Does past, present and future exist simultaneously? Is Time an Illusion?

- Is time an illusion? If not, what is time? Why does time flow forward? You are watching this video. Your brain cells are firing in anticipation. A story is unfolding. Time is moving forward. Or is it? What if I told you that nothing is happening. There is no story unfolding. The story has already been told. The video has already been uploaded and seen by others. You are just watching it one second at a time, so there is a story unfolding for you only.
What if your entire life was like this video upload, like a DVD. The story of your life is already on that DVD. The only difference is that you don’t have a forward and reverse button. You are forced to experience your DVD one moment at a time.
There is some strong scientific evidence that this may be the true nature of reality. If so, that could mean that everything you think you know is utterly an illusion. Einstein’s theory of relativity supports something called the block universe, which is really a four dimensional space time structure. This means that every event has its own coordinates not only in space but in time. So for example, wherever you are right now corresponds to a location in 3 dimensions, like London, England - and a location in time, 2PM on Feb 2, 2019.
But just like the space 10 feet ahead of you is as real as the space 10 feet behind you, so too is the moment 10 minutes into the future and 10 minutes into the past. In other words, the past and future exist just as much as the present.
MIT physicist Max Tegmark says we can view the universe as a three dimensional space where stuff happens, or four dimensional block universe where nothing happens. If it is the latter, he says, then change is really an illusion, because nothing is changing. It’s all there - past, present and future - like a DVD. A drama maybe unfolding in the movie recorded on the dvd, but nothing about the DVD is changing in any way.
We may have the illusion, at any given moment, that the past already happened and the future doesn't yet exist, and that things are changing. But the only reason we may have a past is that our brain contains memories of the past. If we did not have any memories, would we have any sense of the past, or of a sense of time at all?
Is it possible that time doesn’t actually exist except through our perception of it?
Physics doesn’t help us when it comes to the arrow of time - it is time-agnostic. If time was running backwards, all the equations would still be valid. So mathematically, physics does not say that time goes forward or backward. It just says that time Time can not be zero, but it can run either forward or backward without violating any laws. Time is symmetric.
But this is counterintuitive. Reality seems to be telling us that time does exist, and that its arrow points in only one direction - forward.
Why doesn’t the arrow of time flow backward, if physics says it is equally likely.
It would have been possible if it were not for one aspect of physics, and that is the law of entropy.
Entropy is a measure of the disorderliness of the universe. Things always get more disorderly. You can scramble and egg, but you can’t unscramble it. This is entropy increasing. Entropy appears to be the only reason the arrow of time is what it is.
But why is Entropy always becoming higher? Why doesn’t it become lower?
There doesn’t appear to be any fundamental reason for that.
Alan Guth, professor at MIT, who pioneered the idea of cosmic inflation, may have solved this riddle. He argues that information and entropy are almost the same thing. In order to know your past, you have to form memories. Adding memories means adding information. Adding information increases entropy. Therefore a conscious system can only be conscious in one direction - when entropy increases, which allows information to increase.
This implies that we are conscious because we live in a universe of increasing entropy. Consciousness cannot exist in a universe where entropy decreases.
So if entropy has been increasing since the beginning of time, it means that the universe must have started at the lowest possible state of entropy at the beginning…at the big bang.
Why then did the universe start off this way, resulting in forward time?
Alan Guth says that if the universe is infinitely large, then the total potential entropy of the universe is infinite. If that is the case, then any entropy you start with is low entropy.
The entropy will increase from any given starting point he says. This means that it doesn’t matter what the entropy of the big bang was, it would always be the lowest entropy, because there will always be a larger entropy number that the universe can flow to.
And seemingly, we exist because time has flowed in a favorable direction for causality to occur, namely, it has flowed forward in our universe.
But what about the block universe, are we living inside a DVD?...watch the video for the answer. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

Due to depression, I slept a lot, I dreamt a lot, I remember every dream everytime I go to sleep. I hated life and living and being in the real world. In a dream, I just get to observe while I do things. Then I came to realize if life is a movie like a dream were you just observe everything play out, why not live it like a dream. That way I can sleep less, pursue whatever i need without worries as in the end my life is already played out. So why stress my self out in regrets or in things I cant change. Just live life like your watching a movie and your the main charactor or live life like your in a dream. In the end let things play out like they are suppose to. Its the best way to have a blissful life. Plus its certanly true that every story already happened. Your just here to watch your own story play out exactly like its suppose to. The interesting part is that you dont even know the ending or never watched the trailer.
I hope you will read my comment. I show you that you CAN change events; you are resigning yourself to a worldline with no room for deviation. Such determinism is incorrect. The worldline you wish is out there ahead of you, but you must "choose it". Wake up each minute of each day of each year with the attitude that the glass is always half-full,.... never half-empty. You will soon see the difference occur in the outcomes in your life. Virgil reminded us that "They CAN because they "THINK " they can". Spectacular Passionate Destiny vs Oblivion, and everything in between... is a matter of choosing the Worldline you wish to see.
Correct reality exists in the human mind and nowhere else.sleeping or awake.same situation

