Time flows in two directions, past and future

[haukipesukone]

I was thinking about the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. There a Japanese school girl is sort of like God, since she (possibly) created the world 3 weeks ago.

When we think about the Big Bang, we think that it happened millions of years ago and from that moment time started going forwards. I propose that when the Big Bang happened time started flowing into the past and future, not just the future. The closer we get to the Big Bang, the faster time flows. Since time seems to flow pretty fast nowadays compared to couple of millennia ago, the Big Bang must have happened a little while ago. Maybe 5, 10 or 60 years ago. Or perhaps it happens 2012.

Also there might be more Big Bangs than one. Perhaps every 12,000 years or so. They uphold the fabric of time.

Big Bang = scientific BS

Time as a dimension = scientific BS

Time is an illusion.

I'll expand on this, time is motion. There is no "time", merely three dimensions of space and entropy. Things move, change, conflict, react. But there is no timeline.

Inorder for there to be a timeline, you would have to somehow return space itself to it's former order, sortof like piecing together a broken vase. And somehow leave yourself out of that equasion if you want to be conscience to reshape time to your liking once it's as it was before "the future" came...

Yea... someone that see's it at last!!! :cool:

the general quality of any temporal discussions here can be rendered part and parcel of the 'generally counterproductive' side of objective understanding.

there's three sides to time, and you'll need more than an anime to tell you that
