I don't know what time is. Lee Smolin: What is time? How to help your child navigate time

The material was prepared on the basis of channelings posted on the website.

What is time? It would be more correct to begin to answer this question with the famous saying of St. Augustine (354-430 BC): “I know perfectly well what time is until I think about it. But once you think about it, I no longer know what time is!”

The quote very clearly reflects our modern knowledge of such a concept, so familiar to everyone from childhood, as time. Indeed, modern scientists are intensively studying the physics of time, but the more they think, the... more questions arise before us!

The riddle of time is complex and mysterious. Today we need a deep awareness of time and a rethinking of all knowledge and previously received information. In the quantum future, time, understanding its essence and awareness of true time plays a vital role for humanity as a whole and for each individual.

Let's consider the concept« time» from the position of the Higher Powers.

Based on Selena's channelings:

What is time?

Time is a characteristic of variation and a characteristic of movement. Changes. When you say “time flows,” you already imply change. If there is no change, there is no time.

Let's imagine a point. How many possible motion vectors are there from this point? Countless. When movement begins and the vector rushes in one of the directions, the characteristic of this point changes, it begins to last, it changes its position in relation to the start. And the more the motion vector moves away from the starting point, the more characteristics it acquires. That is, this starting point, the point of potential, begins to reveal one of the potentials that is inherent in it. Each new characteristic gives a new stage in the manifestation of potential, while moving the new characteristics further and further away from the starting position.

Time is not only a file name, it is also one of the characteristics of this file. Each point of potential has many options for its manifestation. But before the movement and manifestation of these potentials begins, the point sleeps and time does not exist. But then the movement begins, and each new possibility of revealing potential becomes manifest. Time is what triggers the manifestation of potential. No movement - no time, no time - no movement.

Everywhere in the Universeis intime as a parameter?

Time does not exist in all parts of the Universe. There are worlds where all realities exist simultaneously, and multidimensionality is literal and simultaneous. There are realities where there are no dimensions, but there is a static existence that undergoes development according to other parameters, according to the parameters of constancy, inviolability. There are worlds that change all the time, and the previous parameters are not saved, that is, the previous parameters are included in the pattern of the current ones as a layering of the same thing. There are many options for shaping space. Spatiotemporal is one of them.

Is it true that time does not exist?

Time does not exist in the concept as you understand it, as something irretrievably gone. Time is simply a mark of a certain state, different from another previous state, in order to distinguish them, and not merge them into a single state, event. Time is the recording of details of the state of the world. How many different states of the collective soul exist simultaneously, which must merge, sooner or later, into a single perception, a single experience.

How and why did time arise in our system?

The gods who created your part of reality introduced a time parameter to increase variability, for diversity. By imagining the possibility of simultaneously existing in multiple selves, in multiple versions of yourself and your reality? This increases the number of experiences gained and increases the choice.

Can time stop? For example, if a person does not age, does time stop for him?

Not certainly in that way. Matter without movement is inert. This means that no form can be born from it, since formation is the process of change. When matter acquires a certain form, a certain start is given to the change in the state of inert matter. It continues to change further. This starting impulse seems to trigger a chain reaction of changes. What is formation? This is the process of polarization of parts of inert matter, in which they move so that some parts of this matter acquire different characteristics of density, and thus its new form is organized.

Since different parts of matter (the shell and the internal content of the form) have different density indicators, the process continues. All particles begin some kind of centripetal or centrifugal movement within the form. Therefore, there are practically no forms in which movement or its changes do not exist. Accordingly, any change leads to a difference between the new state of the form and the previous one. And to capture these differences, these states are marked with a time indicator. As if every second you change something in this file and when you write it to the computer, you change its name in order to save these changes from the previous one.

Some processes take place in a person all the time; this is a very complex multifunctional structure. The human body as an object of aging, if it does not age, then it still changes. And that’s why time indicators exist for him.

Is the speed of time the same in different parts of the universe?

It is difficult to talk about sameness, because the impulse itself does not exist without movement, does not exist until the movement itself has begun, does not exist separately from movement. But the movement itself is, of course, different. This depends on many factors, for example, on density, on magnetic characteristics, therefore in different parts of the universe the development of impulse occurs differently, although the impulse is uniform.

Based on Morea channelings:

What is Time, how to imagine the passage of time? What does it represent for a person on Earth, how can it be used?

