General relativity and quantum mechanics will never be combined until we realize that they take place at different moments in time. Because causality has a speed limit (c) every point in space where you observe it from will be the closest to the present moment. When we look out into the universe, we see the past which is made of particles (GR). When we try to look at smaller and smaller sizes and distances, we are actually looking closer and closer to the present moment (QM). The wave property of particles appears when we start looking into the future of that particle. It is a probability wave because the future is probabilistic. Wave function collapse happens when we bring a particle into the present/past. GR is making measurements in the predictable past. QM is trying to make measurements of the probabilistic future.

You are on to something. We can all see the same thing but we don't know what it is. I say that andromeda is a realm outside of our plane of existence. It would seem like such a long "time" for its light to reach us because we are so tiny compared. Much like a white blood cell might be outside the plane of my existence. Even though this white blood cell is inside of me, if it were to travel from inside my body to 6 inches away from my face, it would take several of its lifetimes to complete the journey. Even though to us humans, 6 inches is short. "Distance" may be relative just like "time". Makes you wonder if they are two sides of the same coin.

Here is what puzzles me about present time and how Time “flows”. What is so special that I’m sensing present time right now? Is it like I’m alive and flowing on a Big Bang wave that is heading into the future with everybody else around me riding on it and experiencing? But what about before I was even born?; “present time” was still there and existed for everyone else prior. A person from the 1970s for example was in the “present time” the same way as I am now writing this. It makes me want to think that time does not “flow” but everything that will happen is already written and the people who are alive right now are just experiencing it which in turn is relative to each person. Are we riding in the Big Bang wave of time? I’m not sure about that since time is distorted with gravitational forces everywhere in the universe and where there’s a lot of gravitational force time can distort. What about planets or objects that are really close to a black hole of which distorts the fabric of spacetime? Probably for them, we are in the year 5061 while for us, we’re still in the year 2020. The notion of time as well as consciousness is very confusing and hard to grasp from many point of views.

[@fredtaylor9792]

@sonyavincent7450 Mine were definitely dreams and it's possible you just didn't remember the dreams until you were in that moment where you recalled those memories. After my first two experiences, I did some searching on the subject, trying to avoid the mystical and woowoo books. I eventually bought two books by J.W. Dunn. He was an aeronautical engineer in the 30a and 40s when he wrote the books and nobody's really heard of him but the books describe EXACTLY how my dreams played out. In "An Experiment with Time" he describes some of his experiences and performed an experiment where he unlisted friends and family to keep paper and a pen next to their bed and write down their dreams to see if future events matched up. He was scientific about it, dismissing routine things and considering how much time passed between dream to rule out probability over time. He found that almost everyone has these dreams but don't remember them. Writing them down when you first wake up helps you remember them. The second book was called "A Serial Existence", where he explains his theory.... They're hard reads because he was extremely intelligent and had a huge vocabulary but boiled down, his theory was that time is not linear and we've experienced everything we'll experience but our brains only interpret it linearly. He theorized our brains run on electricity and because electricity is at the speed of light and is explained in waves and frequencies, which can change when we sleep and somehow that is the key to understanding the phenomenon. Remember, he was writing these books before we knew much at all about he brain but now we do know some of this stuff does happen when we sleep.

I have a theory. If the past present and future are all together in the 4th dimension something quantum theory also supports, what if somewhere in the future on your timeline (in this life or in another or other dimension) there exists a version of you that is much more intelligent, conscious, more evolved which almost seems like a god and then from the future guides you on your path and that is your subconscious. That is what i think we experience as intuition. That you in the future is talking to you in the now. Is it possible that many people can confuse that with the word or feeling of god? I believe there is a god personally I'm convinced of that but I think those 2 things are hard to distinguish. I think that's why they talk about your higher self if the past present and the future are all there together in the 4th dimension and so in the third. Time is something very interesting. ❤🪽

[@farshadostadalirezania1936]

The idea of future has already happened and free will is not over whelming. Einstein's theory of relativity tells us that motion effects time. So, if we are walking towards someone depending on our speed "how ever small", will tick slowly. If we were to over exaggerate this the individual will notice that the arrow on our watch is ticking slow and we our walking motion will appear slow. From our point of view the individual's watch will tick faster. Well, who is right? According to Einstein, they are both right. Time is in the eyes of the beholder. Free will exists. It would be a fallacy and against science to think that free will is an illusion. Who ever tells you that, they are trying to sell you something.

