Will A Time Machine Change Our Perspectives Forever?
A well-known television news show recently featured an astrophysicist talking about a project she was working on to turn back time and venture into the past. I was fascinated, but somewhat skeptical as to the potential success of such a mission.
She went on to explain that although we are currently experiencing the present moment, we are continuing to also look back into the past, while being in the present.
How does this work in our everyday reality? Imagine looking up at the sun. It takes as much as eight minutes for the sunlight to reach us, which means we are actually looking into the past.
The same applies when we are gazing up at the stars at night. Depending on a star’s location it can take starlight anything from four years to as much as fifteen billion years to reach Earth! So, once again we are in fact looking into the past.
I must admit it took me some time to wrap my head around this. However, once the concept made sense, I was able to grasp onto the meaning of all this.
She has been working diligently as part of a team for a number of years on a ‘time travel machine,’ for lack of a better term, that might have the capability of traveling so far back into the past, their hope is it could reach the exact time when the planet came into being! The time machine is set to stay in space for at least five years and hopefully reach a ten year time span.
Not only would its success afford humanity the privilege to see as far back as the beginning of time, but the machine also has the capability to go to other planets and determine whether there is for example, water, air, and any life forms existing on those planets.
Looking at these stars suddenly dwarfed my own troubles and all the gravities of terrestrial life. I thought of their unfathomable distance, and the slow inevitable drift of their movements out of the unknown past into the unknown future ~ H.G. Wells
I am so excited as to the prospect of possibly being able to watch such a fantastic event unfold in my lifetime. Astral travel has enabled me to visit several other dimensions and planes of existence, and I have witnessed many magnificent sights and fantastic beings. However, the idea that we might all be sharing this new and wonderful information creates a different kind of excitement for me, because it will validate some of the things I have long sensed and known to be true.
What I am wondering the most about is whether these new cosmic discoveries will change my perspective on what I have metaphysically known and accepted until now. I am never afraid of examining and embracing new data or alternative information. Narrow-mindedness is certainly not conducive in my line of work!
But I must ask myself, will the ultimate findings of this new time machine change my point of view as to how I conduct myself. Will it open up the world to me in new and challenging ways? Will it take me out of my supernatural comfort zone? Will it create a new reality for me that I never might have anticipated otherwise? However this amazing project may unfold, the prospect of it profoundly changing my perspective already causes a thrilling jitter within me.
Having the opportunity to experience it too, how do you think it might change your perspective on life and everyday reality?
