See that's everyone's blindspot.

They can't envision a universe without time and so they think in finite units.

The Earth's birth is going on right now, so is it's destruction. The configuration already exists, the exact events - all of it. That's why you're eternal - even Raoul's eternal (much to his chagrin, I'm sure) - your presence here "right now" means you exist throughout timeless, spaceless infinity.

There is no "tomorrow" don't you see? No "two hours" from now or even "two hours" ago! It's all energy in different configurations - time is just the perspective consciousness has as it interacts within this everchanging flow of energy.

Time is measuring the flow of change with another known flow of change.

Well, there are infinite variety of steady flows of energy which can be compared against the flow of change. If we use a flow that is traveling faster than 186,282 mph the entire "material" atomic universe is accessible all at once. All of our lives are accessible to that stream of energy...as are the lives and histories of every physical planet in the universe.

Time disappears.

It's a solid pulsating mass of energy...infinitely complex and it contains within it ALL time and ALL space.

That's the real joker here. Just because you have lived more lives than someone else or "longer" does not mean you are any older - you are not. The energy that comprises "you" is merely in a more "evolved" or complex state. You can be born on Earth and have a million years under your belt already - or you can have 10,000 years.

The future is NOW. You or I, ER or anyone here could've already experienced Earth's future (measured from this point 2008) and be born into the 20th century. That's why the child prodigies and the people who can be born in the exact same year and yet seem to be vastly disparate in their intellectual and emotional development. The Leonardos, Teslas and Einsteins were not superhuman - they simply had more "development" and could even tap that when they find themselves in a time period where such knowledge does not yet exist.

Imagine ER found himself born in Scandinavia in 1143. He sees the crude ship designs and instinctively decides they look primitive, he knows a better way and proceeds to become the best ship builder the villages have ever seen. He adds multiple masts, invents a better rudder and a sleeker hull design. His designs are copied and set the standard for sailing vessels for the next 100 years. Would it be a miracle? Not at all. He merely would be carrying certain past intangible memories of things he's seen and already understood.

I know many folks here have already experienced traveling in space through spacecraft and exploring other worlds. That's why they are so drawn to it.

What I do here is much the same. These descriptions and understandings come from the "future"...and yet they can influence the "past" because the future and the past exist alongside eachother when you cross them with a stream of energy oscillating FTL.

But I'm not out to convince anyone. Everyone here will find out for themselves..."sooner" or "later".

For right now I'll settle being seen as "loopy". This time period is still far more open-minded and has the rudimentary tools for understanding these things than the masses had just a short hundred years ago.
