The Theory of Relativity

e=mc2; so what does it mean? It is how time works.

I haven't actually studied what Einstein wrote, so forgive me if I don't use the same terminology or have a slight flaw in the description. Here's the theory in simple language:

Time is infinite and travels at the speed of light (or electricity); if I recall correctly, that's roughly 144,000 miles per second. At the moment (to at least the 144,000th of a second) something is created, it has an e=mc2 factor attached to it. From that point on, it ages until it is reduced to dust or ashes.

People have long wondered about time travel. Geniuses have long known it is possible, though Einstein was the first person who told us how to do it. Here's how you advance in time: go faster than the speed of light. If you could reach a speed of 288,000 MPS for 24 hours, you would be one day older, but you'd be in the day after tomorrow. To go back, or forward, 100 years in one year, you would have to travel at 14,400,000 miles per second for that year.

Obviously, we have nothing that can physically withstand that speed - except our minds. Mentally, we can go back or forward 100 years in a split-second. If you think I'm saying that we can think about it in today's world from where you sit, you can, but you can go beyond that. Nostradamus did, and so did Edgar Cayce. They did it in transcedental states, which is very close to dreaming except there are cognizant abilities.

The phenomenon that we call 'deja vu' (feeling like you've been there before) is most often associated (relative) to dreaming. We recognize day dreaming as our minds wander off the topic at hand. Do our 'minds' really 'wander off?' Certainly, our physical brains don't, so it's easy to conclude that our minds don't actually leave the location of our bodies.

I think that's a very short-sighted conclusion. Near-death tales often contain elements of traveling through 'a light.' Physical scientists have concluded that it is the visual affect of dying brain cells. They talk of seeing dead relatives. Physical scientists suggest that is just memory. They talk of seeing their 'entire lives flash before their eyes.'

What physical scientists can't explain is what happens to the 'life energy' at death. Energy cannot be destroyed. It can, however, alter form.

That doesn't prove that our minds can actually travel, but rather suggests that the possibility is not eliminated.

Back to the topic of time and relativity: imagine a line with arrows on both ends. From that line, we snag a loop which becomes 'our time.' We do with 'our time' that which we 'will.' How we 'spend' or 'expend' our time is up to us. When 'our time is up,' our life energy leaves our physical bodies and does whatever our life energies do after physical death. Perhaps we even have some control over it, but I don't know.

Time never began, and it will never end. It just is, and it affects everything by aging it.

So let me run through this scenario: my grandfather died in 1989 at the age of 86. I have a picture of him taken about 1920. As of today, it's roughly 87 years old. Is it now older than my grandfather?

Of course it isn't. It never will be older than my grandfather. My grandfather's e-mc2 factor will always be from earlier in time. He's in the picture, and he couldn't have been there before he was created - unless he went faster than the speed of light to do it!

"On Oct. 5Th 2001, I woke up in the middle of the night from a dream crying. I turned to William and told him that I saw two planes crash in mid air. I was confused by this dream, the planes had both hit something high in the sky,at different times. I knew that they had not hit a mountain nor each other. I also saw many people hurt and even a flash of someone falling mid air ,Not out of the plane. I was perplexed as to what they could have possibly hit, I just knew that it was monumental. This dreamed scared me,I have a strong history of , " Deja Vu." Ever since childhood. I was worried because I knew something awful was going to happen I just did not know when.

My sister in law had come up to Washington for a visit on around Sept 5 Th, We had a wonderful visit. As she was getting ready to leave on a plane Sept. 10 Th 2001, For some reason I blurted out what I saw in my dream, mind you this was right before she was about to leave. So you can imagine the look on her face. She must have thought I done lost my mind, to tell her this at that time. So I turned to her and said, " Don't worry it's not your plane."



So I feel time travel can and does exist. But what in our minds give us the ability to receive warnings. Also why would the same "gift," not let us Warn others. What is the purpose?

I presume you meant September 5, 2001, but the story is interesting.

That experience would not be what we would consider 'deja vu,' but please don't take my statement that you don't experience it often.

Deja vu experiences are those moments when you walk into some place for the first time, but 'you feel you've been there before in a dream;' you are talking to someone, but 'you feel you've had this conversation in a dream;' you're in a common situation when something happens, and 'you feel you've experienced that noise in a dream.'

Deja vu is 'that feeling,' not 'that experience,' and usually is something mundane, but 'feeling like you've (seen that/been there/done that/said those things).

