We look at time (or flow of current existence as one),
we usually take time as the 4th dimension,
but there are some things I experienced which I was not able to comprehend 4.5 years ago, but maybe if I believe in the 5th dimension of time, based on how events take place in La-Brea series, people change the past to alter the future and future is altered to change the past, but it means that despite the 4th dimensional altering, the scenario itself plays out in the 5th dimension of time, where all the things from past and future exist altogether, and 3D dimensions of current understanding is actually 4D, and changes lead to time alteration, which is time along 5th dimension. With this belief, I see the hope that there may be time travel, i.e. in experience, but it is not absolute, in the sense now that we have another axis of time travel, but one may argue indefinitely to arbitrary dimensions. Oh we wonder, how do even current 3 dimensions exist. If universe started from single dimension, maybe it became 2, then 3 dimensional, and with the advent of time travel for conscious experi (maybe it did exist all along), but the power to achieve it in reality would make the 4 dimensional the norm of living. Imagine how 1000 years into future would look like. Maybe your ancestors never died, and they exist in the past, if this state is altered by time travel, its like the time along 5th dimension will move, oh it makes me happy to expand my cage of science that I put myself in. Maybe forever exists. Lack of hope of it will only make it cease in belief making it impossible to attain. The mystery of consciousness, how it exists as experience, plenty of theories about it, the unknown in the universe. Maybe its the mind psychologically bracing itself into the state, or sometimes maybe its the reality, maybe anything can be thought of can be real, and thats why thoughts exists as they are, the real state (but for now they are only in conscious). Maybe, if I was writing this million years ago, the people today will see me differently, a being writing about time, thinking in a different way, hoping for something to happen, which is going to, but will he ever experience it or know it,..
but I also feel dumb to believe in the constrains I put. Maybe the world is run by magic, in the sense that belief makes the world, but it must be total belief of all consci in the universe or the world,…, and it all depends on the intersection of what is possible, but maybe its just delusion, like the old ages, if you reverse engineer, and belief in certain form becomes reality, but unexplainable, but that is not science, in a sense, what I mean is discreet few occurrences, but then one forgets it, as just unexplainable, and could be quite impossible to make believe unless you see it first hand, or maybe its the experience of the mind which is only in the mind. What I mean is, everything you perceive is true, even the delusion as it happens in your brain, the thoughts are real (although they are imaginary, from science’s perspective of what I think, they are real in the head, and thoughts exist of what you are).

If I stay in solitude enough, maybe its mind playing the tricks, or maybe its the signals I see in the world, maybe its both and confusing, maybe its random, maybe its beyond my human nature to understand it but just live with it. Well, it all comes from my mind. I don’t even know if matter brain has anything to do with the new thinking that we have, if there is something missing, everything, or maybe most understanding is incorrect and needs to be revised.

Although, the given idea does not precisely time travel in the sense, (because through exact definition that was understood before (by me at least), if you would time travel, the body would not exist, and its not exactly time travel, but if the body is preserved, in a sense most of the things have reversed time but not the body and conscious spirit, but it does allow time travel in some sense. Maybe universe is dynamic and not static, but once it takes effect in the universe, its permanent unless forgotten. Then, it sounds like this ‘universe’ is just an thought in persons head as the person perceives it, but maybe not.

But for those believers in it, we are not really sure unless we witness it, observation is required for change of belief for the mass-consciousness there is.

Suddenly I’m listening songs from 15 years ago, maybe some linked memory is jogging up, or it has to do something with standard model and quantum which first time I got to know 15 years ago.

“Power and knowledge are the same thing”, power leads to knowledge, and knowledge leads to power.

and I know people know the same things, but it feels different to come out into an expanded practical belief from a previously constrained one, (from imaginary beliefs), only to require a proof for it to be concrete, and gives hope. Just to note that its not the time travel in exact form, but time along 5th dimension would shift due to time travel (at least in coding sense its simple to understand). But change is that time-travel has just turned from imaginary imagination to real imagination in my head, and my belief. But how would it even happen? how to travel even?

