The way i see it, human beings are gifted with the capacity to transcend time. We are essentially time travelers. Does this seem like a stupid idea? Look at it this way. We compress time. All the we are doing in the present are products of past millennia. All of humanity’s knowledge and experience in the past accumulates and are not lost in random senselessness. The internet is just the present form of thousands of years of humanity’s experience in communications. We began with cave paintings, stone carvings, papyrus, hieroglyphics, characters, feather pens, the first printing press, the invention of the tv radio, mass media, and now the internet. We couldn’t have reached this stage without the previous stages and that is why we compress knowledge of the past and present it in its latest form in the present state of the art. This way we have conquered the past–we have compressed time. All that we do in the present is the past summarized and synthesized and metamorphosed in its highest possible form. How about the future? We can intuit the future by simply looking at the present-for in the present lie the seeds and blueprint of the future. We use our imaginations to soar into the future as the future unfolds in the present. What we do now directs us to the future. By using our reason, imagination and creativity, we can shape the future to fit into the mold of our dreams. Thus we blur the distinction between the past, the present, and the future. We have really mastered time. Albert Einstein once said, “The past, the present, and the future are but stubbornly persistent illusions.
In a way, we are really time travelers when it comes to quantum physics. Quantum physics is the study of the very small, and it has shown us that time is not as linear as we once thought. In the quantum world, particles can exist in multiple states at the same time, and they can even travel through time.
One of the most famous examples of this is the double slit experiment. In this experiment, a beam of light is shone through two slits in a barrier. If light were only a wave, we would expect to see an interference pattern on the other side of the barrier. However, what we actually see is a pattern of light and dark bands. This is because the light particles can behave like both waves and particles, and they can interfere with themselves.
This experiment has been repeated many times, and it has always produced the same results. This suggests that time is not linear in the quantum world, and that particles can travel through time.
Of course, this is just one experiment, and it is not proof that time travel is possible. However, it does suggest that we need to rethink our understanding of time. Quantum physics is a complex and fascinating field, and it is still full of mysteries. Who knows what else we will discover about time in the future?
