I’m going to go way out on a limb and suggest time does not exist. A quick thought.
Now you pro’s can ignore…I really find this subject interesting and cannot resist.
We know that our perception of time is relative to the motion of our planet, solar system, galaxy ect.
We also know that there would be a very massive quantity of real matter flying around the universe at an infinite or full range of available motion within the universe.
In fact there would be real particles hurling toward the inner portion of an imploding sun. This great force of gravitational pull is the strongest force known in the universe. From the real perspective of particles in this real situation, due to a dilation of time, our universe would not be here.Our sun would have in fact completed burning up all of its gas’s and be another black hole.
If we offer a real relative perspective to all available matter in motion , I’m thinking that
every moment ever to be in the universe, would be in answer or in fact comprise real relative perspectives every bit as potent and true as ours.
Our perspective is simply one of many which comprise the whole. Our time is an not an illusion due to a defined state of motion, but… it is only a refined portion of a whole reality due to our focus in observance set in our specific motion.
Now…what about non motion in answer to the other reality of extreme necessary for the whole…? In other words where is the relative perspective for the beginning, it would obviously be a state of non-motion or relative anti-motion.
It may be that the beginnings of the expansion and following thrust created a tunnel of timelessness, or non relevance such as the empty funnel at the mouth of rushing water going down the tub…or perhaps the center of a hurricane…at the mouth or outset of the initial thrust of the expansion.
Now we’ve covered all time from beginning to end in real perspective. Every moment is accounted for, from a true perspective. The only absolute perspective would be the accumulation of all explained above in comprising a total true birds eye perspective…
.time then does not exist from this true birds eye perspective, the ultimate real view of all…Absolute reality would be void of perimeter allowing for a true perspective of the totality of the universe. Time only exists as a relative portion then of a timeless universe. The perceived measure defines the individual notice inhibited by the neccesity of peculiar motion. The universe has no time, it simply is…that is relative to the absolute true objective view of creation.
