Exploring the concept of time

by Luis Riveros

Created on: January 09, 2010   Last Updated: January 10, 2010

Time is an unavoidable property of matter. Whenever there is matter, there is time. Matter changes from form “x” to form “y” and that transformation is lengthy; that is what we call “time.” Whenever we think that time is linear, we make a “big” mistake. To start, there is nothing linear in the universe. The shortest path between 2 points is not a line as we were taught but a geodesic, a curve. We live in a sphere. There are no straight lines in a sphere.

Therefore, if matter changes with time, time cannot be linear but cyclical. Why? Because matter cannot be created, that means that there is neither “beginning” nor “end.” If there is neither beginning nor end that means that matter is eternal, obviously because matter exists.  This is called a logical reasoning from previous premises.

Eternity cannot be linear because by necessity; linear time conveys a beginning. The belief of linear time is the single most detrimental “theory” that is affecting our understanding of “how everything started.”

Linear time fails logic and reason consistently. There are 3 aspects of time: past, present and future. If the “beginning” was the present, then what was the past of that present? It is non-existent. Also the principle of “cause and effect” fails in linear time. The “Big bang” theory believes in a great explosion which created everything. Ok; but, what was the cause of those agents that collided in an explosion?  In other words, those atoms of hydrogen and helium needed to come from somewhere before they existed. Linear time means that there is a need of a beginning which could never be explained if we use the principle of cause and effect or the 3 aspects of time. See that? Therefore, in this brief explanation I have logically and reasonably demonstrated that Creationism and the “big bang” theory are illogical answers of the beginning of the Universe. Perhaps a scientist can come up with lots of proofs to defend their theories, or a holy priest can defend their dogma, but logic and reason tells me otherwise. Perhaps science and dogma are not reasonable after all. There is no need to be a rocket scientist to see this.

If linear time fails the test of logic, what is the “reasonable” answer?  Time is a cycle. A circle. The rest of this writing will go into this.
