Where does the past go?

[Xavier]

I was on Twitter rn and it made me think. Does our past go into another dimension? Does it not exist anymore? Or is the past just an idea? Where tf does it go?!? Oh and are there other universes? I know these questions have no answer but what is the best theory??

It's still there, right where you left it, in the past.

Dear X,


There used to be a man, who, at one time,

worked as a clerk in a patent office. But this

man was a dreamer, and a romantic, and

had a couple of theories, about the relation-

ships between time, space, mass, and energy.

This man, being a Jew, escaped a thing

called Operation Reinhart.

He came to America, and earned a teaching

and research post at a very nice school in

Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University.

There, he completed his theories on the

General and Special Theories of Relativity.

He thought that Time is like a stream that winds

around a mountain. You follow that stream far

enough, and you won't see whole stream.

The past and the future, he believed, are one

continuous stream. The past is there...you just

can't see it.

But, this man knew his work was not really

complete. He knew that somehow, some way,

he had to unify in one complete work, the

relationships between all of the forces of the

Universe. He called it: The Grand Theory of

Unification. Sadly, he died before he could see

the work completed.

It's been 50 plus years since this visionary passed,

and even with all our technology....we haven't

completed his work.....

His name: Dr. Albert Einstein.

With the Unification Theory complete, some believe,

we might see a working model of a true Time

Machine.

As to multiple Universes, that was the Doctoral

Dissertation of a very brilliant man named

Everett. But, Everett's work caused people to

energetically speculate about parallel Worlds

and Universes.

To date, these can be only expressed with

the tools of Mathematics.

But, who knows what all of our Tomorrows

may bring ?

It doesn't , you live in it. Your brain receives optical sensory information 8 milliseconds after it actually happened.


Your mind has been fucked.

Yes, time is another dimension, which we travel forwards through. You could say the past is "behind us" in this fourth dimension.

"Existence" refers to the present time, so past events by definition don't exist any more.

Yet the past isn't just an idea, it's fixed; even if we can't experience it directly, we can see evidence of it all around us (historical artefacts, yesterday's dirty dishes and so forth).

As for other universes, the Universe is by definition everything that exists--so the answer is no.

The best theory about the past is that it instantly disintegrates and becomes the next instant.

[Petrusclavus]

There is now, the past is only todays record for it is gone forever.

It gets reused to spew out the future.
