Time travel, the idea of time travel was something I was fascinated with since I was in 5th standard And it just seemed at that time, that some day some one will make a time machine to alter the events of the past or to change events of future. But I was so fascinated by the sheer idea I just did not stop there, I couldn't. As time passed I started reading about 'time' and I attempted a lot of times to wrap my head around the idea of time. But I always felt that there was something that I was missing about time..... I mean it was very weird and seemed quite obsolete at least for me it did. I've spent countless hours thinking about this particular subject just to understand it better. So that I can finally understand the mechanics of time. But it just never happened...... I was always lacking information...... And I asked everyone I could about time... And most of them being my age never took the idea seriously they were in their own world thinking about only they know what.... But I still did not stop I kept on going I was curious about the future, more specifically I was curious about the moment when I finally understand the mechanics of time....... Needless to say that moment has yet to come. But there is something that I have understood about time...And possibly that's all there is to it........ But before I get into that I wanted to say this, there was a time when I was excited about this world all the wonders it has, all the new information which can be obtained through various means, all that knowledge just there for the taking..... It all just seemed to give a hint of a greater purpose, something that you will see when you gain more and more knowledge.... Or to put it in words of a gamer, the more levels you gain the more competent you become in fulfilling the games true purpose..... But now that I have gained some knowledge it has left me speechless... I just don't see any purpose.... May be I don't have enough knowledge yet to understand the actual purpose and possibility of this being the case is quite high, but I am not expecting to find out the real purpose just yet what I was expecting on the other hand was at least some sign that it may exist somewhere beyond my reach.......May be I came to a wrong conclusion after learning what I have learnt till now or may be I have learnt nothing or some other possibility that I am just not able to see like a lot of other things.......
Anyways getting back to the point I was trying to make earlier, I kept on reading about time and I started processing it it was not easy at all, sometimes I was just lost, I used to get stuck in infinite loops of actions and consequences of those actions and more actions cause of those consequences and so on..... Cause I did not understand how to solve that particular problem, and frankly until very recently I was stuck on a number of subjects due to my lack of skill in solving a problem..... So finally when I understood the mechanics on how to tackle a problem I started revisiting the old problems which I was stuck on and slowly they began to unravel and they started showing completely astounding phases........
So this is what it boils down to when we say 'time'. It's just a matter of perception. Time may not exist in this whatever this is, as a element or dimension or substance or anything that you can name. To put it simply if you can name it it's not time. Cause it is something that we humans have invented to keep track of events that occur in their respective lifetimes. Past,present and future are nothing more than a series of events in one's life. That's all there is to. And as soon as this human race becomes extinct so will time cause it never existed to begin with. But it was such a beautiful concept that it took hold of everyone be it in the past be it in the present of be it in the future. Everyone finds time fascinating at one point of their life or another. Then I started wondering why use something as unreliable as time? Why use it on our daily operations? Doing things timely or not doing them timely does it matter at all? And after all this once again I reach to the same impasse I've been stuck on for a long time now...... Does anything matter in this whatever this is....?
I suppose this is what happens when one goes in search of something so vast that it probably may be out of his reach,simply beckoning him to keep on chasing from afar but never actually coming within the grasp of the said person........ But then again I suppose it's better to chase an improbable hypothesis or an unreachable goal than to simply ignore all the things that surround you and continue the possible delusion that possibly is as old as the curiosity itself.....
I still am looking for answers to all these questions but now I understand why it is that people put their faith into something that they call God and keep on believing that there is someone called God who is looking over them through every event in their life be it good or bad. And when he wants to he can change their lives just like that.
I would just like to quote Epicurus,
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?
