The Nature of Time

You will be very surprised by my following posts. And I swear you won't have to know know any Physics or math.

To know the nature of Time, consider ringing a bell twice. You hear two dongs, and the easiest thing to observe or SENSE about this is that the dongs are SEPARATED in some way, although the two dongs happened at the same exact place. We can then create a 3rd dong that is "separated" from the second dong by the same amount as the 2nd dong was separated from the 1st dong. We repeat this process with a 4th and then a 5th ringing of the bell, etc.

And just like we can define a "spatial" separation of two objects in a system of units, like feet or meters, we can define the "event" separation of the dongs as one "second" or one "minute." To distinguish this type of "event" separation from a spatial one, we call this a TEMPORAL separation.

And just as organizing the positions of objects around us and knowing their distances from each other creates the concept of SPACE, so the temporal separation of events like a horn honking or a bell ringing or a dog barking can be organized by their temporal separations, and you create the concept of TIME.

The Red Pill is this: In today's world, there are many ways that the concepts of Space and Time go against the nature of Space and Time that I described above. For instance, can you go back in time? What would that mean? What exists is events happening at generally (by definition) different times.

When I say "At a certain time," I mean something like: It happened at the same time that the bell rung its 423rd time. So how can you be born, live a life, and then go "back" in time to be born again? That would mean you were born twice at the same time. That makes no sense.

Time is not a place. The past is not something that still exists somehow and you can go back to it. A "place" exists thru time, so that you can leave your couch and then go back to it. But once an event happens, you can replicate it, of course, (that is how you create a clock) but you can't go back to it.

But once you ring a bell, that event is gone. Every other dong is a new one.
