is it possible that our linear concept of time is flawed?

Question

Einstein proved that time is malleable.If past ,present and future were happenning simultaneously ,that would explain deja-vu,clairvoyance,esp and the like

Eri.on Deja vu.I have recorded many of my dreams over the years .And then the exact dream comes to pass months or years later.I have found my way without instructions or directions to places I have never been in foreign countries by remembering the details from my dream

Answer 1

There are two 'perceptions' of 'realities' inside of you. One part of you which is the left hemisphere perceives time as separate quantative units. The other part of you (the dream / spiritual part) perceives time as simultaneous and coexisting (past, present and future all happening at once). Both perceptions are true. In the 'material' world (in our bodies) we have to have that perception of 'separateness' to survive and that is why you spend 'time' cutting a certain 'distance'. When you are free of the body into the dream world, you do not need time or distance; you can 'think' of something and it manifests or you can think of a place and you're there. In reality, it is in the MERGING of those two realities that you experience the true and absolute reality. And that is my take on the subject.
As for your experiences with dreams, do meditate more before you sleep, and you will have more vivid dreams. Good luck :)

Answer 2

Einstein didn't prove that time was malleable - he made the point that it depends on the observer.

Time passes at a constant rate as measured by the observer on their own clock, regardless of whether they're accelerating or not. However, they would observe a moving clock to be running slow, and this has been verified by flying atomic clocks around the world in jumbo jets - there is a small but significant slowing compared to clocks that have remained at rest.

Concepts like past, present and future are mostly human distinctions - Paul Davies has written some excellent books on the subject which I'd suggest you read for a more in depth answer. Ultimately, there is a still a lot of debate about what time actually is, but as a simple answer to your question, for us under normal circumstances, cause and effect shows us that time is flowing in a particular direction, and that we therefore seem at our scale to be in a fairly linear flow of time. At the subatomic particle scale, being near to a black hole, or travelling close to the speed of light, might not end up with such a rigidly defined flow of time, but we haven't experienced these directly.

Answer 3

You seem to be regarding time as being a NATURAL feature of the universe. It is not! There is no Cosmic Master Clock ticking away the correct time. Time is nothing more than a concept "invented" by our species to separate events and is strictly relative. If I'm waiting for Friday to end so that the weekend can begin time passes slowly. Once the weekend arrives, time passes quickly until Monday morning.

Answer 4

Except that we already can explain those things. Deja vu is a misfiring in your brain chemistry, and the other things don't exist. Think I'm wrong? Prove it. www.randi.org

Answer 6

There is a possibility that everything is flawed.

We (humans) define laws, and with the help of these definitions we build theories.
So if the initial law itself is flawed, which is quite possible, then everything we build on that is incorrect.

Answer 7

Linear time is not flawed. You are.

Human perception of time is notoriously inaccurate.

Answer 8

Einstein was also an alcoholic.

Answer 9

Anything is possible.
