Time and Spirituality

Every day physicists are continuing to prove rationally that our rational ideas about world in which we live in are profoundly deficient. The final acceptance of this new knowledge will transform our world and reality in a manner that is difficult to comprehend.

An example of how these new discoveries will shatter our view of the world and our reality can be seen in the new views we see in the simple and most basic concepts of reality, like the concept of time.

As science continues to make us doubt our own perception of reality it forces us to ask an important question. What will the impact be on our views of spirituality and religion? Physicists have always been separated from the world of philosophy and religion by the strict walls of analytical science.

Rediscovering Ancient Wisdom

But something very exciting may be happening. Is it possible that today’s physicists are simply rediscovering the ancient wisdom that shows the sense of wonder that connects us with the universe and God?

The new discoveries of what is being called the new physics is crossing into and driving support for many long-standing views that have been held sacred by some religions for thousands of years.

In the last ten years, high energy scattering experiments have continued to show us the dynamic and ever-changing nature of the sub-atomic particle world in the most striking way. Using particle accelerators and super colliders, which are enormous circular machines with circumferences of several miles; protons are accelerated to velocities near the speed of light and are then made to collide with either protons or neutrons.

Matter has appeared in these experiments to be completely mutable. All particles can be transmuted into other particles, matter can be created from energy and it can vanish into energy.
A Reality of Only Information and Energy

One scientist ahead of his time in this area is Mihai Draganescu of Bucharest. In Dr. Draganescu’s view of the world classical concepts such as elementary particles, space, time, material substance, or isolated objects have lost their meaning. Instead he sees a universe and reality whose fabric is woven only of information and energy.
A Single Dynamic Web of Energy

Without a doubt, these new scientific tools, theories and research are closing a circle and leading to the same conclusions of many ancient beliefs. This conclusion is that the world, and everything, and everyone in it are all part of the same, inseparable, dynamic web of energy.

Since we are a part of this web of energy is it also possible then that the human mind could master time? Or is it possible that the human mind itself is a time machine.

In physics the special theory of relativity states that by accelerating and moving at close to the speed of light we can actually dilate time and make time pass more slowly for a person who is traveling so fast. In this way one could travel forward in time.

Energy-mediated processes in the brain may support time travel. Is the Human Mind a Time Machine?

Neurophysiology states that the process of the brain, including thinking, are achieved through the process of depolarization and repolarization of the membranes of the neurons that build the nervous system. The end result is the creation of electrical currents and energy.

We know from Einstein’s famous equation “E = MC2” that mass and energy are interchangeable. But it is certain that energy will be far superior than mass if we were trying to accelerate one to near the speed of light. Any mass no matter how small would require infinite energy to reach the speed of light.

According to modern physics this is not possible and light speed is a real limitation for any object. However energy may be a different story.

Pure energy can travel very easily at the speed of light. By considering all the above can we conclude that thinking, which is an energy-mediated process, should allow for the processes that govern time viewing, time travel and phenomenon such as precognition?

These possibilities are now being explored around the world. The ground-breaking work of people like Dr. Bruce Goldberg, Rick and Louisa Clerici and others continue to deliver new techniques and promise that will help people around the world tap into this power of the human mind.

By continuing to explore the energy-mediated processes of the human mind we may begin to better understand that it may be just as easy for our mind to interact and possible control time itself.
The New Alignment of Science, Religion and Philosophy

The New Alignment of Science, Religion and Philosophy

The effect of these new discoveries on our culture will be staggering in its power to lead the people of the world to enlightenment. The majority of our world population still embraces the material and scientific as the only real truth of reality.

It’s ironic that for the first time it may be these very scientific beliefs that will cause many to look beyond the walls of analytical science and step into a deeply personal, thoughtful and inspiring journey that will help them find their true place in the universe, and the universe within themselves.

The impact of science, religion and philosophy now aligned so closely for the first time cannot be underestimated. This could open a floodgate ushering the masses of the world’s population into the new age and lead to a new enrichment of the human experience for more people across the globe than ever before experienced in the documented history of civilization.

It is very impressive that this “new” view of the universe, the same views held by metaphysicists and eastern mystics for thousands of years is now being rediscovered in the strangest of places, in the scientific laboratories all around the world.
Additional Thoughts on the View of Time in Religion

Hindu Units of Time

Shown Logarithmically In the Old Testament book Ecclesiastes, traditionally ascribed to Solomon (970–928 BC), time (as the Hebrew word עדן, זמן `iddan(time) zĕman(season) is often translated) was traditionally regarded as a medium for the passage of predestined events. (Another word, זמן zman, was current as meaning time fit for an event, and is used as the modern Hebrew equivalent to the English word "time".)

There is an appointed time (zman) for everything. And there is a time (’êth) for every event under heaven–
A time (’êth) to give birth, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted.
A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to tear down, and a time to build up.
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
A time to throw stones, and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, and a time to shun embracing.
A time to search, and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep, and a time to throw away.
A time to tear apart, and a time to sew together; A time to be silent, and a time to speak.
A time to love, and a time to hate; A time for war, and a time for peace. – Ecclesiastes 3:1–8

Linear and cyclical time

In general, the Judaeo-Christian concept, based on the Bible, is that time is linear, with a beginning, the act of creation by God. The Christian view assumes also an end, the eschaton, expected to happen when Jesus returns to earth in the Second Coming to judge the living and the dead. This will be the consummation of the world and time. St Augustine's City of God was the first developed application of this concept to world history. The Christian view is that God is uncreated and eternal so that He and the supernatural world are outside time and exist in eternity. Christian Science defines time as "error" or illusion[citation needed].

Ancient cultures such as Incan, Mayan, Hopi, and other Native American Tribes, plus the Babylonian, Ancient Greek, Hindu, Buddhist, Jainist, and others have a concept of a wheel of time, that regards time as cyclical and quantic consisting of repeating ages that happen to every being of the Universe between birth and extinction.
Numeric and Divine time

The Greek language denotes two distinct principles, Chronos and Kairos. The former refers to numeric, or chronological, time. The latter, literally "the right or opportune moment," relates specifically to metaphysical or Divine time. In theology, Kairos is qualitative, as opposed to quantitative.

Where Did the Time Go? Do Not Ask the Brain

MIND
Where Did the Time Go? Do Not Ask the Brain
By BENEDICT CAREY

That most alarming New Year’s morning question — “Uh-oh, what did I do last night?” — can seem benign compared with those that may come later, like “Uh, what exactly did I do with the last year?”

Or, “Hold on — did a decade just go by?”

It did. Somewhere between trigonometry and colonoscopy, someone must have hit the fast-forward button. Time may march, or ebb, or sift, or creep, but in early January it feels as if it has bolted like an angry dinner guest, leaving conversations unfinished, relationships still stuck, bad habits unbroken, goals unachieved.

“I think for many people, we think about our goals, and if nothing much has happened with those then suddenly it seems like it was just yesterday that we set them,” said Gal Zauberman, an associate professor of marketing at the Wharton School of Business.

Yet the sensation of passing time can be very different, Dr. Zauberman said, “depending on what you think about, and how.”

In fact, scientists are not sure how the brain tracks time. One theory holds that it has a cluster of cells specialized to count off intervals of time; another that a wide array of neural processes act as an internal clock.

Either way, studies find, this biological pacemaker has a poor grasp of longer intervals. Time does seem to slow to a trickle during an empty afternoon and race when the brain is engrossed in challenging work. Stimulants, including caffeine, tend to make people feel as if time is passing faster; complex jobs, like doing taxes, can seem to drag on longer than they actually do.

And emotional events — a breakup, a promotion, a transformative trip abroad — tend to be perceived as more recent than they actually are, by months or even years.

In short, some psychologists say, the findings support the philosopher Martin Heidegger’s observation that time “persists merely as a consequence of the events taking place in it.”

Now researchers are finding that the reverse may also be true: if very few events come to mind, then the perception of time does not persist; the brain telescopes the interval that has passed.

In a study published in the December issue of the journal Psychological Science, Dr. Zauberman led a team of investigators who tested college students’ memory of a variety of news events, including the appointment of Ben S. Bernanke as chairman of the Federal Reserve (33 months before the study) and Britney Spears’s decision to shave her head (20 months). On average, the students underestimated how much time had passed by three months, the study found.

This was not entirely a surprise. In one classic experiment, a French explorer named Michel Siffre lived in a cave for two months, cut off from the rhythms of night and day and manmade clocks. He emerged convinced that he had been isolated for only 25 days. Left to its own devices, the brain tends to condense time.

But the way it fixes the relative timing of events depends on memory, the new study found. To the extent that the students in the study remembered developments related to the original event — Ms. Spears’s complicated love life, say, or Mr. Bernanke’s interventions in the economy — that event seemed farther away. In a series of experiments, the researchers tested personal memories and memories of film clips seen in the lab. The pattern held up: the more intervening related developments came to mind, the longer away the original event seemed.

“People have a hard time understanding the passage of time,” Dr. Zauberman said, “and in order to understand it latch onto something we do understand” — the unfolding of events.

His co-authors were Jonathan Levav of Columbia University, Kristin Diehl of the University of Southern California and Rajesh Bhargave of the University of Texas, in San Antonio.

In earlier work, researchers found a similar dynamic at work in people’s judgment of intervals that last only moments. Relatively infrequent stimuli, like flashes or tones, tend to increase the speed of the brain’s internal pacemaker.

On an obvious level, these kinds of findings offer an explanation for why other people’s children seem to grow up so much faster than one’s own. Involved parents are all too well aware of every hiccup, split lip and first step in their own children; whereas, seeing a cousin’s child once every few years, without intervening memories, telescopes the time.

On another level, the research suggests that the brain has more control over its own perception of passing time than people may know. For example, many people have the defeated sense that it was just yesterday that they made last year’s resolutions; the year snapped shut, and they didn’t start writing that novel or attend even one Pilates class. But it is precisely because they didn’t act on their plan that the time seemed to have flown away.

By contrast, the new research suggests, focusing instead on goals or challenges that were in fact engaged during the year — whether or not they were labeled as “resolutions” — gives the brain the opportunity to fill out the past year with memories, and perceived time.

Finally, the mind is perfectly capable of interpreting a fast-forward year, or decade, as something other than a frittering away of opportunities for self-improvement. In another series of experiments published in Psychological Science, psychologists found that when people were tricked into believing that more time had passed than was really the case, they assumed they must have been having more fun. The perception heightened their enjoyment of music and eased their annoyance at doing menial tasks.

“One thing that social psychology taught us over and over is that the mind is a wonderful sense-making device, that it takes ambiguous or confusing information and simplifies it according to rules of thumb,” said Aaron M. Sackett, a psychologist at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota who was the study’s lead author.

“In this case, feeling time is shortened but knowing that it’s inflexible, we have to rely upon our own beliefs to make sense of the difference. And one of those is ‘Time flies when you’re having fun.’ ”

A year like 2009 surely wasn’t all fun. But some of it surely was — and what better excuse for neglecting the dreary demands of self-improvement?

Time, Travel, Over Time, Gnawing
clif high
January 21, 2010

I was wrong about time travel, it is not possible… but before this is explored further, certain definitions need to be established just for clarity. Time is tricky stuff after all, and the in-built ambiguity of language also contributes to easily missing the many facets of the time conundrums.

Time Travel defined:
So let us first define what is meant by ‘time travel’. In this instance, what is meant is the ability of a human in the sense of body, mind and consciousness, leaving a point in time, hereafter labeled the Point of Temporal Origin (PTO), and then ‘arriving’ within a different temporal destination. In this definition, any movement in space is not considered as a key component of time travel, though it may certain occur as a side effect.

An example would be if our human subject, let’s call him George, whose Point of Temporal Origin (PTO) is the first month of the year 2010, was able to temporally relocate himself to a Temporal Destination (TD) of May, 1885. In this example, the totality of George, as body, mind, consciousness, et al, is relocated to the new temporal destination in 1885 and is also removed from his PTO of 2010. He would leave the year 2010 in a single instant, and the next period of experienced time would begin at some point in May of 1885. In order for it to be 'real' time travel according to this definition, all of George, including his consciousness connection to his physical form would be now existent in 1885, and no longer in 2010.

We note that the ‘direction’ chosen to ‘move’ in time is not pertinent to the definition of time travel. Therefore, for our example, George could just as easily choose to relocate to the year 2095 just as easily as 1885. So going into past or future is not a pertinent element to the idea of time travel.

The Einstein concept of ‘relative time travel’ which is to say the concept of our test subject George getting into a space ship and zooming off at very fast speeds moving toward the speed of light such that ‘time’ will become relative to George is not time travel as we define it here. After 10/ten years of elapsed time-experience in this space ship journey, George returns to Earth to find that 80/eighty years has actually past and he is therefore in the ‘future’. This, under our definition, is NOT time travel. This example is traveling in space in a manner which merely reduces the impact of the passage of time on consciousness. In this instance, our test subject George, actually still lives through the 80/eighty intervening years, but simply due to the speed of his journey though space, only a fraction of the ‘time’ is able to catch up with him, and therefore the body/mind/consciousness that is George experiences only a fraction of the time. In this case, this is not ‘time travel’. George still experiences time, albeit at a slower level, and has to travel in space to achieve the effect, and he cannot ‘return’ to his point of origin, nor to move outside of the time flow in any manner. All that relativity accomplishes is to reduce the level of the time experience on the body/mind that is George.

Travel in Space, outside of Time:
Yet another concept that needs to be defined as it has/is a corollary to time travel, is the idea of traveling in space, but outside of time. In this instance, the idea is that no time is involved, even though there may be very large movements in space for our hapless temporal test pilot George. This example would have George get into his space ship, and then to more or less instantly leave point of spatial origin, and then to more or less instantly arrive at the new spatial destination. In this example the travel is achieved without a large passage of time. Here George is able to benefit from relativity in that there is no (or extremely small) experienced passage of time, yet vast distances may be traversed. While not directly related to time travel, this space-travel-outside-of-time is a necessary concept for the discussion as it is the ‘opposite’ of time travel, and is a useful comparison in our thought experiments.

Continuous Creation model of universe defined:
I had previously brought up the idea of the central pulse coming from the middle of universe at the rate of 22/twenty-two trillion times a second. This pulse does not merely provide a synchronizing ‘beat’ for universe. Such an understanding is severely lacking. Rather this pulse IS universe in the very real sense of the pulse triggering creation.

As it happens, this pulse comes 22/twenty-two trillion times a second, and every time it occurs, the universe that consciousness experiences as the ‘material world or universe’ creates itself. That is the pulse comes out of the central point of universe and using no-time, travels instantly to the center of all galaxies, and through them to all other matter in universe down to the level of the perceived atomic solidity, and then each and every ‘atom’ within universe creates itself to the beat of the pulse.
We note a number of points about this idea. There are also 22/twenty-two trillion pauses each second, and these pauses allow for the existence of what physics calls ‘entropy’. Further it is the duality of pulse/pause that allows for all perceived movement, including the ‘perceived passage of time’. We note that it is the speed of creation (at the rate of 22/twenty-two trillion times a second), that tricks our minds and senses into perceiving reality as ‘solid’. Further, as our senses themselves, along with our bodies and minds, are participating in the continuous creation, it is nearly impossible to ‘see’ continuous creation as it occurs.
Within the continuous creation model of reality, it can be observed that what has been called the ‘indivisible unit’ or the ‘kalapa’ in past science, is what the modern academicians are spending all their time and money attempting to ‘see’ with their machinery. However as their model of reality has atoms as ‘solid’, they are of the opinion that multiple different types of sub atomic particles exist. In ‘reality’, there is only the Indivisible Unit which has (according to the yogic and taoist traditions) some 66/sixty-six thousand (66,000) aspects. So where the academicians see a ‘solid’ particle that they call a ‘quark’ or 'gluon' or 'meson'....et al, the mind informed about continuous creation observes that the scientists are actually seeing a small sub set of the 66/sixty-six thousand aspects and mistaking it for a ‘separate’ thing. So much for the Large Hadron Collider and any expected ‘real’ results.

In the continuous creation model of reality, all of what can be observed within the material universe is really a complex arrangement of standing waves or vibrations which are vibrating so fast as to trick those of us within material universe into perceiving it as solid. Part of this trick has to do with the apparent, or perceived passage of time. The perceived passage of time for those beings within universe is dependent upon the duality of the pulse and pause. Not only does the pause allow for entropy to exist, it also provides the perceived dynamism of ‘time’. It is worth noting here that the sensory supplied human (and other earth life form) minds are perceiving at the rate of about 30 to 60 frames (pulse/pause rate) per second, so it is little wonder that such minds are convinced that reality is solid.

Note: In the continuous creation model of reality, the pulse creates universe 22/twenty-two trillion times a second, while the pause allows for the complete destruction of all that has just been created. Movement in the rational mind cannot occur in material world without the duality of both continuous creation, and continuous destruction. In other words, for percieved movement of any and all kinds to occur in material universe, it is necessary that the 'matter' of material universe not be all that solid, and that gaps for destruction of all atoms and everything exist in 'time'.

Time defined:
Within the continuous creation model of reality, the definition of time becomes a bit simpler on the poor human mind. In fact, since reality is continuously destroying itself 22/twenty-two trillion times a second, it logically follows that the ‘past’ exists in only the space between a pulse and the following pause in which reality destroys itself. Thus ‘past time’ is now explained.

Of course, we note that humans, trapped as complex vibration fields (both dynamic and standing = yang/yin) in which our sensory organs, and perception abilities are limited to 30/thirty to 60/sixty pulse/pause per second, will perceive the ‘past time’ as somewhat longer due to the ‘lag time’ that is involved with our processing of our sensory perceptions. Make sense? So even our sensory organs down at the atomic and lower levels are destroying themselves 22/twenty-two trillion times a second, but because we life forms operate at so much slower a mental rate, we are not aware of our own continuous destruction, or continuous creation. Nor for that matter, the rest of material universe that we ‘think’ surrounds our corporal forms.

Continuous creation/destruction model of reality also necessarily reinforces the old yogic/taoist notion that there is ‘only one moment’, and to ‘live in the moment’. Clearly this is the ONLY thing possible as we are continuously being destroyed, along with reality, and thus no other moments, or time exist. There is only this moment. Again we note that a ‘moment’ IS longer that 22/twenty-two trillionth of a second, but again, this is a perceptive issue relative to our processing speed.

The continuous creation/destruction model of reality also, necessarily, proves that human consciousness is outside of ‘time’ and ‘material reality’ as we all ‘know’. However this model of reality demonstrates that consciousness must be independent of material reality as it would otherwise be ‘destroyed’ 22/twenty-two trillion times a second. This cannot be happening as there is a known, demonstrable continuity over ‘time’ or through the pulse/pause series. That we have consciousness persisting beyond a single burst pulse/pause event demonstrates that consciousness is outside of, and is not affected by, material reality. Further this establishes that consciousness is ‘immortal’ as it is not destroyed. It can also be noted that consciousness is also not affected by time. That is to say, while mental perceptions within life change and ‘age’, consciousness does not change. It is there until it separates from material reality at what we have labeled the point of death.

Within the yogic/taosist understanding of the continuous creation/destruction model of universe the totality of the 66,000 (sixty six thousand) aspects or kalapas are roughly divided into thirds. Each of these sets of about a third of these aspects are called a guana in Sanskrit. The yogic model has reality divided up into guanas of ‘period’, and ‘form/figure’, and ‘dynamism’. In the taoist model, the 66,000 aspects are divided into ‘time’, ‘figure’, and ‘movement’. Without respect to this division, both traditions also note that the ‘universal creation’ takes about half of all the aspects, and is spread evenly through all 3/three guanas. The other half of the aspects are for the ‘personal expression’ of the life within reality. It can be noted from both traditions that ‘time’ is a central component so key as to take up a third of the creation/destruction of reality.
Why Time Travel is not possible
Within the continuous creation and destruction model of reality, it is obvious that such concepts of a ‘river’ of time are nonsensical. Time does not exist, other than the now. In fact, this model of reality demonstrates that time does not exist except as the impact of ‘events’ or ‘movement’ upon the mental processes of life within material reality. Noting that ‘time’ is existent only as a perception by life within material reality, by extension it can be postulated that ‘time’, being a perception and not a ‘thing’, must have nuance, and differences in its state of perception. Stated another way, time is not a constant, but rather is a perception and therefore is affected by the mind doing the perceiving. Thus we have an easy explanation for why there are various ‘flavors’ of time-feeling, such that the human mind is aware of the differences between the experience of various ‘types’ of time, and invents words/concepts such as ‘karios’ to better communicate the idea.

So time is a perception, that is to say, it is subject to our personal experience of it and is therefore not a universal constant. This does not mean that such things as mechanistic forms of time, as in ‘chronos’ do not exist, but rather that such are merely required aspects of the total experience of time, and not a ‘thing’ in and of itself.

The simple answer as to why time travel is not possible has already been noted. Time does not exist, therefore to ‘travel’ in it is without real meaning. Time is a complex perception of the pulse/pause of continuous creation, which as noted, also brings along with it, continuous destruction. Thus the ‘past’ does not exist except as a construct within our experience, again, not an independent part of reality. Therefore travel to the past is not possible. After all, it is gone, 22/twenty-two trillion times a second it is destroyed. The only ‘time’ that exists is the now.

Conversely, it is not possible to travel to the future, as it also does not exist. The next ‘future’ point in time that will exist is 22/twenty-two trillionth of a second away from both creating and destroying itself. Again, the ‘future’ does not exist. Not only has it not happened yet….it will, in a very ‘real’ manner, never actually happen at all.

It can be seen from this description that the analogy of time as being ‘river’ like is totally misplaced, and that construct is the point from which the erroneous idea of time travel originates.

Future and past knowledge
While the continuous creation/destruction model of reality does not allow for traveling in time, it does allow for knowledge of both past and future within the present moment. Of course the mind can record and retain memories of past events in the continuous creation of time and reality, and thus have a knowledge of ‘past’ time.

Understanding how the corporal mind can have knowledge of the future is not so easily seen in the continuous creation/destruction model of universe. As the mind functions at such a low level of vibration relative (30 to 60 ‘frames’ of reality per second), and noting that there is NOT a solid thing in universe, including the perceiving human brain, and that all in universe is actually vibration, it can be noted that as reality creates itself, it will ALWAYS be creating itself ‘ahead’ of the mental abilities of those beings within material reality. Stated another way, since your mind is consuming time in cogitation about reality, it is doing so ‘behind’ the actual creation of the reality it contemplates. Therefore the mind doing the perceiving of reality is always operating behind the creation/destruction of reality, and so to speak, is operating as a memory, rather than a really instant expression of the now. Thus reality is ever so slightly ‘ahead’ in creating/destroying itself, and thus the ‘mind’ of those experiencing time, is vibrating at a slower level than the passage of time. Thus the lag time in mental processing means that the ‘future’ is being created now, while we are really perceiving the ‘now’ as memories. In this understanding then, and noting that our bodies and minds are actually standing and dynamic vibration fields, vibrating in sync with universe, it becomes understandable that as creation/destruction occurs, it will necessarily affect or impact some of the waves/fields that compose those of us experiencing time. Therefore, ever so slightly ‘ahead’ of our ability to process it, is knowledge of the future just created. This is one level of knowledge about the future, but continuous creation/destruction model allows for others.

To provide a crude example for greater clarity, consider the sun. It takes an apparent 8.56 minutes for light to travel from the sun and reach earth. IF the sun were to explode now, or turn green now, your senses would not pick up that information for 8.56 minutes. Thus, in a real sense, you would be dead or green for a full 8.56 minutes without realizing it.

However, for a more complete understanding of manifesting reality, we need to consider consciousness as well. Noting that consciousness is outside of, and is unaffected by time, we can postulate that the consciousness therefore is knowing about reality at an entirely different level than is perceived (or even perceivable?) within reality. It would therefore not be surprising if consciousness ‘knew everything’ about everything. It is extra-temporal, and is also ‘extra-reality’, in the sense that consciousness is outside of the continuous creation/destruction of reality. Therefore it likely knows all kinds of interesting things that it is simply not able, or willing to communicate to the mental processes that are within material reality. Nor should it. Likely the point of reality is the experiencing it as we do, and therefore too much ‘fore knowledge’ would put that experience at risk. Which is probably why the ‘uncertainty factor’ for all ‘future knowledge’ exists. This is to say that it is probably a necessary part of our mental sanity/process that uncertainty about the ‘future’ should exist until that ‘future’ manifests.