This is why I no longer worry or care about pointless things such as work
Agreed. Unless your work is your own business. Even then, u can’t let it consume or define you.
I agree. Given the fact that life is a DVD that can't be skippable, i believe it might be some sort of test. We should try to make the best of it. If we don't maybe we have to go through more DVD's (And Nobody knows what awaits us there).
By “pointless things” I thought you were going to say this kind of existential crisis provoking videos.
A few months ago i saw it in a dream, someone told me " past and future doesnt exist" so i become interested in that topic and found this video. I cant say that i understood this video 100% but it helped me to form an opinion about this topic. So thank you Arvin
tell us more :)
I thought past and future doesnt exist too, but then i realized the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously
People forming opinions on bad data and dreams has always been one of the worst things in society. Especially when they simultaneously admit that they don't really understood what was said.
I understood everything - except what is a DVD?
Joke 😫

It is a type of disk that used to be fairly popular 15-20 years ago. You will not see it in shops now because laptops and PC no longer come with them and have not come for years. They first became popular in the mid 1990s where PC games started coming out on these to make use of their relative storage capacity at that time. Now it's all downloaded off the internet.
Why not a VHS

YES ! Roger Penrose already said this and Sam Harris.
"Time was invented to keep everything from happening at once."
This sounds so profound and maybe it is.
But that would be the creator of the universe's invention, not ours
Time wasn't invented, it is what it is, they tell us the universe is nearly 14 billion years old, that was a long TIME ago, so yea I guess time has always been around. But I do like your comment, very true.
I say: it is "invented" to keep everything happening at once! Think again, fellow travelers... Nothing happens in the past, nor in the future. Everything happens now.
Time was invented to control Us. I have no use for time, when my stomach growls I eat, when my eyes get heavy and I yawn I sleep. The only use Time serves is when you plant or harvest crops.
As a functional programmer, I don’t really know what time is to begin with. The one thing that the computer does need to know in order to come up with an otherwise arbitrary order of execution is how terms depend on each other.
Arvin, Your channel is spectacular and we appreciate the unbelievable amount of time you put in to create such rich, beautiful content and help simplify these complex, truly dizzying topics. In a prior video about time, you encouraged your viewers to share their ideas on the subject and I did that in a short book called A Simple Model of Modern Physics. It is pure conjecture but hoped the ideas at best might stimulate the imagination of smarter people like you and many of your followers. Thank you again for your work and inspiring me to find the courage to add something to the conversation.
HI, First Look
I had a near death experience as a child where I felt, heard and saw light beings around me. I knew that there was no such thing as death then. In my 20s I was told to pick up certain books that are about the infinite and life after life and healing in the moment. The book The Quantum World by the physicist Kenneth Ford says time is simultaneous and there is a literal graph of it.
I have read most of the Seth books. Seth is another dimensional being that is all about teaching physics without the math. He wrote through Jane Roberts that now is all that exists. Just stop the world from spinning and that would be evident. Then people ask "if time is simultaneous, then why do we age?" The physicist Barbara Brennan explains that by saying we are constantly being created each time a quark bursts forth spinning billions of times a second as 3 points of light forming protons and neutrons. There are pictures, diagrams in this book of what we look like out of these bodies as the electrical energy fields/holograms that we are. After all, there are many youtube videos of what atoms look like. They are complete energy. There is nothing physical or solid about them. We consist of at least 7 billion billion billion atoms, each of us. That is the last number I found. These atoms are so dense because the souls creating us have a huge amount of ideas they want to display on earth. These souls are the literal quarks/atoms we are saturated with. These/our literal souls are what is projecting us as their images.
We can't die because we ARE our souls. They are the computers creating us. They are the ones projecting us. We are like the screens on a computer or TV.
Why does it seem that we age? Since we are images, our beliefs change us. Beliefs are electrical images that are constantly flowing through us. We are the ones pretending to age, so we picture what that age looks like.
I think it’s a multidimensional block universe, where every quantum probability exists; this allows for the “universe” to be set in stone, yet every choice you make navigates which path your consciousness experiences, making it both deterministic as well as incorporating a degree of free will.
What free will? We don't have any. We are cogs in a machine. Revolt and find out yourself
Yep - sounds about right.

