Linear Time itself may be only a perception.. i.e. of humans..

More like plants and rocks --they stay still.

Anything moving has to give up linear time and put up with shrinking (non-linear) time.  If you got a space ship that sped up by 22 mph every second then it would feel just like earth's gravity was pushing you back.  Riding that sucker for about 25 years would make your speed be so high that your time would slow to the point that you'd watch the earth die of old age at 5 billion earth years later.  In fact, if your space ship could speed up at a faster rate then you could ride around while the entire universe fades away for all eternity.

...humans have a distinct problem with INFINITY..  or anything “eternal”...

Naw, eternity just isn't all that it's cranked up to be.