Over Time
There are all kinds of interesting corollaries to the continuous creation/destruction understanding of reality.

It should be noted that this model fully supports the Terrance McKenna idea of an eschaton, or world-time ending. The eschaton is actually a predictable effect of the continuous creation/destruction model. As reality creates and destroys itself, it does so to allow for dynamism or movement, or change. Change allows for the growth of complexity, as does the nature of the underlying vibration fields that actually is material reality. It is a predictable part of reality that complexity would increase over time. Further the increase in complexity should proceed predictably toward a crescendo point, in so far as mind is concerned. This crescendo is probably associated with an increase in complexity of the perception of time such that an eschaton will be reached. Thereafter the ‘what’ of reality is anyone’s guess.

The continuous creation/destruction model allows for travel in space without regard to time. Basically what happens is that the ‘location’ aspects for a body or being or device are ‘reset’ and then allowed to express themselves during the next pulse/pause period. Thus nearly, as far as mind is concerned, instant movement in space without experiencing the ‘time’ of the movement. At a very core level, such travel would occur outside of time, as it would happen at vibration levels beyond the ability for our mental processes to perceive. By the way, it can also be noted that such forms of travel would have an impact on the human body/mind that may have to be treated as a health issue. More on this in another discussion.

The continuous creation/destruction model also supports the inherent validity of the concepts within meditation. Through meditative training (which may also be possible from drugs/chemicals?), the mind to consciousness link can be altered, and perception at a higher level of vibration is therefore possible. Thus the validity of the martial arts saying of “the novice moves from his extremities, the adept from his torso, and the master moves from mind”. And it therefore becomes understandable that the process of mastery, possibly of any discipline, brings the aspirant to a higher level of vibration, and thus a higher level of contact with continuously creating reality, and a potential for greater understanding of both universe and themselves.

The continuous creation/destruction model also explicitly supports the ‘siddhis’ as they are defined within section 2 of the Science of Yoga. The ‘siddhis’ are extra-normal (as we think of the term) abilities which are gained as a human progresses through the yogic or taoist process. The siddhis include a wide range of abilities, including knowing about past and future, but not traveling there.

Conclusion:
So I was incorrect about time travel. It cannot happen in the continuous creation/destruction model of universe. Nor is the concept meaningful in the sense of the multiverse where the idea would be to travel to a different universe where the ‘when’ of things is different. There are issues here relating to the single point of connection between consciousness and any material body/mind in reality that would also prevent inter-universe travel within the multiverse, but that is left for another discussion.

I had been wrong about time travel due to not thinking through the issues involved with both time, and the nature of corporeal existence. It is just not feasible to ‘move’ continuous creation/destruction in ‘time’.

Well, this understanding now means (until proven wrong) that time travel is not possible and people professing to have been involved in successful time travel are either wrong or lying. Further, while I am sure that many time travel experiments will continue to take place, it seems unlikely in the extreme that any involving the shifting of life in time, are going to succeed.

This also means that the UFO issue of traveling without respect to time is very probably existent throughout this universe. The other, numerous logical conclusions within the continuous creation/destruction model are just waiting to be detailed. Many will relate to what is possible at greater levels of vibration awareness than the usual ‘single state’ experience of life within manifesting reality.

Addendum:
The idea of skepticism is one well worth hanging onto in these coming days and over this next year. The data sets from the SpaceGoatFarts entity had been filled with the notion that TPTB and their minions would be working over-time (LOL) to ‘poison’ the ‘truth movement’ with disinformation. It therefore is in the observers interest to maintain a healthy skepticism toward all ideas presented.

Noting that it is the sign of an educated mind to be able to hold, and model an idea without having to first accept it that basically defines skepticism. The concept is to model the offered information and deliberately seek flaws in its presentation and relation to reality that would prove its false. Then, if these are not found, it can be observed and modeled more closely with the idea that it MIGHT be part of manifesting reality and in that sense be ‘true’.

Noting that ‘true’ is the emotional response to a ‘fact’, it is understandable that many people ‘believe’ certain things to be ‘true’ without regard to the factual reality therein, or its lack. After all, they are merely 'feeling' an emotional response. The 'true' feeling does come through in their 'belief' in the information, but in no way validates the information as being factual.

The mark of an educated mind is its very skepticism when presented with new ‘information’. This is not a sign of negativity. This is a sign of a mature adult mind, attempting, as those yogi’s and taoists (The Complete Reality school of Taoism) of our past, to ‘know reality’ as it is manifesting. And to not get caught up in the fantasies and delusions of others. Noting that all of material reality is itself an illusion of the largest form, the educated mind struggles constantly to examine, model, and poke reality to determine what IS manifesting.

My bitch with the presenters, Project Camelot, is that they hypocritically state that their mission is to present the information that they are given by the whistleblowers and allow the viewer to make their own discernment as to its validity and reality. What Project Camelot is doing is expressed in many of the written parts of their site where they include references to ‘belief’. They repeatedly state that they (project camelot) believe that their source or whistleblower ‘believes’ their ‘testimony’, and therefore Project Camelot supports the position taken by that ‘whistleblower’.

I find their actions and proffered stance to be disingenuous. They are hypocritical at best, in that they are spending a lot of time and energy in defense of some of their ‘whistleblowers’ and the fantasies presented by them as ‘information’. That the defense of the whistleblower is being driven by personality is disturbing. Further this position has been promoting much disinformation. After all, with so many conflicts amongst their whistleblowers, not all of them can be correct.

Without taking their (Project Camelot) motives into account, and by that, I mean let us assume that they are not willing tools for disinformation, then they are at best unaware hypocrites to their own mission. Note that they NEVER defend the information itself, and rather are ALWAYS defending their sources based on personality, and not factual presentation (truth). Further, the apparent (by their actions) only criteria for them to consider someone a ‘whistleblower’ is that the person ‘believe’ their own story. All that is necessary for Project Camelot to consider someone a whistleblower and a 'true guy' is that the person present themselves such that Project Camelot 'feels' that the person believes what they are saying. Nope, no discrimination exercised. No cross checking, validation, nor even cursory background checks required at Project Camelot.

Hmmmm…so the delusional shall lead…just as is the case with the original Camelot (the whole "king" Aurthur story) which is a myth in support of the ‘divine right of kings to enslave humans’ meme. A despicable and evil meme if there ever was one….and it is all dependent on NOT being a skeptic, and simply swallowing whatever is offered on the spoon. That, for instance, someone claiming 'king ship' has 'authority' to enslave you. Hmmmm...let us all remember that the definition of 'royalty' of all kinds including 'priests' is "you work, I eat".

Thousands of years ago, the yogic and tao traditions realized that the way that the self sovereign individual needs to approach consciousness, mind, and manifesting reality is without filters and blinders. These people were good skeptics, and they have left us a whole pile of advice and methods for poking into universe to see what is actually there.

Being of the Complete Reality school of Taoism (aka science of Yoga) mind set, my approach is to gnaw on all incoming information and to deliberately seek out reasons why it is bogus. This is a very efficient method of operation as so much of what is presented these days IS bogus information, and therefore one can more quickly eliminate the bullshit, and have more time to locate what is actually manifesting. More time to actually touch reality…or get closer to that in any case.

If one takes the other approach, one spends all their time supporting bullshit delusions that others believe. And as a radical linguist I cannot pass by without noting that the word ‘believe’ itself merely means, by definition and derivation, “I wish this to be true”…..

So let the ‘synthetic beings’ come flying out of the Gulf of Aden Stargate….no, I mean it, seriously. Since if that is at all real, the skeptical mind will want details. And the skeptical mind will always follow the base dicta of life which includes: “ extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof” else they are as shit on my shoe, something to be scraped off and forgotten as it pollutes our understanding of manifesting reality. So to the good people (I am assuming) at Project Camelot (and elsewhere), be advised, if you present personalities who proffer extraordinary claims, you (they) had better provide extraordinary proof, or be prepared to have it all called BULLSHIT.

Time, Understanding, and Manipulating

January 3, 2010

Time is a label that humans have applied to the aggregate of many aspects of reality. Within the samskrta (sanskrit) based linguistic traditions which are just about half of the languages on planet earth, 'time' is actually a collection of individual aspect/attributes of the manifestation of reality. The early Greek reality descibers (philosophers) identified at least 2/two aspects of the collective we call 'time' in their discussions of chronos (measured or mechanistic time), and karios (the quality of a time/moment, the 'opportune' moment). The Taoist tradition going back to at least the 5/Five Bushel League years included 22/twenty-two identified aspects/attributes of reality that fell within the general category of 'time'. The Yogic school going back through the experimental stages of the formation of the Science of Yoga, had identified over 100/one-hundred aspect/attributes of time, though many of these also include the time-binding properties of what we call 'karma' in the collective, and karmans in the particulate.

Time, from these views of reality, is not a 'river' carrying 'events' in a stream. The alternate understanding expressed in what can be labeled as the 'yogic' understanding of reality, 'time' is but part of the 'template' through which continuous creation expresses itself. This is to say, that in the 'continuous creation of universe, including me and you and everything in between' school of reality, 'time' is but a necessary component of the basic 'infrastructure' of reality. It must also be understood that in this view, 'time' is not a separate part of reality, nor is it a 'singular' part of reality.

Make sense? Clear as brown goat butt in a howling dust storm?

Jumping Off Point....

As a point of departure for this discussion of 'time' and the techniques of its use, we begin at the beginning, or the source of time. This is a tiny spot, waaay too small to be seen by the naked human eye, even likely way too small to be seen with any of our most advanced microscopes. This tiny tiny spot is at the absolute center of the universe. That it is also at the very center of the multiverse (all of the multitude of singular central points), is best left for another discussion. This small point contains all that is Source for what we call, 'reality' or 'the material world'. This Source is actually an energetic pulse that fires off at the rate of 22/twenty-two trillion times a second (in our understanding of what a 'second' actually is in the chronos meaning).

Every single pulse, which is to say, all 22/twenty-two trillion pulses each and every second since the beginning of time, instantly travels in Non-Time/Space (aka - The Void to all the taoist/buddhists out there), to the center of all the galaxies within universe (and the multiverse....but again, for later). As there is no time in The Void, or Non-Space/Time, each of the pulses travels to the center of each of the galaxies simultaneously, and from there, also taking up no Time, each pulse spreads out to the center of each of the material bodies such as suns, and planets and stuff throughout the totality of that galaxy. It is this pulse, at the rate of 22/twenty-two trillion times a second, that 'regulates' the manifestation of time. As 'time' in the aggregate of all of its aspects/attributes is central to all conscious perception of motion, distance, and indeed, all forms of perception itself in any form of consciousness expressed in material universe, 'time' is thus the 'propellant' that causes consciousness to perceive. Stated another way just to be really confusing, without time, consciousness could not perceive any motion, any change, including the 'change' that is required within each of the senses of the body themselves. Thus 'time' as an integral aspect of perception within the consciousness manifesting in material universe, is what the pulse from the center of universe carries directly to consciousness.

Looked at yet another way in an attempt at understanding, while it takes no 'time' for each of the pulses to expand through out each universe from the initial, and central pulse point, each of these pulses is a 'carrier' of time, in all its aspects and attributes.

Yet, just to confuse the hell out of consciousness, these pulses from the center of universe, *are* consciousness itself, about to perceive itself, in the reflections of its own perception of itself as time. See...? Nothing to it...clear as the grounds at the bottom of a cup of Navy coffee? This is the whole of the duality problem, the perceiver is the perceived and vice versa. However as far as Time, its nature and manipulation are concerned, not too relevant. Stated another way, the pulse at the center of continuous creation carries directly to consciousness, the necessary creation of 'time', at a universal level. This 'pulse of universal time' is, for most of consciousness in manifesting material world, not sensed, yet it forms a 'universal platform' for all of universe. The base pulse of continuous creation is not sensed, noted, nor felt, by any (at least most), consciousness manifesting within continuous creation..

The whole of material reality is merely a giant collision of energy bouncing off itself at a huge multitude of frequencies, amplitude, and ranges. Some of these collisions of energies are extremely temporary such as radioactive decay or gamma radiation, others form standing wave patterns that persist over 'time'. Such persistent standing waves of collisions of energy include suns, solar systems, dust, dirt, humans, pigs, fishes, birds, planets, plants, pies, bacteria, and a multitude of other 'things' which all are 'alive' in the energetic sense, though some of which we consciousness-expressing-as-humans, might not recognize as being in the category of 'life'. Nonetheless, all of reality is but our perception of these energetic collisions filtered through 'time' into consciousness.

Let there be....complexity

So to be clear, such a view of universe/multiverse can be expressed as follows. In the beginning was the vibration which popped out into existence, creating itself, within itself. The vibration then bounced off the inside of itself, and collided with itself, creating duality, and perception of itself as duality. The perception of duality was so cool to the vibration-that-is-consciousness, that it sent in more pulses of itself as vibration such that there could be even more collisions of vibration-that-is-consciousness, and thus was created, continuously, and constantly, complexity.

As the complexity of the energetic collisions increased, so did the energetic density at the 'site' of the collisions, and thus 'density' was created, and perceived by vibration-as-consciousness.

As the density of the complexity of the energetic collisions increased, so did the perception of that density increase, and thus material universe was created and perceived by vibration-as-consciousnes-in-all-its-complexity. And in all of its myriad of forms of standing waves of vibration-as-consciousness.

Note now that as the yogic and tao/chan/zen understanding of universe proceeds from this point, it recognizes that, within the expression of material universe, *most* of the standing-waves-of-energetic-vibration will become 'trapped' in the perception of material universe via aspect/attributes of 'time', and thus will these standing-waves-of-consciousness-as-energetic-collisions come to think of 'themselves' as 'separate beings'. It is thus that greater levels of expression of both duality, and complexity begin to increase. As well as spawning the creation of both psychiatrists, and lawyers. But again, for another discussion.

Of course, as soon as the 'separate' perception arises within these standing waves of energy colliding with itself, there naturally arises the perception of 'space', which is to say, the 'place' where 'separation' may be expressed. Usually as the 'distance' between the perceiver and the perceived. All perfectly perceptually clear so far?

That the rate of the pulses from the center of the universe is at 22/twenty-two million times a second naturally allows for the expression of reality to include everything from this level (22TrillionPerSecond) through all other permutations both actual and perceptual to consciousness (human and other). Thus it can be seen that complexity is on an order where numbers simply make no sense and expressions of the pulse become easier to discuss at the more vague, but also more encompassing level of linguistic understandings. As an instance, the yogic study of reality has identified 66/sixty-six thousand aspects of the pulse that affect our 'material world' perception of reality. These 66/sixty-six thousand aspect/attributes also act combinorically to form a huge level of complexity that perhaps *may* be enumerated, but to what point? After all in combination the aspect/attribute complexity would begin with 66,000 times 65,999 times 65,998 times 65,997 and so on down to 'times 1'...so a whole lot of 'times' (multiplication) involved.

So, to be thoroughly confusing, let's start with graphics.

It can be seen from the crude layout above that 'time' can be considered easily as an expression of the level of vibration being 'perceived' or 'sensed'. Now, since the senses are themselves but a function of the vibrations which form them, it is not possible for the senses to sense at the rate of pulse that creates them. In other words, the complexity of human biologic activity, being regulated by the expression at the electro-chemical level of material reality can only perceive, without aid or augmentation, at a level below its own rate of operation. So biology scientists are probably correct in their thinking that the human mind receives some 5/five million sensory inputs per second, and perhaps processes directly something like 5/billion of those sensory inputs at the biological level in a span of 24 hours.

Due to the senses being formed from complex collisions of energies, just as is the brain, and all matter, the senses will never be able to provide human consciousness with perception at the level of the base rates of pulse, or 22/twenty two trillion times a second. Indeed, there are likely actual 'physical' limits on perception at a base vibratory level for 'human consciousness' itself that likely forms the absolute limit of our ability to perceive the energetic vibrations that are our bodies and minds continuously creating themselves around this base rate vibration and its multiplicity of collisions which form our perceived material universe. Make sense?

So a static view of perception by consciousness, of time, and thus itself, can be summarized crudely in the chart below.

From this energetic collision basis for reality, and for the expression that is consciousness at all levels, including humans, it can be understood that various 'higher' levels of vibration exist within the complexity of reality. Some of these levels are so 'high' in vibration as to form a 'perceptual barrier' to our consciousness even when augmented by our material world instrumentation. Of course this is also true of vibratory levels so low (once every so many tens of trillions of seconds/hours/days/years/centuries) that humans are also not able to directly perceive these vibrational changes. This 'perceptual barrier' on both sides of the vibration frequency equation forms what consciousness-as-vibration-collision-thinking-itself-to-be-human senses as the 'material universe'.

It can also be inferred from this understanding of universe, that such efforts at 'colliding particles' as in the LHC at Cern in an attempt to 'capture' (or perceive) the sub atomic particles postulated are actually attempts to quantify the actual vibration levels of manifesting universe. In the yogic understanding, the scientists who are rushing all these particles at each other are wasting their time as they will ultimately end up with yet another description of the 66/sixty-six thousand aspects of the collision of energies that we call manifesting reality. And note that they whole of reality is NOT particles, sub-atomic or other, and is actually the collision of energies at levels of complexity so dense as to 'trick' the conscious mind (at least humans) into thinking (at 30 to 60 times a second) that 'reality' is 'solid' or 'material'.

Complexity, thinking itself human...

In the regard of 'tricking' human consciousness into thinking 'reality' is solid, the continuous creation that is universe has an advantage in that it is also forming the very 'material' through which consciousness 'senses' reality. Neat trick...use vibrations, pretending to be solid, manifesting as nerves, and other senses and a brain within a universe of vibration pretending to be 'solid'...so of course the senses will return (to consciousness) the 'appropriate' response from the 'solids' out-and-about in universe.

Once there is an sufficient level of complexity of vibrations within continuous creation, the notion of 'time' does come across to consciousness, but the perception of 'time' is bound by the nature of the being (creature/body) actually doing the sensing. The more complex the manifestation of consciousness as a material being, the 'higher' the level of ability to both 'sense' and 'interact' with the 'time' aspects of continuous creation. It can readily be seen that complexity, in an example, at the level of an earth worm will necessarily experience creation and thus time differently from the complexity of other creatures, including humans. As an aside, humans should also understand that just as we are 'higher' in complexity of experience of continuous creation than earth worms, logically there are probably much higher levels of complexity than ourselves also expressing in universe. And by extension, these higher level of complexity of vibration creatures/beings, would have a much higher or more refined ability to both sense, and interact with the time aspect (component) of continuous creation.

...decides to change things

Humans perceive at (more or less) a rate of about 30 to 60 'frames' per second. This rate has been established over centuries, and forms the basis for the 'moving picture' or video business. The frame rate of 30 to 60 is the result of the aggregation of several billion sensory inputs. Most, apparently, of the experience of manifesting continuous creation is not directly perceived by human consciousness. In fact, the ability to 'perceive' more and more of the vibrations of continuous creation beyond the limitations of the human body's senses, forms the actual goal of of the yogic and martial art traditions. Within these traditions, getting closer to the 'source' is not a vague statement of religious intent, but rather an actual goal within the awareness of perception of manifesting reality. And, frequently, an achieved goal. Most martial artists and meditators will confirm that they have encountered 'times' during which the experience of the quality of the 'time' was decidedly different than 'ordinary time'.

This effect has been noted under many names, and is frequently discussed in the 'peak performance' genre of literature.

However, the concepts usually expressed about 'qualitatively different experiences of time' within the sports/body world are usually focused on the ability to manipulate oneself into that peak performance zone which also seems to have a different feeling of time as it progresses. Within the meditation community, the altered perception of time state is the goal itself.

Distinctly separating meditation from *any* form of 'contemplation' in which a linguistic or image is attempted to be maintained in the mind, and referring in the main to those forms of meditation typified by yogic, taoist, chan/zen practices, wherein the levels of vibratory consciousness are traversed/explored, it is worth noting that the meditation source material most frequently cites the 'time' quality aspect as both a primary, and the first of the 'extra sensory' abilities to develop. This new knowledge, which is really just an active appreciation of the experience of the variance in the quality of time, is primary as it continues to be refined through out the whole of the meditation experience. That it is also the first of these 'extra sensory' abilities also fits as the 'time' component of continuous creation is pulse based, therefore to 'climb out' of the limitations of your base form requires first the ability to be aware of more of the permutations of the base pulse than before.

While it can be legitimately argued, that consciousness, being a function of the base pulse of the universe/multiverse, can thus never 'know itself' truly, and will always be limited by its level of expressing vibratory frequency, nonetheless, we practically need to keep site of the huuuuuuge level of difference between 30 to 60 frames of perception a second, and 22 trillion pulses per second. So we it is a long way to the top, if you want to meditatively grow in this universe.

Energetic states

It can be understood that if humans can experience different qualities of time, through any method including pineal gland affective drugs, then demonstrably 2/two conclusions about the fundamental nature of universe can be derived. The first is that human consciousness is naturally a multiple state 'thing'. Second, that 'time' has 'qualities' other than mere measurement which can be perceived directly by consciousness, ergo, 'temporal quality variance' is an integral part of 'time' itself, and thus is a necessary component of universe. It is outside the scope of this discourse to really explore how universe/multiverse is manifesting, but it is critical to note that the concept of 'variance' in vibrational awareness is at the core of all of the extra-ordinary, or extra-sensory experiences of human consciousness.

So we have the pulse...so what?

Well, the pulse, which delivers both time and consciousness, is also the source for the more mundane concept energy in all its possible forms, including 'free energy', or 'zero point energy'....remember where we began our point of departure....

This is a tiny spot, waaay too small to be seen by the naked human eye, even likely way too small to be seen with any of our most advanced microscopes. This tiny tiny spot is at the absolute center of the universe.

This 'tiny spot' is the 'zero point' that is at the center of humanity's quest for hot food, hot rides, a hot shower, and ultimately... 'life, universe, and everything'.

Free Time Energy
In the 'pulse' model of reality explored in this essay, it can be surmised that the idea of 'free energy' is dependent upon a very good understanding of time, and how it works, as well as the complexity of its nature. Time, being a core aspect of the manifestation of continuous creation, is therefore pretty damn central to the idea of 'extracting' or 'converting' any level of the universal pulse to any other level, say to the grosser forms of matter including electric energy.

To model any free energy devices around the understanding that time is a river or tunnel through which events express will necessarily limit such devices to only the crudest level of expression. The greater the understanding of the complexities of time (or rather temporal expression within continuous creation), the 'higher' the level of the pulse of continuous creation will be able to be 'tapped'. So for a speculator interested in gambling resources on the surging plethora of free energy devices, look to the designer/creators understanding of time as a clue as to how 'real' the potential.

The use of 'time' or 'temporal expression templates' as a guide in free energy research is not the only way in which human consciousness can make use of the pulse. In any, and likely, every, successful meditation experience is a temporal relationship change. These are cumulative. They are also useful. As an instance, natural, and trained martial artists use altered states of time perception in their arts. They will change their personal relationship with the temporal template expression for the duration of their need, and thus the frequent reports of 'super human' or 'extra ordinary states/feats' associated with these forms of human artistry. But humans are not limited in their hyper time experience to just beating each other up. As noted the center of zen/chan/yogic meditation is reaching into the 'void'. By harmonizing their vibratory states and through complex manipulations of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, adepts at these practices can achieve remarkable extra ordinary relationships to the pulse, and therefore necessarily, to time.

Almost all humans have experienced altered temporal states. Usually it happens just before our butts hit the ground in a fall.

Motion, by which we usually judge the chronos of time, seems to 'stand still' or go into 'slow motion'. Then the big kaaaawhump!, and you are back to 'normal' temporal reality. Of course the same thing happens in car wrecks, the last actions in suicide (no, it is never 'quick'), and in religious trances of all kinds. One of the most frequently noted statements from channellers is that their experience of time altered. They were, for a time, out side of their normal perception of time.

