Time Moves Forward - Never Backwards

Time is the continued sequence of existence and events that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, into the future.It is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience. Time is often referred to as a fourth dimension, along with three spatial dimensions.

Time has long been an important subject of study in religion, philosophy, and science, but defining it in a manner applicable to all fields without circularity has consistently eluded scholars.  Nevertheless, diverse fields such as business, industry, sports, the sciences, and the performing arts all incorporate some notion of time into their respective measuring systems.

All of us will get older each day...  not younger...  and there is a possibiity that our views on life will change as we get older, but the odds are what we believe earlier we will always believe...  Not sure why that happens other than we just do not want to be aware of the world around us...  taking our existence for granted...  and making the assumption that someone will always be taking acare of us.


When Einstein was alive, he said time was relative...  although, he also referred to it as space time and that space time or the fabric of space time was curved and warped which was one of the reasons we had gravity.  But, more importantly, space time continues until it curves back in on itself and the end of time merges back with the beginning of time...  that point in time, is referred to as a singularity.


Life is a circle or a ring a space time.  It is also believed that all points in time happen at the same time so that the past, present, and future are all happening simultaneously as we move through space time.  So, what happens to the time that we left or continue to leave each nanosecond of our existence?  I can see what I typed a second ago as it is still on the screen but my body has still gotten older and has gradually changed.


Another interesting fact of life is that spacetime seems to move faster the older we become.  Our days seem shorter and move by quicker.  And, when we get in our 70s we begin to see this transition and realize that most of our life is gone and there are only 1-2 decades left for us.  Our views on life change and we see life around us differently...  However, this does not happen to everyone...  Many people don't reflect on this transition at all...  we are just oblivious to space time.
