Past (low entropy) -------X (the present)  -------  All possible futures (high entropy)

                                                             \-----------

Where time is a wave and the present (point of observation) is where the wave (superposition of all possible futures) collapses.

So in effect the universe is created NOW and flows into the past because the future only exists as a superposition (observing it in the present causes it to collapse into a single state) the present is a static point which time flows through pouring into the past. Also, when observing any superposition, you are effectively looking into the future (all possible futures of that object)

Just an idea I had, any feedback? feel free to shoot me down with science...

Perspective on “The Theory of Evolution: Linear Space and Time Relevance”

By: Tracey Gamer Fanning

My theory is based on the general principal of linear time and the continuation of human and technological evolution.

If you look at space as one unit – not a multiple number of infinite galaxies and space, but one unit that spans all time, than that unit continues to evolve on a linear time scale.

If you look at biological existence from the beginning of the earth’s formation, i.e. the beginning of our timeline, then you can follow a logical timeline of evolution. Biological formation started millions and millions of years ago with single celled organisms. Following the development of life’s existence, i.e. human existence, you can see the development of man.

On the homo-erectus time line, following a chimp like organism, through caveman homo-erectus evolution, through modern erect man, you can see all of the changes that have occurred over millions of years. For example, standing upright, loss of body hair, the formation of longer slimmer limbs, and less clublike hands with more nimble agile digits.

If you logically follow a simple timeline method, the evolution of our existence, over the course of millions of years, added to the evolution of our technology, added to the geographical anomalies, we can predict millions of evolutionary patterned timelines.

But if you consider one hypothetical timeline, you see the human bodies over time getting larger, living longer periods of time, increase in brain mass and function. Added to the advancement of technology and you can hypothesize the evolution of time travel.

If we are just looking at the evolutionary process over millions of years, on a singular spacial system, then, why do we assume that all of the countless “sightings” of UFO’s are from other planetary systems? Why can’t we, as human beings, possibly realize that as one singular system, Earth, quite possibly, is the only planet that can sustain a human-like life form, therefore, any beings that would be considered “alien” could actually be our own human race, from millions of years in the future (Humanlike characteristics, large hairless heads, on larger bodies, in devices that can travel back in time.)

Leading to a conclusion, that anyone who has ever claimed to have been “abducted” by space creatures, are just relics of a long past time, that are being studied by future Anthropologists, and then returned to our own time.

Like an Anthologist from 2011, being able to dig up a caveman, do studies on that creature, and then returning it to its own, time, family/clan and environment. We could study our ancestry without disturbing evolution itself.

Consider this, if you were a caveman, how would you describe a being, standing completely upright, wearing the latest in space wear, potentially from the Gap, with just hair on our heads, with long thin arms, able to sedate, study, and return unharmed to its clan to continue its normal path of evolution without disturbing or interfering with the normal timeline of human existance?

In the novel and subsequent versions  of  "The Time Machine" By HG Wells. the time machine in question does not work by "jumping" from one time period to another, Rather, it travels in a linear timeline exactly as we are doing now (assuming it is travelling into the future) BUT... at an accellerated pace. So, bearing this in mind , wouldnt the time machine and traveller be visible at all times and never vanish from sight?  after all it /he is occupying every point in time as it travels through it in the same direction as the observer?  albeit at an accellerated pace !! in fact , wouldnt it be visible for the whole of the observer's existence unless he stopped his journey before the observer dies ?

In popular culture, ghosts are often represented as a snapshot of a moment in time, endlessly repeated. Mostly these snapshots relate to incidents from the past - eg. a headless horseman, Mary Queen of Scots and the like.

Setting aside disbelief/ scientific scepticism about ghosts generally, is there any theory that would explain why ghosts could not equally appear from the future?

I was wondering about the plausibility of a "joke theory" I saw in an online web comic (www.qwantz.com not sure where it is anymore though). Essentially it suggested that all electrons are the same electron except it just travels through time - explaining their being identical.

Originally I almost dismissed the idea pretty quickly. However, since reading the most recent New Scientist in which the main article said that quantum particles such as electrons and photons have no place on the arrow of time (or something like that). It seems that this theory is more plausible if not just for me.

At least in the case that the electron has "failed to kill itself" (/will fail to kill itself / is currently failing to kill itself).

Thanks for your views and help in advance!

If we hypothetically had the technology to travel 70 million light years away in an instant, along with some form of powerful telescope...when you looked at earth would you see earth as it was 70 million years ago, dinosaurs and all?

Planet X, aka Nibiru, has a 3000 year orbit around the sun, has anybody else heard of it?

Hypotheticaly, If time travel existed and we could go forwards and backwards in time; and you created a paradox in which your existence never was (the grandfather/mad scientist theory) and there WAS an afterlife how humans percieve it currently; (soul leaving the body and entering a spirit world/universe) could the soul enter or would the soul seise to exist too? For instance, the spirit world would have to have no concept of time and space as A) everyone would age and B) it would run out of space eventually as noone would be leaving it. Technically you and your soul would of existed once, and as the soul can survive without your physical presence, couldn't it survive without a physical existence, especially as it can pass through worlds?

I know that answers will be based on alot of 'perhaps' and 'maybes' but i'm very interested in what others think on this.

Sounds implausible at first doesn't it? Here is how it might theoretically be possible. Can you prove me wrong?

Stephen Hawkings agrees it is theoreticaly possible to travel into the future by accelerating a person or object to near the speed of light. Travelling to the past however does not seem possible so that person would be permanently in the future. They would also be unable to communicate with us using current technology snce that would involve sending something into the pas which is theoretically implausible.

Here is where spooky physics might help us. When two particles are entangled and the properties of one changes the properties of the second particle change identically and instantaneously even if the particles are spatially separated. Experiments have already shown this to be true. Assume someone were to invent a pair of linked quantum channel devices. Now send one of the devices into the future just like Staphen Hawkings suggests. If the particles remain entangled would be then be able to have two way communications with someone from the future?