Time Travel Tango

Does the pulse, delivering time in various forms as part of the continuous creation of universe/multiverse, do away with the idea of time travel? No. At least not conceptually. In some respects this understanding of manifesting reality actually makes it easier to understand the idea of 'travel' within the 'physical material universe' as being simpler and much more energy efficient when done 'out of phase' or 'out of space/time'. In this understanding of the vibratory nature of reality, to travel from between any points in the universe it is only necessary to temporarily stop your connection to the pulse of creation, and then to 'dial in' the location desired. Then, reconnect to the pulse, and there you are, just where you wanted to be. While not connected to the pulse, at least at the usual level (no need to go into that here, but basically you never totally cease connection, rather you just block certain vibratory levels of the reality template expression), you are necessarily outside your normal time reference, and thus, are in 'no time' relative to your usual state of being. The traveler is quite actually, out of phase in the fields and frequency meaning of the phrase. As with the time component, the location component (of your consciousness relative to the rest of universe), is merely a matter of which part of the reality template is expressing around you. So, out side of your usual time reference due to a slight vibratory state change, you also change which part of the template you wish to step back through, and when the connections to the totality of the pulse are un-blocked, you 'pop' into the location desired by having made your consciousness (and body presumably) part of the local template expression. Does that make sense? Pop slightly out of phase with current temporal pulses to enter into 'no-time/no-space' and then dial your new pop out spot in universe. Yet another way to think of it is that, in essence, travel through no space is accomplished by 'telling universe' just where you want your personal 'continuous creation template' to exist. Now that is a real 'travel channel'.

Of course, it will be recognized that such a form of travel can just as 'easily' be applied to the time part of the expressing reality template, and thus if you knew *all* of the desired temporal aspects of the template, then you could 'time travel'. Though of course, this travel would also be accomplished outside of space/time continuum due to a vibrational state change. It would also be recognized that necessarily once such a time travel had been accomplished, that the local reality template expression *could not*, and *can not* ever be the same. Further, it can also be seen that such time 'travel' also brings about logical issues of exiting even one's own time 'cleanly', and that the reality template alteration instantly brings forth the issue of, indeed, necessity for, the multiverse to exist. Just to handle the mess that all the time traveling nutjobs will make of things.

The math's involved from this view obviously would contain both special, and general relativity as sub sets expressing a limited view of the nature of continuous creation. It can also be inferred that this view of material universe does not require the 'constants' so readily employed in the 'rigid matter' model of academia. So gone would be a need for Plank, et al, as constancy is not a requirement of the vibrational model. It can also be noted that, language aside, many of the concepts here, are basically expressing (and encompassing) string theory as a sub set. In fact, this larger model would support quanta string mechanics as a practical application in the form of 'location' travel. Noting of course, that in a vibrational view of material universe, terms such as 'location', and even 'travel' begin to take on entirely new surrounding contexts.

Continuous creation nature of reality brings with it certain entanglements when using the out of phase, or 'no-time/no-space' travel method. Such entanglements are more complex with the 'time' type of travel, as opposed to the 'physical' location type of travel. Nonetheless, both types of 'travel' of the individual consciousness require that certain levels of the pulse be used as siting beams in order that personal, as well as universal, continuity be maintained. And complexity, that above all must be continued, as it is the continuous growth in complexity that is both the core and the reason for continuous creation that is material universe.

Conclusion: Pending manifestation....

Just a bit of noodling about time, and pulses (not legumes)....more later as circumstances permit. Basically a part 2 and 3 are planned.

Why 22/twenty-two trillion pulses per second? Who can say ? But what is interesting is that the number 2.2/two-point-two billion is the yogic understanding of the maximal number of heartbeats allocated to each human life...that yields nearly 70 years. Hmmmmm. Fractals abound at all levels in continuous creation. Time, pun intended, to teach the heart to beat slow, and consciousness to appreciate each and every one. Stretch them waaaaayyyy out....

Note also that 22 in the 'long base' of the sun spot cycle (each half of cycle determined by polarity of sun is 11 years).

22 is numerologically the number of 'mastery' with 11 being the number of 'achieved spirituality'...what the masons call 'saint status'.

Disclaimer: Please note that i did not invent the concepts discussed here, merely are attempting (likely badly) their explanation. I may bring some additional insights, perhaps...but the basic work has been told through The Science of Yoga (aka the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali), as well as the Collected Works of the Complete Reality School of Taoism (aka - the 'inner work books', or 'nei kung kuda'). There are probably other descriptions of these concepts out-and-about as the information pre-dates the last great cataclysm of 11 thousand and some years ago. There are hints within various literatures of the sanskrtta (sanskrit) language group in the form of astronomic alignments, that this vibratory view of material universe is actually the product of thinkers of a grand and global civilization of over 200 thousand years ago.

Addendum:

Just to answer the question here so as not to have to repeat it in multiple emails.

I think David Wilcock is wrong about the 'pyramid' or tetrahedron which is shown floating over Moscow in the video's on YouTube. David Wilcock, as i understand his argument, is proposing that the tetrahedron is a hologram, or holographic projection. At least within the context of the video's available, there is no evidence that this rotating tetrahedron is a hologram, or projection of any form using any detectable form of visible or invisible light. The reason that no evidence exists within the video is that there is no source beam. In all forms of holographic projection of any kind, there is a source beam of a higher intensity energy that basically 'breaks down' (at least energetically) into the 'visible light hologram'. Therefore all holograms, or projections of them, require a higher intensity degrading into lower intensity to exist. The net energy loss across the holographic projection cannot exceed the highest level of energy beamed out, so to speak. Mathematically therefore, in order for the rotating tetrahedron to be a holographic projection, the net total amount of light apparent from the projected form would have to start out from at least one source at a higher, and therefore detectable on video image, level of energy. Don't believe it? Well, go look at any holographic projection actually being filmed/video'ed (not the CGI representations of a hologram, but the real thing). You will see instantly that source energy beams are a necessary part of the viewing experience.

In my analysis (dinking around) with the video's of the tetrahedron over Moscova, i can find no source beam, even at much smaller, and integrated levels. While it is possible to combine energy streams to create the net holographic projection, these still must be at the sum total (or greater) of the light levels expressed within the projection, and therefore would also be detectable within the video. There are no indications of any video tampering either (not that i am an expert, but nothing so jumps out in the pixels, nor raw data stream). It is worth noting that the night video is cleaner and has the better data from which to do internal comparisons on light levels from ambient to reflected object. Also it needs to be said that the day shots of the tetrahedron were 'fuzzed' at the edges, which may indicate an alteration of the vibratory levels of the local reality where the tetrahedron was appearing, but again, there is no detectable 'source' for the fuzzing. Even if this were, for the sake of speculation, an x-ray projected hologram, or even the IUV (intensified ultra violet light that brought about the name 'blue beam'), where visible light were not expected, a source beam would still likely be detectable as there would be atmospheric distortion all along the source beam path. So, don't quite know what to make of the tetrahedron yet, still noodling on it, but don't think i can find any supporting evidence for it being a holographic projection as we understand the term.

13 Year old boy Has Time Machine plan that works

iReport —
One 13 year old boy , named Gentill Abdulla, has said that he has a time machine plan that is going to work. I have personally met him and he is an extremely bright boy. Gentill says that his ingenious plans can allow time travel to be possible. He told me " I have done a lot of research on the areas of black holes, time travel, wormholes, magnetism, light, and most importantly gravity. I have devised an experiment that if done correctly could allow time travel . Here is the theory. If you had magnets in front of each other and had one beam of blue light that had been traveling for thousands of years and put that in the middle of these two magnets then turned on lasers on each magnet , and the side they are pointing makes the magnets face each other, and when the magnets are heated have eight smaller magnets on each magnet and make those magnets so that they would repel the big magnet. Then move all these magnets toward the plastic magnet so it will compress it on all sides so it will become smaller than it's Schwarzschild radius. After this is done the magnets both should become black holes.

Since they are facing each other their gravities will act and join these black holes together. There will still be a singularity but it will be magnetic. Now you make a device, that I have also made, that will split the singularity into a ring.This device that will make a hole in the singularity. Since the string is no longer there the magnets will expand enough to make the singularity into ta ring. You will know if it works because you will be able to see the other side of the hole from the entrance. Since the beam of light is old and the light beam is what is creating the effect you will be able to go back to when that beam of light was first made.So through this it will make a traversable wormhole. The negative energy really won't be negative energy because since the smaller magnets are repelling the singularity it will push it outward in the opposite way or just rotate the 2 magnets from the begining so you don't have that problem.

Contact me at g_mobster2@yahoo.com" he has also told me that he has all the paperwork and schematics with him at all times. Gentill says that he is working on a new Grand unification theory and perpetual motion machine.

Does Time Slow Down, or Speed Up in a Crisis?

Does Time Slow Down, or Speed Up in a Crisis?
2009 12 19
By Luke McKinney | TheDailyGalaxy

Scientists are asking if we can turbocharge our time perception. In The Matrix, hero Neo wins his battles when time slows in the simulated world. In our real world, accident victims often report a similar slowing of time as they slip unavoidably towards disaster. We've all heard stories of people seeing things happening in bullet time or reviewing their entire about-to-end lives, but if we could toggle this tachypsychian switch by choice it'd be a real-life superpower.

The first question is “Can our consciousness affect our awareness of time?”, which is a tautological yes – of course our ability to be aware of things affects our awareness of things. The fantastically named Professor Eagleman is going further: he wants to find out if time really does slow down for subjects, no matter how many people he has to strap into experimental hardware and hurl off buildings.

The hardware is a “perceptual chronometer”, an LED screen whose patter flickers slightly too fast to make out – it hops between patterns like “3” and “E” but looks like “8” to anyone operating at regular human speed. The “hurling off buildings” bit is SCAD, Suspended Air Catch Device, an activity which berates bungee jumping as wimpy because the latter allows people to slow down. In SCAD jumps you fall off a shaky ledge thirty meters up and fall full speed into a net.

Unfortunately the results are against creating the Flash anytime soon: while test subjects did recall the fall taking longer than it actually did, none could perceive the changing pattern on the watch. This would indicate that the effect is an artifact of memory – the brain writing more data more powerfully than normal, so the recollection seems to last longer than non-traumatic events. The problem is that this temporal effect is the ultimate in subjective data – literally so, as the brain often thinks it's the last thing it'll experience. So when you remember things happening in slow motion, it's the remembering that provided that – not the original event.

Of course there are a thousand and one other factors which could influence this experiment – maybe the brain can deal with data faster, but the frame-rate from the eye doesn't increase. Perhaps the subjects were simply too scared. Or it could be that SCAD just isn't the right way to trigger the temporal boost (in which case God help Eagleman's next victims). There have been cases of people perceiving time differently under cranial magnetic stimulation, or the effect of tumors, but so far they've all resulted in slowing down or simply breaking previously observed effects – it seems that overclocking ourselves isn't an option yet.

Christopher Isherwood, Time Loops, and Ghosts

By Lee Prosser

In 1969, I was preparing to take a final draft physical and be inducted into the Vietnam War. At one point, I had considered the war situation as honorable, but upon analysis I realized and accepted the simple fact that the Vietnam War was just another money war and not a war being fought for anybody's freedom. Much later, I would not be drafted due to a problem with my hearing. That kept me out of the war, but that is another story, and this story is about Christopher Isherwood, time loops, and ghosts. Ghostly time loops.

I had known novelist Christopher Isherwood since I was fourteen years old, first through correspondence, then in person while living at Santa Monica Canyon, California during the 1960s.

Now, when I think of 1969, I think of the evening which I spent with Isherwood at a restaurant and a walk on the Santa Monica pier. I am outside the scene but become part of the scene when I merge with it. This is a technique any person can learn, if they are willing to meditate and concentrate. In fact, most people who can visualize a shape or a color are to some degree clairvoyant. Practice develops that. Clairvoyance and its forms are available to any person who wishes to develop them.

As to scenes in the mind, the process of recall makes them clear, and visible. So it is with time loops.

Time loops are what I believe can and do happen to people. Your recall merges you with the images. I also believe time loops can account for the actual physical disappearance of people. The wish to be part of the time loop becomes so overpoweringly strong that the body can and will vanish into that time loop. I also believe that time loop can be of a personal making or borrowed from another source.

Now, as to the time loop with Christopher Isherwood. I vividly recall eating the fish dinner he had ordered for us. I recall the conversation:

"Lee, are you afraid to go to war?"

"No, Chris, I'm not. I'm afraid I might die for something I don't believe in."

"You have your writing and your music, have you considered going elsewhere?"

"No."

Isherwood savored the fish dinner, and there was quietness. Then he said: "Please follow your writing. That is your true path. Traveling with a band will take you down a path of broken dreams, and playing in a band is not that good. Think about it."

I smiled. "I'll be around when the last piano note plays and the last bongo note sounds."

"Yes, yes, I know you will."

We laughed.

"Please follow your writing, Lee. That is your true path, your gift."

And so I did. In this time loop, I meditate and I am there with Isherwood at the table in the restaurant and I see everything around me in crystal clear clarity. I can taste, smell, feel, touch all objects. The time loop is authentic. My presence in the time loop is authentic. I am a ghost in a paranormal scene visiting a living ghost from the past... my ghost becomes one with my ghost.

Consider, what if one selects a time loop, concentrates hard enough, and goes back to it permanently. One can then alter the future because one is from the future and to voluntarily give up that future is to alter the past by making the past your new present. What choices would you make then, given that opportunity? What would you change?
What would you leave the same? What would you do with your new life?

Think on it. Reflect. Being a ghost is more than being a ghost. There are many levels of reality in and on the Inner Planes. Which one would you select in your personal time loop? Time travel as a ghost and meet your own ghost. Time travel as a ghost and appear before the living! To return, or not to return.

Time loops. Consider them carefully. Consider what can happen. Do that which you will, and select that which you wish.

There is no heaven and there is no hell, only continuity. The soul is immortal. The past is always present.

Vision of the Book of Light

2009-04-02T12:23:00.000-07:00

This is What I SAW in My Vision of the Book of Light Last Week. Real Interesting Stuff. Even has aliens in it...

Dear Friends and Sister: A week ago, on Monday March 23, I had this Vision. It was in a Dream but it was Still A Vision. The Biggest and Longest One I've Ever Had.

In this Vision, I was in this neutral place, like in the middle of a sky. The God of the Souled was a little above me and He held this big, clean Book in His Hands. It was bound in a beige cover and had gold leaf on it but it had no title. The Book opened up and loose Pages of Pure Light started to fly out of it and fall towards me and as each Page of Light fell in front of me, I could see Writing in the Ancient Language and there were crytogram-type words that automatically showed me a holographic pictogram.

My Mind was Directly Connected to God's Mind. There were no emotions, only Intellect. I was there a Very Long Time because there were thousand and thousand of pages I was downloading into my Mind. It was an Incredible Book because of all the information and because it was so elegant and beautiful while it told a very long, dark tale.

After each page went by my face to read, it fell into a perfect stack of Light around my knees in this place of no space but seemed like sky.

God had white hair and a white beard. I've seen Him BEfore as a White Light you can't see through or one time, I was called to this place and he was having 'tea' with some Advanced Souls and He was wearing something like a business suit. These Visions happened years ago and they all had a 'Meaning' but this Vision was a BIG ONE. All Real, too.

As you many of you know, I've been researching human sacrifice and all the things related to it. Well I got my answers to this plus some other answers to other questions I couldn't find answers to and I've been looking for a long time. A real long time.

The Book was more than a history of human sacrifice on this planet. It was a History of Our Race (humanoid Souled). I always KNEW that we came from somewhere else and not from some germ or fungus on a space rock that hit this planet. I KNOW a lot of Stuff! A lot of it comes from my 'after death' experience in 1999 where I went on a Dantean Journey for a very long time and Observed how it all works in the world and the ethereal worlds. I had access to the Akashic Library and I read my ass off! I also went out and interviewed over 80,000 Souled persons in New Heaven when I was there and collected verbal histories of the earth plus verbal histories of other worlds. Way later, I made a Deal With God to come back here to this Reality and try to help people in these Last Days. And I Have.

THIS IS A LIVING MIRACLE (Best Word for It) because I always died on August 29, 1999 on the other cycles of the time-loop and here I am still living almost ten years later. All of This is NEW to ME because I never got this far...Every day I Wake UP, I realize I wasn't supposed to be here and this Changes the Energy of this last part of the last cycle of the time-loop.

So I've had a lot of questions for a long time I couldn't get answered, including, "WHERE DO WE ORIGINALLY COME FROM?" I could never find this out. I've read the stuff on the internet but my Intuition told me these histories are wrong, that there's an element of Truth but not close. The Histories and other related books of this world and this organization called 'The Intergalactic Federation' (best translation I can translate it to) were all missing. I remember pondering on the spaces on the shelves where the books were supposed to be. I argued many times with those Librarians. They were just doing their job.

Now I KNOW Where We Come From. It's two galaxies away in a far-out place that no one could find unless they had Mystical Help. I mean, it's in some kind of galactic cul-de-sac and extremely well-hidden at the end of a dark space alley. There's a brown, dead planet nearby and it covers any view of this planet from any observable place.

We come from an Emerald Planet, mostly mountainous but no snow caps as the weather is always 'Perfect'. About 72 degrees most of the time and if the temperature drops, it only drops about one or two degrees.

There are two small suns but because our Ancestors lived by this Great Lake in the middle of some of these mountains, the lake would reflect the larger sun making it look like three suns in a mirror sky. It's So Beautiful. I SAW IT as I 'Read' the Book.

Our Race was designed to Create. Our God, the God of the Souled, Designed Our Ancestors to be Pure Artists. The planet was to be our Artist Colony. We were to be left alone from the other beings living in the 'universe' (I don't believe the universe is as big as they say because it's all a hologram and the further you look out into space, the grainer the picture through the telescope just like how a hologram works). We were Our God's 'Special Project'. We were His 'Special Project' alright. Gods know all kinds of things, including the Future. He KNEW What Was Going to Happen to Our Ancestors and He Let It Happen for Scientific and Spiritual Learning, the Bitter Spiritual Learning.

The planet we're from is full of this rare mineral and its 'cousin', the rarest metal in the 'universe'. The mineral is found on the outside of this metal and both are essential to other humanoids' technologies. I was SHOWN What Both Substances Can Do. They're used with lasers to make unpenetrable shields to keep the 'dragos' out of their worlds. The 'dragos' are the serpent race that I've written about. They come from the Alpha Draconis galaxy. They are the creatures of the Snake God, Set-an.

We are all extensions of the god who Creates us. Us Souled have the White Light of the God of the Light. Those created by the god of darkness are dark creatures. They have dark light and because they vibrate on low frequencies, they can not create their own fuel/food. Thus, they must hunt Souled humanoids through out the galaxies for 'food' (races like us).

There are many other races out in the few galaxies of the hologram. Some of the humanoid races have six fingers and toes and some have seven fingers and toes. They were very advanced technologically but they had serpent race problems. The Draconian serpents went from world to world in their search for food. Yes, they can eat the Light of Souled Animals, but their preference of food is Us, humanoids. They were like locusts back then. The serps (serpent race) went from humanoid world to humanoid world, either by war or just takeover and basically ate all the Souled humanoids. They not only steal Light (Prana, Chi), but ate the people. Literally. If you've read my 'Raining Blood Over the Temple of Set' article, you will know that all this phenomena goes very deep.

So the technologically advanced humaiod Souled Alien 'Soul' Brothers had a problem with serps. It became a war and our 'Souled' Alien Brothers needed an edge. They needed the mineral and metal from our Original World. The real magick stuff. This stuff is so rare that if a woman's handful is found on a planet, it's a bonanza. Our Original World was made of this God Stuff.

No one knew of our Emerald Planet. Like I said, it was really hidden. Some of the advanced humanoids on other planets in various galaxies had oracles, highly evolved Spiritual Persons who resided in special, holy places or temples. This one group (the seven-fingered and toes group) had an Evolved Oracle System and at the top was the High Oracle, a Female. Desperate to get these Special Mineral and Metal, they had her scry. This is where it gets interesting.

She found our hidden planet and when she did, she was warned not to disclose it because it would be opening a box of evil. Sick of a long, brutal war and worried that the serpent race would eventually get through their fortresses, plus a host of other reasons, she told Loran (my arch nemesis) the Top Leader about Our Ancestors' Emerald Planet and where it was at.

She also told Loran that there were 340 humaniods living there, mostly adults because Our Ancestors lived very long lives and didn't Conceive children very often. Both She and Loran knew that the mineral and metal wasn't available to them because the planet was inhabited and theft or sale of the God Stuff was forbidden by inter-galactic laws, particularly because The Ancestors were still in a primitive state, although they were advancing fast because they were Creators or Great Artists.

A note about Loran. I hate this 'Souled' Alien Brother. I've hated him for a long time. It didn't surprise me at all that his name came up in this Holy Book that the God of the Light Showed Me and that I 'Read'. My Intuition told me for a very long time he was involved in 'The Betrayal' and that it was dirtier than I knew but couldn't find out. When I was in New Heaven, I used to stalk him so I could harass him and denounce him publically. Back then, I was angry with him and the other 'leaders' of the Inter-Galactic Federation for not helping us with the time-loop and the hidden evil problem we've suffered from for a long, long time. Now I'm pissed off because I know how deep this goes. As for harassing this alien asshole, well I spent a lot of time on house arrest because I harassed and denounced him publically (plus stalking).

Loran broke Laws, physical and Spiritual. Anxious to get his hands on the valuable mineral and metal, but not wanting to murder The Ancestors, he removed Our Ancestors at night and put them on this planet, thinking that the wild animals would kill The Ancestors. And I was shown this, too. I SAW The Ancestors being eaten by these giant birds and tigers. When over half of The Ancestors were eaten or died, they had this council meeting and decided to break off in groups and go in different directions. Many more would die but they clung on to Life here.

The Ancestors wouldn't die; conveniently disappear for Loran and his group. They had told the other Souled Alien Groups that the planet was uninhabited and thus mining could begin. Loran and the others who Betrayed Us became very famous and more powerful. Worse, they were proclaimed heroes.

Our Ancestors continued to survive (barely) and this was a problem for Loran and his group. See, we legally own all that mineral and metal because it's our Legacy. This is where Our Ancestors were to live. But the Emerald Planet is toxic now from all the mining. They trashed the planet. More, we are a legal and Spiritual problem for our Souled Brothers who Sold Us Out because we own it all. It is Our Mineral and Metal that Saved the Rest of the Humanoids (except for four planets). It is Our Mineral and Metal that was used in Defense and for their Shields and they Shielded many, many worlds with it. More, they've been living very long lives because of the Mineral. They rarely die. They owe these long lives to us. We Legally and Spiritually Have a Right to Possess All They Own and They KNOW IT.

They knew this back then, too, so they wanted to get rid of what was left of Our Ancestors. About this time, there was a big battle in space and the serpent race's ships were chased to Earth. To keep the serpent race imprisoned here, the Alien Souled Brothers blew up a small planet to form the van Allen belt. That is WHY any real space travel from this earth is impossible. Then they blew up a bigger planet to form the asteroid belt around our solar system. Then they blew up anything the serpent race could use to escape this world including star gates, worm holes, portals to most dimensions and other things. I kind of knew most of this stuff before but I SAW it in all Detail.

Imprisoning the serpents on this planet served two purposes for Loran and the other politicians. They knew that the serpents would find The Remaining Ancestors (they're predators of the Souled and smell/feel Light and Humanoid Blood) and kill them, thus no one would have a Right to the Wealth of the Mineral and Metal from the Emerald Planet plus after the serpents ate us (We Are Our Ancestors), the serpent race would die from lack of food. Two problems solved.

But the serpent race lost most of their technology in the battle before they were chased here and since they are hive non-beings (dark lights, creations of the dark god), they didn't have access to design plans because they were kept at headquarters in the Alpha Draconis galaxy. The serpents also didn't know where the metals were that they needed plus they needed miners because they had always used slaves to mine for them in other worlds. I should point out here that the serpent race can't use the Valuable Mineral and Metal from Our Original Planet. If they come near it, it automatically kills them. The Mineral and Metal gives off Excessively Strong Photon Light. And Our Ancestors had to be secretly killed for that. Loran and his bunch got greedy and were arrogant to start with. They self-corrupted. They didn't need Set-an as they did it themselves. There is more than one kind of evil and many times, it originates within ourselves.