[@alex79suited]

So there's an experiment I'd like to try. Where you have 3 individuals. Two observers and one in action. This must be done at the distance of the first observers naked eyes distance at the point where the action can be observed as still being able to clearly observe but right at the end of this distance. The second observer only looks through binoculars and thinks he or she is controlling the experiment. The action will walk along a white wall in dark clothing and before he or she reaches the end enters a door. Now to the 2nd observer they tell the action to go in the door and ring bells or make enough noise so the 2nd observer can here. The first observer also wants the action to do something it wants the action to stop when given a signal just stop and stay still. Now the 1st observer says to the 2nd tell me when you observe the action enter the door but don't stop observation. And as the 2nd observer says he's entered the first gives the stop sign. What happens to the action and each observer? I already know what each will observe and hear and what they won't. So the first observer will only see the action standing there, but the second will see it enter and ring those bells along as he keeps observing? And to the 2nd as he scans the wall the action won't be there, but to the first, the action never entered the door or is ringing any bells. He's still standing still. Scary good experiment, eh?

There is definitely more to life than we know and understand. You do hear of people accurately predicting the future or future events. How can that be explained? I remember reading about a child who told his parents the exact place he would die on a road and years later it turned out to be true. Now if people understood these future predictions they could make them turn out to be false by never going to place you would die or never doing an activity that would kill you. Same for some life events that change your life. In 2012 I was involved in a bad car accident which has turned out to make my life better tho at the time it felt like a bad thing. I was in a coma for a week, lost my dog in the accident, had to go through physio to walk again. Now if I’d known in advance it was going to happen I would have avoided it but then my life now would be completely different and probably not as good cos having that accident made me be able to afford to move to a nicer place where my now partner has also moved to. If I hadn’t moved he wouldn’t have moved near me so wouldn’t be in relationship. Looking back now if I had known what the accident would make happen from having it til now I can honestly say the only thing I would have changed is I wouldn’t have had my dog in the car with me at the time. I have got another dog who I got after getting out of hospital who has helped me through everything but I can’t say I would have chosen to lose my last dog in such a bad way to get my current dog.

If time is just another dimension like the x, y and z axes, then there is no "pre" in predetermination. All points exist at (for lack of a better phrase) the same time, so when a decision is made can be at any point in the time axis. Also, we all experience decision making, so if a decision can be made at any point along the time axis, then why not at the point when we think we're making a decision? The "pre" of predeterminism is a mistake of looking at a universe where all time exists, but making theories based on our current idea of time as flowing from past to future. It comes from a mind tied down by how we experience time rather than out time is (under the "time is just another axis in space" theory).

There is no past or present or future or time, these are just ways of thinking about matter moving relatively. Even thoughts are made of matter moving relatively.

[@Vartis360]

@@REDPUMPERNICKEL agree with u from perspective of relativity. Another theory is being formalized and just published for study, that is what I am referring to.

[@REDPUMPERNICKEL]

@@Vartis360 By relatively I mean, the movement of an object 'exists' only relative to other objects thus 'movement' is not a property of an object. Does this understanding relate to 'relationalism'?

[@Vartis360]

@@REDPUMPERNICKEL Yes. In relationalism there is only present. The past is a memory held in the progressing present. In a way, relationalism (unlike relativity) has motion of matter as motion requires a change in time, an interval of time. So, perhaps can say, motion is an interpretation because our brains record and remember something.

