Story of the Missing Key

Story of the Missing Key

  My key was missing, and it was hiding in another dimension. It happened to me.

I lost my car key, and for the love of science, I looked everywhere twice. 

They say you haven’t looked in the right place until you find it. I mean, I’m at home, and I swear it was on the kitchen table last night. 

It’s driving me to walk when I want to drive. But seriously, I eventually found it in another dimension. 

I looked in my pockets many times, thinking that it would be there because it had to be. 

It was almost by accident that my finger went into the little pocket on top of the main pocket in my jeans. 

That little top pocket in my jeans is almost like another dimension because I never use it or think about it. It’s funny, but I was also embarrassed in my joy because it was in such an obvious location.

This key story relates to dimensions. If you are looking for a dimension inside a dimension, it doesn't exist. 

Scientists look for dark matter and can not find its hiding place. They know it’s there somewhere, and it’s driving them crazy. 

They can see the effects of it, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere.

We live in one dimension (realm). We don’t have a name for our dimension because we think that our dimension is the only one. 

We call this the 3rd dimension because there are three spatial dimensions to all things. Objects have a width, height, and depth. 

How Many Dimensions Exist 

There are only three spatial dimensions, no more and no less. Even a dot on a piece of paper has three dimensions: height, width, and thickness. 

One and two dimensions exist only on a drawing. But if you measure the thickness of the ink, pencil, or paper, you always have three spatial dimensions. 

If you want to know about other realms, the difference would be in the energy level (frequency), not the number of spatial dimensions. 

For example, water exists as a solid, liquid, and gas. Each time a phase transition of hydrogen oxide takes place, its frequency increases into a new state.  

When water is a gas, it's in a higher frequency, and it’s invisible to our eyes, just like the key that was invisible to me.

Is Time A Dimension

Time is an abstract idea, and numbers are abstract things. You can’t see abstract ideas, but you can see numbers. 

You can see a clock and the numbers displayed on a clock, but you can’t see time.

You can see things moving, and you can measure how fast things are moving, but you can’t see time. 

Time is not the motion. Time is a measurement of motion. For example, you don’t see the Earth moving. You see the sun moving across the sky. 

Time has no physical property and no dimension. You might say that time has three dimensions, past, present, and future. 

But you can't see the past or future. You have memories of the past, and you plan for the future. 

When you just finished taking a breath, it doesn’t exist anymore, and now you are taking another breath, and you expect to have another breath. 

The only real breath happens in your present moment. Time doesn’t exist except in your present moment. 

Is The Present Moment A Dimension?

I am starting to answer your question at the present moment. I have an idea how to answer your question, but I don’t know if my words will be a good answer. 

Now I’m thinking about answering your question, and I’m still in my present moment. I conclude that the past is gone. I feel like every moment is now. 

When I answer your question, I won’t be in the future but still in my present moment. I wonder about the future, and if you will like my answer?

You and I are always in our present moment, and we never reach the future. The future is an idea or an abstract thing that never arrives. 

We only arrive in the future in our present moment. It’s our presence that is the answer! 

We are always in the present moment. The I Am Presence is our reality. My only question is, how long does the present moment last? I conclude it lasts as long as you live.

Our Motion In Time

People perceive time in different ways. Time is a subjective experience that governs your daily activity. 

Timekeeping was invented so we can keep track of our life with clocks and calendars. 

Time isn’t a real physical thing that can cause motion or a change to something. That sounds strange, but time is a measurement of motion and then called time. Let me explain.

Every physical thing has electrons moving at light speed. Your body contains atoms and electrons in constant motion, and you are emitting photons of heat and energy. 

If you didn't emit photons, you would be invisible. This motion exists in the universe and started with the Big Bang event. 

Our invention of time measures the motion of Earth. The motion is real, but time isn’t real. Time is a measurement of motion, and we use the earth's motion to keep track of our life.

Think of it this way; we feel gravity and time. We have measured the force attracting us to the earth and called it gravity. 

We have measured the motion of the earth and called it time.

In physics, time accurately measures motion and energy. The only way physics can describe a motion is to measure its rate and compare it to a clock. 

However, the clock's motion moves with the motion of the earth. 

The main thing to understand is that the motion is real, and time is a measurement. Do you agree that time is a great invention?

I hope you enjoy thinking about my view of things. Join me at https://lovinthings.com/ 

As always, take care, and be safe. See you next week.