For some reason, the serpents we were locked here with, figured it out not to eat all of us, so they decided to 'farm' us and to do this secretly. The Book of Light showed me how they've been doing this since the beginning.

Because the 'herd' was so small and because we didn't reproduce very fast, the serps tinkered with our DNA. They stole female Ancestors and accelerated their fertility. What the serpent race didn't understand was that Our Ancestors weren't really that horny. When they figured it out, the serpent race accelerated our libido through DNA genetic splicing and got Our Ancestors horny and that's WHY we're such a horny bunch. They did all kinds of experiments on Our Ancestors and their Children.

Then the serpents had another problem. They needed technology to get off this planet. They hate it here. They don't like the climate and they want to get home. But without designs, blueprints and imagination (we have it, they don't), they knew they'd never get off this planet. They knew we were a Creative Bunch and knew they would have to mine our intellect and Creativity to get the technology they needed. So they would have to find a way to use us (while feeding off us) so they could get the technology they needed.

Thus more experiments which gradually led to them putting their evil seed in us.

During this Time, the 'Head Priestess' who told about Our Original Planet started to go mad. She SAW What Was Going to Happen. A dark genie had been let out of the bottle and an evil chain reaction had begun. The Book didn't Say what happened to her but I suspect she's either in an isolated padded cell somewhere or Loran finally got his hands dirty murdering her.

Planet Earth has been dark since Our Ancestors and the Snake People had to live together. It's a Prison for them and it's a prison for us. But Snakes have been ruling the planet since they got here.

When they found that they were imprisoned, they prayed to their god Set-an to make this World evil. If he would do this, they would offer up sacrifices to him (us). That's how far human sacrifice goes back in our history. He found this pleasing so he's been helping his dark creations during their stay here.

And it's been a long stay, too. A real long one. When the serps came here, they thought they'd be off this planet in about 20,000 years. That's how long they thought it would take to get The Ancestors and Their Children evolved enough to create the technology the serps needed. But there were a lot of fuckups, delays and problems with this planet with natural disasters plus the Souled humanoid 'herd' (Us) were almost wiped out several times from disease, these natural disasters and other calamities. When this happened, the serps had to rebuild the 'herd' plus evolve them again. And this time, they tinkered with our DNA, doing all kinds of experiments to accelerate us into the model they wanted us to become so we would help them get off this planet.

Another problem the serps had was that Our Ancestors no longer lived long lives like they did on the Emerald Planet. The Mineral and Metal was what gave them long lives like it's giving our 'Souled' alien brothers now. I wondered how Loran and the other could live that long but I could never find the Answer. The Book Showed Me This Answer.

Our Ancestors and their Generations also had short lives because of DNA tinkering by the serpents. After we reach Our Prime, we are no longer valuable to them because our Light has matured and thus we are no longer tasty for the vampiric, parasitic serpent race to eat. The serpent race views this world as theirs and their Master's (their psychopathic god Set-an) and they believe that after we reach a certain age, we are wasting their resources of water and the food we eat.

Well things kept going awry for the serpent race on this planet. They'd get real close to getting the technology they needed to get off this planet but there would be super volcano or a super earthquake or something and then they would find themselves back at zero.

Then they ran out of time. The earth is destined to flip into the middle of the galaxy into the Photon Light Belt in 2012. Photon Light turns these creatures into toast. Instantaneous Death for Them. But although they almost had the technology right, it wasn't ready and they were going to die.

To save his pet snakes, Set-an put the earth and this part of the galaxy in a time-loop, and sent time back to about 14,000 B.C. I always KNEW This but now it's been confirmed. Because of my deep Anarchist hatred for them, time-loops are my speciality and I've been researching them for a long, long time.

This is HOW the time-loop began and we're in the end of the 133 cycle of this time-loop. This is also why the hologram is falling apart. The cycles of the time-loop have dug energy grooves into the time-line and they have created unstable energy - volatile energy - and it's started to melt everything.

The gods and their helpers, these beings that run the projector and look for holes in the plasma projector screen, had a problem with the 87th cycle of the time-loop but could repair it without stopping 'The Game' for it is a Game of the Gods. Then it really ripped this time and they had to shut 'The Game' down for a long time when I was on my Spiritual Dantean Journey. All us 'pawns' went back to our gods/Creators until they got it fixed. But it was too broken to fix for long. Not only did the plasma projector screen crack and tear, there were quadrillions to the 3rd power of little pin holes and although they tried to fix them, they missed some. That's why people are seeing reality melt in front of them or buildings change over night and all kinds of things! I get letters from people about this plus I've seen some real strange shit myself lately. It's like living in that movie 'Dark City'.

When they got the hologram working again, they blocked us and sent us back to our spots on the Cosmic gameboard. I didn't have to come back - I won my way out last time - but I did come back.

The hologram is collapsing so the 'universe' is collapsing. We don't have much time left. I KNEW This, too, but it was Confirmed by the Book. The serpents are trying desperately to get off this planet because they have no more help with another time-loop. Ever wonder why so much money and brain power has been spent on the Hadron CERN Collider or that Giant Laser science has developed? It's all part of research the serpent race needs to get off this rock. That's why science never researches for the good of people. It's all for the serps. Now they've got this problem that the hologram is melting, they need more technology than before because they need to get to another universe.

The Book of Light confirmed something I already KNEW but need to tell everyone: If the serpent race does get a way off this planet, they are going to blow this planet up! A final blood tribute to their god plus they hate us.

There's so much more to this. Thousands and thousands of pages more. I'm just telling you the Basic Outline. Most of the Book of Light is a list of every human sacrifice ever performed on this planet but it does also tell Our History.

For many years, I've argued with the God of the Souled WHY would He let us Suffer in this Real Hell? But my BIG ARGUMENT has always been about the time-loop because we have been forced to live the same lives (including reincarnated lives) over and over again. I have argued with Him hundreds of times about this and He's always told me, "I didn't cause it but let it happen" and then I'll argue back, "133 Times when Once Should Have Been Sufficient????"

But the Book of Light Showed Me The Answer About This. He let us be exposed to evil so many times that it's Creating a Natural Repellent to evil but it takes a long time to build it. As an Anarchist Feminist, I don't approve or believe in His Methods but this has happened and It's almost finished.

As for Loran and his bunch, well they've kept their Betrayal secret all this time. By Writing This and Popping a Little Lightning Off My Soul (I'm sending a copy of this to the Cosmos), everyone is going to know about this. I'm Creating a Magickal Meme with High Magic Tonight so all alike Souled Persons throughout all galaxies will KNOW THE TRUTH and GET THEIR MINDS RIGHT TO COME AND HELP US NOW. Otherwise, Our God will Judge them Harshly! But they'll KNOW.

Now, as bleak as it is (well it's not so bleak some of us are going to go to Heaven while the selfish ones will go to the 4th density until they get it right), there is Something Inside Us Our Ancestors Gave Us.

Although they weren't technologically developed, they were Spiritually Developed. They put Their History and Part of their Souls into Our DNA. All of Us Souled Carry It Within Us. The serps know about it and do everything they can to keep it hidden within us. The programs in this Special DNA can not be destroyed or decoded by the serps and their hell-pers (scientists with Souls).

Loran and his bunch have been watching us suffer and be needlessly sacrificed for all the cycles of the time-loop and never did anything to help us because they didn't want to be discovered for their theft of Our Original Planet and for imprisoning us here with the serpent race.

Other worlds have worried about the time-loop for a long time but Loran and the other leaders of the Inter Galactic Federation refused to help us citing all kinds of laws including the 'Law of Non-Inference' because we are not developed enough for their help. Never mind that we were kept retarded because the serpent race has been secretly ruling us (and eating us) plus we were always under their constant attacks so they could control our Minds and stop our Spiritual Development/Evolution. Now their worries are verified! Loran and his bunch of politicians are going to get us all killed. That's what happens when you do evil on that scale. Ironic, it is like a Cain and Abel tale, only on a more Cosmic Level. Our Own Kind sold us out so they could have easy Lives.

Ironic, too, is that we have legal and Spiritual Claims to Ownership of most of the Hologram but now it's melting.

We Carry This History I Just Told You Inside All of Us. By Reminding a Few People and the Magic I'm Going to Do, This Truth Will Carry Everywhere.

As for the Magic, well that's my own idea. The God of the Souled KNOWS ME. Of course He Knows I Will Use My Power to try to do Something to Help Us. He KNEW When He Showed Me the Book and My Mind and His Mind Was Hooked Up that I would try to find Creative Ways to Use the Information to Help the Souled. I'm an Anarchist. It's My Job.

If you have any Questions, email me.

Nations Before Our Own
By Brad Steiger
7-8-8

In the mid-1950s, Mrs. Alleyne K. Ecker pulled a peculiar object from red clay fifteen feet down in a well workmen were digging on her farm in Guthrie, Oklahoma. After she had washed off the mud and clay, she found that she had retrieved a figurine that depicted a bearded, robed figure holding a lamb. A man who claimed to be an expert on woodcarving told her that the artifact had been shaped from a tree harder than ebony, a tree that had been extinct for centuries; but no one could identify the figure of the ancient shepherd.

After the object had been in her possession for some time, two Chinese students at a nearby college told Mrs. Ecker that they recognized the figurine as a representation of Shou Hsing, the Chinese god of longevity. The idol was considered by the students to be the earliest representation of the god, who was esteemed as a deity many centuries before Christ.

About 1910 a small boy playing in the tiny settlement of Flora Vista, New Mexico, dug up two slabs of carved rock and released a controversy that has raged unabated ever since. Among the symbols of an ancient language no one has yet deciphered are the figures of a number of indigenous animals--and two elephants. Clearly, unmistakably, with trunks and floppy ears and tusks, the figures represent elephants. The boy found the slabs in 800-year-old tribal ruins on the Animas River, opposite the village of Flora Vista.

Can someone draw a picture of an elephant without ever having seen one?

It has been postulated that if you put enough monkeys in a room with enough typewriters and provide them with enough paper, one of them will eventually reproduce Hamlet. If countless ancient Native American tribal artists had carved enough representations of animals on enough rock slabs, is it possible that one of them had eventually carved an elephant?

To examine the alternatives, we might say that one of the following explains the elephant slabs:

1. Mammoths coexisted in the Southwestern United States until eight centuries ago with men sophisticated enough to capture their image in art.

2. An invasion fleet launched by an Asian potentate reached the New World, complete with war elephants, and a Native tribal artist captured the event for posterity.

3. The slabs are the work of a hoaxster, who hid his fakes in the old tribal ruins so that sooner or later either an archaeologist or a small boy would uncover them.

4. The slabs found their way to New Mexico via the tradeships of Phoenicians or Africans between 900-200 B.C.E.

On September 13, 1924, near Tucson, Arizona, Charles E. Manier found the first of what would prove to be a series of unusual artifacts inscribed with what very nearly appears to be Latin. Among the twenty-seven artifacts are six crosses, nine swords or sword fragments, a spearheaded serpent cross, and a crescent cross. According to authorities, the language appears to be Latin of a style popular up to A.D. 900, and dates on some of the pieces bear out this supposition. But the Latin inscriptions strive to record a kind of history of settlement and provide a journal of exploration that makes no sense--and a few Hebrew words thrown in here and there add confusion rather than clarification.

Again, we are left attempting to explain bizarre hybrid artifacts:

1. The crosses and swords and their peculiar Latin inscriptions could be some incredible hoax.

2. A band of explorers, perhaps from the Mediterranean area with a knowledge of Christianity, Latin, and Hebrew, could somehow, circa 800 A.D., have gotten themselves to the American Southwest, established a colony, recorded their history, and then proceeded to pass into obscurity. Some of the Hebrew words found jumbled in with the Latin are "Jehovah," "Peace," and "Mighty Empire." Did the explorers consider themselves part of a mighty empire, or did they find themselves confronted with a mighty empire in the American Southwest?

The Scientific American for July 22, 1882, tells of a curious find of "Pre-Indian Relics from Virginia":

The objects [found between the ranges of the Blue and Allegheny mountains, near Mount Pisgah, North Carolina] are said to be of a type absolutely unique, consisting partly of human, partly of animal figures, either in the round or in various degrees of relief. Some are household utensils. They appear to have been sculptured by metal instruments, so perfect is their workmanship.

The correspondent for Scientific American comments further that the human figures were not fashioned in the likenesses of American Indians, and that the images were fully clothed in tight-fitting garments. Some of the figurines were represented as seated in armchairs; others were astraddle a most remarkable variety of animals--bears, prairie dogs, birds.

An imaginative artisan at work, one may comment comfortably. But then comes the zinger: Some of the riders are seated upon two-humped camels, rhinoceroses, and hippopotamuses. Either our artisan observed such African animals for himself, saw representations of such animals, or he was more than imaginative, he was clairvoyant.

The Scientific American hazards a theory that "the articles were made by an earlier and more civilized race, subjugated and partially destroyed by the Indians found in Virginia on the arrival of the white men." However, the specimens of the Old World animals were "obviously" made by a white man, the report concludes without further explanation.

Roman coins have been unearthed in tribal burial mounds as far west as Illinois.

An iron fork was found in a prehistoric tribal site near Eddyville, Kentucky.

Japanese pottery from the Jomon period (3000 B.C.) was found in Ecuador in 1966.

Viking rune stones continue to be unearthed throughout the United States and Canada.

The colossal stone heads scattered in the jungles of Veracruz display obvious Negroid features.

A clay tablet found along the Susquehanna River Dear Winfield, Pennsylvania, bears a cuneiform inscription that describes a short-term loan of an Assyrian merchant in Cappadocia around 1900 B.C. E.

I quite agree with my friend Patrick Huyghe, who, in his book Columbus Was Last: From 200,000 BC to 1492, A Heretical History of Who Was First (Anomalist, 2005) presents enormous amounts of evidence to prove that numerous seafarers landed on the shores of North and South America before the earliest recorded sighting of either continent by a European. However, as I point out in Worlds Before Our Own (Anomalist, 2007), there are a great number of artifacts that have been discovered throughout this hemisphere that simply do not make any kind of sense on anyone's timetable. The evidence, plain and simple, appears to reveal that there were other great nations on these lands before our own.

An estimated two million pounds of copper were mined on Isle Royale in Michigan by some unnamed prehistoric mining empire that had the means of transporting the metal out of the immediate area.

Several bog-iron smelting furnaces have been found scattered over the southern half of Ohio. Farmers in that state occasionally turn up iron artifacts in their fields.

Speculation as to the identity of the ancient workers in iron has included the Vikings, the mysterious Mound Builders, or a long-forgotten civilization that once existed in America.

All that can be said with certainty at this time is that when the early settlers arrived in Ohio in the years 1790 to 1810, they found no less than 100 abandoned hills crowned with stone fortifications. Some of these remained for years at Fort Hill, Spruce Hill and Glenford Fort in Perry County. Similar fortified hills may be seen at Hill Fort, Georgia, and Manchester, Tennessee. At the Manchester fort the first settlers found bricks and a short iron sword.

In 1820 Caleb Atwater issued a report of a furnace surrounded by bricks in the central mound around which Circleville was built. With the furnace were what appeared to be a dagger and a plate, both of disintegrated iron.

In 1953 miners of the Lion coal mine of Wattis, Utah, broke into a network of tunnels between five and six feet in height and width, which contained coal of such vast antiquity that it had become weathered to a state of uselessness for any kind of burning or heat. A search outside the mountain in direct line with the tunnels revealed no sign of any entrance. Since the tunnels were discovered when the miners were working an eight-foot coal seam at 8,500 feet, the evidence is irrefutable that an undetermined someone conducted an ambitious mining project so far back in time that all exterior traces have been eroded away.

Professor John E. Willson of the Department of Engineering, University of Utah, was quoted in the February, 1954, issue of Coal Age: "Without a doubt, both drifts were man-made. Though no evidence was found at the outcrop, the tunnels apparently were driven some 450 feet from the outside to the point where the present workings broke into them. . . . There is no visible basis for dating the tunnels .... "

Jesse D. Jennings, professor of anthropology at the University of Utah, could offer no opinion as to the identity of the ancient miners, but he denied that the vast runnels and coal mining rooms could have been the work of any Native American people. "In the first place," he commented, "such works would have required immediate and local need for coal. . . . because before the white man came, transport was by human cargo carriers. . . . As for local use, there was no reported extensive burning of coal by aboriginals in the region of the Wattis mine."

The Morrisonville, Illinois, Times, December 24, 1851, reprinted an item from the Springfield Republican titled "A Nut for Geologists":

Hiram de Wirr, of this town, who has recently returned from California, brought with him a piece of auriferous quartz rock, of about the size of a man's fist. On Thanksgiving Day it was brought out for exhibition to a friend, when it accidentally dropped upon the floor and split open. Near the center of the mass was discovered, firmly embedded in the quartz and slightly corroded, a cut-iron nail, of the size of a six-penny nail. It was entirely straight and had a perfect head. By whom was this nail made? At what period was it planted in the yet uncrystallized quartz? How came it in California? If the head of that nail could talk, we should know something more of American history than we are ever likely to know.

In a letter dated December 5, 1879, a Mr. Hannibal Fox of Milton, Sullivan County, Missouri, wrote to The American Antiquarian(Vol. 3, p. 336) regarding his discovery of a silver and iron mask, which he had uncovered while plowing a field. The publication commented that "melting iron and silver in a crucible, and preparing a matrix by placing clay over the face after death, and pouring the metal so that the vessel tipped, do not seem to be operations which are usual among the aborigines, or, as far as we know, even among the Mound Builders."

On Tuesday, June 9, 1891, Mrs. S. W. Culp broke a lump of coal preparatory to placing it in the scuttle, an act she had performed thousands of times. However, the artifact that fell out of the lump was most singular.

"At first," according to the Morrisonville, Illinois, Times of June 11, 1891, "Mrs. Culp thought the chain had been dropped accidentally in the coal, but as she undertook to lift the chain up, the idea of its having been recently dropped was at once made fallacious, for as the lump of coal broke, it separated almost in the middle, and the circular position of rhe chain placed the two ends near to each other; and as the lump separated, the middle of the chain became loosened while each end remained fastened to the coal."

In the Creation Research Society Quarterly (March, 1971), Wilbert H. Rusch, Sr., Professor of Biology, Concordia College, Ann Arbor, Michigan, quoted a letter a colleague had received from a Frank J. Kenwood, who said that he had been a fireman in the Municipal Electric Plant in Thomas, Oklahoma, in 1912, when he split a large piece of coal and discovered an iron pot encased within.

"This iron pot fell from the center, leaving the impression or mould of the pot in the piece of coal," Kenwood wrote. "I traced the source of the coal, and found that it came from the Wilburton, Oklahoma, mines."

It is difficult to place the age of such items as coins, chains, silver masks, and iron pots. The radiocarbon-14 method of determining age can only be applied to organic materials, such as bone, wood, coal, and textiles.

On December 17, 1869, the Los Angeles News printed an account of an inscribed slate wall that had been supplied by a correspondent of the Cleveland Herald, writing from Wellsville, Ohio:

Capt. Lacy of Hammondsville, Ohio, had some men engaged in making an entry into his coal bank, when a huge mass of coal fell down, disclosing a large, smooth slate wall, upon the surface of which were plainly carved several lines of hieroglyphics. No one has yet been able to tell in what language the words are written. The letters are raised; the first line contains 25. It is probably that they were cut in the coal while in its vegetable state and during its formation into coal. The matter from which the slate is formed filled the impression and became solid, for since the removal of the coal we find the letters upon the slate apparently reversed.

The men discovered the wall with its undecipherable hieroglyphics about 100 feet below the surface. If the letters were cut into the coal in its "vegetable state," as the anonymous journalist suggests, then we are back in the Carboniferous Systems, approximately 250 million years ago.

The Scientific American for January 14, 1886, carries a report from the Lexington, Kentucky, Press that tells of a massive stone wall unearthed by workmen quarrying rock one mile from town on the Frankfort pike:

It had every appearance of having been built by human hands, the mortar seams and joints being very plain. Above it about ten feet of drift and twenty feet of rock had been removed by the workmen, and on the side exposed the men had advanced fully forty feet from where they first struck rock. Thus it was firmly embedded in a solid limestone quarry which certainly was formed about it since the wall was built. The face of the wall was well dressed, and its massive appearance gave evidence of the skill of hands perished long centuries ago, and could well be envied by the best of the stone masons of today.

On June 27, 1969, workmen leveling a rock shelf at 122nd Street on the Broadway Extension between Edmond and Oklahoma Ciry, Oklahoma, uncovered a rock formation that created a great deal of controversy among investigating authorities. To a layman, the site looked like an inlaid mosaic tile floor. Apparently looked very much like someone's inlaid floor to some of the experts as well.

"I am sure this was man-made because the stones ate placed in perfect sets of parallel lines which intersect to form a diamond shape, all pointing to the east," said Durwood Pate, an Oklahoma City geologist who studied the site. "We found post holes which measure a perfect two rods from the other two. The top of the stone is very smooth, and if you lift one of them, you will find it is very jagged, which indicates wear on the surface. Everything is too well placed to be a natural formation [Edmond Booster, July 3, 1969],"

Dr. Robert Bell, an archaeologist from the University of Oklahoma, expressed his opinion that the find was a natural formation. Dr. Bell said that he could see no evidence of any mortaring substance. But Pate, on the other hand, was able to distinguish some kind of mud between each stone.

Delbert Smith, a geologist, president of the Oklahoma Seismograph Company, said the formation, which was discovered about three feet beneath the surface, appeared to cover several thousand square feet. The Tulsa World (June 29, 1969) quoted Smith as saying: "There is no question about it. It has been laid there, but I have no idea by whom."

On November 5, 1967, Frank Tolbert, columnist for the Dallas Morning News , wrote about a buried city under Rockwall, Texas. Raymond B. Cameron told Tolbert that the walls of the mystery city were about eight inches thick and that the stones had been formed, or placed, on top of each other with the ends breaking near the center of the stone above or below, just as a fine mason would build a wall. The stones gave the appearance of having been beveled around their edges, and the walls were too regular in appearance to have been formed by nature.

Cameron went on to say that there was a mortarlike substance between the stones. Then he dropped the biggest blockbuster of all: "Four large stones taken from wall segments appear to have been inscribed by some form of writing. This couldn't have been done by erosion, since the stones were underground."

Tolbert concluded his column by recalling the visit of a famous archaeologist, Count Byron Kuhn de Porok, to Dallas in the 1920·s. The count seemed to lean heavily on the theory that these were once the walls of an ancient city. He said the walls looked remarkably like those of buried cities he'd excavated in North Africa and the Middle East.

In March, 1964, Frank McNamara, Jr., digging in his cellar in South Boston in an attempt to plug a leak, unearthed a sculptured, ten-pound stone head. The artwork shows the hair in short curls; the eyes slant downward and are quite long; there is a rather primitive treatment of the ears.

This strange find in a South Boston basement has baffled some of the best archaeologists and anthropologists at Harvard and at a number of museums and schools. There is a consensus that the artifact is not the work of native American Indians. But from that point, no one is certain whether the piece should be ascribed to the Near East, Western Asia, or Egypt. One authority ventured his opinion that the style of the primitive head would suggest the Near East of about 700 B.C.

No one seems interested in speculating just how the artifact came to reside several feet below the earth in South Boston.

But, then, there aren't too many archaeologists or other members of the scientific community who appear very interested in determining the identity of the nations before our own that occupied the continents of North and South America.

Here is a quote from Ann on link discussing ghosts.

''As a physics-minded person, I have tried to come up with an explanation. The only thing I have come up with is to model time not as a straight line, but as a line which twists and folds back upon itself. In some places two points in time are close enough for them to merge to some extent.

This would explain some ghosts. It isn't that they are ghosts in the present, but that we are seeing pieces of the past crossing temporarily into the present.''

I come from an island rich in tales of hidden folks, elves, dwarfs and a wide variety of ghosts.

What strikes me about these ghost stories are two things that repeatedly come up.

The ghosts takes no notice of people around them, as if unable to see them and often seem preoccupied
with some mundane task.

The ghost (if fully visible) is also almost always clothed.

This in itself is interesting, but the hmmm factor increases when considering that these clothes seem dated.

