I think I undersand what you mean, but what I am trying to understand is how something that doesn`t exist can affect something that does in the here and now. If the past doesn`t exist, then how can it affect today? You can say "the past is gone, it doesn`t exist" well then if it doesn`t exist then how can a photo exist? If the past doesn`t exist then it must have the same value as if something that never happened.
For example if you listen to a recording of some old jazz band from the 1920`s, how can that record exist if the past doesn`t exist when it comes to the here and now? What I am trying to see is if that record proves that the past does in fact exist and must exist continually for that record to exist.
To me, something that happened in the past and something that never happened cannot have the same value as it pertains to the now. I really think time can be defined as a sequence of multiple universes constantly being formed which gives the illusion of space, movement and time. If time slows down the faster you move to light speed, then wouldn`t it be safe to assume that at some point time must reverse? It can only slow down so much, but Einstein says mass will become infinite. Does this mean mass literally leaves one universe and enters another?
See, what I`m trying to do is find the answer to time travel so I can warn people ahead of time the horror of Hillary Clinton as Senator. Maybe even go back further and warn people of the Bill Clinton national security holocaust of the `90`s.
If the starting point doesn`t exist constantly alongside our reality, would we see this pic? Remember, the guy is dead. The year 1865 doesn`t exist any more than a photo of Jesus on the cross, yet here we see Abe Lincoln because someone made a stamp in time, took a photo of him. The past must exist on a constant for this pic to exist and therefore the past does exist. But can it be breeched?