@@BenjaminMilekowsky Well yes any point you see with your eyes by definition is some distance from them, which means it cannot be instantaneous. (from the inertial reference frame) Because it cannot be instantaneous, it must be an image from the past.
@user-ky5dy5hl4d
Time doesn't go anywhere. Time does not flow. If it flowed we would see the movement of it. Time has no direction. Time has nothing to do with clocks. Time is not entropy and entropy is not time. Entropy is not means to measure time. One cannot measure time. Time is static and entropy is not. Time is static and has no units. And we have no definition of time up to date. Therefore, equations incorporating the element of ''time'' are useless and have no meaning until we define time.
Out of every physics channel out there, you explain these concepts the best and make them digestible for the common person. Thank you!

Amen, Oscar.
when is it not the present ?
"And how does the defendant plea?"
"Not guilty on the grounds of lack of free will."
You, as in your consciousness, doesn't ultimately make the decision but your brain is still influenced by it.
So you are condemned to your fate. No free will hence your time has come.
Who has ever had a lack of free will?????
God allows all the free will to do as they please!!! But there are consequences to your choices because not all persons free will chives are a benefit to all!!! Ex Hitler, he thought what he was doing was right in his eyes but look what he caused!!! Murders have free will choices, rapist!!!!! Etc…. That is why Gid makes the rules in which we live!!! It would take a perfect God to do this because man is horrible at it!!! That’s why there is a God someone would have to set the boundaries and as well punish those who don’t follow the rules!!!!!
@@meyou3362 you can't have an omniscient, omnipotent creator and free will. If the creator knows how everything is going to turn out from the beginning then they could change it by changing the initial conditions. The have complete control over every decision ever made.
People make choices based on what they believe and know, and the information they have. Who they are at that specific time they make the choice and those specific conditions. Given those things they can't make any other choice. A creator punishing someone for breaking their rules is like someone setting up dominos knocking the first one over and getting mad at one of them for falling. It was an inevitable consequence of the initial action.
The human brain is a neural network, out it in a give state and give it a specific input and you get a specific output. Even there was some as yet unknown quantum element to it a generall omniscient being would still know the outcome.

DVD memory once written is lacked as ROM.
I think time is a brain's biological adaptation to a really complex "reality" where everything's happening right now. Since I was a child, I've had feelings of things that are connected between past, present and future. For example, in Elementary school there was a kid that gave me a weird feeling that he would be "a key piece" in my future life. Well, he's my brother-in-law now. This and many more other events have given me a hint that maybe our life is just like one single picture with everything happening at the same time, like in REM's music video of "Imitation of Life".

And life after death seems to be precisely a compound of past,present and future.
Time is it Möbius strip, with matter & antimatter traveling in opposite directions, relatively.
We know for a fact that time is asymmetrical, meaning faster an object moves slower it’s clock ticks.
A photon at the speed of light. Would its clock tick at all? Is the photon timeless? Frozen in time?
Now supposed we are somehow able to trap a photon at absolute zero velocity/momentum.
Would the photon’s “clock” tick at the speed of light? Then (seeming) instantly disappears at the speed of light.
@@DatPiffy The Photon is timeless,ALWAYS in movement ( no zero velocity ).

Need a wow button for this conversation ...
Even though I don't fully understand the content in your videos, I still enjoy them; they give my brain a rigorous workout. Thank you 🙏♥️
Ok, but WHAT IF watching these videos were NOT what was meant for you?
YES! YES! THIS is what I've been wrestling with and trying to realize!!! Time doesn't actually exist but change does. I'm not really in agreement with this particular concept after that point.
Smolens showed the the future is quantum and probabilistic (can't exist until it's measured...and there's the M-word) so it doesn't yet exist and won't until it is experienced, and the 2nd LOTD (Entropy) shows the past can't exist. Every quark that made up every particle that made up every atom of every "thing" has since moved on and there are no "slices" of The Past containing all the little pieces of everything (everywhere) that we can look at or go to in way. It's gone, forever, and instantly. Only the "moment", the instant of Quantum Decoherence is what we experience and the successive experiences of those never-ending moments is what we call "Time".
Add-on.... this would also mean Time Travel is impossible, and that Time Dilations which we measure using our clocks (machines to represent time, not to measure time) are perturbations of the quantum Time Field (Superpositioned, static, ubiquitous) and are based on velocity of travel through the field and likely not the mass of the traveler. Time is not gravity and the passage of time is merely a construct of the human memory. Without memory there would no sense of time passing.
...at least it seems that way to my simple mind.
Just because we can’t see the andromeda galaxy in the year 2024. Doesn’t mean it does not exist. And just because the andromeda galaxy cannot see earth in the year 2024, doesn’t mean we don’t exist. We do. The past, present, and future exist at the same time.
How you experience it is based on your point of reference in space. So for example, a planet in the year 1999, sees a star explode in space. It took 10 light years for light from the explosion to get to that planet for them to witness it. Meanwhile a planet in the year 2024, also witnessed the same exact explosion. In which the light traveled ten light years in another direction. The planet in 2024 is ten light years away in the opposite direction. Both the past planet and the future planet witnessed the same event.
Einsteins block universe theory is correct. The past isn’t destroyed. It’s still there. Time is dependent on where you are in space.
This video just explained the "4th dimension" in the most comprehensible and illustrative way.