An event at my sisters house in the early seventies got me thinking that some kind of time loop was at play
in many of these ghost sightings.

I´m thinking this video captures an image from the past of a person that worked out there, or maybe it was
the janitor doing his rounds in 1993.

Have a good one

Abstract

Quantum Cosmology seeks to explain what happened at the Big Bang –
or even before.

But how can initial conditions be both necessary for physical explanations
(as an explanans), and yet have to be explained themselves in Big Bang
cosmology (as explananda)?

And what is the relationship between boundary conditions, constants of
nature, and physical laws – are they all mere initial conditions?

The talk shall address these questions on a conceptual level and
compare the approach of Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC) with other
quantum cosmological proposals. The advantage of LQC shall be shown
from a Philosophy of Science perspective, and with regard to a possible
solution of the question whether our universe did or did not have a
beginning. Some problems of most recent results in LQC are also
discussed.
______________________________________________________________________________

Some remarks on
Philosophy of Nature and Natural Science

• relationship to the natural sciences:
often unfortunately between arrogance of competence and
superfluous (low-level) reduplication
• very broad questions or controversial ones in science
• not as competition, but addition to science
• but also part of science (more or less explicit),
because science is not only description
• division of labor
• not restricted to (academic) philosophers

ontological
• what is the nature of nature if specific scientific theories are true?
→ Socrates' advice: "we must follow the argument wherever,
like a wind, it may lead us" (Plato: Republic 394d).
• interpretational issues (e.g. quantum physics)
• empirical underdetermination (e.g. cosmology)

epistemological
• applied philosophy of science and epistemology
• conceptual commentaries
• reflections about e.g. assumptions, principles, explanatory issues
(kinds, limits, justifications), and methodology
• foundational issues of (scientific) knowledge

historical
• importance during formative phase of a new theory
• synthesis, unity of science?
• connections with other fields (trans/interdisciplinary),
humanities, broader public
• relativity and broader context due to historical perspective

[cf. Bartels 1996]

Against dogmatism:

The Münchhausen trilemma

(Hans Albert 1968)

... of reasoning, justification,
and explanation ... and cosmology

• either stop/break – singularity, instanton models
• or infinite regress – eternal (e.g. cyclic) universe
• or (vicious) logical circle – self-creation via time-loop

[epistemology/methodology] [ontology]

→ no final explanation possible
→ ultimate contingency, no sufficient reason
→ science may never stop

[cf. Albert 1968, Vaas 2004f & 2006]
Scheme of explanations in physics

initial/boundary conditions & law(s)/theory → facts/events

Many different kinds of scientific explanation are within this scheme, e.g.:
– deductive-nomological explanation (covering law model)
for deterministic laws
– inductive-statistical explanation
for probabilistic laws (any probability?)
– causal explanation

Other kinds of explanation (needed?):
anthropic, functional, teleological, transcendent?

Cosmology

observations (expansion of space, cosmic background radiation, ratios of
light elements etc.) & laws/theories (general relativity, thermodynamics, high-energy physics)
→ Big Bang (as a retrodiction)

However: the observations are explained by the Big Bang theory,
not vice versa!

But how could the Big Bang be explained?

Explanandum:
Big bang – and its (causal) connections to the present/observable
universe
Explanans:
• initial conditions (e.g. dimensionality, metric, values of the fundamental
fields, fluctuations)
• fundamental physical constants (e.g. c, h, G)
• fundamental laws (e.g. of M-theory, GRT, susy-GUTs etc.)
Different notions of "Big Bang"

(1) the hot, dense early phase of our universe
where the light elements were formed

(2) the initial singularity

(3) an absolute beginning of space, time, and energy

(4) the beginning of our universe, i.e. its elementary particles,
vacuum state, and perhaps its (local) space-time

• That our universe originated from a Big Bang in the sense of (1)
is almost uncontroversial.

• (2) is the relativistic cosmology's limit of backward extrapolation
where the known laws of physics inevitably break down.

The singularity is the mathematical limit where density and temperature
approach infinity and space and time fall into the quantum regime.

Different models of quantum and string cosmology or a theory
of quantum gravity try to overcome this limit,
and (3) and (4) classify their different scenarios.

• Those characterized by (3) might be called initial cosmologies;
they postulate a very first moment.

• Those characterized by (4) are eternal cosmologies;
there are different kinds of them both in ancient and in modern
cosmology:
• static,
• evolutionary (with cumulative change),
• and revolutionary (with sharp phase-transitions) ones.
And they could have either a linear or a cyclic time.

The option (4) also allows the possibility that our universe
neither exists eternally, nor that it came into being out of nothing
or out of a timeless state,
but that space and time are not fundamental and irreducible at all,
or that there was a time "before" the Big Bang (in the sense of (1)),
as well as that there are other universes.
[Vaas 2004a&d]

Different notions of "universe"

(1) everything (physically) in existence, ever, anywhere

(2) the observable region we inhabit (the Hubble volume, roughly
27 billion light years in diameter), plus everything that has interacted
(for example due to a common origin) or will ever or at least in the
next few billion years interact with this region

(3) any gigantic system of causally interacting things that is wholly
(or to a very large extent or for a long time) isolated from others

(4) any system that might well have become gigantic, etc.,
even if it does in fact recollapse while it is still very small

(5) other branches of the wave function (if it never collapses)
in unitary quantum physics, i.e. different histories of the universe
or different classical worlds which are in superposition

(6) completely disconnected systems consisting of universes
in one of the former meanings, which do or do not share the same
boundary conditions, constants, parameters, vacuum states,
effective low-energy laws, or even fundamental laws, e.g. different
physically realized mathematical structures

• Nowadays, the term "cosmos" or "multiverse" or "world" (as a whole)
might be used to refer to Everything in Existence,
while "universe" (or "sub universe") permits to talk of several universes
within the multiverse.

• In principle, these universes – mostly conceived in the meanings of (2),
(3), or (4) – might or might not be spatially, temporally,
dimensionally, and/or mathematically separated from each other.
Thus, there are not necessarily sharp boundaries between them.

[Vaas 2003b & 2004a&d & 2005c]
Relativistic cosmology

• If there was a singularity (cf. Hawking-Penrose theorems)
than it cannot be explained in the framework of General Relativity
• It is the breakdown of GR cosmology (i.e. all classical laws),
GR's inherent limitation
→ seek for other explanations, go beyond classical relativistic cosmology!

Quantum cosmology

In quantum mechanics, any system – the universe included – is
described by a wave function y. There are two issues:
• a universal dynamical law (which makes no predictions by itself),
e.g. a Hamiltonian specifying the form of the Schrödinger equation
ih(d |y(t)Ò / dt) = H |y(t)Ò
• the initial quantum state
for the universe it is |y(0)Ò as a boundary condition
for the wave function y of the universe,
which satisfies (i.e. is a solution of) the Wheeler-DeWitt equation
Hy = 0.
It might be introduced as a separate law.

But there is still a separation between dynamics and state.
Could they be connected?

Yes, e.g.
– in the Hawking-Hartle wave function
y(g,j) = Ú(g,j) e-S (unbounded, divergent integral)
– or in Vilenkin's tunneling wave function
y(g,j) = ÚØ(g,j) eiS
– or in Linde's wave function
y(g,j) = Ú(g,j) eS (unbounded, divergent integral)
where Ú is the integration over paths (path integral, sum over histories)
interpolating between a vanishing 3-geometry Ø ("nothing", no classical
spacetime) and the 3-metric g and matter fields j,
and S is the Euclidean instanton action of a 4-sphere

But is there a principle/law that determines both
the dynamics and the state?
[cf., e.g., Hartle 2003, Vilenkin 2003]
Initial conditions

• inaccessible due to deterministic chaos?
• ... and inflation? (if > 60 e-foldings)
• but was there an initial state = a beginning nevertheless?
(Borde-Guth-Vilenkin theorem)
• or past-eternal inflation? (cf. Linde, Aguirre)
• or at least traces from "before"?
(Pre-Big-Bang, LQC, Cyclic Universe scenarios)
• underdetermination of cosmological models?

Only theory test possible without sufficient empirical confirmation?
(but what could be "sufficient"?)

Where the (pre-inflationary) initial conditions
• specific ("ordered"), improbable (?)
– cf. instantons
(Hawking-Hartle/Moss/Turok, Coleman-DeLucca, Vilenkin ...)
• general, diverse ("chaotic")
– cf. chaotic inflation

Constraints from initial conditions (or the laws determining them):
– Lorentzian-signature of 4D spacetime
– inflation (necessary?)
– near-critical energy density
– low anisotropies
– small inhomogeneities
– low entropy

• contingent brute facts without any explainability?
• caused by earlier conditions? (problem-shift only, and no strict initial
conditions) (e.g. Big Bang as a transition; or intentionally selected)
• irrelevant because of attractor solution? (e.g. inflation, Cyclic universe)
or "forgetting" (e.g. inflation, Mixmaster cosmology)
• retrodictable? (e.g. top-down cosmology, LQC)
→ present boundary conditions enough?
• final conditions – additional to or instead of initial conditions?
(cf. extremal principles)
• specific and part of the law(s)? (e.g. no boundary proposal)
• differently realized by a physical principle of plentitude
(and observational selection, WAP)?
[Vaas 2005b]
Micro- and macrotime
and the pseudo-beginning proposal

At least conceptually, time could both have a beginning,
in the macroscopic notion of an arrow,
and might be eternal,
in the microscopic notion of a steady state with statistical fluctuations

This offers a middle course between
the Scylla of a mysterious, secularized "creatio ex nihilo"
(absolute beginning, initial cosmology),
and the Charybdis of an equally inexplicable eternity of the world

macroscopic time scale

• characterized by an asymmetry of nature under a reversal of time,
i.e. the property of having a global (coarse-grained) evolution – an
arrow of time – or many arrows, if they are independent from each
other

microscopic time scale

• only local, statistically distributed events without dynamical
trends, i.e. a global time-evolution or an increase of entropy density,
exist
• e.g. quantum or string vacuum, spin networks, twistors

• if the system is in thermodynamic equilibrium (e.g. there is a huge
number – or degeneracy – of microscopic states identifiable with the
same coarse-grained state) and/or, if the system is in an extremely
simple, but meta-stable state

• due to accidental fluctuations, which exceed a certain threshold value,
universes can emerge out of that state
they get – and, thus, are characterized by – directed non-equilibrium
dynamics, specific initial conditions, and, hence, an arrow of time
(definable, e.g., by the cosmic expansion parameter or by the increase
of entropy)

[Vaas 2003a & 2004d&e]

Micro- and macrotime illustrated

Systems have an arrow of time if they undergo a directed development. This is manifest
only on a macroscopic level and is called macroscopic time here (or macrotime for short).
It comes along with an increase of entropy which is a measure for the disorder of the
system.

For example molecules in a closed box (figure above) spread from a corner (1) – if they
were released there, for instance, from a gas cylinder – in every direction and eventually
occupy the whole space (3). Then a state of equilibrium is reached which has no directed
development anymore and thus no macrotime. Coarse-grained „snapshots“ of the whole
system or sufficiently large parts of it show no difference (3 and 4). On a fine-grained level
there are still changes (3 versus 4). Thus, a microtime always remains. Due to accidental,
sufficiently large fluctuations – which happen statistically even in a state of equilibrium if
there is enough microtime available – local structures can arise (from 3 to 1) and a
macrotime temporarily comes into being again.

If the system is not closed but open (figure below), a state of equilibrium does not
necessarily develop and macrotime does not vanish. For instance, in the universe this is
the case because space expands. Whether there were specific, improbable initial
conditions at the big bang (1) or whether order and a directed development could have
come out of quite different initial configurations is controversial. Possibly the whole
universe is an accidental fluctuation in a macrotimeless quantum vacuum.
[Vaas 2004d&e]

The pseudo-beginning proposal in
Philosophy and Cosmology

• The micro/macrotime distinction offers also a solution of Kant's First
Antinomy of Pure Reason if some kind of metaphysical realism is
true, including an observer-independent and relational time.

• Immanuel Kant argued that it is possible to prove (!) both that the world
has a beginning and that it is eternal (Critique of Pure Reason A426f/
B454f), which seems to be mistaken!
• Kant believed he could overcome this "Widerspruch der Vernunft mit ihr
selbst" (A740) by the help of what he called "transcendental idealism".

• But if the pseudo-beginning proposal is true, Kant's First Antinomy
makes the error of the excluded third option,
i.e. it is not impossible that the universe could have both a beginning
and an eternal past.

• Some models of Loop Quantum Cosmology and String Cosmology
can be interpreted as examples for such a local beginning of our
macroscopic time out of a state with microscopic time, but with an
eternal, global macroscopic timelessness
[Vaas 2003a & 2004d]

Kinds of explanations for the Big Bang

• past-eternal, initial, and pseudo-beginning cosmologies have a different
explanatory status with specific advantages and disadvantages
• regarding the usual explanatory scheme, past-eternal cosmologies are
most conservative, initial cosmologies most radical (incompatible),
pseudo-beginning cosmologies in between cosmologies physical laws (and fundamental constants) initial conditions
past-eternal could be physically instantiated no (but transition conditions) initial only Platonic and creative? yes, in the strict sense pseudo-beginning could be physically instantiated yes, in a weak sense

Big Bang as a transition:

• Explanation by laws and earlier conditions
e.g.
– classical Big Bounce (via GR, k = +1, Λ > 0)
– Pre-Big-Bang (via string theory, principle of asymptotic past triviality)
– Cyclic Universe (via M-theory, brane collision, dilaton etc.)
– LQC (via LQG, certain assumptions and constraints)
• Shifts problem (infinitely far) back in time...?
• But is in accordance with usual physical explanations

Big Bang as the absolute beginning:

• Explanation by laws only?
e.g.
– Instanton (via quantum cosmology and certain constraints)
– Self-creation (via GRT and a temporal loop constraint)
circular causality = circular explanation?
• But: constants and laws as a kind of initial condition, too!
• And: must laws have a Platonic status? how could they be creative?
• And: not in accordance with usual physical explanations

Big Bang as pseudo-beginning:

• Explanation by laws and initial conditions in a weak sense
(micro-, but no macro-time)
e.g.
background-dependent:
– soft bang/emergent universe: Rebhan (2000), Ellis & Maartens (2003)
– quantum fluctuation, de Sitter instability etc.:
Tryon (1973), Brout et al. (1978 ff), Starobinsky (1979 ff),
Atkatz & Pagels (1982), Gott III (1982), Israelit (2002)
background-independent:
– pregeometry: Wheeler (1975), Atkins (1981), Wolfram (2002)
– loop quantum cosmology: Ashtekar & Bojowald et al. (2002 ff)
• Presupposes some physical ground state
(quantum vacuum, spin network, empty Minkowski space)
and fluctuations, i.e. also some generic initial conditions and laws
• But this is in accordance with usual physical explanations

Some cosmological possibilities
and their evaluation

Loop Quantum Gravity and Cosmology

= Riemannian Quantum Geometry = Quantum Spin Dynamics

• background-independent quantized General Relativity

Rovelli 1998, for a popular introduction see Vaas 2003c, for comparison
with other theories of quantum gravity, especially string theory, see, e.g.,
Smolin 2003 and the popular introduction of Vaas 2004b]

• LQG makes it possible to avoid the ominous beginning of our universe
with its physically unrealistic – infinite – curvature, extreme
temperature, pressure, and energy density

• It perhaps even opens a window into a time before the Big Bang –
space itself may have come from an earlier collapsing universe
that turned inside out or inverted and began to expand again

• Gravity becomes repulsive in the deep Planck regime

• Ashtekar: "Classical spacetime "dissolves" near the Big Bang, but the
spin network is still there." – "Physics does not stop at the Big Bang."

• LQG reaches beyond the singularity (which marks only the limit of GR)

• quantized, discrete instead of semi-classical spacetime

• difference equation instead of differential equation
→ discrete "time" steps

Important new discovery:
past-eternal Loop Quantum Cosmology

Abhay Ashtekar, Tomasz Pawlowski, Parampreet Singh 2005

• Ashtekar: "vast classical regions bridged deterministically
by quantum geometry"

assumptions:
• homogeneous isotropic (or anisotropic) models, simple topology
• gravity coupled to a massless scalar field (as a tracer for "time")
→ complete analytical and numerical treatment possible
→ "evolve backwards" using quantum Einstein equation

result:
• state remains semi-classical until very early times (before inflation)
• it enters a quantum regime
• and it re-emerges as a semi-classical state

if the universe is semi-classical and expanding today,
it was semi-classical and contracting before the Big Bang
and vice versa

advantages:
• no new principle needed beyond LQG (but LQG needs new principles!)
i.e. no exotic matter, no ad-hoc assumptions
• fluctuations under full control (unlike WKB methods)
• deterministic, unambiguous evolution
• precise notion of semi-classicality

problems:
• how to extract observables?
• inhomogeneous perturbations
• too simplistic in comparison to full theory of LQG?
• role of dark energy
• role of scalar field potentials
Past-eternal LQC – some remarks

Big Bang singularity has to be avoided/resolved

But what is gained?

– less than expected?
– back to philosophy?

• Assumption: semi-classical expanding universe today
→ where does it come from?

• Big Bang as a phase-transition

• eternal cosmology (past, future)

• contraction from past-eternal infinity !
if k ≤ 0, Λ ≥ 0

• past-eternal infinity of expansion/contraction cycles ?
(eternal resurrection, oscillating universe)
if k > 0, Λ ≤ 0

• stability of the cycle? entropy increase?

• simple model is stable and time-symmetric, but not very realistic

• role of anisotropies, perturbations, inhomogeneities, massive fields,
and potentials has to be considered in more realistic models

• nothing is trivial here!

• importance of numerical simulations

• opposite orientation of triads – irrelevant or predictive?
(e.g. CP violation)

Past-eternal LQC and (dis)advantages of
cosmological conservativism

features philosophical
evaluation:
a matter of
taste?
no assumptions beyond the theory (LQG)
however: LQG require new assumptions; new quantum
theory (von Neumann's uniqueness theorem by-passed)
+
–
ordinary explanation scheme: laws & boundary conditions +

Predestination Paradox

2009-03-21T19:52:00.000-07:00

http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Predestination_paradox

A predestination paradox, also called either a causal loop, or a causality loop and (less frequently) either a closed loop or closed time loop, is a paradox of time travel that is often used as a convention in science fiction. It exists when a time traveller is caught in a loop of events that "predestines" him or her to travel back in time. Because of the possibility of influencing the past while time travelling, one way of explaining why history does not change is by saying that whatever has happened was meant to happen. A time traveller attempting to alter the past in this model, intentionally or not, would only be fulfilling his role in creating history as we know it, not changing it. It is very closely related to the ontological paradox and usually occurs at the same time.

The predestination paradox is in some ways the opposite of the grandfather paradox, the famous example of the traveller killing his own grandfather before his parent is conceived, thereby precluding his own travel to the past by canceling his own existence.

In physics, the Novikov self-consistency principle proposes that contradictory causal loops cannot form, but that consistent ones can. In a physical sense, a self-consistent causal loop of this kind is not actually a paradox because it produces a logically consistent result rather than a contradictory one. It is only perceived as a paradox because it goes against conventional expectations and assumptions about causality.

Examples

A dual example of a predestination paradox is depicted in the classic Ancient Greek play 'Oedipus'

Laius hears a prophecy that his son will kill him and marry his wife. Fearing the prophecy, Laius pierces Oedipus' feet and leaves him out to die, but a herdsman finds him and takes him away from Thebes. Oedipus, not knowing he was adopted, leaves home in fear of the same prophecy that he would kill his father and marry his mother. Laius, meanwhile, ventures out to find a solution to the Sphinx's riddle. As prophesied, Oedipus crossed paths with Laius and this leads to a fight where Oedipus slays Laius. Oedipus then defeats the Sphinx by solving a mysterious riddle to become king. He marries the widow queen Jocasta not knowing she is his mother.

A typical example of a predestination paradox (used in The Twilight Zone episode "No Time Like the Past") is as follows:

A man travels back in time to discover the cause of a famous fire. While in the building where the fire started, he accidentally knocks over a kerosene lantern and causes a fire, the same fire that would inspire him, years later, to travel back in time.

A variation on the predestination paradoxes which involves information, rather than objects, traveling through time is similar to the self-fulfilling prophecy:

A man receives information about his own future, telling him that he will die from a heart attack. He resolves to get fit so as to avoid that fate, but in doing so overexerts himself, causing him to suffer the heart attack that kills him.

In all three examples, causality is turned on its head, as the flanking events are both causes and effects of each other, and this is where the paradox lies. In the second example, the person would not have traveled back in time but for the fire that he or she caused by traveling back in time. Similarly, in the third example, the man would not have overexerted himself but for the future information he receives.

In most examples of the predestination paradox, the person travels back in time and ends up fulfilling their role in an event that has already occurred. In a self-fulfilling prophecy, the person is fulfilling their role in an event that has yet to occur, and it is usually information that travels in time (for example, in the form of a prophecy) rather than a person. In either situation, the attempts to avert the course of past or future history both fail.

Examples from fiction

Time travel

Many fictional works have dealt with various circumstances that can logically arise from time travel, usually dealing with paradoxes. The predestination paradox is a common literary device in such fiction.

In The Twilight Zone 2002-2003 revival, there is an episode in which a character (played by Katherine Heigl) goes back in time to assassinate Adolf Hitler while he is a baby. She kills the baby (whom she presumes to be actual Adolf Hitler), but the nanny (discovering the death) replaces the baby with a street gypsy's baby, and she presents this baby to the father as his own. The father proceeds to introduce this son to his guests as "Adolf", presumably the Adolf Hitler known to history in the first place.

In television, the episode "Roswell That Ends Well" of the animated television series Futurama puts a more humorous spin on the paradox. In the episode, the main characters are thrown back in time to Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, sparking the Roswell UFO Incident. Meanwhile, Philip J. Fry, told that the death of his grandfather Enos would nullify his own existence, becomes obsessed with protecting the man. To this end, he shuts Enos in a deserted house in the middle of the desert in order to protect him, failing to realize that the house is in fact on a nuclear testing site. The resulting atomic test kills Enos, but Fry does not disappear. Fry later comforts Enos' fiancée, no longer believing her to be his future grandmother. He has sex with her, only to realize afterward (thanks to the Professor) that she was/will be his grandmother after all because Fry has just made her pregnant with Fry's own father, making him his own grandfather.

The video game Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, the second in the Prince of Persia trilogy, centers heavily around predestination paradoxes. In the game, the Prince is being chased by the Dahaka, a being whose purpose is to preserve the timeline by erasing the Prince from it. Unable to fight the monster, the Prince travels to the Island of Time in order to kill the Empress of Time, who created the time-manipulating sands from the first game. In doing so, he hopes to prevent the sands from being created, since it was the existence of the sands that put him in his current predicament. However, the Prince realizes too late that killing the Empress is what creates the sands, and hence he becomes the architect of his own fate. A secondary paradox is the Sand Wraith, who seems to stalk the Prince throughout the first half of the game, even trying to kill him at one point. The wraith is killed by the Dahaka shortly before the Prince kills the Empress. After killing the Empress, the Prince realizes that he can change his fate by using the Mask of the Wraith, which transforms him into the Sand Wraith and sends him back in time a short distance. He learns that the wraith (who he now understands to be his future self) was trying to protect him, rather than attack him. Upon reaching the point at which the Dahaka is supposed to kill him, the Prince uses his knowledge of the encounter to have his younger self die instead, ending the mask's power and creating a grandfather paradox as well.

The film Donnie Darko incorporates a very complex example of fictional predestination paradox. Donnie avoids death by a jet engine that appears out of nowhere, only to later, because of information he has learned since, send the engine back in time himself so that he may die by it. He thereby negates all activity that occurred between the appearance of the engine and him sending it back, including his learning of the reason that he must die. This is explained through use of a tangent universe and a very complicated physical and temporal theory.

In Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry is saved from the dementors by a stag patronus. At that time, he thought it was his dead father's spirit or some sort watching over him (his father's Animagus form is a stag). After traveling back in time, he realizes he was the one who produced the patronus- after watching himself being attacked and seeing that no one had produced the stag patronus- he himself casts the spell, producing the stag patronus he had seen earlier. Similarly, in the movie, Harry and his friends are alerted to the presence of the Minister for Magic when a rock hits Harry in the head; but after travelling back in time, Hermione recognizes the same rock and throws it at Harry herself. Note that, had this rock not been thrown by her in the first place, she wouldn't have recognized it later on, and wouldn't have known to throw it.

