Past, Present, and Future

The concept of time has been the subject and review of philosophers and scientists since man could communicate with each other. Very few understand it but all are consumed by it. The thought of time, the passage and misuse, is so ingrained into our thinking that the brief lapses in conscience that provide an escape from it are so valuable to us we pay top dollar for it. So, in this blog I will reveal the secret of time itself. Take a minute (five minutes for those of you who are really slow) and ponder the complexity of time and boundaries we lie within in its grasp. Try to go one day without looking at a clock or other form of timepiece and allow the seconds to unravel without your participation. As an adult, under its constraints, it's virtually impossible. Time is the master of most and the refuge of all. It is a concept so familiar yet so strange and deceptive. Many do not feel they have enough and others wish it would unwind at a faster rate. So what is this thing called time? Is it a dimension by which the universe, and all that is in existence, is defined by? Is it merely a concept of the human reality that is not real at all but rather a biological necessity that is part of our sanity? Did Styx really have "Too much time on their hands"? Is time really the biggest enemy or greatest friend we have? The idea of time in a structured form is different than time in our structure. The basic explanation of time can go something like this - Time is a measurement in the parameters based upon man's position within the world he lives in. So, based upon man's measurement which is controlled by the alignment of matter within the universe such as the rotation of the moon around the earth, the earth orbiting the sun, and the sun's travel within it's defined field of travel, time itself can only be as stable as the world it exists within. So, much as the world is in decay, time itself is within a ratio based upon that decay or decomposition. For instance, a bouncing ball, unleashed from a starting point will continue bouncing down a given path limited by it's potential energy and will continue but will slow down. A car will start, accelerate, and move forward but is dependent upon the capacity of fuel required to power its engine, and it's ability to remain on a stable course of motion forward. A runner will take his/her initial step but that person's travel is dependent upon the shoes they wear, fatigue, energy stored within their bodies and a healthy burning of calories to enable the muscles and organs to function at an allowable depletion of that energy. Time is under similar constraints but in more diverse complexity. Time, if it has a beginning, must be under the same universal stipulations of all things in a created universe. Even if a theory of a big bang construction of the universe were true, time would have a beginning and thus unravel with the expansion such as the boundaries of the universe have been doing. The perception of time as a constant measurement can only hold in a perfect state if time itself was a force or element outside of a expanding or contracting capsule such as the universe. Under the very law of physics and nature, time would see the same effects felt by the universe if its creation had a beginning. So, under Rueuhy's theory of time unravel, time in a structured form, would have the appearance similar to an old LP album on a record player with the needle being the symbol of the present. The past would be at the greater diameter of the record and the future would be the center of the album. As time was started (someone has to plug the record player in and hit the button don't they) the needle commenced a journey on the outer ring of the record. As time decays, such as the universe is in, the needle moves along the grooves and plays a song that we all hear. As that needle travels it revolves a little quicker as it makes it's journey to the center and it's demise. As we hear the music play, and experience a familiar movement along with the needle, our reality is based upon what our sensory input tells us is happening. We have a sense of time unraveling but relative to us it feels like a constant. If we take ourselves out of the picture, and the bigger picture can be seen from afar, we realize that we are limited to the needle but do not position ourselves at a set point on the record. If that were possible our existence would be in direct violation of the laws of physics and consciousness itself. We feel time drag on based upon life's influences upon us at the given moment and we can also feel time unravel at a faster pace if life's influences push us into a different direction. The only way we could prove this theory on time unraveling would require the observer to step outside of the realm of time and take a measurement from the outside and also take a measurement from a different point of time and do a comparison. Because time is an un-physical element we have no possibility of a true measurement of time but can only incorporate the measurement through our own experience and structure around us. The sun goes up and goes down. The sun travels through the universe. The earth travels around the sun. If time is marked and recorded through these parameters then we do not have a true fix on the movement of time and only a human measurement of it. We base time on our perception and not it's true decomposition. This can be the only explanation for a fixed calender, length of a second, and our feeling that time seems to go by quicker every year we live. Time is literally running out and we feel rushed to catch up to it. There is no way to stop it's unraveling and it's a force that is defined within the universe/creation as we can only perceive it. Deja Vu is another concept but there's a lot of stripping involved with that so we'll save that for another day. Which will come sooner than the last one. My name is Rueuhy and I approve this blog.