You very often hear the concept that “there is no time as such”, that “everything exists here and now - in the manifested moment of life.” You often hear, but don’t always understand: looking at a leaf falling from a tree, how is it so - here and now - if the leaf is moving downwards with every second. And we see this movement in time - like the fall of this leaf. And you record the movement of the leaf, realizing that this is the movement of Time. But in fact, time is a component of the manifestation of this leaf at every moment. That is, the manifestation of a leaf one meter from the Earth is one plane of manifestation, half a meter from the ground is another manifestation. And the difference between these manifestations is what you call time.

It's just a coefficient, it's not a measurement. And you need to treat this as a coefficient that you can either increase or decrease, being aware of your spaces, aware of your manifestation in any deeds, in any thoughts.


That is why they tell you: that when you review the past within yourself and are there in those energies, then you manifest the space that you have already passed through, that has already been fulfilled by you. And you give the coefficient of manifestation of this space, that is, the time spent in the area of ​​​​space where this event took place. When you think through your future, you give the coefficient of manifestation to the space of the future. But if you are looking at your future, which is very far away in the time cycle that you have recorded on Earth, you can either not give enough energy to this space, or end up in another area that is parallel to your life. And you give energy to the manifestation of this parallelism. And being here and now, you are left with a lower coefficient of manifestation, less variability of events, a rigid fixation between two vectors, and this prevents you from manifesting a more beneficial event than the one you grounded or in which you built the vector of your interest.

The flow of time that you feel has changed its course, because there is a very powerful change in the layers of space. And the faster the kaleidoscope pictures flash, spinning faster and faster... or like a film that has been sped up in its movement... - the faster time seems to move. But in fact, it is the layers of manifestation of events that appear very quickly, and their flickering causes the sensations that you experience.

Based on Sophos channelings:

How does a person perceive time parameters from the point of view of consciousness and the physical body?

Initially, temporary fields are launched in the human body through a system of relationships of chakra fields, through a system of relationships of conditioned organs and their perception in human awareness through the heartbeat, through breathing, through blood supply, through sensations of external space, through warmth and cold, and so on, through sounds, through information. All these relationships create certain parameters that the human body perceives as continuity, as a certain amount of changeability, as a certain amount of spatial relationship with the fields of time, with fields that give these characteristics a certain fluidity, a certain relationship in time, in degrees of time, in events. This fluidity, this constant movement in degrees of time in a linear relationship is a fairly standard characteristic, quite understandable from the point of view of a person, and he is used to breathing, observing space from the point of view of his body regarding his parameters, his functions, his breathing.

These parameters allow a person to correlate space and his functionality in a fairly understandable manner, since the space around him is also tied to his parameters, functionality, metabolic rate, and his perception. This binding is done according to the secondary principle, since the primary principle is the launch of the internal composition of temporary quantities, the relationship of monadic fields that operate in relation to external energy sources, external energy fields, external information flows. This functioning occurs from the intervals of the day, from the night or evening, or morning, from food intake, from excretory functions, and so on. All these rather complex systems interact with each other in relation to monadic fields, in relation to a cell of the human body, his conditional body.

This conditional body functions according to parameters, according to rules that are set as an illusion, as a parameter for finding a human object, a human body, a human projection in the system of space, in the system of its own observation. This parameter is initially set as a condition for the existence of events and experience, while this parameter includes not only various sensations of temporary quantities, but also the ratio of the perception of human awareness in relation to events and the speed of their occurrence. These parameters are laid down, among other things, in monadic fields, since if a person sleeps, then for him there is practically no time except for those intervals when he sees dreams, and dreams are defined in a certain relative duration, which in no way correlates with the external parameter of time, and it is simply impossible to correlate it, since these are different spaces, and in them there are completely different equivalents of the relationship between temporal definitions and definitions of continuity.

Therefore, it is initially necessary to understand that monadic fields, the chakra fields of the cell themselves and the connection of these fields with the Higher Self is the original core, basis, perception of the temporary field, degree of time, since all processes are tied to the functionality of the body, all processes are an illusion in relation to consciousness. This consciousness must control and perceive this functionality from the point of view of a certain obligation, a certain relationship with the space of perception. This rule is strict, just as the illusion of perception is a strict rule for humans.

How does a person perceive time and the continuation of events in space?

A person can experience the concept of time in the state of three main categories. The first category is through external space. The second category is through the state of the body, feelings, sensations, the relationship between the body and external space. And the third category is through the state of consciousness, thought forms, emotions, etc. All these three categories are only general schematic definitions of the relationship between man and space. In fact, there are many more of these relationships.

How does time affect a person’s state in space?

The essence of the relationship between the characteristics of temporary quantities that determine a person’s state in space is the transformation of certain algorithms, potentials, energies into a system of linear time, into a system of visual observation of space, which a person perceives as himself, as opportunities, events and information. This state is quite difficult to describe from the point of view of one-time perception and one-time cumulative state.


