Reality takes shape according to the flow of time;
as future become present. A
particular present gets realized, only according to
the point of view of an observer. Two objects/entities,
particles or people, who interact; can be both observer and
observed. Every time an observer makes a choice; a new
branch in time is created; as, a given future gets
realized as present. The newly
sprouted branch may or may not influence other interactions,
between other objects/entities.
The idea that time may be way stranger than we think, is
the
fact recently experimentally demonstrated that
a message can be received, before it gets created and transmitted.
Entanglement of particles was used as the basis of the experiment.
We
posit, based on the model of time on this page; that a
message can be received, even though it never was created,
or sent. This premise needs to be confirmed
experimentally, by turning off the transmitting side of the
experiment stated above, before the message gets created; without
breaking any universal physical laws, such as entropy.
In order to ensure, to a statistically significant certainty, that
the right message was indeed
not created; the experimental
setup must encode information into the entanglement of particles.
Said information can be verified on the receiving end. A series of
messages is transmitted, and the message which was not created, is
skipped.
The time model on this page cannot yet answer the possibility, that
the message might have been temporarily queued; as the message which
was received, is created -- the energy which is expanded in its
creation and transmission -- when the sending side of the
experimental setup is turned on again.
Questions to be answered
What is the exact nature of time ... ?
Are unrealized branches of time strewn across space-time, or
do they wither ... ?
Are unrealized branches accessible ... ?
Do realized presents have an existence independent of the
observer ... ?
Can the model of time, posited on this page, work at both
the micro and macrocosm ... YES ...
Can Einsteinian time flow be reconciled with the model of
time, posited on this page ... ?
Can time tick independent of space ... ?
Can future causes influence the past ... YES ...
Entangled particles and time ... They both have a past,
present, and future, regardless
of the fact that one may respond before the other gets
tweaked ...
Is time travel possible ... YES ...
Receiving information before it happens, as above using
entangled particles, is time travel ...
Causality problems ... None,
if everything happens according to the observer ...
Can time trapped in a crystal allow experimentation
according to the model on this page ... ?
With an infinity of possible branches, the universe is truly
one and not many.
