Einstein stated: 'Time is not a constant'.....?

Question

If this is so, is it not possible that 'we' created ourselves, in the future??

It would actually still go with what the bible states: 'let 'us' make man, in 'our' image'.

A paradox?

I am not religious!!

It sounds a stupid question, i know!

A paradox, doesnt make sense! ... Does it? ....lol

I think that is what Einstein meant: that past-present-future exist, at the same 'time'!

Please, no more 'sarcastic' quotes from the bible!!

It might not only be humanity, that is in a loop, it might be the universe, that completes, then re-runs, the same 'story' each time!?
Who knows!!

BLUEBOOK .... You should learn to read, i am NOT religious!!
If you would care to read some of my other questions, you would see that i am 'not' a believer in religion!
Oh, dear .... you are the idiot!!!

AAhh! .... The king James version, strikes again!!

I know nothing of Hinu belief!
I would like to say however, that we really do 'not' know, with the 'unknown' strangeness of quantam mechanics!
What i am stating in my question, 'could' actually be a possibility!
It might not, but worth a go!! ... :o)

Sorry ... 'Hindu'.

Answer 1

If Time is not a constant then there is no future.
Future, present, past all exist simultaneously.

Answer 2

So you're going to make me think, then, are you?! I think that if time is not constant, it means linear time. So, time can go in any direction it is inclined; perhaps that is the reason for intuition, deja vu, etc. While I can't prove or disprove creating ourselves, (and if your theory is right, it would explain why humanity is so flawed!), we are still left with the same chicken or egg problem- either in the "past" or the "future". Spiritually speaking, (the soul), it is absolutely likely that we have always existed in this manner, as the idea of energy not being able to be destroyed just redirected is more or less proven. As for the Bible quote, I believe that is from the King James version- "Let us" and "our" acting as the "royal we". Not a paradox, per se, but a hiccup in translation.

Answer 3

Time is not constant, because it is relative. It is relative to matter. If there is nothing, there would be no time. Hence the term "spatiotemporal." If you go faster than the speed of light, you could out run light, so you would literaly be living in the past. This is so because you see because of reflected light off of things. So if you were to out run light, you could see what was reflected 2 seconds ago, rather than would was currently reflected. Also matter is said to be just frozen light.

I don't see how you came to your thoughts about us creating ourselves. Maybe you can tell me how you did?








Edit: :) You have stumbled onto a Hindu belief. Hindus believe that Shiva the Destroyer destroys and recreates the Universe every so often (400 million years i think. I'm not sure, all i remember is a 4 and some zeros xD). Time is not constant, because it is a percieved thing, and hence is relative to the perciever. Hence if everythign in the Universe doubled in speed, time would actualy HALF. 1 second would no longer be the same as it is today, rather it would be like .5 seconds of today's time.

Answer 4

Since you are quoting the bible I use this biblical reference in response.

"Now the whole earth had one language and few words. And as men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. And they said to one another, 'Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.' And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. Then they said, 'Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.' And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built. And the LORD said, 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.' So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.' Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth." (Genesis 11:1-9)

If we as a race became God why would we delay or obstruct the inevitable by scattering our past selves to the four winds by confusing our own past languages?

Answer 5

He also said time was lumpy, but taking into account that time is not physical, which undermines the whole idea of black holes. However with the basic knowledge of chemistry, which I think is pretty primative for todays standards, he made a whole load of predictions in the knowledge that we would never be able to prove them.

Answer 6

Are you referring to human creates human? With advancement in living science it is not impossible. But we should remember that our 'creation' is a human being just like us, because we just create suitable condition from existing seed to grow; we never create the seed.

The sentence you quote ('let Us make man in Our image') is taken from the Bible. It tells us when God (the 'Us') create human. Well, it is a bit complicated and I don't want to explain here, but what I want to tell you is that human creates something from something, but God can create something from nothing. Believe it or not, just see whether a man can create something from nothing!

Answer 7

That doesn't make sense logically. If that was true, human history would be in a loop in a time continuum.

Answer 8

R & S section would provide some very interesting answers to this!!
Go on, try it.

Answer 9

That statement is a right brain-buster but it doesn't mean we can travel in time.

Answer 10

he used to sit on his train to work and the station would zoom off... but he couldn't boil an egg....;