[@REDPUMPERNICKEL]

@@Vartis360 After a lifetime of believing 'time' to be a fundamental aspect of existence, it takes a bit of a mental flip to see time as a concept only, that the totality of existence is simply matter moving relatively. Achieving that flip floods one's mind with a quite pleasant calmness.

Time is basically just the measurement of entropy. Time appears to move forward as things change. If entropy didn't exist, then time would be irrelevant.

[@MacM545]

Time might be like the theory of a 4D universe. In theory you can travel in a straight line from Earth, and eventually may end up on Earth. Maybe we are returning to the same point in some time from the past, while by the time we return to the same moment in time, the moment that we've returned to in the past has changed, making for the possible illusion that time is a continuum. Is Continuum the correct word?

[@garrybessant826]

Time is whatever time is. The decisions we make or the things we learn will not change anything, other than what we see and how we see it. Determinism is irrelevant, otherwise where does it stop? If an ant turns left rather than right, what does that change for us. I find these videos fascinating.

the double slit experiment when they fired particles one by one and the intereference pattern still happend as if you shined a light through the two slits tells me the future has already been writen

[@ronaldkemp3952]

I believe the reason why the single electron when fired at the double slits produce a wave interference pattern because when light travels at c it does so as a wave of potential positions in space and time for the single light particle. The light isn't a real particle, taking on a specific location in time until it's observed or strikes an object to be measured. Thus when the single light particle is fired at the double slits and no one looks or measures it, it travels through the slits as a wave, takes on the wave interference pattern. Then when it's measured to see which slit it went through, the single light particle produces a particle pattern. It all has to do with light traveling at c as a wave of potential light and the observer effect. Simply put, the act of looking is what converts the could be potential ight particle into an exact certainty. It's what sparked Einstein into saying the moon was real, even when we're not looking. link to the quote > www.physicsforums.com/threads/bohr-vs-einstein-is-the-moon-there-when-we-are-not-looking.856587/

[@ericlipps9459]

Einstein was a fervent believer in determinism, which holds that there is only one possible history. He sought for decades to uncover "hidden variables" in physics which would negate the uncertainty principle. He did not succeed, and neither has anyone else.

[@ShmuelAmit-u4q]

we are aware of our future in our subconscious mind and we act to manifest that future. so at every moment we activate portion of that future. if so we can say that future and present occur at the same time. this is basic character of our destiny. when we engage with the future and present in every given moment we create ifitisimal past because time is moving forward. so we can clam the the three events future past and present are happening at same time. all this related to the nature of human being life process. the fulfilment of may be assumed as superdeterminizm this is the human nature the force of fulfilment, fulfilment in means that we materialized an event in our life that agree with our life path. I am not sure why we need to involve heavy science here. I will appreciate your comments. Thanks

If the future has already happened, then it seems to have left the humans far far behind in terms of evolving to a better species. Hate, violence, anger, greed, jealousy etc are all the kind of "baggage" which are retrograde to evolving as better species in the future. In fact there will be no future for our species.

Dr. McCoy said, "Star Trek is dead, Jim. Captain Kirk asked "Who and how?" Spock replied, "This realistic scientific time theories video killed Star Trek reality. We can no longer travel at a warp speed beyond light travel in space. The light and time travel for starships is theoretically impossible and has become irrelevant." Scotty said, "I can not change the law of physics! I've got to have thirty years!" Uhuru said, "Captain, I've lost contact with the ship. I was talking to them. Suddenly, it went dead. No static, just nothing." Scotty checked the communicator and replied, "Nothing is wrong with the communicator, sir. Somehow, Enterprise is gone!" Kirk responded, "Advanced literacy or technological superiority has somehow changed the law of physics." Scotty asked, "You mean we're stranded down here?" Spock said, "With no past, no future, no present." Uhura grew fearful and responded to Kirk, "Captain, I'm frightened." Kirk hopelessly said, "We are trapped in a marooned space and time. At least, not the Earth we know. We're totally alone." Captain's log, no stardate. For us, time and place do not exist. It is the Twilight Zone. Holy Star Trek Nightmare, Batman! 😢

[@nolansutherland3502]

Is it possible that all of time is already written and accessible AND free will is available to us? I think so. Say I spontaneously decide to stop my commute to work and go home and do nothing. That would feel very much like free will, but also could and would exist across time. I think as long as you’re bound by time, you’re free to do with it what you like. But those decisions exist across time.

