Time has puzzled scientists for many decades. Does it meaningfully exist apart from our experience of it as everything moves toward the disintegration of entropy along its irrefutable arrow? You can’t put the “spilled milk” of the weirdness of time back in the jug. In new research published in the American Physical Society's peer-reviewed journal Physical Review A, scientists from Italy (led by Alessandro Coppo) try to translate one theory of time into real life—or, at least, closer to it. The theory is called Page and Wootters mechanism, and Coppo has studied it for years. It’s a quantum mechanics idea that dates back to 1983.

“Time May Actually Be One Big Illusion”

The entire physical universe is an illusion. It is perceived in different ways by different observers. It has no meaning except to the observer.

How do you all like me so far? :-)

In the unltimate sense, there is no time, only the present moment. Oor minds can go there.So samadhi is posible for all uman beings.

This I can understand. More and more I feel like I am allowing myself to remain in the present moment.

The other statements, while I am not unfamiliar with them, I can't really wrap my tiny brain around.

Since all phenomena are said to be an illusion it doesn't seem like a stretch to consider time as an illusion. It's just one more bit to stop fixating on. :)

The Present Moment...
.
Seems That Is the most important to Us.
Fixed between Two Eternities. We are given the Past to study to determine our Future.
We demonstrate in the present Who we are now to fix our place in the Future.
As I see it Man has not yet reached his Ultimate potential but Has been given the Way by His Creator Jesus Christ which is A Gift by a Loving Father GOD Almighty 🙏