To begin with, it will be more than enough to simply move the very understanding of such a concept as time off the ground and simply accept that over time, if desired, you can learn to interact correctly.

And only after that, gradually, step by step, deal with this issue, collect information, observe and draw conclusions.

I know that time will come
Peoples will stop fighting.
Both old and young tribe
They won't want to kill each other.

All soldiers will think about peace
And they will quietly go home.
Machine guns will be thrown into the smelter
And they will devote themselves to peaceful affairs.

I know it won't be soon.
To do this, you need to eat a pound of salt.
When the peoples are awakened from their sleep
The last tragic news;

That children died from the war again,
The city was burned by bombings
And mournful funerals for the World
Red water carries blood.

Reviews

Anatoly. You and I react in exactly the same way to modern
events. In my previous review I fully expressed my emotions.
And I considered this verse of yours to be the answer to my thoughts. Sorry for the wrong one
thought. Every verse, both yours and mine, is a pebble in the building of solidarity.
Sincerely. Georgy.

Very soulful!!! And the music, and the performance, and the words!!! The instrument in the hands of a real Master sings, and worries, and cries!!!... Amazing!!!

The daily audience of the portal Stikhi.ru is about 200 thousand visitors, who in total view more than two million pages according to the traffic counter, which is located to the right of this text. Each column contains two numbers: the number of views and the number of visitors.

The past has already happened, but the future has not yet. The past reminds itself of itself at every step: a crumpled face in the mirror, traces of shame in the kitchen, an itching feeling of shame for aimlessly lived years. The future is mysterious and unpredictable. It is hidden behind a thick layer of expectations, forecasts, fears and hopes.

But imagine for a moment that you are a photon flying through the interstellar space of the Andromeda constellation towards Beta Cassiopeia. You have been flying for several billion years, and during this time nothing particularly interesting has happened to you. And it's unlikely to happen soon. You don’t have a crumpled face, nor do you have any hopes for the future, your flight proceeds at a constant speed in one direction, you have nothing to fear, nothing to expect. How does the past differ from the future for you? Nothing, really.

From the point of view of the theory of relativity, time does not exist independently of space, but forms with it a single four-dimensional system - space-time. Space does not move from the past to the future - both time and space simply exist.

For physics, the past and the future are, in principle, equivalent - as are the directions in space. A magnet, for example, does not care which way it is turned - it acts left and right the same way; in the same way, for a physical force (for example, gravity or electromagnetism) it makes no difference whether it acts towards the past or towards the future. This principle is called " T-symmetry." You, like a photon, do not distinguish the flight of Andromeda - Cassiopeia from the past to the future from the flight of Cassiopeia - Andromeda from the future to the past.

The future and past appear when there are many photons, other particles, or anything else at all. Because when there is a lot of something, it is not so much physical laws that work, but rather statistical laws - the principles of thermodynamics.

Sani's second rule

When I was in high school, there was quite a rich folklore in our class, with its own wisdom and values, in which “Sleigh’s second rule” was especially popular: “If you twist something for a long time, it will fall off.” Sanya’s first rule has nothing to do with the topic; it explained in obscene terms the rules of careful behavior “in a foreign area” (this happened in Kupchin). But it always went in addition to the second.

Sani's second rule is a capacious, even metaphorical formulation of the second law of thermodynamics. If you twist something for too long, it will fall off. If you shake something for a long time, it will get mixed up (these are my essays based on them). If you do something for a long time - anything - then there will be more disorder and chaos. Garbage accumulates in the corners, glasses break, ice cream melts, and everything that can spin obeys Sani's second rule. By the way, I don’t know under what circumstances Sanya came up with it - it is quite possible that initially this was a mnemonic rule from a physics lesson, but in general there could have been a purely practical observation based on the results of torsion of everyday objects.

A more well-known everyday formulation of the second law of thermodynamics: “Disorder always increases.” Disorder, aka entropy, is what distinguishes an omelet from an egg, hot from cold, dead from alive, loose from attached.

Why does disorder always win over order? Probability theory. Books on a shelf in the correct order are the only state of books. Books on the floor - thousands of possible combinations, and any of them is already a mess. Life exists within the narrow and precarious boundaries of temperature, humidity and lighting, while decay, chaos and emptiness occupy the entire Universe. If you don't make an effort, everything that is ordered sooner or later becomes disordered: disorder is always more likely than order.


