“That would mean that it might be possible to send communication signals through these other dimensions and perhaps get a message from the future.”
I’m finally beginning to see some people agreeing with my opinion that time is not a dimension, but merely the way our brains deal with the fact that everything in the universe is in constant motion.
You can’t go back in time, because the past is gone. Things have moved on. You can’t go forward in time because the universe has not assumed that configuration yet. It’s not there.
“time is not a dimension, but merely the way our brains deal with the fact that everything in the universe is in constant motion.”
I admit I don’t know a lot about this, but hasn’t it be experimentally proven that time is a dimension with atomic clocks in space?
You know, time for the astronaut traveling at near the speed of light literally slows down.
The faster you move, the slower pace of time. So, time back on earth is 20 years, but time in the near light speed space ship is only five years.
Also, your post is confusing to me. First you say that time is a function of consciousness, merely the way that our brains work, then you say that the past is gone and the future has not yet occurred.
But, then you say that it isn’t linked to our brain, but is a physical reality.
So, which is it?
Here is an interesting show about time travel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiusH2-6OaM