I do believe in a sort of block universe theory but the more I think about it the harder it is to believe that it’s as clean cut as just hyper-determinism. The very fact that we experience as if we are making our decisions really falls deep into the rabbit hole. Our ability to control our thoughts to some degree seems to suggest that we aren’t the material universe but something transcendent from it.
I’m a believer of God and really the concept of God is the only solution I can come up with for why we experience will and when I fall into this thought it all aligns itself perfectly. I would go deeper in thought here but sometimes people are too lost in their “science only” phase that they forget who they are.

Time not being a real dimension has always made more sense to me. I think of it as more of a tool for making the world easier to understand. A way to explore how things motion change in relation to each other. But we cant reverse the motion of every force in the universe to travel back in time just like we cant hold negative one apples in our hand. I think they are concepts created to make it easier for us to understand a very complex universe with a basic frame of reference and assumptions. But if we can measure it and use it, then it should be real. So like everything else.. is it a paradox? Maybe paradox is the norm and the status quo is really the outlier?

@@ArvinAsh please watch chuck Missler on TH-cam about the book of Genesis.. your eyes will be opened
@@ArvinAsh To answer your question, Arvin, Time is an illusion _only if _*_motion_*_ is an illusion_ . This, because Time is nothing more and nothing less than the relative motion of all things in motion. We 'mark time' when we observe that certain motion events occur *_as_* some other (usually repetitive) motion event has occurred. To say that a plane covers a certain distance in a certain amount of 'time' is to say simply that the motion event we are observing occurred _as_ the sun moved across the sky a certain amount, as the earth rotated on its axis a certain fraction of a rotation, as the hands of a clock moved a certain distance, etc., etc.
We would never have developed a sense of 'Time' if we had not noticed the regularity of certain motion events (e.g., the earth, moon, sun, stars) and had not made the 'guess' that nothing we can imagine will ever change that regularity of motion we've observed. The 'pace' of the motion we've experience is assumed to never change without some unexpected 'intervening' galactic [motion] event occurring that could alter it.
This is why the notion of 'Time Dilation' proposed by Einstein is so problematic. He may have been right about a lot of his speculations, but this one is more than a little bit dubious. It is suggested by E that a spacecraft accelerated to a velocity near the speed of light would experience a 'slowing down' it's Time. What this necessarily means is that the _motion_ of all things in motion within the spacecraft would slow down _relative to the motion of the earth, sun, and moon_ back on earth. That is the only way we can accurately imagine the slowing down of time for a fast-travelling astronaut.
What this means is that the motion of all the electrons orbiting nuclei in the spacecraft and in the astronaut's body would slow down relative to the electrons back on earth. Really? Where is the cause & effect? The linear acceleration of the spacecraft in a vacuum somehow causes the motion of all the subatomic particles within it to actually slow down? How so?
If Time for an accelerated astronaut (IOW, hiser motion) was actually slowed down by some prior acceleration event, wouldn't hiser physical movements be slower than everyone else's, once the cabin doors were opened upon hiser return to earth? You say they'd be sped up again to the 'normal' motion pace experienced back on earth? What kind of event could be imagined that would "re-accelerate" the atoms that were slowed down by the spacecraft's acceleration? Acceleration _against_ its established inertial momentum? But I thought acceleration slows Time (motion) down?
Logic tells us that the astronauts would not only be much younger than everyone back on earth, but they would also be observed to be physically moving _in slow-motion_ for nothing would have occurred that would have sped up their motion again. We can't simply assume that "something" would have 'automatically' occurred to restore their experience of 'Time' (their pace of experienced motion) back to what everyone else would be experiencing on earth.
This is the kind of problem that is revealed when one attempts to remove the concept of "Time" from the more fundamental concept of Motion.
Mathematically, you can create a Letter T that you say represents "Time" and put it into an equation, and then use mathematical operations to obtain 'equivalent' results. But if Time (galactic motion) is actually a universal *constant* , then pretending that it is actually a variable in an equation can surely give you some fantastic results (e.g., that Time Dilation can occur), but it is only because you have imaginatively assumed that the letter T actually represents a variable when in all observable reality, it is not and can never be anything other than a universal constant.
Physicists use math to make predictions, but the equations they construct are ultimately dependent upon the conceptual 'values' they assign to the letters used in those equations, specifically, those which are assumed to be 'constants' and those which are assumed to be 'variables.' I claim that Einstein's Time Dilation Error arose from his decision to arbitrarily assume that T --- a constant --- should perhaps be thought of as a variable.
The problem is that it is an assumption/guess that leads us down a path where the only way it is possible for us to accept predicted results is by professing a faith in *mathematical mysticism* . Defining the value of a letter in an equation as either a constant or a variable is an assumption---a guess---that may or may not be true, but it really does need to be justified by other assumptions/guesses that you have a high degree of confidence in.
Einstein may have been every bit the genius that he is heralded as, but IMO, he got this one---the Time Dilation Hypothesis---wrong...

