Does Time Really Exist?–The Illusion Of Time

Does time really exist?

Does time really exist? is time an illusion?, many scientists, philosophers and elite spiritual leaders have always ponder the question. Some have succeeded to lead people imagination to the shores of this reality of time illusion and some have inflicted more confusion among young minds. This question of whether time exist or it is an illusion is more of the spiritual question rather than scientific question. However it can be in both places at once, The only difference is when we approach it in the scientific methods the spiritual part is left while when approached on the spiritual aspect the scientific part is also satisfied.

What Is Time?

One of my philosophical rules is that  “if we can see it with crystal clarity, then we can touch it”. A proper diagnose is half a cure!. Unless we clearly define the essence and structure of time, its fundamental components and how we perceive it, then time will always remain a mystery to human. The question of whether time exist or we are merely experiencing the illusion of time depends on how we clearly perceive what time is.

“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” ~ Albert Einstein

Time is a system of measuring a sequence in events and interval between these events to be able to quantify rate of changes. Let’s come from another angle time is an interval between a prior event to the later event, or in general it is an interval between two related events. Let’s try it once more; Time is the unfolding of events, Now you can see time is really there, in all these definitions time has to be there for this concept to make sense.So i hope we are all standing on the same ground now? agreed? (if not feel free to post a comment).

Time can be measured in different units such as seconds, minutes, hours, mill-seconds etc. So in overall time is not universal. In psychology your sense of time is not the same as someone else’s.

The Nature Of Time – Does time exist in the Fourth Dimension

Consider the image below:

We have successful been able to conceptualize what time is, then we are going to break it down into fundamental component to be able to examine it more. A lot of people agree with the fact that time exist as the fourth dimension of space. A good example to explain time exists as the fourth dimension is; Let’s say you had an appointment with someone who has an office in a high rise building, in order to meet this someone you will need four ‘ Fundamental pieces of information’ to be able to meet this person which are;

1. The street number ( X-plane, length in space in which you will have to travel to meet this person)
2. The Avenue (z-plane,  width in space )
3. The floor  number  ( the height/ depth in space that you will have to climb to meet this individual)
4. The interesting fourth piece of information is; you can’t just go there’ any ‘time’ you want to’ you will still need to know the exact time to meet with this individual be in the morning, afternoon, evening or night.

This gives you a good picture on how  time exist as the fourth dimension. To understand it clearly we have to assume that all the planes (XYZ, Height, Width and Length) move through space by becoming huge and huge(not expansion as a bubble would, but to the smallest particles all magnifies, and the only direction to time is by either making it bigger or smaller.
