Random Tattle and Waffle On Life and Possible Time Travel

One of the ways I imagine our reality is like an infinite loop that recreates itself infinitely, in infinite directions. like driving on a road that moves your destination further away from you, the closer you get to it. I imagine that this happens because time moves way faster than us humans and all our means of transportations.

For example, if humans could run a thousand meters in half a second, you could be tempted to say that that is time travel. You would be wrong. You would be wrong because if the distance doubles to two thousand meters, the time needed to run it would also double to a full second. I believe that as long as the time doubles with the distance, time remains faster than us and consequently, we can neither travel ahead of it nor go backwards in it.

Next you might wonder if ''pausing'' time would make any difference. You might ask if we could we travel back in time by pausing time and retracing our steps. As tempting as that sounds, I don't think it would qualify as time-travelling to the past because everyone else would be stuck where we paused them and we would be the only ones moving. That honestly looks more like being faster than the rest of the ''paused'' world and getting to the future before them. 

Ok, I admit that sounds like time-travelling into the future. Perhaps, time travel would only work for travelling to the future. We could maybe stop an accident by moving a kid out of the way of an oncoming vehicle. If the car has already hit the kid though and we retrace our steps and push the car back, the effect of the hit would still be felt by the kid because it has already happened. The only way to stop the kid from feeling the effects of the hit AFTER it has happened, seems to be to somehow, rewind time like '80s and '90s kids did cassette players. Staying with that analogy, we would then ''record'' new events over the old ones.

If this theory and logic follows, it would mean that every time one human goes back in time to change something that has already happened, and everyone pauses, they would create a new reality/dimension. This new reality/dimension would of course house their consciousness as it dies off in the old reality that was taped over. 

If all humans had the ability to do this, it is not far fetched to assume that all 7 billion people on earth would have at least one reality where their consciousness exists and rules. One reality which is their world. One reality where they are the protagonist and everybody else has a supporting role. we could posit further that these worlds, realities, dimensions, what ever you chose to call it, would have all started from one consciousness. 

One life. One reality that split or reproduced and passed consciousness to a second life simultaneously creating a second reality. Then this process repeated itself and created more consciousnesses, all, or at least some, of which were capable of splitting/reproducing themselves and creating new realities and consciousness. Just like a virus spreads and reproduces under the right circumstances.

So as new consciousnesses keep multiplying and reproducing, our infinite loop of consciousness, our universe, keeps getting even more infinite. Just like a car on a journey that gets further away from it's destination the closer it gets to it, from any and every direction.

  1. Something to ponder on....does the journey begin when one is born or is being born just an episode of a reproduction of a new reality?

    1. Interesting. I would say they're both the same thing. When people are born, their journey begins and their birth is simultaneously an episode of a reproduction of a new reality.
