Re: My thoughts on time.

""""""""So if we assume the universe started with the big bang, all matter in a single point, and time did not exist until this single point "banged" and expansion began. Would time be the distance of that expansion and only an expression of the transfer of energy from singularity to the edges of the universe?"""""
Most probably surmise that we are static, standing still, and time is moving past us, the universe is moving, expanding, all while we are standing still as time moves around us. This means "time" is a thing out there, something that is happening out there whether I am aware of it or not.
Such a concept is finite, but creates a conundrum, time must begin from timelessness, just as matter must have exploded from a singularity, which could have only existed nowhere as space itself was irrelevant. Before time and space, when and where would everything come from, so it all comes from nothing.
Now try this, there is an obstacle course, set and static, stretching across the space of a gymnasium. You enter at one door and work your way through until you come to the other side of the course. The space has stood still and you have moved through it.
Now think of time as that same kind of map, static, and you are moving though it and as you do you are experiencing time like you experienced space moving across the gym.
So the universe would have no beginning and no end, it is all consciousness. It might help to think of the chicken and the egg and which came first. Neither, the whole ideal was a chicken within and egg and this egg within a chicken that is within another egg within another chicken, it could even be the same chicken and the same egg, but creation, rather than beginning in the past, is rather the spreading out of this ideal, the future being pulled forward while the past is being pulled backwards.
Now that metaphor still denotes time in a sense but shows creation from a mid point. So boom, in one second lets say all the universe pops into existence, spatially AND with its complete timeline. And now it is our consciousness, whose very existence requires a context of time and space as a point of locality (I am) moves along, that is experiencing time just as it does space.
Hence this is why quantum physics does a back flip trying to discern reality at such a level because reality starts to lose its reality. (You guys can quote me on that)
So from a different perspective, where all of the universe is happening at once, the speed of light is a division as it Restricts all time from happening at once, rather than an addition as if everything is moving outward fr a singularity and that is as fast as something (photon) can move. A limit on a car is how fast it is supposed to drive, but the true limit is where it reaches its point of equalization and all the horse power is being used.
With light think of it as having an infinite potential where time would stop, and it is in the slowing down, the limiting of its speed that makes the universe appear to be happening.
And no, I don't know what theory out there might come close to this, not block, it is just the way I have come to think of it from meditating and the nature of a true infinity.
>>>>>>>And then if that is the case, to travel into the future you would only need to move faster than the rate of this expansion?<<<<<<<<
Comas are also a good way to time travel for the mind anyway. Suspended animation for the body, as long as your mind is comatose and it is not a living nightmare of consciousness. Just options.