[@charlescowan6121]

It's funny that someone who thinks that space time is smooth and continuous also thinks that events happen out of order.

[@SPDLand]

May I point out that determinism and the next level - block universe, are very peaceful and zen things to accept? Is it not comforting that a mistake, a terrible happening, simply happen since you were not able to do anything different? that it had to happen in that way as it was pre-programmed. While at the same time you need to do all the worrying decision making since that is all part of the process that has been pre-determined. All doubts and re considerations are fixed.

[@mikeg.4211]

Free will exists; it's just we just have already made all of our decisions. It is not perplexing. We move across time that has all already happened, instead of time moving around us. We just can't perceive it that way. Free will vs. determinism is unrelated to time.

[@VietTran-xl2ms]

That is a nonsense question since nothing actually happens or moves or is born or dies. That is like asking if a car or a rock in another location has already happened just because your localized body is not there to perceive it. Likewise, consciousness, when localized inside a single body will perceive and illusion of Self and only be able to experience a single frame of reality per cycle, along with this limitation, there is also the limitation of the sensory organs' limited physical range that allows it only to perceive small areas per cycle of perception. So these things make us feel that both space and "time" are linear and that what is out of range due to localization of consciousness simply does not exist. So we end up believing that the "future" and the "past" do not exist and can never exist because one has not come to birth and the other is dead. But we would be insane to believe that the past never happened because we remember it, and also insane to think there is no future that will arrive just because we cannot see it. Therefore the issue is not whether the future or past actually exist or not, certainly they do exist and we inevitably will experience them in our localized limited containers called our bodies and that experience is labeled as "present". But that is an illusion... there is no "present", "past", or "future"...when you attempt to pin any of them down, you instantly lose them during analysis. Thus we should understand that there is either no past, present or future OR that there is past, present and future eternally and the only thing causing the sensation of "time" is our consciousness bounded and obstructed by our bodily organs that interrupt the experience in a pure state. I posit that if consciousness were unbounded, undifferentiated and unfettered by material bodily sense organs, then due to the lack of "size" of consciousness itself, the lack of physicality itself, it would follow that consciousness unbounded and pure would be able to experience the whole of the universe in not only the physical sense but also the nonphysical sense as in dimensions that are not physical nor material and thus be able to see totality of ALL. Time would thus be a mere artifact or product of material organisms with limited senses.

[@steveDC51]

I have absolutely no idea and suspect I am far from alone.

[@imaxdigital7052]

Time is a human perception. In reality, the "present" is the only moment that exists. The past is an illusion of consciousness. The future is an illusion of consciousness. The "present" itself is also an illusion, if one thinks of it as a moment in time. In reality, it's merely the state of the universe and the position of everything within it. Because conscious beings have a memory, observable events seem to exist in a continuum. Mass, momentum, and relative position are real. Time is a construct. The constant speed of light doesn't elude to an everpresent past and future, what it eludes to is a perpetual present. Time does not exist.

[@keithbessant]

It's all very complicated. We get the idea that all of time exists because the concept of now and synchronicity is relative. But that comes from the idea that events are different for a moving observer, as opposed to a stationary one. But how can there be any movement in the eternal four-dimensional block universe? Things are eternally as they are at one point in spacetime. And they're eternally as they are at another point in spacetime. At time1 I'm here and at time2 I'm there, but I haven't moved from one point to the other, I've always been in both places 😂Personally I prefer Parmenides view of Eternalism to that of modern physics, because for things to be as they are, for any length of time, for any of us to truly exist, we all have to be immortal and eternal.

[@angusdog22]