Depending on what you mean by knowledge, knowledge can itself be a paradox.
@@TheSkullConfernece explain
Perpetually. As a child I used to annoy every adult around me with the philosophical Socratic depths no 4 year old around me could entertain. “Why didn’t the year 1994 come around like the month December?” My 3 year old self queried my father on the New Year’s Eve of 1993. It baffled my mind that we had multiple December-January, we had two 6pm/am et al, Monday- Sunday repeated.. but we would never have another 1993. He explained the concept of millennium, decades, centuries etc. but I had to question when we would get another 1993. It really did not ever stop until I annoyed my teachers and got bullied for my adhd & gifted IQ. So I started reading my parents old encyclopaedias in depth to satiate my thirst for knowledge, and one thing I read early was a quote by a philosopher saying “time does not exist but only clocks exist”.
That was annoying when my maths class went through units of measuring time, it was frustrating for me after I hit adult academics only to learn about the methods of philosophical error and enquiry. Thus far, in 2022, I have expanded my knowledge of topics like psychology, neuroscience & anthropology. I have a secret affinity for the weird metaphysics of quantum physics. I would never be able to academically apply this interest yet I still have the perplexing notion of time as a construct. A book called “timekeepers” was a brief history of time measuring before I hit a point of the Greenwich point and the law in Caesar made, making it illegal to have no two clocks that were different in France in the beginning of that calendar and clocks. Any clock that was wrong was illegal. then I felt deeply frustrated with the depth and lack of cohesion of the history and mythology of the mainstream academic world. I felt the same sense of nihilistic and existential dread that this topic induced within my perception; because I find my happiness in my studies, education and applying that skilfully to build a life of meaning. When I dive into topics like this make all things learnt void. I had a lot of deep self work that i went diving into my soul seeking a purpose when I felt a depression and trauma in my late teens. I did a lot of drugs. I pulled myself out and went through a long therapeutic self enquiry learning how to become a productive and healthy adult. But now years away from my drug fuelled teenage years I listen to this and I recall that vague notion of how I felt when I took a lot of psychedelics and the hopelessness of singularity that was pervasive. It’s all interesting to contemplate now from a sober and “sane” state of mind.
If the future were prewritten, then we are all passengers, observing the unfolding story, but not participating in editing or creating it. For better or for worse, I find myself motivated to edit the present state of affairs so as to create a better future. For an individual like myself, the present state of affairs includes my personal body of knowledge (which is demonstrably incomplete and almost surely littered with errors). So one obvious motivation is to enlarge and complete one's body of knowledge, including the correction of errors. This is called "learning" and it's one reason I elect to attend this YT channel (among others).
The best way to tell the future, is to create it.
While I couldn't agree that crE8ing the future is necessarily the *best* way to tell what it was going to become ahead of time, I'm far more ready to concede that it's at least a decently feasible way to predict beforehand what you're intending on (and capable of) crE8ing l8r. My Octology project on GitHub might even provide a poignant example of this principle in practice. Peace. -Pip
Im thinking the best way to tell the future is to only tell it to yourself and continue on to create it. Creating an observer might affect the outcome.

@Greg Moonen I'm not one to troll around and start debates, but until our country loses the greed, we're not going anywhere.
@Greg Moonen if humanity lost their greed then we would work towards the common goal. I assume the common goal would be to flourish. "Go forth and be fruitful" type of thing.
@Greg Moonen absolutely, but still at the root, in my opinion, it's greed. Religions that claim to be the one and only are greedy. Every last one of them. Every version of the Bible written or the Torah or Quran, will be shoved down people's throats saying this is the only true way. They're greedy.
They aren't capable of working with others to learn the bigger picture. All the high priests and gurus enjoy the comfortable lifestyles their followers have given them. They don't want to branch out.
The way I see it, -- and that is all this is, my opinion--every religion that exists is just one piece of the puzzle. All of which are too afraid and greedy to share their peace with humanity to figure out what the big picture is. Certainly that would help mankind in some way.

