First, understand that time does not exist apart from the
other three dimensions.
Einstein’s acceptance of time as a dimension of space-time
along with height, length, and depth negates his own assertion that time is
linear and that travel along it is possible in only one direction. One can go up or down in the dimension of
height. Once can go forward or backward
in the dimension of length. One can go
left or right in the dimension of width.
Therefore, one should be able to go to the future and to the past when the technology to do so
becomes available. However, I
hypothesize that in either direction doing so will be like viewing a “Read Only”
file in Word or similar programs. In
other words, one will be able to see both but to affect neither.
Time isn’t really linear; it’s circular. With thosee other three dimensions of
space-time, it’s actually spherical. Therefore,
from any single point in time, the future has already happened, and the past is
still yet to be.
The only point at which we can truly exist is the moment we
are at right now; all others are past or future, gone away or yet to be. But that one moment where we are now is the
beginning, and the end, and every moment in between. In other words, each and every moment we are
alive, we are living at the moment of the Big Bang, the moment of Creation, in
a manner of speaking.