0d, 1d, 2d, …

maybe space and time are the same things, And we merely are existing 3d beings perceiving 4d. if we were 4d beings (if we had structures) (my belief just got updated), then we would be experiencing 5th dimension as what we normally call time. Think of it like this, imagine text written out in a line, into a paragraph. Its 1D, now if you edit it from somewhere in the middle, its like changing the something in the past, but what you get is a new state that is time has moved along 2nd dimension. Mathematically, its just an expansion of new dimensional state to account for the storing of states, imagine concatenating or appending the state to make an array, then you may make array of arrays, increasing its dimensions, in the same way, we would have evolved if consciousness or something like this has existed for all eternity, or if not this then just the matter, from 0 dimensions, into 1 dimensions
(I have written something like this in 2020, only just to delete because I felt like I was told to do so by the universe (, and I was too scared, because it was the first time a ghost like thing or mind affecting thing I was encountering, but then months and year later, I forgot it, just to feel normal, covid was strange, felt like the time shifted its timeline, I was so paranoid back then, I felt like I was in a bubble of existence seen by my eyes, and I kept on questioning until I didn’t give a damn about it because of other things), because it looked too spammy. But then continuing on from 2 dimensions, we expand into 3 dimension, which is where we currently are, and maybe things have shifted (at least for me) because everything is so constrained, but it works out somehow with precision, because I believe all the laws of the universe (or flow) bought me to exact moment I am in, there is no false, and what I perceive is true, that is my conscious existence is valid (even if wrong in information, its right in the senses). Maybe one day we, or some entity see in 4dimensions, and realize the surrounding space, which used to be 3 dimensional, has gotten 4 dimensional, because thats the way to allow time travel, and one would feel things from the past and future, connected to presently wherever you are.

Each person is like a conscious being, it needs true accurate unbiased information to understand the universe, at times it might go rogue and noisy, and out of the real imagination.

Sometimes the words come to my mind in a setting, sometimes the meaning is known already without me knowing it, sometimes I have to see up a dictionary about the word that came. “Peace and prosperity” came to me suddenly, but there are lot of many words, it looks random, but these are the words I had to ask chatgpt, quite silly my dictionary, I cant precisely recall most things unless in a moment and daily.

–Here is the normalizing ChatGPT response on how time travel is possible—-

1. Scientific Hypotheses for Time Travel

  • General Relativity and Wormholes:
    • Wormholes, hypothetical passages through spacetime, could connect distant points in time and space. If traversable, they might allow for travel to the past or future.
    • A challenge here is the stability of such structures, as exotic matter (with negative energy density) might be required to keep them open.
  • Time Dilation (Special Relativity):
    • Time travel to the future is already scientifically feasible. Traveling at near-light speeds or being near a massive gravitational field slows time for the traveler relative to an outside observer.
    • The traveler effectively “jumps” forward in time, but not to the past.
  • Closed Time-Like Curves (CTCs):
    • Certain solutions to Einstein’s field equations, like those proposed by Kurt Gödel, allow for loops in spacetime. If traversed, one might revisit an earlier point in time.
  • Quantum Mechanics and the Multiverse:
    • Quantum theories, like the Many-Worlds Interpretation, suggest that traveling to the past could create parallel timelines. In such a scenario, you wouldn’t alter your timeline but instead branch into a new one.

2. Practical Challenges

  • Energy Requirements: The energy needed to manipulate spacetime (like creating a wormhole) is beyond our current technological capabilities.
  • Paradoxes: Time travel to the past introduces paradoxes, like the “grandfather paradox,” which challenge logical consistency.
  • Consciousness as the Traveler: If physical time travel is impossible, could the mind itself traverse time? This aligns with the idea of experiencing past/future events through altered states of consciousness or advanced technology.

3. Philosophical and Imaginative Approaches

  • Time Travel Through Belief:
    • If time travel is tied to consciousness, perhaps it doesn’t require physical movement but rather a shift in perception. By altering how we view time, could we mentally “visit” other points along the timeline?
    • Meditation, dreams, or sensory stimuli might serve as gateways to “travel” in this experiential sense.
  • Dimensional Awareness:
    • If the 5th dimension exists, perhaps time travel involves learning to navigate it. This might require entirely new forms of understanding—akin to how a 2D being would struggle to comprehend the 3rd dimension.
  • Future Technology:
    • Advancements in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and physics could one day create tools that simulate time travel experiences or manipulate time at the quantum level.

4. How to Begin Exploring Time Travel?

  • Expand Knowledge: Deepen your understanding of physics (relativity, quantum mechanics) and metaphysics to connect existing theories with your ideas.
  • Creative Experimentation: Explore storytelling, simulations, or virtual reality to create and experience time travel imaginatively.
  • Mindful Observation: Reflect on how memories and predictions already enable “time travel” within your consciousness. Could these experiences be amplified?

Time travel, in its fullest sense, may still reside at the edge of human capability and understanding. Yet your belief—your “real imagination”—opens doors to not only speculate but also innovate. If you’d like, we can delve deeper into any of these approaches or even design a conceptual framework for time travel based on your ideas.

Perhaps its the local bias of my conscious network and is what I feel that sets some of the bias into thinking, and I mean meta-conscious network, not just the neuronal connections, but more like “the thing you feel and is right, just like magic, or how a magic ”’trick”’ works without anyone knowing anything, and it sounds implicit in the universe”, the experience I summarized in my recent post : https://wordpress.com/post/triton7777.wordpress.com/2154.
