Time is an Illusion / El tiempo es una ilusión de la mente / Die Illusion der Zeit / L'illusion du tempsDuring my whole study of math (at University Twente in The Netherlands) I severely struggled with 'rational' numbers and 'continuity'. Not with the concept 'continuity' as defined in technology (Euler, Bolzano, Cauchy, Dirichlet, Heine, ...), in practice here it is seen as a limit of discrete numbers, with a stepwidth nearing to 0. But with treating 'rational' (virtual) reality as sensible For instance: what is in sensible terms time when seen as continuous, what is 'curved space', moving forward in time. .
Most results of 'rational analysis' I could transfer to sensible discrete math, but when seen in common sense I noticed serious flaws in the processes differentiating and integrating. Much to easy processes where simulated as being 'continuous', while 'continuity' is a (virtual) property in 'rationalism'. 'Life' in sensible terms is discrete (as is history), and 'mathematical analysis' got much too much used as metaphysical law of nature. Resulting in in-sensible concepts like: gravitational constant, lightspeed constant, .... Be sure in earth conditions lightspeed might very well be the maximum observed speed but that has no predictive value for space.
I'm not going to redesign 'rational' reality, just give some clues as input for your common sense imagination.
'Rational' 'continuum' physics gives in 'rational reality' (Continuum Mechanics) as empty 'rational' definition for the 'rational' construct 'time-space': The four-dimensional continuum of one temporal and three spatial coordinates in which any event or physical object is located. 'Rational physics' uses the 'rational' ideas 'continuity' and 'temporal', and measures in 'rational' way.
The human sensing of 'travel' is totally set by 2 things: dualism (since birth if catholicism) and our use of the notion time (since Enlightenment).
Let's for the moment forget about dualism and focus on 'time'. Interesting: There is no record of who first came up with the concept of time
'Time' is a purely human help-mechanism for managing human life, and directly related to what we humans 'see' (light). We relate travel to 'time' and to being somewhere totally (100% of our body), even 'time travel'. Internet taught us that being somewhere is not related to our whole body being there. We see on internet a train leaving Paris while most of our body is in say Amsterdam. We sense a train in Paris, because electromagnetic waves don't have the limitations of light and our eyes.
In Startrek way we could say we 'beam' part of ourselves to the station in Paris and sense around. Space travel!
That way travelling is not restricted to being with 100% of our body somewhere. And travel is not restricted by lightspeed. Presuming that travel is restricted by lightspeed is a peculiar kind of circular reasoning, that seems totally addictive.
For a moment imagine particles with say 1000 times the 'speed' of light. It's impossible to detect such phenomena with procedures built around lightspeed. In earth conditions lightspeed as maximum works perfectly. But in space conditions being able to sense far away planets 1000 faster is spectacular. We cannot travel to far away planets with al of our body but we can do Space Travel (be present with some delay in 'internet manner').
Just as real, only different.

Light Speed
Lightspeed: A peculiar mix of the illusions 'time 'and 'distance'. Perhaps the most mistaken presumption of the physics genius Albert Einstein was presuming lightspeed to be an evolutional constant. Convenient presuming that 'time' is reality and results in light-'speed'. And inventing the peculiar concept 'spacetime'. Everybody recognizes the effect of seeing a building crash, before hearing this crash. No reason for much confusion. Why can there no some sensation before seeing the crash, based on 'particles' faster than light? 'Space' is just reality, and 'continuous time' is an Enlightenment-IDEA. 'Spacetime' is giving an Enlightenment-idea a refashioned Enlightenment shape. Because Cartesian math (calculus) is ANOTHER Enlightenment model. Back to much more proven Discrete Math, .. much more difficult but also more reliable.
'Spacetime' resulted in weird 'rational illusions' like 'gravitational constant' and 'curved space'. It could be a consequence of Einstein using the superfluent concept time (superfluent in space=reality). 21st century physics will leave this 'rusty' standpoint, that causes all kinds of paradoxes. Especialy in quantum physics.
The picture theory: the rusty 'scientific' mind-models 'time' and 'age' are not continuous, but just like the picture shooting process have 'gaps' .
Using mainly memory results in what doctors call 'aging' (having an energy drain). Shooting fresh pictures results in still making sense ('young of mind').A model 'Madonna' camera with a huge filled memory mainly used to take creative pictures....
| Dictionaries give definitions of time like:
continuum of experience in which events pass from the future
through the present to the past One might take pictures of reality with movie or times machine gun speed, but never continuous. Humans observe space at calm speeds, and mainly use memory. In in social affairs the dubious technological notion 'time' totally infected the sub-religion 'social science'. Resulting in treacherous hallucinations like 'time is money' and 'time travel'..... Time is a sequence of energy jumps. Time travel is more like time archeology: research of those energy jumps, through scrutinizing tiny 'time jumps' in their sensory dimensions 'sequence', 'local semi-continuity' and 'structure'. Brains are complex shapes of life, but as input-output process elementary. Brains need energy, supplied by blood. If input is less than output brains start dying. As long as growth of brains neurons is bigger than dying of neurons, brains are 'healthy'. That's not a matter of the fantasy 'age', brains stay healthy as long as used flexible. |

