To bring in some thought back into Agora, lets bring in a new concept to debate.
Is time timeless?
And by that, I mean can all time exist at once? From the start of the big bang, right to the end of the universe, somewhere out there eveything is occuring now and only the rate and speed (relative) of your experience of time is different depending on the spacetime you occupy - which in turn limits what you are able to observe.
Why could this be possible? Light is traveling at a speed which by definition is timeless (or would cease time). Being that light is timeless, it is not inconceivable to consider time as nothing more than a sensation or perception of our minds of movement between segments (occupied space) of spacetime. We know you can manipulate time by the speed you travel at (so time is not fixed) but could it also be possible that time is nothing more than the flicking through pages of a book or an 3D animation if you will and that everything that we know or will ever know has already occured but only our perception of that experience has yet to reach the spacetime of that occurrence?