In the Legacy of Kain video game series, more specifically Soul Reaver, Soul Reaver 2, and Defiance, the predestination is evident in the Soul Reaver as well as Raziel, who's soul is contained inside. Through the storyline of the 3 games it is learned that Raziel's soul must become part of the Reaver, despite the fact that it has been a part of the weapon the whole time. Defiance ends in Raziel being stabbed by the Reaver, allowing his soul to be transferred to it, allowing the loop to begin again.

Prophecies

Prior to the use of time travel as a plot device, the self-fulfilling prophecy variant was more common.

Shakespeare's "Macbeth" is a classic example of this. The three Weird Sisters give Macbeth a prophecy that he will eventually become king, but the offspring of his best friend will rule instead of his afterwards. Spurred by the prophecy, he kills Duncan, his king, and his friend Banquo, something he never would have done before. In addition to these prophecies, other prophecies foretelling his downfall are given, such as that he will not be attacked until a forest moves to his castle, and that no man ever born of a woman can kill him. In the end, fate (or predestination) is what drives the House of Macbeth mad, and, ultimately, kills them, as Macbeth is killed by a man who was never "born", as the man was torn from his mother's womb by cesarian section.

In the Philip K. Dick short story "The Minority Report", on which the Steven Spielberg film Minority Report is based, murders are prevented through the efforts of three "precogs", psychic mutants who can see the crimes before they are committed. When police chief John Anderton is implicated in a murder-to-be, he sets out on a crusade to figure out why he would kill a man he has yet to meet. Many of the signposts on his journey to meet fate were predicted exactly as they occur, and his search leads him inexorably to the scene of the crime, where he cannot stop himself from killing the other man. In the end, the prediction itself is what had set the chain of events in motion.

In the Harry Potter series a prophecy made by Sybill Trelawney foretelling of "the one with the power to vanquish the dark lord" is what causes Lord Voldemort to attempt to kill Harry and thus imbue him with the power to be able to vanquish Voldemort.

Similarly in the popular network television show Lost, Desmond Hume's future flashes regarding Charlie's deaths eventually lead to his death. Desmond has a vision in which Charlie pushes a button below a flashing light which allows the other castaways to be rescued just before he drowns. However when the event occurs, events happen slightly differently than in Desmond's vision and it is suggested that Charlie may have been able to save himself without jeopardizing the hopes of rescue, if he had not believed his death was crucial in the rescue of the other castaways.

In Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker is plagued by dreams of his wife dying during child birth. This, as well as the limitations placed upon him by the Jedi council, sends him towards the dark side of the force in an effort to find a way to prevent her death. In his desire to keep Chancellor Palpatine alive, as he is the only one with the knowledge Anakin needs to prevent his wife from dying, Anakin attacks Jedi Master Mace Windu, preventing him from killing Palpatine and thus fully turns to the Dark Side. Becoming Darth Vader, Anakin performs evil acts which cause his wife, Padme to withdraw from him, eventually leading to him using his dark side powers to kill her.

If We Were Trapped in a Time Loop...

Message written by
Joseph
September 11, 2008 at 07:22:14:

Recently I heard about this Particle Collider thing in Europe. Apparently, the scientists who created it are trying to recreate the Big Bang on a smaller scale. And maybe a tiny black hole. I'm a bit unclear on it.

At any rate, many well known scientists, like Hawkins, say everything should be fine. But there are a few other scientists out there (lesser known?) who fear something really bad will happen because of the testing.

Like the earth being ripped apart by black holes, or time and space becoming like so much swiss cheese, or etc.

So I was wondering. If we all end up in a time loop, would that time loop also envelope the spiritual beings within some close proximity to the Earth dimension that we are all currently presiding in. Obviously, this shouldn't effect anyone outside of our own space/time/dimension/etc, unless such confined occurences could have some sort of stretching effect such as if an acended soul who had only recently aceneded from our space/time...having left the Earth after participating within the set history of the loop...would they be sucked back into it, be both ascended and trapped within the replaying loop, or completely disapear from the loop scenerio thus changing history in that alone.

Of course, we could get lucky and just lose time and space, returning to our true forms until a new nursery is created, or we are just moved to a new one.

But if we were trapped in a time loop, even now, and if our spirit guides and what not were also trapped somehow by that looping...would any of us know it?

Other than by subliminal messages...something regergitating from our shared consciousness, revealing itself through forms such as deja vu, dreams, art work, books and movies (and their titles), or even prophecies.

Of course, someone from outside the loop bubble might enter themselves into the whole mess (if its possible). Risking the trapping of themselves in the process.

Or maybe someone from outside the loop might try to inject some sort of messaging system to make us aware of what was happening. So we could prevent it from happening again. Or just blow up the earth before it happens, freeing us all in the process.

Any thoughts?

Groundhog Day

Temporal Causality Loop Introduction

This is going to be a long analysis as I think it is important to understand the principles beyond Groundhog Day in order to write something more interesting. You might forget all this and keep it simple, but at least I would have made you aware of the potential of that story.

It is important to note that the movie Groundhog Day has not tried to explain the phenomenon of the day repeating itself. The movie starts with clouds, which suggests that God is involved somehow. Well, this does not do good sci-fi, so no help there. Fortunately the movie has spawned some monsters and the people inspired by it tried to explain it (the fools!).

Groundhog Day is one of my favorite movies of all time. As it happens the episodes of the X-Files, Star Trek and Stargate SG-1, that I will be talking about here, are all my favorite episodes in their respective series. It is not only me, many fans of those series said the same thing. Cause and Effect is an all time favorite episode of all Star Trek series. So this story has a great potential from the start.

Why? Because of the subject and the possibility that this is happening right now in our lives even though we don't realize it. How many times have we heard: I had a hunch, I had a feeling, I feel I have already done that, I had an intuition, and the classic I just had a déjà vu? So many times that there must be something underlying these phenomena. Something that can be exploited and amplified in a story after, for example, an initial explosion wrecked normal space-time in the area and perhaps the normal linearity of the timeline.

It is important to know what the others did so you don't do the same thing and you can do better. So please read the short descriptions of these episodes and then my comments following each description. My four identified solutions are at the end. Here is a shortcut to the Overall Solutions.

Star Trek - The Next Generation
Cause and Effect - Season 5, Episode 18
www.startrek.com/library/tng_episodes/episodes_tng_detail_68542.asp

Synopsis:

Trapped in a time warp that forces the crew to endlessly repeat the same experiences, the U.S.S. Enterprise is doomed to destruction.

While playing poker with Riker, Data and Worf, a strange feeling of déjà vu helps Beverly successfully call Riker's bluff. She is then summoned to sickbay to examine a dizzy Geordi, and once again experiences this sensation. When she goes to bed that evening, she is haunted by strange voices in her quarters. The ship continues to chart the Typhon Expanse, a previously unexplored region of space, until the distortion field suddenly fluctuates, the main propulsion systems collapse, and the Enterprise is thrown into red alert on a collision course with an older starship. Riker recommends decompressing the main shuttlebay, but Picard follows Data's advice and uses the tractor beam to alter the other ship's trajectory. Unfortunately, this course fails, the ships collide and the Enterprise explodes and is completely destroyed.

Later, Riker, Data, Worf and Beverly are playing cards again, and both Riker and Beverly realize they know what is coming next. Beverly is again summoned to Sickbay, where she and Geordi both experience feelings of déjà vu. When she hears the voices in her room, she immediately goes to Picard and tells him that something strange is going on. He decides to run a diagnostic. The next morning, while discussing the results of that diagnostic, the older ship mysteriously appears and the Enterprise is again destroyed.

The card game is in full swing again, but this time, all four players realize they know what cards are coming next. Beverly anticipates being called to Sickbay, and when Geordi again shows up feeling dizzy, she goes to Picard and repeats their previous exchange. She hears the voices in her room again, but this time Beverly turns on her tape recorder. The recording is studied, and Data deduces that the strange voices are the voices of the crew.

Beverly and Geordi realize that they are trapped in a causality loop — a time warp that dooms them to endlessly repeat the same fragment of time. This phenomenon is causing Geordi's dizziness, and Data discovers that it also explains the voices on the tape, which are "echoes" from a previous loop. He isolates pieces of dialogue that indicate that the Enterprise collided with another ship, exploded, and got stuck in the time warp. Realizing that whatever they do to avoid the collision will probably be the same thing they have done before, Data decides the only hope is to send a deliberate message into the next loop. They prepare to send the message, the red alert begins again, and the ship is destroyed.

Another card game is in progress, but this time, the cards are different, with everything occurring in threes. Things continue to happen in sets of three, and the number three is seen everywhere for no explicable reason. Other than this difference everything occurs as before. When the red alert begins, Picard again chooses Data's advice over Riker's. At the last minute, however, Data notices the three pipes on Riker's uniform and, realizing "three" was the message he planted for himself, takes Riker's advice and leads the ship to safety. The collision avoided, the crew is hailed by the older ship, the U.S.S. Bozeman. The Enterprise contacts Starfleet Command, who reports that they have been caught in a time warp for seventeen days, while the other ship has been stuck for 90 years.

Here is the script of act 4: http://home.att.net/~que/qstce.htm

Comments

Star Trek - Cause and Effect

In the series Star Trek they talk about being caught in a time loop or a temporal causality loop. They have to remember it themselves, with feelings of déjà vu that get stronger and stronger with the days passing by. They get to understand that they are stuck in a specific fragment in time that they are experiencing over and over again. So they try to find a way out but they forget all about it the next day. They have to find a way to remember and do things differently. They don't call it déjà vu anymore because it is more than a feeling, they are actually reliving the same day again and again.

They hear voices from previous loops that they can record and analyze, especially one that says that there is a highly localized distortion of the space-time continuum (a distortion field created by another ship coming towards them). The whole thing was very well thought.

How they get this temporal distortion? With a big explosion that ruptured the space-time continuum, the explosion of their anti-matter propulsion system. Also, they are in a previously unexplored region of space called the Typhon Expanse (that always helps, to be somewhere spooky that nobody explored before, except that other ship colliding with them).

Their solution is to send a message into the next loop on how to avoid the collision and prevent the explosion. The echoes or after images of the previous loops received through Geordi's visors appear in the distortion of the Tachyon Field (a tachyon is a particle going faster than the speed of light). To send a deliberate echo in the next loop, they will enhance a Tachyon emission to create a specific pattern and send to themselves a very short message, like the word 3. If the Tachyon emission is modulated correctly, it will set up a resonance in the positronic subprocessors of Data. He will receive the message on a subconscious level and they don't know how data will perceive that information, it could be like a post hypnotic suggestion.

I will continue my analysis in the overall comments later on.

Stargate SG-1

Window of Opportunity, Season 4, Episode 6
www.stargate-sg1.com/home/episodes/s4.html

Synopsis : While exploring planet P4X 639, the SG-1 team meets Malikai, a human explorer from another world who shares Daniel's interest in an alien computer covered in a strange Latin-like script. As solar flares flash from the red sun overhead, Malikai warns Daniel that the geomagnetic disturbance may be dangerous to the SG-1 team and tells him to leave. When Daniel ignores him, Malikai zaps him with a weapon and begins to program the alien computer. O'Neill and Teal'c rush to Daniel's aid and are caught, with Malikai, in a mysterious blue light. Suddenly, they find themselves back at Stargate command, ten hours earlier, preparing to head off on the mission they've just returned from. And then it happens again. And again. And again. As O'Neill returns to eat the same plate of Fruit Loops over and over again, it becomes clear that they've been caught in a time loop and that only he and Teal'c retain their memories through each ten-hour cycle. It's up to them to decode the message on the mysterious machine and figure out a way to break the loop.

Comments

Stargate SG-1 - Window of Opportunity

In Stargate, interesting enough, they found a different way of exploiting the idea. Two characters remember everything clearly, the last 10 hours, after which they go back in time to the beginning of the time loop. They have a very big familiarity with the events and remember clearly what happened the first time. It is the funniest and most intelligent episode they did. I wonder who thought about the Fruit Loops in an episode about time loops. Note that only the three characters caught in the beam remember everything, they others don't.

They need two things for the loop to happen. First, a solar storm: a coronal mass emission (giant solar flare) on a weird planet creating a geomagnetic field (geomagnetic disturbances) - disrupting the planet's magnetic field and creating dangerous radiation. The second element is a strange and old alien device with some weird scriptures on it: "conqueror of time" is a first suggestion, but the right translation is "masters of the uncertain past". The device is activated by drawing energy from the ionization in the atmosphere (electric field) and sends a huge energy beam in the wormhole of the Stargate, causing 14 different worlds to relive the same 10 hours over and over again.

An interesting question asked in the episode: do they remember future events or have they been sent back in time? An explanation: could this beam from the alien device be a mean to access the gate's subspace field in order to create some kind of time inversion outside of subspace? (Some people must have had headaches thinking of that one!)

An interesting thing is that since nobody else remembers what happened in the previous loops, O'Neill and Teal'c can do whatever they want without consequences. Very funny what they do…

The X-Files

Monday - Season 6, Episode 15

Monday morning and Mulder awakes to find his water bed has leaked, shorting out his alarm clock making him late. Water has seeped through the floor to the apartment below and the resident calls to complain. On arrival at the X-files basement office in the FBI building Scully informs him he is late for a meeting with Assistant Director Skinner, but Mulder has to make a bank deposit to cover the cheque he wrote to his landlord for the damages. Mulder goes to the Cradock Marine Bank down the street from the FBI offices. In a car outside a woman, Pam, and a man, Bernard, sit talking. Bernard tells Pam he has to run an errand but when he gets inside the bank he starts a robbery. Moments later Scully enters the bank looking for Mulder and draws her gun, in all the commotion Mulder is shot. As Scully tries to help Mulder, who lies bleeding, riot police alerted by the silent alarm storm the bank. Bernard knowing he is trapped detonates the explosives strapped to his chest destroying the bank....

Monday morning and Mulder awakes to find his water bed has leaked, shorting out his alarm clock making him late.....and so it goes on, time appears to be repeating itself in a loop, forcing Mulder and Scully to continually relive the experience with small variations but always the same result, the bank is blown up. Only the woman Pam appears conscious of the time loop, of the events repeating themselves and tries in vain to alert the two agents to their shared predicament.

Noteworthy Quote

Mulder: "Scully, did you ever have one of those days you wish you could rewind and start all over again from the beginning?"

Scully: "Yes, frequently. But I mean, who's to say that if you did rewind it and start over again that it wouldn't end up exactly the same way?"

X-Files - Monday

Again in the X-Files, like in Star Trek, an explosion in the teaser is the catalyst for going back to a point in time that is the beginning of the time loop. In Star Trek they go back to a poker game where they can easily remember the cards. In the X-Files they have chosen to start with Mulder waking up on a Monday morning like in Groundhog Day when Bill Murray wakes up in the bed of the hotel. This time the radio clock is fried so we don't have to suffer Mulder trying to destroy it dozens of times.

The explosion of a bank (and quite an explosion for a TV show) is the cause of the time loop, and only the girlfriend of the guy with a bomb can remember everything from a loop to another. She has tried everything to break the loop except being shot, freeing everybody from the loop.

Though there is absolutely nothing that could explain that loop in the X-Files, they have developed a very nice philosophic way of looking at it. Mulder is having a horrible Monday with his bed dripping on the neighbors downstairs and being late for work. His terrible day continues when he arrives in the bank where a mad guy shoots him and blows the bank. The girlfriend remembering everything realizes with time that the others start remembering glimpses of the other loops. And it is only this fate in the truth that will save them all, because then Mulder will believe her enough to work with her into a workable solution.

The interesting philosophical ideas: destiny, cause and effect. If you did not buy a water bed, you would not have been late, you would have not met Scully, your whole life would have been different. If you could change fate, do something differently, are the things that are meant to be still happening? Can you change it? The main question is: how to end this in a different way, or should you?

Yes you can change the events, the girlfriend got killed ending the loop. But any other change from the others like Scully going to the bank instead of Mulder (Mulder has to go to the bank anyway in the end), or Mulder using the ATM machine because the girlfriend warned them (the ATM machine turns out to be out of order and Mulder goes into the bank), has little effect on the turn of events. They cannot tempt fate, they cannot change the turn of events. Only the girl remembering the loops appears to be able to do that, and then again, only with the help of Mulder once he starts to remember as well.

The main question is: how to end this in a different way? It appears that something went wrong in the mechanisms of the existence, something happened that was not supposed to happen. And that is why they keep reliving the day until things are right, that they are the way they are supposed to be. And that is: the girlfriend needs to die in the robbery. She is the only one remembering, she is the one supposed to die, she is the element that is wrong in the picture causing the time loop.

Mulder keeps repeating to himself: he's got a bomb, he's got a bomb, right before they blow up. Like in Star Trek he is trying to convey a message into the next loop. This is how for once they will avoid the explosion, because remembering that the guy's got a bomb brings back all the memory of the previous loops to Mulder.

Explanation of a déjà vu by Mulder: Some Freudians believe that the déjà vu phenomenon is a repressed memory escaping the unconscious. It represents a desire to have a second chance, to set things right. Scully’s explanation (more scientific): it's more likely that we are talking about neurochemistry, a glitch in the brain's ability to process recognition and memory. It does not mean that the memory is authentic. (They certainly did their research! An explanation that has nothing to do with physics to explain a time loop! Using psychoanalyst studies and medical science.) Then Mulder asks: “What if it was authentic memory, what if he was reliving the moment for real?” And in that case, none of the explanations given make sense. Because then it is not psychological and it cannot be explained by a glitch in the brain. Unless this whole episode was happening in the head of someone, in a dream.

What we can learn from this is that to explain the events from the point of view of science, you don’t need to have it spot on or really believable. Offering some explanations without them being plausible is also acceptable. This episode of the X-Files shows you that even without a sci-fi series you can have very interesting ideas borrowed from the sci-fi arena. And you don’t even have to explain or justify the events from a physics point of view.

Overall Comments

As you can see the idea is not new. Even Jett Jackson has its own Groundhog Day episode, but I have not seen it and I could not find an episode’s description on the Internet. The episode is called: The Perfect Day (Originally aired 12/29/2000), Season 3, Episode 17. Synopsis: Jett relives a miserable day, over and over, until he gets it right.

In Groundhog Day and the X-Files, it appears that fate, destiny and/or God are involved. Truly we cannot do this, we need to explain it in terms of physics. In Star Trek we have the perfect solution, but they are on a ship and they need the positronic brain of Data to get the message from the previous loop. They are also using subspace signals (signals travelling outside the fabric of space) and tachyon emissions (sending a message with tachyon particles means with particles going faster than the speed of light) in order to send a message in subspace where time is nor fixed nor linear. Clearly we cannot follow that course. In Stargate, again we are confronted with subspace fields that cannot be proven. Both subspace and tachyon particles are theoretical ideas very far from reality. So, we need something else.

In the X-files and Star Trek, a message needs to be sent into the next loop in order to prevent the explosion. In Stargate, since they know about the time loops and can remember events from one loop to the next, they only need to learn how to stop the machine in order to prevent the energy beam to cause the time loop. In Groundhog Day there are no such things. Bill Murray only needs to be a better person to win the woman and wake up outside of the loop.

Well, if in the real science temporal causality loop could happen, and I believe it could, then you would need to learn what will happen next, what is the cause of the loop in order to prevent it. Now, do you keep your memory or not? In theory you would not. Why would you? Everything goes back to how it was some time ago. The only way you could remember everything is if you keep my fourth solution described at the end. In solution 4 you could remember what has happened if the timeline was fluctuating and the frontier between past, present and future was not fixed in a linear time frame. You could still not remember anything and use solution 4.

Star Trek Voyager - Future's End
www.startrek.com/library/voy_episodes/episodes_voy_detail_68934.asp

In Star Trek Voyager there is an interesting episode called Future's End:
Season 3, episodes 50 and 51. Synopsis:

Episode 50 - The Voyager crew visits 20th-century Los Angeles to prevent a timeship from destroying the Earth's solar system in the 29th century.

The U.S.S. Voyager is fired upon by the 29th-century Federation "Timeship" Aeon commanded by Captain Braxton, who has time-traveled through a spatial rift to destroy Janeway's ship. Braxton claims that Voyager is responsible for a temporal explosion that will obliterate Earth's solar system in his era. Although equipped with only 24th-century technology, the crew manages to deflect Braxton's blasts and damage his ship, but then both the timeship and Voyager get sucked through the rift. The starship winds up in orbit around Earth in 1996.

Knowing Braxton's ship holds the key to returning to their own era, the crew begins searching for it, and an Away Team beams down to Los Angeles to investigate subspace readings that seem out of place in the 20th century. Meanwhile, at Griffith Observatory in the Hollywood Hills, astronomer Rain Robinson picks up Voyager's warp emission on her instruments and reports the finding to computer mogul Henry Starling, who funds her lab. Against Starling's instructions, Rain transmits a greeting to Voyager, and the crew tracks her to the Observatory. While Paris and Tuvok head for the site, Chakotay and Janeway identify a homeless man as Captain Braxton. He explains that he emerged from the time rift in 1967 and crash-landed in the desert, where a young Henry Starling found the timeship and utilized its technology to start a high-tech empire. Starling is now planning to use Braxton's vessel to time travel, and, according to Braxton, that will cause the explosion in the future.

Fearing that Rain is a security risk, Starling sends a henchman to kill her. But Paris and Tuvok spirit her away before she can be harmed. When Rain questions what they're up to, Paris tells her that they're secret agents tracking a Soviet KGB spy operation. She sees through his story, though, because the Soviet Union and the KGB no longer exist.

Chakotay and Janeway sneak into Starling's office, where they discover Braxton's timeship just as Starling walks in and confronts them. Janeway warns Starling not to launch the ship, explaining it will unleash disaster. Undaunted, Starling tries to kill Chakotay and Janeway, but they're transported to Voyager in the nick of time. They try to beam up the timeship, but Starling uses their transporter beam to access Voyager's computer and study its systems. Minutes later, the wily Starling steals the Doctor's program from Sickbay. To complicate things even further, Voyager's presence is disclosed on the evening news!

Episode 51 - The crew races against time to stop a 20th-century computer industrialist from causing a 29th-century disaster.

Janeway's attempts to beam up 20th-century computer mogul Henry Starling and the timeship in his possession are stymied because Voyager's long-range transporters aren't working. As a result, brilliant astronomer Rain Robinson lures Starling to a meeting where the crew hopes to hijack him. Starling shows up with the Doctor, whom he's supplied with a 29th-century portable holo-emitter that allows him to exist in environments without standard holographic emitters.

Having reconfigured the shields on a shuttlecraft to disguise it from 20th-century radar, Chakotay and Torres try to beam up Starling from the rendezvous. Starling has a device that interferes with the attempt, but Voyager is able to redirect the transporter signal to beam him directly to the starship. Unfortunately, Starling's attempt to disrupt the beam-out damages the shuttle's controls. It goes down in the desert, where Chakotay and Torres are taken hostage by a paramilitary group. Voyager traces the crash site to Arizona, and the Doctor and Tuvok travel there to find them.

On Voyager, Starling admits to Janeway that he wants to travel into the future to steal more advanced technology. Although Janeway thinks she's put an end to those plans, one of Starling's henchmen uses his scavenged 29th-century technology to transport Starling back to his office. Outside Starling's headquarters, Paris spots a truck that appears to be moving the timeship to another location. In Arizona, Tuvok and the Doctor manage to free Chakotay and Torres. Torres repairs the damaged shuttle, which they use to track the truck and destroy it. However, they discover the truck was a ruse; the timeship is back in Starling's office, and he's just launched it.

Retrieving Paris and Tuvok, the shuttle returns to Voyager, where Janeway hails Starling, who refuses to abort his mission. She has no choice but to destroy the timeship. Seconds later, a time rift opens and Braxton appears in his timeship. With his previous timeline altered by the destruction of Starling, this Braxton has come from the future to lead Voyager back to the 24th century, where it belongs. Janeway implores Braxton to place them at Earth, but Braxton cites the Temporal Prime Directive, which Janeway cannot argue with. Back in the Delta Quadrant, the crew finds that they've gained one particular advantage from their journey: the Doctor has retained the 29th-century mobile holo-emitter, freeing him from the confines of Sickbay.

