Time is an illusion.
We are all time travels.
Time loops.
Time reboots.
Time travels.
Time is perceptional.
Time is multi-faceted.
Time is entangled.
Time can be encapsulated and retrieved.
Time fascinates and intrigues.
Time is complicated.
Time is based on physics and mathematical algorithms. Math is a Matrix ... the Matrix of Illusion.
We are taught that if you time travel you alter timelines a.k.a. the grids or streams of consciousness that create illusions in quantumly entangled realities.
If you were to travel back in time and change one event you would create a temporal paradox an apparent contradiction, or a logical contradiction that is associated with the idea of time and time travel. Could you trust what you would experience?
People claim to be time travelers and report events in other timelines.
Science fiction shows us the many different aspects of time travel as far as human or alien consciousness has been allowed to perceive/conceive.
I have always been drawn to the term Temporal Anomaly - a disruption in the spacetime continuum which can be related to time travel. Temporal anomalies can take many forms and have many different effects, including temporal reversion, the creation of alternate timelines, and fracturing a vessel into different time periods.
If all and everything everywhere in the simulation of our reality is happening in the Now (concurrently) then how does one time travel?
Time travel symbols for me include a train station with a standing clock, the tracks appear to meet at the event horizon which also refers to the boundary around a black hole - which takes us to Simulation Theory.
We exist in a human experiment set in linear time to experience emotions. I do not believe that the human brain is programmed to understand how the simulation and time work. This is about understanding that humanity's journey is more about the quest than the answers. There will always be questions that create other questions until the simulation ends.
