If what you say is true, then the definition of the timeline is incorrect. If what you say is true, there is an infinite number of paths already defined for each of us for the future. It is indeed an interesting concept of time but I must admit to not being able to comprehend its meaning. My reality and my science is based on the definition of time which I proffered in an earlier post.

My society has based its whole science and technology on that definition. Our engineering and technology have been implemented on that definition of time. I hope that you will be able to develope your science on your definition. It would be, to say the least, very interesting.

Assuming what you say to be true, how would you select which path to take? What would happen if you chose not to make a decision on which path to take?

I realize that this is simply a computer thread of little consequence, but you have proposed a very interesting hypothosis. It bears further disscussion.

The definition likely is incorrect and that's why we have differing opinions on it.
If what you say is true, there is an infinite number of paths already defined for each of us for the future.
Yes. Some call it destiny; others call it Karma. But it gives us choices and some control over our lives and it imposes responsibility for our choices in the form of rewards and punishments.
My reality and my science is based on the definition of time which I proffered in an earlier post.
I never assume that any definition is final, including my own.
I hope that you will be able to develope your science on your definition.
It's not my definition alone and there probably are people a lot smarter than me trying to develop a science around it.
Assuming what you say to be true, how would you select which path to take?
As I said, we make decisions and choices every day and each decision and choice that we act on puts on a new path among countless others. Your decision to join that society set that possibility in motion and it happened. You could have done many other things, instead, if you chose to do so.
What would happen if you chose not to make a decision on which path to take?
Then you leave it up to chance and you are not taking control of your own life or other people will lead in a different direction. It's very common.
