Spooky stuff in this here thread.

"...the separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, although a convincing one."

Albert Einstein

Misquoting one of the greatest minds doesn't really help your argument I must say... This is what einstein is talking about...

this is what your are claiming he is talking about...

on the other hand, you are correct about measurement of time, it is a very humane subject... I believe that this really doesn't need to be discussed considering even today there are over 20 different calendar systems in use.

I really recommend you to watch this...

very interesting. I'll check out the voyage through space and time later because I have some work I need to get done. Anyway so according to the first video there are an infinite amount of spacial dimensions, time is not one of those dimensions (as I admit I thought it was).

Can you please explain how I miss quoted Einstein the internets told me that Einstein didn't believe in linear time , But upon further reading maybe your right. I guess he didn't believe in gravity as we do.

How did you come to this conclusion?

Please watch Sagan's space & time video, I promise everything will make perfect sense.

wow, time must be one hell of a concept because animation, motion or movement isn't possible without it.

I don't think that there is another animal besides humans that is aware that there will be a tomorrow or that there was a yesterday.

again time is not a forth dimension it's nothing but using getting together and agreeing that we need a system to keep track of shit.

I hate to interrupt your brilliant thesis. But, time travel may be possible. There are several competing theories that involve wormholes. Time is not the "forth dimension" but it is a variable in physical calculations. Time isn't a constant. For example, the nuclear clocks that run in the GPS satellites that orbit the earth or perceived to be running slower than their earthbound counterparts. This is my seem odd because the clocks themselves were synchronized before launch. Indeed, all GPS devices need to compensate for this discrepancy in order to work accurately.

The universe has dimensions that you can't perceive.