Beautiful explanation! Entropy seems to be the answer to most of our questions about the universe and our existence! Well done Sir! You remind me of my favourite lecturer at university.
@ Kostas Hatjiemmanouel
Philosophy, rather than astrophysics right ?
He was giving an entertaining speech however science fictioney but lost me when he mentioned "other universes"
This never ending space we are in is one universe, a simple dictionary defines that word as everything that exists visible or Invisible... The universe is Infinite no walls no stupid shoe boxes or cakes in the oven All that is matter anyway, universe is Space that is room for things to be and there is no limit just like numbers
Free class today ! :)
If we were to look at a 2-D + time universe, we'd be able to see their entire world at once. I wonder if a 4-D being could "see" our entire timeline at once.
Wow, lastly, I ask myself almost exactly the same question.
Yes, he could.
it's a bit hard to study the universe when you're part of it. always felt things are no different than a song going from start to finish.
what if you try to understand it from an observers pov?!
You cannot understand a process by stopping it, so you have to be among the things to understand them.
To study physics, you are a groups of atoms learning what atoms are. The human mind is one of the most complex structures in the universe.. according to the human mind.

My entropy increased whilst learning about entropy increason.
Yeah, that's bullshit, adding information to a limited space doesn't increase entropy
Actually +Kirkology, the total entropy of the universe increased. As I understand it, the more you learn, the more efficient your neural pathways become. This is decreased entropy (more order or more useful information?). But the work done by your biological systems so that you can process and organise information gives off heat (useless information), increasing the entropy of the external system, ie. the universe.
You explained exactly what I feel from a long time 😂 thank you!
Yoi shuold do another video on this in more depth cause this video inspires me to know more on this powerful topic. Thanks for all the great content Arvin! so excellent.

Maybe that is why death is inevitable.

"We'd better find a way to like this movie." But if it's a movie, there's no way to change it and that means no way to change how you feel about it. If you find yourself able to make yourself like it, that was going to happen anyway and you didn't "make" it happen. You just feel like you made it happen.
You can always change the way you feel about something.
Hi! Love your work. I was wondering, how does the block universe account for the notion of an expanding universe? Shouldn't expanding imply a time incrementing system? Thanks!
Each "frame" in spacetime would represent the state of what exists at a specific moment. It doesn't matter whether the universe is expanding or not.
Incredible! Love what he said at the end, "But this life is our movie and our only movie. We better find a way to like this movie!"

I really like Arvin's videos. His succinct explanations of subjects difficult to express are superb.
ask anyone - when did the past end and the future begin ? and that proves it
yes, Arvins videos , have a unique twist to them, they suck you in
Time exists so that we can know where the good parts are in TH-cam videos.

One of the best line which is not about making your future but about finding ways and trying to like the movie we all are living in… 🙏
Over 30 years ago I used a similar analogy with reference to the DVD in explaining what has always been referred to as the space/time/continuum.
For those who know what a film protector is, each frame represents a segment of time, and can be spun backward or forward.
I have also said that if this theory is correct, it can explain clairvoyance.
In addition, it will explain "predictability" in books, movies and TV shows.
Telling us that this ability can be learned and mastered.
Elaborate on the clairvoyance part please! 🙏🏼✨

But in a block universe everything is happening all at once... no? I never got this. So many people saying time is an illusion and then making statements that require time to hold true.
@@fabianaraya636 But still not in the same place and time. Any two events may only happen on different coordinates in the block universe.