The illusion Distance
Distance: Space is an Enlightenment concept to have a studio for 'progress' of
reality or make movies of the mutancies of how the selection virus learns.
'Evolution' decreases use of energy for simular changes to alter the one and only reality. There is only 1 reality, that changes. Since Enlightenment space (reality) is presumed to be dual (split in human creators and creation) and 'continuous'. The fantasy dualism inherently includes 'distance'.
'Continuity' contradicts the common sense experience that 'things' are discrete.
'Distance' contradicts the common sense experience that all discrete things are connected (gravity, electric field, path of steps/leaps, ..). 'Very very far away' may be 6 steps..
'Differential Calculus' (mathematical 'analysis') is quite useful in engineering, but in behavioral life a NIGHTMARE
A 'scale is an ENGINEERING tool that measures 'distance' when two energy states influence each other. You could as well measure 'love' when 2 persons influence each other.
'Distance' is an illusion, all emitting things (of your frequency) are sensed (or not) . Only some 'emitters' are 'new' and other 'emitters' are bones or dust. Feeling that your forefathers emit in your Reality makes sense, only the moon may emit 'more'.
A group of astronauts walking on the moon is still 'touched' by your gravity field, your electric field, your magnetic field, etc.
The astronauts are discrete humans with intertwined energy-cloths. That accumulated 'cloth' is not 'continuous', but un unlimited 'cloth' with gaps.
Earth Evolution is discrete sequence of energy rebalancings in connected reality (the total cloth). 'Space' is the sequence of ALL rebalancings (the All).

Aging is a slowing down of taking pictures of reality, retrieving most pictures from a 'filled' memory, and scarcely using the intelligent 'zoom'. 'Space' is a personal (or cultural) earth equivalant of the album of pictures shot of the products of selection virus Evolution.
The All doesn't change, but every camera makes different pictures and has own memory.
| The popstar Madonna is too much alive for rigid local reality and observes little change. Madonna quote: Time goes by so slowly |

The illusion Time
2) Time: Enlightenment concept to explain the engineering idea 'wear' (spacial rearrangement of matter) and the phenomenon that jumps between energy states in 'evolution' (selection) are sequential. But 'wear' is only negative growth (matter emitting less). The engineering aid 'time' is not-sensible.
To keep things progressing on earth, evolution equipped all earth cameras not only with a memory card that archivates change, but also with DNA (a learning 'zoom').
This to prevent archives with rigid movies.
'Age' like 'time' is a simplification of sense information in the logic 'rationality', the 'rational clues for 'age' only point at positive or negative 'growth'.
Evolution 'prefers' lean use of energy, little energy jumps (being relaxed) means 'going with the flow' (stay 'young of mind'). Brains get 'tired' (outdated and seemingly 'slow') when 'change' within their culture gets outside their 'mind-span'.
Every jump might be seen as 'ocean' or 'drop of water in the ocean'. Jumps are seperated by history, certainly not a 'continuous' history. Realizing that a sequence of jumps might be felt as 'ages', but also as 'minutes' makes history magic.
'Yesterday' not seen as picture related to 'the present' but as 'collection of movies' (paradigms) contains oceans of wisdom. Because some movies were locally boycotted from 'common sense' (like the 21st century communist Chinese 'leaders' totally clean internet).
The long-term behavior-archive of brains (dna) is simple, but getting info from short term memory 'common sense' consumes much energy, and points to loss of creativity (possible start of absolutism). Scientists who mainly USE locally scientific knowledge (frozen variant of common sense) get 'old' soon (like those who think that the physical fantasy 'continuity' fits reality). Evolution is beautiful.
Sometimes locally in The All there is a mitrailleur burst of snapshots. Then 'evolution seems 'continuous'. And practically in rational engineering that is a fine basic. Only that hides the fact that 'age' and 'time' are invented tools to explain the general loosing grip on 'reality'.
The tool 'time' is relative, it points to the energy jump an individual needs to produce the mood that'll be the trigger of reaction to a sequence of events.
Something to ponder: 'Time' relates to your brain getting filled. But the filling happens in different 'speeds'. Time is Relative

Logic is a picture of the Past used as map for the Future
The Enlightenment concept 'time' was an attempt to get grip on 'technological wear'.
In technology it rapidly became a VERY valuable concept. In social life it became a disaster.
Logic is an attempt to predict (freeze) the Future.
The Future in evolution is uncertain, the 'photo' logic only makes it seem predictable.
Logic is a picture of the rules in some view of the past, with predictable rules.
Major paradigm shifts are times when The Past is seen with new eyes (leading to new basic rules).
Three important ways for humans to make sense of reality by learning from the past are:
1) dna. That takes listening to the very old archive of sense experience in your body
2) history. That takes exploring the younger archive of sense experience in our memory
3) logic. Juggling with the presumed rational Laws of Nature.
Our dna is always improving, but in very patient way (learning from hundreds of mistakes).
Our memory of history improves, Our conceptual scheme (logic that fits our history) is always improving too,
also by learning from ineffective 'sidesteps'
Our belief in the 'rational structure of the universe' is weakening

