Non-linear Time

What if you could stop time and do nothing once you have done so. Frozen along with the universe you have frozen, unable to detach yourself from the universe you are a part of.

What if time is just a belief? Something like God. It influences your life only because you believe in it. And fail to even consider the possibility that it might not exist.

Events are mutually exclusive of one another.
Memories are random sequences which your mind interprets as it has been thought.
The one-dimensional arrow of time is just a way of looking at these events. Just one of the many ways. If you could change this arrow to pass through events in a different way, it would be a completely different way at looking at the world.

Like a Bunuel film I remember, where he threw in events that had nothing to do with one another. But because he played them one after the other, you found meaning in them.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