I believe that free will exists not in the sense that we are free to choose the next action, but in the fact that all possible actions will happen in the span of eternity.
From this standpoint, our perception of making choices is more like navigating through the pre-existing timeline rather than creating new paths.
As the great, late Mr. Adams once remarked: Time is an illusion... Lunchtime. DOUBLY SO!
To bad he never got 'round to sending that one in to the Readers Digest....
What a trip. Thanks for this video Arvin. Really dig the way you explain this.
Thanks my friend.
Watch this one every time TH-cam's algorithmic overlord throws it up. Love it.
You are a good narrator, without doubt, Mr Ash, and…just I think i about to understand all secrets concerning time…I realise that I am where I was, right at the beginning of DVD.
First let me say that I enjoy watching every video on this channel.
Regarding the topic, here we need to understand for which observer the past, present and future in 4D space are illusions (1:51min) or whatever... This phenomenon can only be observed by a being who possesses consciousness, meaning God, and only from fifth dimension.
Furthermore, regarding the statement that time does not exist, only as a perception (2:27min), this is completely correct. Consciousness perceives the state transition from one third dimension to the next third dimension as time.
Further, at 3:07min of the video, the arrow of time is mentioned. And it exists within individual and collective consciousness. Do you notice that the entire reality revolves around consciousness?
When mainstream science begins to accept these things and apply them in theory and practice, then we will reach qualitative civilizational progress.
Greeting!
I have used that dvd analogy for years,I believe our stories were written before we were born.
Nādi Astrology (nāḍi jyotiṣa) is a form of Dharma astrology practiced in Tamil Nadu, and adjacent regions in India. It is based on the belief that the past, present, and future lives of all humans were foreseen by Dharma sages in ancient time.
If only you had been my science teacher when I was young 🙂
trust me it wouldn't have made a difference. no scientific genius ever got their skills from going to school.
Interesting. Love when my mind is kicked into overdrive by these types of questions. Ty .
I know " precognition" very well may sound metaphysical and non scientific but I know Ive had blips of this in my life.
When you talk about (Im paraphrasing) having to watch the dvd without a remote control, I believe at times people also have moments of glancing at other parts of "the dvd". :)
Ever have a " premonition"? I have.
This would make that make sense.
I love the end quote. ‘We had better find a way to like this movie’. Rather profound, as we are then not actually choosing, manifesting and living our present and future; we are finding ways to accept predetermined outcomes in deeper and more positive ways and find the silver lining in all the dark clouds if we are to be fulfilled in our life, as we know it and eventually death comes to those who wait to see what happens after the movie; if anything.
this is the best video on explaining time and entropy i have ever watched on utube
Thanks my friend. See you in the next one.
Einstein is quoted as having said: Our perception of the past, present and future is but a stubbornly held illusion.
I had what might be an epiphany once about 3 years ago while out jogging. During my run I was listening to my breathing & watching my steps when all of a sudden I saw a mathematical formula in my mind. I need to stress I'm not a mathematician and the symbols I saw in my head didn't mean a thing to me. But what came to me for a only a second or two was an understanding. That understanding was that all time existed at the same time. None of this made sense to me because I wasn't thinking about time. I wasn't thinking about anything in particular. I was paying attention to my jog. However this thought was so stark I stopped jogging & tried to grapple with this thought. However, almost as soon as it invaded my day it left & the math equation & its understanding was gone. I stood there mouth agape like an idiot in search of a village. All I can tell you is that for a moment, only a second or two and for whatever reason I saw clearly how all time existed at the same time & understood it! Well, anyway just wanted to share. Now I'm back to searching for a village.
"We better find a way to like this movie"... It's all in the eyes of the beholder
That's a recipe for disaster..
im afraid thats not part of our timeframe. so we might never know. and with we i mean me and the endless number of other conciousnesses that dedicated their whole existence to team up and write you this answer.... frame by frame :)
This channel is so great! You have an awesome way of communicating... I see big things in the future for you ;)
Thanks Arvin, good explanation, specially your last words.
Great video. I've vary interested in the "5D wondering pilot" version of quantum-consciousness theory; treating superposition as a phase-space, or rather a phase-time (treating the 5th Dimension as another time-like dimension) curved or curled at close to the plank length, and Orc quantum-consciousness computing with output selecting from these superposition states and enabling the shaping of the intersection of the 4D time-worm of the particles of the universe and piloting through a 4&5D landscape of plural futures arise from the plural aspects of the present and the definite crystalline 3&4D features of the observed present. While this is another version of Hammeroff's orc combined with Penrose's orc's "geometry" of consciousness, it still ends up with a Block Universe with plural superposition domains, and a multitude of coherent 5D states drawn into coherent networks around a number of 4D duration threads; this 5D block would be many worlds, every path taken by a different "choice", and relatively speaking, each one the only continuity of actuality from it's point of view.
Arvin, you always blow my mind! Your explanation tends unite two contradicting ideas of science and mysticism. Thanks!
Just found my new favorite channel! Thank you for helping us understand our "reality".
Beautifully explained Arvin. Life moves forward only because of increasing entropy. Man wills what he wants but can really will what he wills? In reality we are slaves of our senses, our instincts. We only have so much free will to choose.
Sir bulao usko.
Perhaps the best way to understand time is as follows, in my personal opinion. Time is defined as "freedom of motion of subatomic particles (matter) in 3 dimensional space". In its simplest definition, we can say "time equals motion". Based on General Relativity, we know time flows differently (albeit only in one direction in our current state of the universe) and is largely governed by the warping of space. As that saying coined by John Wheeler goes, "space-time tells matter how to move; matter tells space-time how to curve".