Comments

Voyager - Future's End

Voyager is the cause of an accident that happened in the 29th century, but they are not really the cause. They were involved somehow. A cause "A" (Voyager gets involved) leads to a consequence "B" (they are thrown in the past in 1996 with the timeship) which leads to another result "C" (the timeship and Voyager go in the 29th Century and cause a temporal explosion destroying the planet). This brings us back to "A" because the timeline police with the timeship tries to stop Voyager to ever get involved, which gives Voyager the chance to get involved in the first place. Like a time loop Voyager would have created by getting involved in all of this.

The real question is: what was the cause of the explosion since Voyager would have not got involved in the first place if the timeline police had not gone back in the past to destroy Voyager before it can get involved? Something else, another cause originally created the explosion. And with the changes in time, Voyager became the cause by getting involved. That is an explanation. Or perhaps it is another one of those episodes about the effect can precede the cause (like in Star Trek Voyager Parallax and Time and Again, Season 1, episodes 3 & 4).

My point in all of this is that you need an initial cause to the effect, something that leads to an event that causes the loop. In time another event can become the cause, and that is what you would need to find out and prevent. In order to break the loop you will need to know about the new cause and the effect, then you could devise a plan. We are already very far from Groundhog Day.

Groundhog Day – Causality Loop

Overall Solutions

What could be our cause (in any of the four solutions described below)? An explosion, perhaps the explosion of a machine, or a science experience that went horribly wrong (getting mixed up with different liquids in order to create a nitroglycerin bomb or something similar). Then, you need to learn about that consequence and prevent it. Now, you could be prevented from preventing it (by fate or predestination) or you could easily do it once you get to know about it. How do you get to know about it? By sending a message into the next loop, intuition, guesses, déjà vu.

As for explaining how this is possible, an explosion creates a rupture in the space-time continuum bringing everything back to the way it was some time ago. But we can be more imaginative, like in Voyager, and involve time travel. By going in the past or the future, someone can actually create a cause that will create a time loop. Like Voyager receiving the visit of a timeship, which brings them in the past, then they go to the future and destroy everything. That leads the timeship from another timeline to go back to Voyager in order to prevent it from going in the past. Get your imagination running if you wish to create a time paradox like this!

Of course, if you just want someone to live his or her day all over again without getting too much involved in time paradoxes, you can just have what could be a natural phenomenon related to the weird things happening around the area.

And why would only one person or two persons remember the previous loops? Perhaps because they are more sensitive to the déjà-vu phenomenon. Or like in Stargate they were in the field of the beam that caused the time loop.

Solution 1 - It is not explained but it is happening

Someone wakes up remembering doing the same day over and over again and the others don't remember anything. Perhaps in time they will remember more (like in the X-Files) or they will never (like in Groundhog Day and Stargate). We don't know exactly how, we give some suppositions or hypothesis that you can find in all my previous comments, and eventually by doing something special you will break the loop. Something obvious, like trying to correct everything in order to make the day the perfect day (like in Jett Jackson). Or prevent something from happening that appears to be the cause or starting point of the loop.

Solution 2 - An explosion or something like a magnetic storm

An explosion or something else like a magnetic storm (or geomagnetic fields like in Stargate) creates a rupture in space and time (in the space-time continuum) creating the loop. Now you need to learn about the cause and the effect and prevent the explosion from causing the rupture (like in Star Trek - The Next Generation and the X-Files).

Note that if you don’t have someone remembering everything, like in Stargate, the X-Files and Groundhog Day, you will need someone more aware of the phenomena in order to get people to realize that they are in a time loop. In Star Trek it is Doctor Crusher who appears to be the most aware of the phenomena. She has clues to follow: Geordi’s Visor, feelings of déjà vu with her flowers, premonitions about which cards will come next at the poker game, and intuition about Riker’s bluff.

Solution 3 - Travel in the future, do something wrong, travel in the past to prevent the departure but causing that very departure (time paradox causality loop)

Someone goes in the future and there he does something (perhaps just by being there) that kills someone or destroys something (perhaps the planet like in Voyager). So now we need to prevent him from going in the future in the first place. How do you do this? You go back in the past but by going in the past, you create the cause of his departure. You open a vortex or something for him to go in the future. You need to find a way to prevent him from going in order to stop the time loop.

Note: this is not very Groundhog Day and could be another story all by itself. To make it more like Groundhog Day you could have many times your character going in the future and trying to prevent whatever it is he is causing. And you could have many times the people going in the past trying to stop his departure in the first place, trying different things every time but not succeeding in stopping him.

Solution 4 - A fluctuating timeline

So far I have only brought you what the others did and how you could do it. If I had to think of a solution myself though, I would have something much closer to reality and the relativity of Einstein. This does not need explosions, magnetic fields or time paradoxes.

It is a fluctuating timeline and the hypothesis to explain how the day can be repeating itself would go something like this: there is an obscure theory that states that the timeline is fluctuating due to the fact that we travel in space at different and relative speed each day. Depending on our speed and the gravity surrounding the Earth, time runs at different rates every seconds of our existence. Therefore the timeline is not as linear as we may have thought. The timeline could be fluctuating to such an extent that future events can happen before the present, and past events can happen in the future.

Therefore something we do in the future might have happened in the past and it has somehow caused a time loop in which we are trapped. This is why we usually have feelings of déjà vu, but this time it appears to be a very strong feeling, like if it was more than on a subconscious level. The question is: what is the cause of the time loop, why do we go back in time like this?

A reason could be that the gravity around the area is unusually strong. A ball falls faster than normal and the usual gravitational force of 9.8 Newton. A bit like if a wormhole was around here. As a consequence, when gravity reaches a certain point, we go back in time and relive the day.

For example, when gravity reaches a lighter level, bringing the gravity force back to normal (during the full moon), we go back in time and relive the day. Therefore something someone does in the present might be happening in the past because of the strong gravity forces that slow his time down considerably. And when the moon reaches the top, gravity sort of goes back to normal and he finds himself back in the past. If gravity gets lighter, if you could weight less, then you could free yourself and wake up the next day in a new day.

The timeline is not as linear as you may think, the future can actually happen in the past. The higher the gravity, the slower time goes. If gravity becomes super-high, then you could get stuck into the present and not move forward in time anymore.

The moon is important (but not essential) because the force of gravity exerted on your character is very high, keeping him in the present with no way of moving forward. When the moon reaches its peak, gravity is lighter and this is how the Loop happens, he goes back into the past (his present moves back into the past).

We need to find out where the gravity is coming from and prevent it from reaching the point when the loop starts again. It could be a huge Vortex opened somewhere and we could close it with an energy device. Instead of a wormhole or a vortex, it could also be a meteorite fallen from the sky, exhibiting strange gravitational forces. You could just find a weird rock made of an unknown metal that is very heavy and a lot of gravity could emanate from it. That could be the problem about too much gravity. You could then just have to get that rock out of here. Arrange to have it send in the polar caps or at the bottom of the ocean, or the US government could come and pick it up in order to study it further and then we would get rid of the rock and gravity will be back to normal, stopping the day from happening over and over again. Letting you to wonder if those government officials know what they are getting into and if they will take appropriate actions to make certain they will not get trapped into a time loop themselves.

When gravity is high, people should feel heavier, weight heavier and that should affect their mood as well.

The Moon gravitational pull influencing the timeline

Another solution to the cause of the time loop could be that there is a full moon and strange things happen on a full moon. In this case, the gravity is less than usual and affects the timeline, making things done in the present affect the future and the past. It is that very thing that someone does during the full moon that needs to be prevented. So the future or the past will not be changed and there would be no time loops trapping us.

Check this website, it shows you the Moon phases for each day of the month: http://www.googol.com/moon/

How to end the loop?

Now you want to explain how this loop ends. Well, if you look carefully at the website mentioned above, the Moon phases slowly turning to full and getting smaller again last a few days. Perhaps the day could be repeating itself, but the Moon could change like if it was a normal Moon phase. It would show that time is somehow distorted and a different "same day" is not exactly the same since the Moon would change a little bit every day. The loop would finish as the Moon gets smaller. I think this would be perfect.

So in theory, the day would have not repeated itself forever, only for the few days that the Moon was influencing the timeline. Once the Moon does not have a significant effect anymore on the gravity here on Earth, the normal gravitational force of 9.8 Newton will be back to normal, as well for the apparent linearity of the timeline. The Moon phases remained normal. The days are not exactly the same, somehow the Moon affects the gravity and the timeline in an unusual way. There is a way out of this time loop once the full Moon is gone. (And then, even though it will take a few more “same days” as the Moon becomes smaller, the theory is still OK. It is just that the Moon, even though is not full, still has a strong gravitational pull on the Earth).

Mind and Mood Influencing the Timeline

In certain solutions, your character must influence reality around him, he must be the cause of the loop. In which case the whole universe could be imagined from one mind’s point of view. The gravity that is too high and gets you back in time could be the gravity surrounding your own mind because your mood is really too deep, it affects your surrounding universe.

That is why sometimes the Déjà Vu phenomena is about very strong events like accident, death of someone close to you, or the Titanic that hundreds of people foresaw. They were events heavy in consequences and in our minds, that could be part of the shift back in the past. And they are highly localized events, like if the gravity needed to foresee the future and create a time fluctuation (future happening before the past) was instead closer to our brain or in our minds.

And the way to break the loop would be to alleviate the mood, the negativity, the deepness and heaviness of the day and how it affects you mentally. This solution does not need the gravity of a big body like a wormhole. And the full moon could help to alleviate some of the gravity affecting all this if necessary (but it is not necessary). If you use the full moon, perhaps it can always stay full until your character realizes the influence of the full moon, and then the next day once outside the loop, the moon would be smaller.

In this case, whatever your character does, it has to have an effect on the loop. He must somehow control the loop just by his actions. So basically, the more he keeps it the way reality should be, the more he will get out of the loop. Of course he might want the reality to be something else, keeping him in the loop. At this stage, an explanation you could give on top of everything as to how his action might influence the whole thing is what they used in the X-File: destiny, fate, predestination.

Unless somehow his mood, his negativity, was connected with the actual distortion of the space-time continuum. Like if he was ultimately in a dream but affecting everyone around him. We don't know exactly how, we give some suppositions or hypothesis like somehow his moods and emotions are so strong, they are somehow affecting the timeline. Perhaps it adds to the gravity around him, it destroys the right balance of energy or gravity around and it causes the loop.

No need for the moon or artificial gravity field like a wormhole

These are only some ideas, the loop could still end with something else then the moon phases, and the cause of the loop could also be something else than the gravitational pull of the Moon or a wormhole.

Again, here is how you would explain living the same day over and over again: The timeline is always fluctuating since we travel in space at different and relative speeds each day. Depending on our speed and the gravity surrounding the Earth, time runs at different rates every seconds of our existence. Therefore the timeline is not as linear as we may have thought. The timeline could be fluctuating to such an extent that future events can happen before the present. Therefore something we do in the future might have happened in the past and it has somehow caused a time loop in which we cannot get out of.

This is sufficient in itself, you don’t need the moon or another gravitational force on Earth. In fact, the gravity that somehow wrecks the timeline is perhaps in space and the result of a natural cause, more or less gravity suddenly exerted on the Earth, affecting our speed in space. In that case stopping the loop has nothing to do with the moon passing by or closing a wormhole around or any other gravity field. It would have something to do with changing your behavior right to the point of causing the causality loop. You need to find the cause to the effect and prevent it. For example, if you do something in the future that is somehow moved to the past, changing the behavior of some other people that will lead you to do that very action creating a time loop, you need to prevent that key action that creates the causality loop.

There is an interesting episode about that in Star Trek the Next Generation, it is called Time Squared:

Star Trek - The Next Generation
Time Squared - Season 2, Episode 139 (13)
www.startrek.com/library/tng_episodes/episodes_tng_detail_68384.asp

Synopsis: When the U.S.S. Enterprise encounters a Federation shuttlecraft cartwheeling out of control through space, the starship pulls it into the shuttle bay.

Riker discovers that the shuttlecraft belongs to the U.S.S. Enterprise, and Dr. Pulaski finds an unconscious double of Picard inside. Captain Picard accompanies his double to sickbay, where Troi explains that the double really is Picard, but from another time. Data tells Picard that the shuttle's on-board clock shows it to be just six hours ahead of the U.S.S. Enterprise.

Scenes taken by the shuttle camera as it departed show the U.S.S. Enterprise surrounded by a whirlpool of energy. The double, frightened and confused in a nightmare world of his own, is unable to convey any information about the impending danger, and a scan of the area reveals nothing similar to the force filmed by the shuttle camera. Picard begins to doubt himself and worries that the judgment he made, as his double in the future, may have left him and his crew in a never-ending cycle of torment.

Suddenly, the whirlpool is upon them. Picard orders Geordi to take the U.S.S. Enterprise away at warp speed, but when it is unable to move, the U.S.S. Enterprise is forced to shut down before it is torn apart by the strain. The whirlpool lashes a tongue of energy which strikes each Picard, leading Troi to explain to Picard that the energy only wants him. Learning of his double's resolve to again leave the ship, Picard decides that they will never be able to move forward until the cycle is broken. He orders the U.S.S. Enterprise to charge directly into the vortex. After a tense moment, the double, the shuttle and the whirlpool disappear, leaving the Enterprise alone and on course again.

Comments
Star Trek – Time Squared

As you can see, even though they are not mentioning anything like in my solution 4, they still managed to create a similar time loop. Something happens in the future that makes Captain Picard to get out alone in a shuttle, making him the only survivor of a big explosion in which the Enterprise is destroyed. That explosion appears to have created a time loop, also the fact that they are again in a strange area of space, bringing the Picard of the future to the Enterprise hours before it is destroyed. They are caught in a causality loop because Picard still goes out of the ship. It is the only way, it is believed, to save the Enterprise, because there are two of him on the ship, bringing instability to the space-time continuum. Only by killing one of the Picard can they finally escape the time loop.

Something remains unanswered: if the problem right now is the fact that there are two Picard, what was the original cause of the problem? Why would Picard leave the ship the very first time? Another cause was at the origin, and in those cases, you don’t need to mention what that other cause was, it is no longer important. You could not know anyway, your characters could not find out. It is the source of the paradox that can easily be explained. Something else made Picard get out of the ship the first time. We don’t know what, but in the second and subsequent loops, it is the presence of Picard on the ship that is now the cause that makes Picard leave the ship. Sometimes the cause of time paradoxes is when an initial cause has been replaced by another one.

Like the ship Voyager going into the future with the other timeship in order to blow up the planet. Since this is the event that leads the timeship to go get Voyager, how could Voyager be involved in the explosion in the first place? Something else caused that explosion originally. Somehow, when changing the timelines to prevent the explosion, it was necessary to go get Voyager. This is how Voyager got involved and even became the cause of the explosion with the timeship, creating the time loop.

Another example, someone invents a time machine and goes in the past with his time machine. Someone steals his time machine, goes in the future and kills the inventor before he invents his time machine. So, how can the time machine exist, who invented it? Simple, the time machine has been invented by our guy on a certain timeline. When he was killed, this has created a new timeline that does not cancel the original one. He is still the inventor, but to find out about it you would need to understand all the different timelines and that may be almost impossible.

Three Time Jump Events
With Three Witnesses
By Ted Tweitmeyer
3-4-8

TIME JUMP EVENT 1

I received the following email from a lady named Linda who lives in Rochester, Minnesota. In a telephone interview with her on Feb. 29, 2008 a number of interesting facts came to light. During the telephone interview Linda came across as a highly intelligent, mature and rational individual who has at least one adult child which she spoke about. Linda has given me permission to relate two time jump events in this report. Her email message to me is shown below exactly as I received it (minus her personal information):

****

Ted,

Feb. 29th, 2008 at 11:00:10 am CST I experienced a strange thing. I got in a car accident. It was so weird because it was like a jump in time and space I was not at intersection and then suddenly in the middle of the intersection colliding with another vehicle. I can't explain it but it was so weird that I went online and found your website. My question is was there anything that happened on 2-29-2008 at 11:00:10 am CST? The officer at the accident said that there were several accidents all that happened at the same time and she thought it was weird.

Linda

****

Linda provided me her telephone number and I called her to obtain more information. (Note - I do not normally telephone readers.) In the telephone interview with Linda, several new facts were revealed about her experiences on Feb. 29, 2008 which I'll summarize below:

* Her husband is a software engineer with a Fortune 1000 computer company. A computer he was working on was unplugged from the wall at the time of her accident and was also disassembled.

* Late in the afternoon, her husband plugged in the computer he had rebuilt and turned it on. The clock on the screen had the correct time before it was disassembled, which it should now be showing on the screen. Computer motherboards continue to keep time for many years by using a small lithium battery mounted on the motherboard. However, when the computer was turned on again the screen clock displayed exactly 11:00AM. This was the WRONG time it was SLOW by about 5 HOURS.

--- The computer's clock was displaying the EXACT time of the accident 11:00AM. ---

If the computer's clock chip had stopped functioning, wasn't properly initialized, was reset because of a dead battery, then it would have probably displayed 12:00AM. Technically, the chances that the clock would show 11:00AM are no less than 1 out of 1,440.

* At the time of the accident Linda called 911 on her cell phone. An officer who responded to the accident scene stated that they had a number of car accidents like this around the city that day, all occurring at about the same time. This same officer told also told Linda that it was very strange this was happening.

* Linda also experienced some other after-effects of her apparent time jump. This is a common problem experienced by many involved in time jump events.

A BRIEF SUMMARY

Both Linda's strange accident and her husband's experience on the same day appear to further support for an actual time jump. One might dismiss her accident as the result of being preoccupied and not paying attention to driving. However, I find this is unlikely for two important reasons:

Linda has owned her new car for just 5 days. Adults are particularly careful when driving their new vehicle for many months to come.

Events of her husband's experience with the computer's clock appear to connect with Linda's experience at the same date and time of the vehicle accident she had for reasons that remain unexplained.

A number of days prior to the vehicle accident, men from Homeland Security had paid Linda's husband a visit. They used a story about checking out their former neighbor, but then these same men also spent some time looking in and around her husband's vehicle. They did not talk to any of the other neighbors but simply left. The question arises were these men actually from Homeland Security, or from a covert government agency sizing them up for a time experiment or a test of a new weapon? There is a known history for more than fifty years of the government selecting people at random for "experiments."

Prior to Feb. 29th, one of Linda's car keys came up missing. Her purse was stolen from her LOCKED vehicle, then according to police, "it was found in a snow-bank." Yet no valuables were stolen from the purse. A missing vehicle key was later found placed on top of the dashboard.

WAS LINDA AND HER HUSBAND TEST SUBJECTS FOR A NEW WEAPON?

Facts about this event may be evidence that a new powerful weapon has been developed to alter space-time in a confined area. It may be that Linda and her husband were among those chosen pseudo- randomly to be unwilling participants in a field test. It may be a new quantum weapon. Some of the other drivers around the city who had accidents on Feb. 29th, 2008 may have been part of an experimental test as well, and this may have been the actual cause of many other vehicle accidents. The rare appearance by agents of Homeland Security adds additional credence to this possibility. Is it possible everything in Linda's time jump story is mere coincidence? After listening to consistent, intelligent and complete answers while interviewing Linda I feel she is a credible witness. She did not hesitate to answer any of my questions with rational, complete answers. It also appears that the incident her husband experienced was also real.

TIME JUMP EVENT 2

A few years ago, Linda was in a ramp garage and they were looking for a parking space. After driving up a couple levels in the garage they came upon a truck with a number of bumper stickers which they were trying to read. At the corner of one turn there was a nice blue sports car which was backed into a parking spot. Linda stated that the license plate was an easy one for her to remember. I will use the generic name "Jones" here to protect the vehicle owner's identity, although the actual name was that of a celestial body in our solar system.

Linda stated, "I remembered this sports car and its license plate because I thought my husband would look good driving it."

They continued driving upward to another level looking for a parking spot. There on the next level in exactly the same parking spot, was the same blue sports car again with the same license plate. Astounded at seeing this again, they quickly went back down one level to look for the car. The car wasn't there, and neither was the truck with the stickers.

What happened? Did they make a wrong turn, or see a glimpse into the future of a car parked up on the next level above?

ALTERED PHOTO TIME JUMP EVENT 3

Kevin Smith is a highly trained reliable witness, former police officer and radio show host. He was sent around the world to train and set up police departments. This part of the report is given with Kevin's permission. He too, is a fellow explorer into the unknown depths of the universe.

On March 1st 2008 I spoke to Kevin off-air about a moon photo. Recently, NASA had obtained new images of the Moon's South Pole using a new radar technique by using NASA's Goldstone radio- telescope array configured as a high resolution radar system:

Radar image from NASA's website at original size downloaded on March 2nd 2008. NASA's image name is "New radar imagery of the lunar south pole" [3]

The photo below shows a close-up of a "+" shaped structure in the center of a large crater (red arrow) which appears to be of artificial construction:

Above photo shows a structure in a crater at the South Pole of the Moon. I have added the red and blue arrows to Kevin's original photo shown here. [1]

There are visible in the above image a number of objects, some of which are semi-circular in shape. Some of these objects can be seen just to the left of the "+" structure near the center of the crater. Even more remarkable is that literally overnight, an almost perfect blackened square of pixels appeared (see red arrow) that was NOT present when Kevin first obtained the image from NASA on the afternoon of March 1st 2008, the black square was not present. There are also artifacts visible in this image that may be the result of JPEG image compression. These are indicated by blue arrows and are not the result of image editing. However, these video artifacts are not the issue here.

Just a few hours later on the evening of March 1st 2008, Kevin noticed that the black square had appeared at the base of the "+" object. When I asked Kevin if he had looked at other image files to confirm these also had changed, he stated that these images had also changed as well. Kevin noted that this event reminded him of what I observed with the Spirit and Opportunity rover sundials, which I wrote about on rense.com a short time ago and discussed on Kevin's radio show. This incident with the rovers was also another "past changed event" when the sundial on each rover suddenly displayed a gear-like structure around the base of each sundial post that was NOT present in original images.

Sundial images from Mars and Earth originally did not show the gear- like object.

These images were obtained in 2005 from both NASA and University of Cornell file servers. In that case of time alteration, all digital copies of my book with images of the sundial, as well as printed copies of the book were all changed too. Three other witnesses familiar with the sundial's design also testified to me that the sundial did not originally have this gear-like structure.

It appears that someone traveled back in time and altered reality. In the case of the crater on the Moon, perhaps either the original image was altered by NASA to hide something after Kevin brought it to public attention - or something else was changed backward in time at the structure on the Moon. This alteration would need to take place before the radar image was taken in the first place, hence the alteration which suddenly appeared in the radar image.

OTHER SUPPORTING DATA EXISTS

Some time ago, a part of my research included examining images from an imaging satellite named Clementine. Some of the images the satellite captured were of the South Pole on the Moon. Clementine was sent to the moon in the mid-1990s to image and map the entire surface. From my data archives I have extracted an image from a much larger NASA Clementine image which shows the same crater as that in Kevin's recent radar image.

Note - the NASA website "www.starbase.jpl.nasa.gov" no longer exists from which the Clementine photo was downloaded. This is an interesting website URL to say the least.

Below is a side by side comparison I have made of Kevin's radar image with another image from the Clementine survey satellite. Keep in mind that the radar image (below, left) is claimed by NASA to have a resolution of 20 meters/pixel, while the Clementine image on the right has a resolution of 200 meters/pixel. Therefore there will be differences in the level of detail we see in each image:

RECENT NASA RADAR IMAGE [1] CLEMENTINE SATELLITE IMAGE [2]

Explanation of added graphics

* Orange circled areas show two reference points to be sure this is the correct crater in the Clementine image:
1. In the lower left corner, we see that there is smaller crater's rim which touches the larger crater. The straight-sided geometry along part of the top edge of the smaller crater (orange circle, lower left corner) matches in both images.
2. The top of both images (orange circle near center-top) have what appears to be a feature similar like a valley or road. There is little doubt that both of these images are of the same crater.