Your dream startled you. The subsequent feeling in consciousness was not one of 'hey, this happened in a dream, but how did that dream end;' I imagine the you felt more like, 'if I had only looked for the details, I might have been able to alert people.'

Then, of course, you'd go make a sign that will be interpreted by others to mean 'the world is going to end tomorrow,' and the truly kind and concerned common people will hand you a dollar, suggest you seek help, or call the cops on you for your sake.

'You must not feel guilty' about any of what 'you believe' saw, or what you believe is the subsequent event 'you believe' you foresaw.

You had absolutely no control over it just because 'you believe' you foresaw and misinterpreted.

Consider this: had you been heard, and the plot was averted because 'the beans had been spilled,' the common person would simply point out that 'it never happened' to prove that 'you are crazy!'

It's a conundrum that is virtually unresolvable.

Here's how I see it working: the world needs doctors, and we should regard those who ascend to that level of education very highly. Becoming a doctor is not an easy task; it requires much dedication and hard work.

Reality changes very drastically when one acheives that level of education, and the common person will never experience it to the degree and frequency that it becomes inescapable: doctors are relatively so rare, and the demand for doctors is so frequent, that if doctors never slept, they still couldn't meet the demand.

If you feel guilty about 'not saving those you had no ability to save,' imagine the guilt you might feel about 'not having enough time or resources to save lives you would be capable to save.'

We say 'if only I had been there,' and the likely result is 'you would have died with all the others;' a doctor says 'if only I had been there,' and the likely result is 'a life would have been saved.'

If we remove from 'all of us' the subset of 'doctors,' then those feelings would be 'very common' amongst that group. The brightest and best of doctors are not immune to these feelings; however, there will be identifiable qualities that 'reflect more' from 'some within that group' than with 'most within that group.'

They are 'the elite of the elite.' 'They rise' (defy gravity) from within the group (subset) of doctors. Suppose the quality that makes them rise is 'they are able to teach people who already have this level of knowledge.'

If we now only consider that subset as the whole, there will be 'identifiable qualities' that will make 'some rise' even amongst the elite of the elite.

Regardless of how far I took that, there will always be those who 'rise above the others' until/unless 'one person' 'comprises the group.'

It's pretty hard to imagine a 'group' as 'one,' so 'others' 'may believe' 'there is an error in your math.'

They have a point. It must be considered, addressed, and resolved, or it will always be 'a point of contention.'

We are not required to answer all critics, but to not answer them leaves open the possibility that 'they are correct' and 'you are incorrect.'

Life is not about 'always being correct.' It is about 'rising as high as you will.'

Moses claimed to have seen a 'burning bush' appear. Scientists have explained this phenomenon as 'spontaneous combustion.' So, in order to 'scientifically theorize' that there is no God, 'they presume' that Moses 'knew it was a bush.'

Was it really just the best description for 'that light' that others throughout history have claimed to see?

Nostradamus 'slept deeply and dreamt;' Edgar Cayce went into a 'trancedental state' (trance). Rose suggested that I consider that these were not 'internal meditations,' but, rather, what 'those in the know on these kinds of things' call 'astral traveling.' One looks deeply internally in a meditative state. One looks deeply externally in an astral state.

It seems to make sense, but how does one prove it?

I don't have 'the correct answer' for you as to how you dreamt this. An author wrote a book about a ship called the 'Titan,' the largest ship ever built and deemed to be unsinkable, sinking on its maiden voyage. The book was written very shortly before the Titanic set out on its maiden and final voyage.

'They did not listen; they're not listening still. Perhaps they never will.' That is the suffering of genius in lyric.

You can develop that skill and knowledge if you so will.

I believe what I experience is called precognition and not Deja Vu. I'm taking your blog a little at a time You have many things to say that have relevance. I am enjoying the read so far. Very intresting how your mind works.

Tom Koecke said...

Precognitive means only 'prior awareness.' It would include prophecy, predictions, forecasting, and many other things.

Were 'you there,' or did you 'just see it?'

You don't need to answer me. You need only try to figure out what you believe you experienced, and why it happened. For example, were you particularly rested or unrested? Did you feel compelled to go to sleep that night more than other nights? Have you experienced that before? What was common about the experiences? What was different?

When I went into deep thought about Darwin and Aristotle, I saw a diamond. When I started doing the math on the blog, the diamond didn't come out as I had seen it in my thoughts. I found my error. I had fallen prey to a lineal conclusion. We must always question why and how and what.

I guess the point is that we should always check our math!
