Conversations with a sceptic (3): Time

 Q: 

If you believe in God or anything else , you must also by definition believe hr/she exists . Nothing can exist without time because time is the concept that simply delineated a sequence of events.

when people talk about time travel they really don' talk about changing time, time is simply a concept, they talk about changing sequence of events. 

The way we perceive time is relative. A boring lecture way feels longer than it is while 1 hour of fun with friends will feel much shorter than the actual hour.
The theory of relativity also states that time goes faster the higher a gravitational potential is.

Seems to me that time is not a constant at all, neither with-in nor with-out of me. So, from a purely scientific point of view, I would say a state where time is zero is indeed possible. But don't quote me on that, I'm not a scientist. 🙂

My personal theory is that time works like a carousel. Time passes much faster at the edges of the carousel, and slows down the further inward you go. If you take this example to an infinite center, it follows that in that (infinite) center, time will be equal to zero.

For me this is also a great model to explain what happens during meditation. An untamed mind will race all the time at high speeds. Through the practice of meditation, you learn to quieten the mind for longer and longer periods and slow down the chattering, until you reach the center, where there is no movement, no time and you become the observer, the witness of the world that passes you by.