* Yellow boxed area in the higher resolution radar map on the left, we see what appears to be a chain of small objects. This isn't likely to be a resolution issue with the radar image like a form of pixilation taking place, because of the high 20 meters/ pixel resolution. In the Clementine photo these separate objects appear as one darkened line.

* White arrow points to what appears to be a defect in the digital Clementine image. This is similar to a defect in a photographic print, such as the result of a damaged photographic negative. However, this image was supposedly obtained only in digital form.

With all of this established, we can now focus on the "+" structure in the center of the crater. BOTH images have the same orientation Lunar North and South. I did not rotate either image. The radar image appears slightly stretched vertically. However, the structure in the center of the crater is not angularly oriented the same in both images. How the angular placement of the '+" object could change is unknown. That is, unless it isn't a building but instead it's a movable object.

KEVIN'S PHOTO DEFECT THAT APPEARED OVERNIGHT

If we enlarge both images equally by 150%, the blackened area appears to be more than large enough to be within the resolution of the Clementine image. And yet we do NOT see this same black area on the older Clementine image:

SUMMARY

To be able to find actual photographic evidence like this showing an alteration in time is a first that I know of for an object like this. The difference in angular orientation of this structure in the bottom of the crater between the two images remains unexplained. However, the blackened area pointed to by the red arrow indicates what changed overnight.

In the case of the auto accident described earlier, we know that this also happened. The computer's motherboard clock was apparently somehow frozen at the same time of the accident, as indicated by the time displayed when the machine was turned on again some hours later.

WHY WE CAN SEE THINGS CHANGE IN TIME

Our human minds exist OUTSIDE of space-time because they are non- physical. Because of this, we know what the actual past history of anything familiar to us is supposed to be. Everything including images in computers and everything else which is physical all around us will be instantly altered, if someone returns to the past and changes an object. These examples in this report and other examples, have given us an important breakthrough in physics. Time travel is also a scary technology, because tinkering with time can have, and will have, completely unexpected consequences. If computer modeling is being trusted to predict every known possibility, it will be found to be imperfect. In the end it will ultimately be disastrous.

Contemporary physics theory states that changing the past does not change the future, but will only create a new timeline. Examples presented in this report prove this theory is certainly not true. We have already seen that a change in the past instantly changes our present. Time changes will subsequently change the future as well in ways which are impossible to predict or model in any computer.

The mere fact that I've connected these and other time events together will create unforeseen changes, hopefully for the better. We must not doubt ourselves or anything we see change in the reality which is all around us. Just because we cannot explain something changed in the present certainly does not mean that it cannot happen. Incidents in this report and other on-going examples not covered here show us that reality may not really be what it appears to be.

There are additional observations on time changes and jumps from other witnesses. When Data4Science.net website completes the addition of a special section on time jumps and time shifts, these and other events will also be revealed.

More Evidence Of
Possible Time Jumps
By Ted Twietmeyer
2-24-8

Readers may be aware of my previous reports regarding fairly well- timed, complex pulses of X-rays from our Sun. On February 22, 2008 I examined the timing relationship between X-ray, electron and magnetic activities as observed by NOAA satellites. Some very interesting facts came to light as a result of doing so.

The NOAA proton activity chart is difficult to use for this work and was not included. Proton measurements are essentially high frequency noise. Finding clearly defined, fixed proton flux levels over short periods of time is just not possible using NOAA data as it is provided.

It is also important to use existing NOAA data exactly as it is provided to prevent introduction of extraneous errors. One relatively minor error was found when using magnetic field data as NOAA provides it, and this will be discussed later.

Partial confirmation of my time jump theory requires evidence of other temporarily frozen activity, such as particle and magnetic field levels. To do this, I compiled a composite chart with the best temporal alignment possible as shown below:

CHART EXPLANATION

I apologize for the apparent complexity of this chart which cannot be helped. To assist the reader not familiar with what this compiled chart means, an explanation is provided here.

Three small, oval yellow circled areas on the top chart segment show missing data on the red plot line. The red plot line represents 1.0 to 8 Angstrom X-ray activity detected by the NOAA GOES 10 satellite. Missing data appears as small gaps in the red line. Reasons for these gaps are not yet known. On February 22 I had a discussion with a long time, highly reliable friend of mine also with a long history of engineering NASA systems and ties to the space agency. He stated that recently NASA recently stated they have no idea what's going on with the satellite. They are not sure whether it's malfunctioning or not.

It is also interesting that these gaps in the red plot line for the longer X-ray wavelengths have occurred almost precisely 24 hours apart. Common sense tells us that satellite malfunction from a failing part as a result of thermal stress or other typical failure modes would not cause this to happen in such an accurately timed manner. The GOES 10 satellite is always in direct sunlight and is not shadowed by the Earth. If the GOES 10 was shadowed periodically every 24 hours by any celestial body or even an asteroid, both red and blue X-ray plot lines would be straight lines during this period. One might also expect a straight to occur if ground equipment recording data was being replaced or the signal was re-routed but not three times in a row, neatly spaced apart. No, something else is happening here.

Since the red plot line has remained a flat line for more than a week, it may indicate several possibilities. Some of which are:

Longer X-ray wavelengths from the Sun really have essentially dropped to almost zero (?)
The X-ray detector for this wavelength aboard the spacecraft has stopped working reliably. The red plot line has not been observed to go flat like this by this researcher in more than 10 years of observing these charts. But then neither has the blue plot line been near the bottom of the chart remained like this for such a long time.
Data for the longer X-ray wavelength (red line) is off the chart, from events which spiked so high or low that the event is off the chart's scale. Since the blue line for shorter X-ray wavelengths has also shown extended lower X-ray levels, it would seem unlikely that the plotted data for longer X-ray wavelengths has spiked off the top of the chart.

As we can see in the center chart, electron flux normally runs in a sinusoidal (sine wave) pattern similar to the same way all human beings breathe. Along with the magnetic flux and electron flux from the sun appear to track in phase with each other . Perhaps the sine wave is a basic signature of a life cycle. One complete sine wave cycle on the Sun appears to have a 24 period. I don't know of any scientist that has determined why this occurs, but perhaps it has something to do with the rotation of the Earth involving a complex relationship with the Earth's rotation. This on-going sine wave historically has appeared to run almost continuously and might even be the result of the Earth's rotation. Is it merely a coincidence that it has a 24 hour cycle?

UNEXPECTED ERROR

Compiling this data into one chart resulted in an unexpected error. Vertical white date lines provided by NOAA for each chart aligned fairly well with the top two charts. However, there is a slight horizontal linearity problem with the magnetometer chart as provided by NOAA (bottom segment.) In light of this, the pair of yellow dashed lines can only illustrate approximate temporal (time) alignment for the three measured energies for the date of February 20. There is a similar slight misalignment for Feb. 22, too.

OTHER OBSERVATIONS

I have added vertical solid yellow pairs of lines to indicate segments of time where the wave activity appears to essentially "freeze" at whatever level it is currently at, for three hours or less. This appears as a horizontal line in each chart, instead of displaying the usual sloped or changing energy levels. Looking at the chart plots between the yellow lines for each flux level demonstrates this effect. If electron and X-ray show a constant intensity, then it's quite logical that the visible white light level we see with the naked eye could also freeze at whatever level it might be at for that period of time. However, it's quite difficult to make such an observation on Earth to detect this unless:

A calibrated light meter is used which is not saturated in sunlight, connected to a computer or a data acquisition system
This test is done on an absolutely sky-blue clear day with no clouds or haze
No chemtrails have been sprayed for several days
You would need to have the above conditions present throughout each full day.
Needless to say, finding a place to meet all these conditions on Earth is very difficult to say the least.

In the center of the frozen waveforms, there appears to be a small "blip" in the magnetic field (see bottom chart) while the other energy levels hold almost constant.

Note that these temporarily frozen energy levels do not imply that the Sun simply "stopped working" for those frozen periods of time. An hour without sunlight would have panicked half the people of Earth who were in daylight in the western hemisphere if the Sun simply went black and "came on" again. For the other half of the world on the night side, the full Moon and partial full Moon at night on these dates would appear to black out and come on again as though it was switched off and back on again. Of course, none of this happened.

Why do these energy levels suddenly freeze and then start varying again? It's not likely to be the result of the "Solar Heartbeat" which is known to have a 16 month cycle. Perhaps one answer is that a time jump took place. During a time jump, it may be that everything freezes at whatever energy level it's at during the jump. Perhaps this isn't just a phenomenon of the Earth jumping. Maybe this jump involves our entire Solar system, or perhaps the entire galaxy or universe. Astronomers would most likely just laugh at this idea but then they also laughed at Galileo and many others like him, too.

If our solar system, galaxy or universe has time jumped it could be the biggest discovery of all time. Perhaps this is the result of a black hole being destroyed, which sends out a time wave for many light years. It's well known that the event horizon of a black hole would cause serious distortions to space and time. A time wave may not have distance limitations, and the effect could be almost instantaneous.

HELP FROM THE STARS

It would be wonderful if there was a technology that could allow us to monitor just one or two other stars at the same time we monitor our Sun for electron, X-ray and magnetic activity, it could give us more conclusive evidence. There is one such technology - the Chandra X-ray satellite and others owned by NASA. Launched many years ago, Chandra and other science satellites might provide the needed data to prove my theory. To do this requires an accurate knowledge of the exact distance from the star to the telescope to take a time shift into account.

In theory, X-rays travel at the speed of light. Calculating for certain the exact distance to the nearest star is not a trivial undertaking. Just thirty years ago, everyone thought Alpha Centauri was the closest star at about 100 light years from Earth. Now it's believed the closest star to Earth is about 5 light years away. So which is it - and how do we KNOW the answer is accurate? If it is 5 light years and we could aim a space X-ray telescope at this star five light years away, record the data, and then look back at the data from the GOES 10 spacecraft five years ago and compare it, hopefully with a one hour resolution.

To compare satellite X-ray data from other stars from other areas of our universe to X-ray data from our Sun is no small undertaking. If there is any background X-rays from our sun in the X-ray data observed from distant stars, it could strangely render the distant star data both useless and perhaps valuable all at the same time. It might be useless from a science point of view if our Sun contaminates the data sets.

But at the same time, it could also be valuable as it might show a coincidence of X-ray data freezing at the same time it occurs on distant stars. However, electron and magnetic energies which NOAA satellites monitor are not observable at such long distances from other stars using our current technology. X-ray observations may remain our best option for this into the foreseeable future.

Time jumps could explain some of the phenomena we see with world weather and unexplained repeats of events in real life. The question is will these jumps continue and if so, will they get reduce in magnitude or become worse?

Only time will tell.

Possible Time Jump?
Solar X-Rays Momentarily Drop To Zero
By Ted Twietmeyer
2-19-8

Something interesting is happening with our Sun. X-Rays are a well known product of the fusion process which is what our Sun is. It appears that on more than one occasion, X-ray emission levels have dropped to incredibly low levels - if not virtually down to zero. Up until now, I have not discussed very much about this observation in previous solar reports. This has recently appeared sporadically in other X-ray charts, even though I've not specifically mentioned it recently. Another virtual "zero X-ray event" apparently has occurred again, according to two NOAA instruments measuring two different X-Ray wavelengths on one satellite (see red arrow below.)

The red horizontal plotted line above indicates the X-ray levels for longer wavelength X-rays in the 1.0 Angstrom to 8 Angstrom spectrum, while the blue plot line shows the shorter wavelength X- rays in the 1.0 Angstrom to 8 Angstrom spectrum. This is a rolling continuous chart which slowly scrolls right to left, and is updated every 5 minutes. The white arrow points to a small blip in X-ray emissions sensed by GOES 10 longer wavelength X-rays. This blip moves the plot above the zero level, shortly after midnight Universal time on Feb. 18. It also provides us a small indication that the instrument for that wavelength is still functioning. To date, I have not heard anything about any instrument failures aboard the GOES 10. Normally both instruments show almost the same plots. Note that both instruments are located in the same GOES 10 satellite, so both will be at essentially exactly the same point in space.

Tick marks on the graph are at three hour intervals. About six hours after both wavelengths dropped to virtual zero, we see it happen yet again but for a much shorter period of time lasting only for a matter of minutes. In my past studies on this and other observed phenomena, this could be indicative of an Earth time jump taking place. The affects of time jumps apparently occur in pairs, similar to what we see here. Although time jumps often happen faster than humans can sense them, they can affect the sun by altering its output. (See the website below for people's personal observations on slower localized time jumps.)

The affect of a time jump on the Sun is similar to throwing a stone in a calm pond the stone quickly disappears from sight but ripples continue for a long time afterward. Everything in our solar system is connected in some way, and the Earth is held in orbit by an "invisible tether" commonly described as a warp in space-time resulting from the Sun's gravitational field. What would happen if that space-time warp is suddenly disturbed by a momentary absence of the Earth? Of course, no one has been able to observe this happen. But it just might be that our Sun shows the effect of time jumps like ripples in a pond.

In the Bible, Time is Reversed

2009-03-14T09:38:00.000-07:00

“‘In the Bible, time is reversed,’ said Steinsaltz, noting an odd quirk in the original Hebrew text of the Old Testament. ‘The future is always written in the past tense, and the past is always written in the future tense.’ … ‘Here, in Isaiah, it says that you need to look backwards to see the future,’ he said. ‘‘Where Isaiah says, ‘Tell the things that are to come hereafter,’ you can translate the same words to read, ‘They told the future backwards.’’”

Fragments of Time and 9-11

As was discussed in the previous article, "Fractions within Time Frames," the fractional frames are the frames between whole numbered frames--and even other fractional frames (i.e. two or more decimal points)--that are often omitted to save space in the overall speed of time. The fractional frames are usually deleted from an individual’s main memory source because of their redundancy or seemingly lack of value. That does not necessarily mean the fractional frames are completely gone however.

The “omission of fractional frames” could be similar to the act of placing rarely used information onto another portion of a partitioned hard drive. For example, the whole numbered frames (and possibly some fractional frames) might be stored on the C drive. But as the brain continually performs its’ defragmenting program, the bulk of the fractional frames is put into a lesser known part of the D drive.

Therefore, omitting fractional frames may not be a permanent deletion from the overall time. However subtle the differences are--from one minute to the next--does not mean that the fractional frames can be considered spam. And to forget those fractional frames by considering them as wasteful news may prove to be impossible.

Those so-called deleted memories remain as fragmented files and become like the white noise between clear comprehensive radio frequencies. It may sound unintelligible but the signal is certainly audible. Many people have attributed the white noise to be signs of parallel dimensions, paranormal, aliens, etc. Some researchers of Princeton’s Global Consciousness Project may even agree with me in venturing to say that the white noise is the pulse of the collective mind.

There seems to be a direct correlation to what is herein referred to as "Fractional Frames" and what is often called "Dark Matter" or "Dark Energy." Those expansion points in Time (as will be mentioned below in regards to the events on 9-11) are integral to the continuing understanding of dark matter and dark energy in their base states. To read more and view simple diagrams on this subject, click here.

Fractional Frames and 9-11:

Because of the routine nature of our lives, much of our daily rhythms are accomplished by simple repetitive behavior. The details contained in our fractional-framed environment usually go unnoticed as we slip into a mode of averages. If it were not for calendars and terrorists attacks, whole groups of people may live and die without making an indention on the collective memory.

Our lives—on the whole—have been forced into becoming mundane seeking a “norm” rather than noticing the details within the frames we live in. Because, much of the “common” information is considered “spam” in today’s society, the mind has slipped into sleep mode and requires very loud alarms before it pays attention. The peaks and valleys necessary to stir up our consciousness, therefore, have had to increase in order to tip the scales of our awareness.

For example, up until the day of 9-11, people got up, got dressed, went to work, came home, ate, watched TV and went to bed. However, on the morning of 9-11, people recounted that “time” seemed to go into slow motion. Nearly every American can remember “where they were at and what they were doing” when they heard the news. Many may be able to relate what they were wearing or what they ate for breakfast that morning. Yet ask them about the day before. “What did you wear to work on Monday, September 10th?” Does anyone remember?

Like details of clothing on the day before 9-11, the fractional frames of our existence have slipped into a collective sea of amnesia creating a heartbeat for the earth. Although, forgetfulness is, technically, not a bad thing, it is certainly not all that man is capable of becoming.

In a metaphysical view, humanity churns like waves in an ocean. And our bodies have become merely seashells that contain an ancient roar. To evolve, mankind must gather the treasures that hide within the “norm.” In doing so, consciousness is elevated on the whole and individually. Additionally, if trends continue, the balance of Mother Nature will create higher swells in order to push her children out of the nest.

During this time in earth changes and upheavals, it is becoming more crucial than ever to “remember to remember.” The shifting of the magnetic poles--and global consciousness—is causing anomalies, such as a tremendous peak in Alzheimer's cases, depression and other forms of dementia.

Even as I write, it is disheartening to know that very few people pay attention. I would get a better approval rating--and a larger audience--if the message was introduced with the comment: “the Archangel Michael channeled this knowledge through me.” That is the very type of silliness which people would prefer, rather than focusing on their own surroundings. But people are simply “bored.” It is high time that we pull ourselves out of the sea and into the see.

Torah and Time Fragments:

Religion aside, the Torah is probably the most mathematically sound document in existence. It has been a wealth of knowledge to the likes of Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. Because of its’ scientific strength mathematically, it is an excellent document to examine while studying “time.”

This topic corresponds with another portion of this website, which charts the ending verse numbers in each chapter and book in Torah. The chart was designed to show an easy-to-read guide to the trends, abnormalities, “peaks and valleys,” etc. within Torah.

Because of people’s proclivity to overlook many key areas within their plain sight, investigating a coded text—such as Torah—seems like too much of a burden. Understanding this, a chart was created to highlight the most important parts, kind of like the Cliff’s notes version.

Aside from simply illuminating fundamental areas, the chart could be used as a method to display predictive patterns, such as in numbers, dates, major events, or necessary information.

Torah is widely known to contain both simple and complex codes, for example, the “Torah Codes” or “Bible Codes.” (Yet, this method—chart here--is completely separate in design.)

Fractions within Time Frames

“Fractions within Time Frames”
By MElissa R. CodY

In the making of movies, the film is made up of thousands of still photos. Each picture depicts a certain moment in time. The still shots are called “frames.” The appearance of motion is produced when the frames are viewed in rapid succession.

Also, in filmmaking, duplicate frames are omitted to save “time.” And too, frames can be duplicated, in order to show emphasis. These omissions and additions in the frames do not distract from the natural fluidity of the overall appearance. In fact, if done well, it is very captivating.

The viewers’ minds compensate for the omitted frames. The brain tends to “fill in” the missing portions automatically, so as to not seem to skip a beat. But if the frames were viewed one by one—not in rapid sequence—it would show the extreme jumps in “time.”

In the same manner, the frames that are stretched out either by duplication or no omissions have the propensity to trick the mind into seeing the scene’s importance. This helps the brain to better absorb the details in the frames. By not trimming each still shot within a particular motion, the brain is able to see the step by step process.

The dimension of time comes from “motion.” Motion creates a sense of time. Within the mode of filmmaking, there are two distinct times. The first is the time within the frames. Each still shot is motionless by itself; and yet, it shows a moment of “time” so to speak. Because it is a photo of a “time” that once existed. Secondly, there is the overall time that it takes to view all the frames. “That time” is outside of “the time within the frames.”

Time frames are the best example of how time is individualized. For example, a child may perceive a month to be an extremely long amount of time. However, an adult may think a month is not that long. And again, to an elderly person, a month may go by in a blink of the eye.

The reason for this is that frames are being omitted to save space. In other words, duplicate frames are being taken out because the information has already been logged. Therefore, the frames that are kept become less and less as a person ages, which makes time appear to go by faster overall. (This is explained in more detail here.)

In the same way, the younger mind may perceive more of the frames by not omitting them. Thus, time seems to move slower. Yet, in either the child or the elder, the overall time is the same and unchanged.

Looking at this mathematically, the time frames are depicted by the difference of whole numbers and fractions. (Whole numbers include: -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) Fractions are the numbers between the whole numbers. (An example of a fraction is: 1.0001, 1.0002, 10.645, 63.84, etc.) A fraction is the whole number plus the fractional numbers to the right of the decimal point.

Frames in time are remembered by their level of importance. Those frames will be called the whole numbered frames. Those frames are not omitted to save space.

The fractional numbered frames are the frames that can be omitted or duplicated. Within those frames contain the elements (or still shots) of “motion,” which depict the move from Frame 1 to Frame 2.

By the very fact that there are fractions, there also exists the possibility of fractional numbers between the fractions themselves, meaning two or more decimal points. In fact, theoretically there could be an infinite number of decimal points: fractions of fractions. This is extremely important in the understanding of time frames.

The fractional time frames act to correct any problematic areas that may arise in the space between the whole numbered frames, (i.e. Frame 1 to Frame 2). When an error exists within the space between those whole numbered frames, it creates a fractional point in order to correct the action required before continuing on to the next frame. And even within the fractional frames, each error causes another fractional split (i.e. two or more decimal points). Those fractional frames can continue to fragment into an indefinite point, until the action is corrected to ensure that the next frame in sequence can be accomplished. They are the frays on the ends of the 4 corners, as the Torah speaks of (and are represented in the required 4-cornered garment with tassles or frays). Those frays are the fractional ends of our existence.

Because we live in a fractional framed environment—fractions of fractions--, many people delete most frames in order to save space. However, the child’s mind especially is able to perceive of the fractional frames easier, since they do not tend to omit frames. That is how a child can easier perceive of extra-dimensional spaces, which are usually attributed to the supernatural.

To explain these fractional frames more, it is like turning on a light in order to see an object. It appears to happen instantaneously. However, if the frames were viewed separately, they would show many thousands of frames between the times (or whole numbered frames) that the light came on until the object was seen.

For example, the fractional frames would show the light rays moving from the light source to the object; and then bouncing off the object and hitting the eyes of the viewer. Then, the frames would show that the eyes view the object upside down firstly. Then, the neurons carry the message from connection to connection within the brain and eventually turn the object right-side up and comprehend the object’s shape, color, etc.

Those fractional frames--before the object is seen and comprehended--, consist of merely pieces of information. The information of the light going towards the object and the object’s descriptive qualities would be broken down into their most basic characteristics. The pieces are more disjointed than a painting by Picasso. If those frames were able to be viewed separately, they would appear very abstract and may be attributed to a supernatural phenomenon.

Furthermore, fractional frames could contain something similar to subliminal messages—like are strategically placed in film. As the brain processes the fractional frames, there is a possibility that spillover effects from higher fractional orders leak into the comprehension method. In other words, since those frames contain many fragments of information—being broken into their base states--, some of those frames may be stemming from other fractional spaces (i.e. two or more decimal points). This could account for what people perceive to be visions, ghosts, etc.

Additionally, this may be the reason why people can see images during meditation. When the mind slows the speed of which the fractional frames are seen, more fragmented information becomes available. The same situation occurs during sleep. Even though a whole dream occurs in a relatively short amount of overall time, to the dreamer, the dream seems to be much longer.

Interestingly, speech may not seem to represent the fractional frames. For example, a person might say, “I turned on the light and found my keys.” The fractional frames are contained between the space of the words “light” and “and”; and even again between the words “and” and “found.” Those fractional frames are merely represented by a pause, a breath, or silence.

Torah & Fractional Frames:

If this method of thinking is applied to Torah, it can be noted that the written Torah describes, what seems to be, choppy scenes within a film. It details the usually mundane tasks of eating and also major events such as the destruction of Sodom. So, why are there missing frames?

It is interesting to note that in the sacrifice laws, Torah calls for cutting an animal into halves and/or adding 1/3 of grain, oil, etc. to the sacrifice offering. If there is a way to get to the point of totally whole numbered frames, it would eliminate the sacrifices too by design. Because there would be no fractional spaces, not only would sacrifice be abolished, but the fragmented tribes of Israel would be united as well.

Genesis (Bereshith) 1:3: “G-d said, “There shall be light, and light came into existence.”

Notice that there is a fractional space between the words “There shall be light” and “and light came into existence.” If light be truth, and the truth be goodness and mercy, then that fractional space extends to the nth degree of the fragments necessary in order overturn all sacrifice.
