Why space and time are just an illusion. Biocentric universe theory

>Past. Present. Future.

>In physics, they are all the same thing. But to you, me, and everyone else, time moves in one direction: from expectation, through experience, and into memory. This linearity is called the arrow of time, and some physicists believe it only progresses that way because humans, and other beings with similar neurological wiring, exist to observe its passing.

>The question of time’s arrow is an old one. And to be clear, it’s not whether time exists, but what direction it moves. Many physicists believe it emerges when enough tiny particles—individually governed by the weird rules of quantum mechanics— interact, and start displaying behavior that can be explained using classical physics. But two scientists argue, in a paper published today in Annalen der physik—the same journal that published Einstein’s seminal articles on special and general relativity—that gravity isn’t strong enough to force every object in the universe to follow the same past»present»future direction. Instead, time’s arrow emerges from observers.

A new article in Wired cites a recent discovery about the true nature of time and space. In the [article](http://bigthink.com/robby-berman/biocentrism-says-time-and-death-are-illusions-youve-invented), they elaborate on a theory called biocentric universe theory, which ultimately concludes that time is an illusion which exists only in the minds of the conscious observers. I researched and reached a similar conclusion, that time and space only **"matter"** because of subjective experience of it, which is to say that because each of us cannot be everywhere at the same time, we are localized, but this doesn't mean the universe itself is localized. It is possible that on some deep quantum level the universe is non-local and I have reached a similar conclusion, that the universe is biocentric.

My conclusion and thoughts on this subject

In essence the universe exists because consciousness exists. Without consciousness to perceive of a concept like "space" or "time" why would time have an arrow? It doesn't have an arrow without consciousness to give it that arrow. What does this mean for the emergence of the universe? It could be that time is a dimension which emerges because of consciousness.

There could be an indefinite number of universes that can emerge. Why did this universe emerge and appear to be fit for life? In a multiverse it would simply be a matter of probability and with enough rolls then eventually you would get this universe. In a singular universe, this universe is so improbable that it would be next to impossible to get it on the first try. This new information about the nature of time confirms something important, which is that gravity isn't strong enough to create time. This means we may have to investigate deeper into what causes consciousness in the first place, and if consciousness causes the illusion of time, then what could the universe be if there is no beginning or end of it?

A fractal has no beginning or end. It emerges and is infinitely complex in any direction you look.  Pi is also infinite, it will go on forever as a string of numbers, but these numbers do not appear to be entirely random. Why is that? When we study these things, could we be studying consciousness itself, or perhaps the shape of it? Could we be studying ourselves by studying the universe?

Very interesting. I am glad that this type of content has found its place on Steemit. The Universe, everything and stuff :)

For starters just a quick question:
1. if time is just an interpretation of an observer - how come that we ALL interpret it the same way / direction?

And yes, i agree that the universe is a wavelength function where all points are interconnected through space, time and any other dimension we are not aware of, that we are unable to observe :)

Another question about singular universe.
1. if the universe is singular and single then the probability of it existing is 1, isn't it?

We don't. When one subjective experiencer dies, their time ends. Correct?
Collectively, the sum of all subjective experiencers produces the arrow of time.  If no one was born or died, what would time be? It would be change? But there would be no arrow, correct? You wouldn't know a word for beginning or for end.

Look at a fractal. It always produces something new, changing and permuting infinitely, with infinite detail, but it's really just a formula, a constant, which doesn't change. The only thing changing is the perspective and perspective exists because of the observer. 

At least that is one way of looking at it. As far as a singular universe, statistically it's senseless to think this universe could happen on the first try when there are so many possible failed universes or dead universes which could have unrolled instead.

:) I'll go backwards.

If singular universe happens then it is the fact that it has happened. Hence the probability is 1.

But .. if you are saying that our universe (the reality as we perceive / imagine / collectively observe it) is the only one then ... yes, the odds are somewhat small.

What was the theory which stated that the state of a particular universe depends on its initial speed at birth? That all the constants are determined at the point of the creation and if the speed is slightly different then these constants are different and we get a different universe.

Which brings me to a question - did the universe (any universe) really happen if there was nobody to observe it at birth? Or is this yet another aspect of our skewed perception of time? Or there really was an entity outside of the universe observing and thus creating it?

James Gleick has a new book out about time travel in physics and fiction.

And I just started this book today.
