small question on linear time

[flofrog]

hello everyone,

I have this little question.   For a long time, I have been thinking, a bit because of Einstein conception that if you left Earth in a fast rocket enough, went far enough and came back, you could come back on Earth in earlier time, all this about the theory of curved space time.


Soo... for a long time I was thinking that to keep oneself wanting specific  lessons, you could in fact  plan to incarnate at different periods of linear time and so it would be possible to incarnate, for example back in the middle ages, or the renaissance.  But after studying the LOO and listening to these great podcasts of Jim, Gary and Austin,  I think it seems that in fact each linear phase exists in linear time in 3D and so it probably is not possible to come back to an earlier one, and sort of  'add to the history ' of what Earth has lived through..

Any thought on this from anyone would be much appreciated

Hello flo,

I think it is possible to travel forward in time but not backward, it has been 'somewhat' tested with atomic clocks on two planes going in different directions.
You would need to travel in light speeds for the effect to be impactful, like you said it has to do with curved space time. To travel through space is also to travel through time because they are intertwined, so if you were to travel in light speeds the flow of time would be diluted and different to you.
Earth and the solar system are also moving through space time at their own speeds, and depending where you are you feel the flow of time differently, if you were to be nearby a very dense object like a neutron star or a black hole the flow of time would be very different to you then to us on earth, same way I'd imagine if compared between us on earth and someone on a different planet with different curvatures and movements through space time.
I think also that past and future are local constructs, and that they are all the same present moment. I'd like to think of it as if looking at creation from a fast forward bird's eye view starting from the big bang to now, it looks like a single ongoing moment, like a heartbeat.

dearest Ada, how funny you precisely were interested into that ...

excellent paragraph, I love it !!

Its really interesting because there is an LL podcast, #25, if I am not wrong, which precisely at one point Gary and Austin talk about that.. I have to check if it is 25..
