| Time: the system of those sequential relations that any event has to any other, as past, present, or future; indefinite and continuous duration regarded as that in which events succeed one another. (definition taken from dictionary.com) When does time cease to occur. Is the past always occuring, or does it remain the past and never occur again? Obviously, I just watched The Lake House, in which letters are passed through time. Previously, I happened to watch Time Machine - a really old, but okay movie. In both these movies, time is presented as a demension. Actually refered in the latter movie as "the 4th demension". It actually made sense. Everything on this Earth can be manipulated, why can't time? It is nonstopping. It is continuous and indefinite, such as numbers. However, in numbers, one can stop and then begin again. Why can't the concept of numbers be related to the concept of time. I know this thinking is overrated, outdated, and impossibly done, but what if. would one really want to go back in the past, forward in the future, and change their destiny. Even though our destiny is in our own hands, one mistake can make or break it. What if this one mistake could be changed, but that could changed our entire lives. What if movie in time was as easy as moving in space such as in the movie Time Machine? I know these movies are fiction, but sometimes it's just amusing to ask the what if's. “A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”~ Albert Einstein |
