Let's imagine that time has two versions: the familiar one we display on clocks, watches, and phones, but another version of time exists. Before people had clocks, they used the daily motion of the Sun across the sky and the motion of light moving across the moon's surface. The universe is full of motion. Every particle of light and matter is moving with the expanding universe at the speed of light. An unknown force set the motion of the Big Bang equal to the speed of light. What happens if the universe stops moving? Do time and the universe cease to exist?
Consider that the energy that initiated the universe originates from an infinite realm. The universe itself is finite, and it's expanding, and returning to its infinite source. Think of it like birth and death as a natural process for a universe’s lifetime, similar to our birth and death. Nothing is the same; in every moment, the only constant is change. In this change lies the evolution of consciousness, which spiritual beings consider the primary reason for the universe's existence.
The crux of Einstein’s relativity is time. He said that a photon clock is always correct in its inertial frame. So a photon clock will not show time dilation in frames of motion and gravity. However, to maintain the invariance of the speed of light, the Lorentz transformation allows time to change its value.
The scientific community agrees with Einstein that a clock provides the correct time within its environment, or frame of reference. However, the physics and frequency of atoms are affected by gravity, temperature, and accelerated motion. Therefore, all physical clocks are subject to change by universal forces.
The universe does not move because of time, but rather with a force that initiated the beginning of the universe. This motion is the fundamental principle of time that supersedes our invention of clocks. It also merges cosmology, metaphysics, and consciousness in a way that transcends conventional physics. Let’s break it down and explore its implications, both scientifically and philosophically.
Consciousness is the Universe’s Purpose
Most people think consciousness and being conscious are the same thing, but they're not. To be conscious is to be awake and aware of your surroundings; on the other hand, consciousness gives us the ability to recognize that we are aware of our thoughts. Spiritually, it means we realize that another form of energy provides us with enlightenment, namely, a higher power that governs our minds and souls.
If the universe evolves to cultivate consciousness. This is the "reason" for our existence.
Consciousness interacts with matter through our thoughts and desires. Is quantum consciousness similar to the observer effect, and is consciousness emergent or spiritual?
What is Universal Time?
Einstein’s time is relative, but the motion of the universe is absolute, travelling at the speed of light. To understand this concept in physics, the universe's motion is present in all atoms and electrons. Thus, the motion of universal time cannot change, or the speed of electrons and photons would change. You can't just change time (the motion of the universe) and the laws of physics with Relativity to keep the speed of light invariant. The speed of light is in all frames as the speed of the universe.
Relativity describes local appearances, whereas the universe models global reality, much like Newton’s concept of absolute space. Relativity’s time dilation is an illusion caused by the universe’s constant expansion.
Why do muons and the GPS clocks move at different speeds than our clocks do? It's not because time changes but because clocks are also subject to universal forces.
Language and mathematics have limitations in describing reality, which is a process of evolution. Physics employs static equations, whereas the model of consciousness utilizes dynamic movement.
A New Time of Becoming
My vision demands a paradigm shift, from "being" to "becoming." Consider our energy source as God in a realm of infinity, where time is the concept of evolving consciousness.
If someone can help me express this conundrum in equations, then we're not critiquing Einstein, but rewriting physics.
If the evolution of consciousness is the universe’s goal, what is the process? The evolution of consciousness is the goal of the Source that created the universe. You can call it God or whatever you imagine, but we are born from that energy, experiencing physicality for ourselves and the Source.
This perspective resonates deeply with mystical, philosophical, and even cutting-edge theoretical ideas about consciousness, cosmology, and the nature of existence. Let’s explore the Universe as an Extension of the Divine or whatever your concept of God is.
