nature of the big bang wich started has a very low entropy system before it became the "beautiful arranged mess" we're living in.
Then the C's say " there is no time". Assuming this is right, does this mean we have to review a such strong conception as the big bang? I know scientists say there's evidence of it everywhere , but does this mean we misinterpret this event (in the sense what's, in our 3D way of thinking, making us miss something?)
Finally, I was also wondering about the relation between time and movement. Does time allows movement, or does movement creates time? Or are they inter-related? Even the same?
And If time and movement are inter-related, but we perceive time in an erroneus way...then what can be said about movement?
