One of Albert’s best known theories was Relativity. He said that everything is relative. In his theory, Einstein explains that the faster we move, the slower time goes until, as we approach the speed of light, time stops. However, time is relative to other concepts besides speed. Have you ever noticed that time seems to drag when you are bored but when you are engrossed in something interesting, time flies? Have you ever noticed that people who love what they do seem more youthful? That’s because they really are younger. Time is relative. In fact, we create clock time as a convenience. Clock time is simply a way to order our lives. Physicists have concluded that time travel is possible.
To understand the true nature of time, it is helpful to think of it the way we think of space. Think about the possibility of having been in London yesterday, in New York today and going to Miami tomorrow. London is in the past, New York is the present and Miami is in the future. In reality, all three places exist at once. You just experience them in a linear fashion and call it time. Put another way, there is no past or future, only the present. Jane Roberts called this idea the “spacious present.”