What does the past and the future have to do with it? When we say “clutter always increases,” we mean “clutter increases in the future.” And the point is not that the future magically attracts disorder, and the past repels it. It's just that disorder increases in one direction of time, and this direction we humans call "the future."

Chemical processes, which are necessary every second for the functioning of every cell of our body, use an increase in entropy as a driving force. By increasing the chaos around it - usually by generating heat - a molecule can make a productive effort and fire, for example, a nerve impulse through a neuron. Since the feeling that time is moving somewhere is a product of chemical reactions in the head, it also obeys the laws of thermodynamics.

Human consciousness is a consequence of the work of nerve cells in the brain. The work of neurons, in turn, is determined by the chemical processes inside them. Chemical processes move parallel to the increase in entropy. Therefore, our consciousness is also directed “along” the increase in disorder: the future for us lies where there is more entropy.

We perceive as logical a world in which a broken glass follows a whole glass. Sani's second rule, therefore, can be reformulated as follows: “The future is when what you spin falls off.”

Where is the clock hidden?

The human perception of time consists of several different independent phenomena.

Firstly, the feeling that the past and future have a direction, the so-called arrow of time. This is the thermodynamic vector that is determined by the molecules of our body. Secondly, the assessment of intervals: how much time, according to our feelings, has passed from moment A to moment B. Thirdly, the perception of sequence and simultaneity: what happened after what and at what moment. Finally, the feeling of “now” - a certain period of time as a single current moment.

Of all these aspects, only the arrow of time can be considered more or less objective. It is embedded in us at the physical and chemical level. Everything else is subjective sensations generated by the brain. An illusion, in other words.

The main difficulty in measuring time with the brain is that nerve cells work at millisecond speeds, and we perceive intervals from seconds to years. In order for fast neurons to navigate our “slow” time, they need a special accumulative-measuring system, an internal clock that counts how much time has passed.


There are two main versions. According to the first, the brain has one central clock to which everything obeys. According to another, each function of the brain orients itself in time independently: the auditory departments have their own clocks, and the motor ones have their own. One thing is certain: the sense of time depends on the amount of information entering the brain and on the attention directed to it.

When you are bored, time drags on for hours, and when you are happy, it flies by quickly, but then in memory, on the contrary, it seems longer. The more information enters your brain and the more you concentrate on it, the less you notice time.

But the memory is subsequently stretched to accommodate everything that happened during the past period. For the same reason, under the influence of many psychotropic substances, it seems that an hour passes when in fact five minutes pass: it’s just that in those five minutes you receive several times more impressions than usual, and when you recall these impressions in memory, they fill an entire hour of “regular” time.

With sequence and simultaneity, not everything is clear either. Two sounds separated by an interval of 1 - 2 ms are recognized as sequential, and two images with the same interval are recognized as simultaneous. Hearing is the fastest of our senses. Perhaps, evolutionarily, this is due to the fact that our hearing aid is the most effective sense organ for protection from a sudden attack: the sense of smell fundamentally works too slowly (the odor molecules need to physically reach the nose), the sense of touch - when it’s too late, and vision is a poor helper in night forest or if the predator is hiding well.

It is also interesting that although we can distinguish simultaneous from sequential in 2 ms, it takes 10 times longer to perceive a specific order of events - about 20 ms. In this case, differences in speed between the sense organs are no longer observed. Apparently, creating a “list of events” is a more complex operation than simply recording the “non-simultaneity” of these events. The brain first collects information from all senses and only then analyzes it, establishing a specific sequence.

It is possible that the same system is used for this as in speech production. When we speak or perceive speech, the brain has to very quickly plan or decipher complex sequences of sounds: rearranging them can change the meaning of a word or sentence. Some patients, along with speech impairments (in particular, with damage to the left hemisphere of the brain), also have problems with reproducing sequences - for example, it is more difficult for them to remember in what order they were shown five pictures.


Finally, the feeling of “now,” or the subjective present, is also an illusion. Our present is actually a short period of the past. Psychologists usually call the interval from about 4 - 5 seconds ago to the current moment, more precisely - from 4 - 5 seconds ago to 80 ms ago. Our consciousness lags significantly behind what is happening around us: in order to orient ourselves in the present, the brain needs time. Therefore, when it seems to us that an event has occurred, in fact, almost a tenth of a second has passed since that moment.

The subjective present differs from the more distant past in that we perceive it as a single block of sensations. After a few seconds, it turns into a collection of individual images in memory. There is evidence that allows us to conclude that in hallucinating schizophrenics the subjective present is narrowed compared to the “now” of healthy people. Perhaps in such patients the “imaginative” past seems to creep onto the “felt” present, and as a result the person sees and hears the results of his thinking.

