Proof that time is continuously looped all at once?

Proof that time is continuously looped all at once?
I think long and hard about evolution and time. "we evolved from apes..." "why are there still apes?" and whatnot.

There is also now fish that crawl on their fins, and some that 'walk' on their 'feet'.

Is it because time is continuous, and happens all at once? I'd like to ponder this idea that we all exist, simultaniously, at a constant point, and that time is always 'present' and never past or future, that the future and past are now.

There is no time. It's not in a loop. There is no time to loop.

Thats why you can go back in forth in time. Because there is no time to go back and forth into.

depends on your point of view. if you are above the 4th dimension you see time as a loop. above the 5th you see time as almost instantaneous. below the fourth you see time as linear.

research into dimensions and nature of reality.

Re: Proof that time is continuously looped all at once?
Here's another oddity in perception of time that I have been pondering lately:

There is a delay from the time of an event to when your brain is aware of it. Therefor what we think of as present is already past and what is actually present we perceive as in our future.

yes, because "present" is a singularity.

Time definitely exists - human measurement of it is the illusion. Time is measured by humans as a mode of duration. In all actuality, time is a SPACIAL DIMENSION.

If you can put away the concept of time being linear, like a train rolling down a track, never to return. Then you might be able to picture a sphere with a point of light circling its surface. That point is "now" & it does pass over areas that have been traveled before.

I will preface this by saying I don't believe in reincarnation. Having said that, I've always found this concept put forth by Robert Anton Wilson in Illuminatus! Trilogy rather interesting.

Excerpt from page 500:

"Reincarnation works backward in time," Hagbard went on, as the narcs opened drawers and peered under chairs. "You always get reborn into an earlier historical period. Mussolini is a witch in the 14th century now, and catching hell from the Inquisitors for his bum karma in this age. People who 'remember' the past are all deluded. The only ones who really remember past incarnations remember the future, and they become science-fiction writers."

Does that mean I will be eternally suffering through horribly painful experiences? Damn it. I'll never be free.

 Quoting: Seneca

I agree, that's an interesting concept. For one thing, it would help explain a lot of the knuckle draggers I get to deal with daily. They're just "ahead" of me! Now I suppose it might be a little easier to smile when one of them is complaining about some "major" problem...

...of course, they'd be ahead of me because they died more often, so theoretically, the more together you are, the better you deal with life's problems...again, the farther behind you fall with your peers...

...of course, this may help reduce some suicide rates. "Dear, you can slice your wrists if you want, but all you're gonna do is end up with a unibrow next time"...or maybe, "Fine, hang yourself, but I'm not shaving your back when you come back all furry!"

:)
Be offended. It's my gift to you.
For a few seconds, it means you're awake...
