It’s funny really. We still think of time as a ‘thing’. Something tangible that can be manipulated. However, reason tells us a different story. It’s important to understand Einstein’s first published paper. I’ve talked about it before. His simple thought experiment indisputably proved that time is not a ‘thing’. Of course, it took ten years before scientists really understood what he published.
So, what’s funny is that many scientists still think of time as a ‘thing’. That it’s theoretically possible to go back into the past or go forward into the future. I’m sorry to report that it’s not possible whatever theory they use. Time is not a ‘thing’ to be manipulated. The past and the future only exist in our imagination.
THERE IS ONLY NOW!
If time travel were possible, it would imply that the past and the future already exist. If they did, wouldn’t reason suggest that people from the future would already have gone into the past to try and ‘fix’ something?
Of course our hubris would lead us to believe we could actually fix something and we would soon find out how much we screwed things up. Since we’ve pretty much screwed things up on our own, it helps prove my point. So, no matter how much you want to believe we can go back or forward in time to ‘fix’ something, it’s more important to focus on the now and make things better. And since the only thing under your control is how you respond to your environment, if you show some love and understanding, you will make the world a better place NOW!
