'We have broken speed of light'

[baffledking]

The weirdest thing about deja vu is that it usually coincides with uninteresting, everyday moments that are so unspectacular I would have a hard time remembering them anyway! Little things like seeing a dog across the street or hearing a song on the radio etc...perhaps deja vu is just your subconscious recognizing the similarities between the present moment and an almost identical moment in the past.

Another viewpoint on deja vu was in the movie The Matrix. They said that when you experience deja vu, it is a change in the Matrix and it is resetting itself. Makes one wonder every once in a while.

Ok, theoretically, travelling faster than light means arriving before leaving, and travelling at speed of light means arriving after leaving. Is there an in between where you arrive at the same time as leaving?

I pondered this idea once and had an interesting thought:

* Here in 3D, we travel slower than light, and we travel into the "future"

* Einstein posited if we travel faster than light, we will travel into the "past"

* "God is light" we're told. If we were to travel at the exact speed of light, would we then perfectly synchronize with "God" where there is no movement in time, thus, no time, just the eternal now -- Eternal Life?

On a more mundane level, here are several points I hang onto when navigating this conundrum about "time" that baffles my 3D minds:

There is no "future" or "past," only "now." Future and past are one of the 7 Illusions that came with the "Fall of Man." These are concepts--not realities--we can only exist in the "here" and "now."

If one travels far enough West (the future) from where you are now, one ends up in the East (the past).

My version of the "mirror in a mirror" thing goes like this;

In this one little box I found in 2007,
there's an old video I copied in 1997,
of a film with actors portraying in 1977,
people in a Broadway play watching in 1967,
actors on a TV show portraying in 1957,
people watching in a movie in 2057,
film actors portraying in 1927,
people living in 3007.

Or put another way,

In this one little box I found in 2007,
there are people set living in 3007,
who were portrayed by movie actors in 1927,
who are in a movie being watched in 2057,
which was portrayed by TV actors in 1957,
who are in a Broadway play set in 1967,
which was portrayed in 1977,
by actors who are in an old video I copied in 1997.

I have a question/scenario:

<Which I've deleted because it was asking whether viewing Earth, from an incredibly powerful telescope a vast distance away - that humans set up after acquiring the capability for light speed travel - would function as a visual time machine... which it would. Like Hubble with deep space.>
