THE GREATEST ILLUSIONS
I’VE posted numerous times about my opinion regarding money and power, both human-created illusions that it’s possible have brought more misery to humanity, the biosphere and planet than any other individual factors, existing as I believe they do, beneath the fabled four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. My point, however is that they are not the only greatest illusions but they are human-made.
To these two, I am rapidly approaching the point where I will have to add a third: Time. H.G. Wells in his THE TIME MACHINE, wrote about the possibility of time travel. Before he passed, Dr. Steven Hawking toyed with the idea that theoretically at the Event Horizon of a black hole, time might be so distorted that one could travel backwards. To this I would add that “according to theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli, time is an illusion: our naive perception of its flow doesn’t correspond to physical reality. Indeed, as Rovelli argues in The Order of Time, much more is illusory, including Isaac Newton’s picture of a universally ticking clock.” — https://www.nature.com/articles/d4158.... Even more recently, with the James Webb telescope, scientists have claimed to be able to look back to 100 million years after the Big Bang –- which happened around 13.8 billion years ago. Even more recently, the possibility and even the plausibility of travel through space/time via “wormholes” has become a hot topic.
This brings up an interesting corollary: If backwards time travel is plausible, what about forwards time travel? If a black hole is constantly sucking in matter, where does it exit? Inside our universe or another? And if it does, where exactly can we direct the James Webb telescope to look for this “entrance” back into our universe, either from matter from this universe or others? Perhaps the greatest challenge today’s generation will face is identifying illusion from reality.
Despite the potential paradoxes of space/time travel, I believe there is every evidence that at least backward time travel is possible, if not in body, through instrumentation like the James Webb telescope. I’m currently writing the sequel to THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor called “Prophecy” that delves directly into this topic, including the nature of the soul and its potential role in space/time travel — https://janik.yolasite.com/author.php.
May I invite you to join me in what promises to be the ultimate adventure trip in “Prophecy?” Get ready! Grab a copy of THE EDGE OF MADNESS to prepare. Then buckle your space belt and get ready for the ride of a lifetime with “Prophecy.”
