Time Travel

Time Travel

To time travel or not to time travel, that’s the question. What is time travel as opposed to travel time? And how can we experience time travel? If we understand the true nature of time would we still want to travel to the past or future? 

A person asked me, If time is determined by the planet’s rotation, how do we measure time in outer space? How would we perceive time there?

My Answer,

Your question shows the lack of understanding what time is. 

Time is none of these things. 

-Time isn’t determined by the planet’s motion. 

We have determined time by the motion of our planet. 

-We don’t measure time. 

We measure motion using a clock that shows how long that motion moves. 

-We don’t perceive time here or in space. 

We look at a clock that shows us a number and we use that number as the measurement of motion that has moved since the last moment that we looked at the clock. 

Time is a number and numbers aren’t real things. 

We have to apply that number to our experience of living in the motion of Earth. 

The real power is the energy of motion in the universe. 

The sun doesn’t rise in the morning. The Earth rotates towards the sun and that motion is measured by the clock as time. 

How old are you when you know time?

According to the internet when you are 7 or 8 years old you should know how to tell time from an analogue clock.

How old should you be to understand that a clock measures motion and not time?

Yes, we use the clock’s ticking to measure the time of day.

Yet we don’t seem to know what time really is. On one side of the coin time is the measure of a clock’s ticking and on the other side time is the motion that is being measured. 

What is more real, the ticking clock or the motion rotating the Earth? 

There are two parts to time, one is the event that has a spot on a calendar for your appointment, and two the duration of the event.  

Don’t be alarmed about Time

Even scientists like Einstein and Hawking didn’t know the true nature of time. I am trying to explain the ultimate truth about time for the first time ever. 

As humans we learn to think of time as an event. A time to eat, a time to sleep, a time to work and a time to play etc.

These events become a memory and we dream of these past events, they are so real to us that we want to travel back to those “good old days”. 

That is the aura of time travel. We crave those feelings of pleasure or to make our past mistakes vanish. 

The Truth about Time

Time is a man made invention to keep track of the day’s activities. 

Time was made to measure the duration of one Earth day and one Earth year.

An Earth day was divided into 86,400 seconds and 24 hours. Clock’s tick away the seconds to move at the same rate as the duration of one day. 

When this method of time was invented did they realize that what they were doing was measuring the motion of one Earth rotation on its axis and not a period of one day. 

Time is really the measure of the motion of Earth. The time of day is the position of the Earth in regards to the sun’s position. 

A year is the duration when the Earth completes one orbit around the sun. 

Time is a number that tells us the time of day. We have learned to translate that number to tell us what our experience of it means. For instance, time to eat or to sleep etc. 

Numbers are mathematical units and we actually believe that these numbers are real. But numbers aren’t real things. 

The motion of the Earth is the real thing that time measures. We have learned to believe that time is real. 

We don’t think of motion which is the real force; we only notice the time that a clock shows. 

The Motion of Time or Energy

We measure the motion of all things using the second which is 1/86,400th of a day. So we are comparing every motion to the rotation of Earth.

Our heart beats 72 times per 60/86,400th of a day. We are in sync with mother nature. 

What I’m trying to say is that everything we do is based on a measurement we call time. 

But a measurement isn’t a solid real thing, the motion moving the Earth is the real energy of motion. 

The clock is showing us a number but it’s really a measure of motion and we don’t realize the two sides of time, the number, and the energy of motion. 

The entire universe is moving and expanding with this energy of motion. How do we make sense of this universal motion? 

Motion of the Universe

The Big Bang event was the first movement (motion) of energy into the universe.

This motion of energy has a speed to it that a clock can measure. However, using our Earth clock to time the universe is a bit lame. 

The universe is expanding and accelerating its expansion of motion. This motion is the real energy and not time. 

The Earth is spinning on its axis at 1,000 miles per hour, The Earth is orbiting the sun at 30 km per second or 67,000 miles per hour and the solar system is moving at 220 km per second around the Milky Way Galaxy. 

Time Travel in the Universe  

Now if you are still here you want to know how to time travel to your past. 

As you can see everything is in motion in the universe and time means nothing to it. 

We are all traveling in the motion of the universe using our time of day to live, but we can’t move or travel outside of this motion. 

Time travel is a fantasy, but you can dream about the past as if you are actually there.

May your dreams be happy and as always be well.
