And apply Einstein’s theory of Relativity (time and space are not constants), and you may find this took place
not “quite” that long ago, in terms of “actual” vs. “apparent” time...
So... reality is atemporal?
I’ve been thinking that time itself runs faster or slower depending on gravity/mass/energy interaction too
Now if I can only get several Billion dollars grant I can prove it
Exactly, I wonder the same. Our earth “space time” is not the same as elsewhere, shouldn’t we have some sort of “universe space time index” and measure earth space-time against that? some type of ratio?
I’ve never heard of any such thing though(?)