Speed of Change
'Time' is perception of technical wear, social behavior 'changes' so slow in the human brain that 'time' is no adequate measure. So the 'frequency' of your senses is the maximum speed of wear you can perceive. The 'frequency' of major paradigm shifts is a clue for the 'speed of social change.
But things are even more complex. Your brain substitutes missing 'pictures of reality' with virtual pictures.
A Formula-1 driver racing around a bend takes a lot of pictures of local environment and adequately reacts. Drivers with less 'talent' see a lot more virtual pictures of the same bend in the circuit to make their movie of bend-reality complete. As a consequence they take decisions with lesser 'quality'. And might crash.
The perceived 'speed' of change is the frequency of the virtual pictures.
So for masters of the technology involved with 'driving' (talented drivers) the bend is technically qualified as 'jolly fast'.
For average drivers as 'madness'.
It appears that at least 9 out of 10 'liberal' politicians ('don't interfere' adepts) never visited poor parts of Africa. They are 'desk scientists'. When confronted with rape, brutal slaughter, hunger and EXTREME poverty, in most cases their opininion about 'aid' completely changes. Try to say "I don't interfere, I unpartially OBSERVE" , when talking to a mutulated young woman who's belly was ripped open with knives after being painfully raped by 17 soldiers.
For fossilizing cultures technological change may seem reassuringly fast. They perceive virtual change (copied cut and paste 'images of reality'), and technological change only.
Progressive members of those cultures perceive little social change. Next to fast technological variation they perceive very slow social change'

Common Sense and the myth Free Will
All beings on earth of around human size are designed as water creatures (even birds). That means that they are designed for water density.
Beings made for wood density are relatively small, for water density around human size, and in air density should be huge.
Ants are very fast and strong when magnified to human size. Whales move like airplanes and are extremely strong when magnified to air density size (airship).
Humans are limited beings. At birth DNA 'memory' is HUGE but limited (it is an archive of effective sense behavior). During life the archive is extended with an amount short term sense info, but only what is in this archive can be used to steer behavior. 'Wisdom' is not 'Free Will' but acting effective based on 'limited' number of examples. Humans can only optimize what is added to the brain-archive during 'life'.
Airplanesize is relatively way too small and airplanes (and even birds) are too dense for moving with relatively low energy in air.
More like huge albatros birds. Nevertheless albatrosses beat Airbusses hands down when it come to the grace of flying in air.
Airships have the future and might be very fast, like Germans scientists already realized mid 20th century.
Automobile industry and Air industry must be extremely powerfull to pause such common sense knowledge.
At space density space vehicles should be of size planet, to move relatively fast with relatively low ernergy use.
Brains are super-super-laptops but nevertheless with a limited number of neurons.Even a super computer can only use the instructions that are available.
'Free Will' is as arrogant as giving a super computer 'freedom of speech'
You can only travel 'roads' that are in your brain-'map'.

Sensing life as Discrete is like feeling 'jumpy'
Since Enlightenment the concept 'time' totally influenced the western views on life.
And these views since the ancient Greek 'Aristotle' already were heavily distorted by 'egoism' (worship of 'non-being').
With result that Western people seriously 'lost' the ability to sense the energy state 'history'.
Now especially the concepts 'linearity' and 'continuity' were like heroin.
'Time' is perfect in skill to judge 'wear', but inadequate in social life.
A 'jump' has no 'length' or 'distance'.
A more 'common sense' view is considering earth life as an earthbound unlimited energy field 'history' with border 'now' (imagine it like a 'sun').
To present life as a flame as in Zoroastrianism makes sense, From the state 'now' lightnings penetrate 'history' and explore 'future' (sunflares).
Then 'history' and 'future' are energy jumps.
In 'rational' view 'paranormal' people sense energy pictures
Like feeling the different energy pictures of the energy field 'life'.
And switch energy state now and then, with as base the state 'now' (they are like electrons temporarily 'promoting' to another energy state).
That makes them 'see' in 'rational' view weird movies.
Until now very rarely western people have the talent to hang (like electrons) in the 'jump' from 'now' to 'history' (like a hangglider)That way such hoovering 'prophets' sense the movie of 'History' while still acting in the movie 'Now'.
Such 'superwizards' realize that 'history' is only an energyfield bordered by 'now'.
And by reading this field are able to do remarkable predictions. (like the Polynesian 'navigators' were reading the subfield 'ocean').It helps to consider 'life' as an expanding field.
With jumps of size tweuron (see the brain) growing or 'dying'. Brains explore the field 'history', not functioning anymore when the 'now' is smaller than N (braindeath). Earth life is only a field like a molecule of size S in space. Only possibly interesting for extraterrestrial intelligence of similar size.
Ants don't 'see' elephants, nevertheless ant-life is beautiful.
Human life in space is like ants looking for similar ants while evading elephants.
