Time doesn’t exist

(Note this is a repost from my own blog)

I had the thought that time doesn’t really exist if you think about it hard enough. People look at time and space as a three dimensional environment, space goes in all directions and time goes in another direction entirely keeping a track of its own. Well my thought is that time doesn’t go in a different direction or the same direction or any direction at all. As far as I’m concerned time doesn’t exist, its a figment of the collective consciousness, a little trinket created by man to keep our lives in order. Rotations and revolutions of planets, stars, solar systems, galaxies, and universes aren’t recorded and set by some big dimensional clock, the only things in existence capable of keeping time are sentient beings, like humans and any possible extra terrestrials.

This brings me to another theory/idea that I have which I will explain backwards to forwards to make it most clear to everybody.

When you look at the matter of existence you usually end up with a few options for how it all came to be. If your into the whole religion thing you are usually pretty sure that there is a “God” somewhere out there that created the whole ..everything. For most rational beings this draws you to the question of who or what created god, and then who or what created the who or what that created god, and so on and so forth into complete oblivion. That however is more plausible than the next option of everything ever spontaneously popping into existence without reason. From nothing for no reason is just not a viable answer to anything. I can agree with any people who want to argue god over this point, they are quite right thinking that this is the answer to the big why is completely ridiculous. I wouldn’t have a problem however arguing for the matter that everything has always existed. There was never a point when there was nothing, no time when everything was made. You know why there was never such a time, well for one because time doesn’t exist. For another its the fact that things cannot possibly be made from nothing, its just rather impossible in matter concerning mathematics. There might have been have been a time when nothing living existed, or everything in the universe was all clumped together in some gigantic ball of mass, or it might have been gas or particles or who knows a gigantic friggin star, that exploded and sent its parts all over everything. If thats the case though it would like like everything comes from a gigantic star which explodes and turns into what we have now which expands to a certain point and eventually starts to collapse into itself and turn back into a star. After that the whole thing starts all over again repeated on a time scale which isn’t even comprehendable and I don’t want to think about.

So yes this has been my big rambling ramble about everything and nothing and the non existence of time.

Memory by post?

The title of this post is what it is exactly: my lost memory returned to me by post .

It’s a weird feeling, you know. A while ago I’ve read somewhere about one research on human conscioussnes. They tried to locate our memories in brain. Where do we store memories exactly?

So they selected different people. Their brains were severely damaged, but all of them had memories. Some of the patients went through really freaky accidents, with massive parts of brains amputated or missing as the result.

So they started to exclude suspected parts of our brain in charge of the memories one by one …

OK, it’s not here…It’s missing in this case…and not there either…

Skipping the details, though they had hundreds of cases covering all the possible kinds of damage few times over, they couldn’t locate it precisely.

Apparently our brain stores information as a hologram; even if a part of it damaged, the rest can make up for it.

Some scientists even came to the conclusion that our memories are stored outside of our brains; we can just tap in into that field of global consciousness (something pulsing, fluctuating, shiny and shapeless as I imagine it) and get from there what we need. The electric impulses of our brains are tuned differently, and in accordance with our individual frequencies we pick data produced by us in the past. That could be also an explanation of how some people can read past and memories of other people…

Anyway, it’s a fascinating topic. I don’t have a clue there my memories are; its like seeing the world through a looking glass: small things become big, and big things get lost.

I wrote to a friend of mine a while ago about this idea of storing dreams and memories; he forwarded me back my letter to him sent some years ago.That’s funny, as I completely forgot about these things. Unfortunatelly it’s in Russian though typed in latin letters…well, you can skip it, if you can’t read it. Sorry about that.

Toen was geluk nog heel gewoon.

The memory I most often recall is of a time, roughly 5 or 6 years ago, when philosophy and lost love hadn’t yet taken their toll. A time before radical doubts, scepticism and anxiety. When I focus on the memory intensely, it occasionaly reveals a glimpse of another consciousness. One that feared death more than mornings. I could -do- rather than think, and place my own happiness at the centre of both reason and intuition. It was a time of great wisdom.