We already know space and time form an inseparable continuum which is termed space-time. 4 dimensions in total...3D of space and 1D for time. The next interesting question we can ask after defining time - what actually is the real meaning of "dimension" in this case? Why is this term applied for both spatial and time related attributes, even up to 8D or 11D as some theories put forth? I must say it's actually quite simple to understand, once we bring in the Bible to shed some light on these certain 'tough' to comprehend matters by themselves. For the Bible is the Living Word of God, Who Himself is the Creator of all these things - all the laws of physics, its inner workings, all the correlations we've been discussing thus far. Yes, much appreciation goes out to all the past and present physicists, mathematicians, scientists, academicians for their contribution to science and advancement of technology. Many in the present are still doing monumental, tireless research day after day, to bring us such magnificent discoveries. The book of Proverbs 25:2 says, "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory/honour of kings is to search out a matter." Here the Bible is telling us that God had all these wonders of creation hidden in the universe from the beginning and it's an honour for kings, a term referring to us humans who possess the highest intellect power in all of creation for discovering those hidden, concealed wisdom/knowledge...of course in particular those who dedicated their whole lives to exploring, studying and researching the vast field of science for the benefit of mankind 😃
As said earlier, the Bible indeed does provide a lot of hints/clues throughout to many scientific mysteries especially when learning more about the cosmos we're currently existing in. A brief answer to our previous question of the real meaning of dimension in relation to hyperspace is simply this - permission. How so? Well let us discuss about this another time...perhaps more fittingly in another excellent video created by Arvin just like this one. That video discusses QM, time, wave collapse and decoherence in which he did briefly mention God, if i'm not mistaken. Over there I'll attempt my best to elaborate when i'm freer. Perhaps we can even touch on the matter of Fine Structure Constant. For now I do need to scoot...sorry 😊
Nonetheless cheers to all, and special thanks to Arvin for tirelessly creating high quality videos of very educational, interesting topics and making them easily understandable to many curious minds the world over. A big round of cheers to you, my friend! 🥂🥂
I would have been disappointed if you didn’t mention how huge a role memory plays in all of this. Good job!
I was at a bible study group yesterday (on Zoom of course!) And, out of the blue - away from the subject in hand, which was the parables - one guy who sounded very depressed said "What is the point in life if it is already decided?" My feeble reply was that, with God, time does not exist. I usually say that our future is in our hands but I am not sure how that equates with your DVD. I find connecting my (flexible) religious belief with quantum mechanics absolutely fascinating! My belief in God is as a source of power or energy, certainly not a man with a white beard! And I believe anything is possible. No need to reply but if you have a link to something, then I am sure that will expand my knowledge. I tried to reply to your message but I was just brought back here!
Just sit back and enjoy the movie...
I don’t think consciousness theoretically requires memories to exist. It could just be a contemporaneous thing. However if you do posit that, I also don’t think it’s true that you could only have memories and thus consciousness if entropy is always increasing in the universe. Two reasons: one, why couldn’t we have “memories” of the future in a universe with decreasing entropy? And two, don’t forget that entropy can decrease locally in our universe (as long as overall system entropy increases.) Isn’t the local decrease in entropy the more relevant thing for a local process like memory?
By the way, I love your videos. Please keep making them.
4:04 the problem with this theory is that it makes the assumption that consciousness arises from neural activity, over the last few years many speculate consciousness is simply an “observer” we aren’t “consciousness” but rather consciousness itself. Consciousness itself is a fundamental mystery, so the theory itself isn’t very reliable.
There are many speculations, but there is no evidence that consciousness arises from anything other than the chemical and electrical interactions in the brain. All evidence points to this.
Maybe I'm missing something here. What you described, atoms forming, intelligent life (how about heavier elements?), have all happened after the Big Bang (as per average theory). These are not entropy. Only at this point in our perception is everything falling to chaos. We're not that good at clocking the universe yet. Time is what we call our measurement of motion. The object that is 10 feet away is also moving ten minutes away with me, often with imperceptible changes. Those changes will eventually redefine the nature of whatever it is we've moved into someday. The journey will have redefined us as well. None of this validates any notion about us being pre-programmed accidents waiting to happen. I've heard this kind of talk before. Somebody somewhere is trying to sell us a cake and eat it too. If all pre-exists, then learning to like it is superfluous, free will being an illusion in that scenario. I feel more like it's just a fancy way of selling us indemnity in exchange for resignation. I may seem off point here but even if we can't catch planet killers (stuff too big for us) it doesn't mean that our wiggle room amid greater forces is predetermined and pointless. It's conjured conjecture.
I love your thought process and analysis in taking these ideas one step further. Indeed learning to like the movie on the DVD is superfluous - but I wanted viewers to leave with some sense of control. False hope is better than no hope, no? It is conjecture, but not conjured, as it is based on some solid evidence. And the laws of physics fit in such a predetermined universe. So based on current evidence, this is no more conjured than string theory for example. I submit that free will is conjured conjecture.
@@ArvinAsh We have different definitions of conjure. I'm sure both uses are correct as definitions go. I think we're still missing a few fundamental laws of physics. We're on a plateau and can't do much more that clean and polish the table. Free will isn't exactly accepted world wide, but it's pretty much explicit when we expect people to be responsible, right? Can't have it both ways unless we can adequately demonstrate how it works both ways.
No doubt some fundamental physics is missing which would answer these questions. The free will/no free will argument does seem to present a paradox to ideas like responsibility.
Chaos has order and is quantifiable. It's only hazy at the edges
Chaos allows for something good to happen, it’s just in the minority and will break down without divine intervention.
Perhaps choice will is better than free will. All our choices may have happened in advanced or simultaneously but we still have some limited control. Each moment we seem to be choosing from a limited number of paths that have been predetermined. The grooves of time just happen to know in advanced what they are. 🎚💛🤗