Time seems unshakable and objective to us, but in fact, only our confidence in our own feelings is unshakable. From the point of view of physics, the future is the same as the past. From the brain's point of view, the recent past is the present. From most people's point of view, time is forward because that's what we say. But for the South American Aymara people, on the contrary, the past is ahead and the future is behind, and for some Polynesians the past is in the east and the future is in the west. Like the rest of the world, time is an illusion given to us in sensations.

I know perfectly well what time is until I think about it.
But once you think about it, I no longer know what time is.
Augustine the Blessed

It is difficult to get rid of the strange feeling of duality. It seems as if you are present at a performance of a global hoax: millions of people are either fooled by clever swindlers, or are in the grip of a delusional idea and, like in God, believe in aliens from outer space, the Bermuda Triangle, time travel. However, no, no, and the thought will arise that nature and the Universe provide humanity with excellent means of looking beyond the horizon of knowledge, penetrating mystery, touching otherness. Don't miss this chance.

At the end of 1983, many British newspapers reported an incredible incident that happened with the cargo ship Milena. The event was truly transcendental. The ship, traveling from the Ceylon port of Colombo on a course to Bomdey-Karachi-Aden, suddenly disappeared, as if it had disappeared into the vast expanses of the ocean desert.
It arrived at the Bombay port, which was about one and a half thousand miles away, very late, as if it was not moving along the intended route, but was calling at the scheduled ports, circling the globe. Nevertheless, the Milena's instruments impartially recorded: the optimal course was laid, and not a single extra mile was traveled.

What happened to the ship? According to the testimony of the captain of the Milena, Ulyam Tuker, and the crew, the following happened. Some time after the last broadcast, which took place on July 12, 1993, the cargo ship was caught in a sudden squall. According to the sailors, it was accompanied by an incredible thunderstorm and violent lightning strikes. Suddenly the riot of nature stopped, the sky cleared of the curtain of clouds and the sea calmed down. Those in trouble had not yet had time to properly get used to the bright sun that instantly appeared, when a sailboat of an ancient design jumped out towards the cargo ship. He quickly approached the Milena and threw grappling hooks onto her board. Then the most incredible thing began - pirates dressed in old-fashioned costumes began jumping onto the deck of the cargo ship. The attackers shouted loudly in some language unfamiliar to the sailors.

The crew of the cargo ship woke up from the shock and began to desperately fight off the rapidly advancing enemy with hooks, boards and other suitable objects that came to hand.
At the height of this incredible battle, the chief mate rushed into the cabin where the Thompson submachine gun was stored and opened fire on the attackers. This led to confusion among the pirates, but it was possible to completely clear the deck of them only after powerful ship fire hoses and fire extinguishers with increased foaming were used. The stunned attackers rushed headlong onto their sailboat, and it immediately rolled away, leaving the dead man on the battlefield. The deceased was carefully examined. This was a man who (any of the sailors could swear on the Bible) did not even imagine that soap, a toothbrush and a razor existed. The clothes the dead man was wearing consisted of wide trousers, tied with a wide belt, and a goatskin vest. In addition, he was wearing a wide, curved knife. William Tooker gave instructions to place the corpse in the ship's freezer, and locked the clothes and cleaver of the murdered man in a personal safe. The sailors were unable to transfer the pirate's body to the refrigerator; this was prevented by another squall of unusual force, which lasted about half an hour. When it died down, the cargo ship's radio operator contacted the port of departure and Bombay to report what had happened. He managed to do this quite quickly, but what was the surprise of the captain and crew when they heard: “So you were found? Are you alive?” “We followed our course, didn’t go anywhere, didn’t drift in place for even five minutes. It was a huge shock for all of us... the date on the coastal calendars was the end of October.”

It is interesting to note that the cargo transported by “Milena” - Ceylon tea - lost exactly as much quality as if it had been on the road all this time. The pirate's corpse disappeared without a trace, but his belongings remained safe and sound. A thorough study showed that the clothes and knife of the murdered man were made in the 16th–17th centuries, and the traces on the bulwark of the ship were left by objects of metal origin, smelted using technology used about a century and a half ago.
So what happened to "Milena"? Based on the data obtained, some experts hypothesized that the ship ended up in a different time dimension. If this is really the case, then many things that are inexplicable at first glance become clear, including the disappearance of the body of the murdered man. Here is what scientist Charles Moray says about this: “The corpse, having arrived in our time, could have undergone the usual chemical processes for the human body in tropical conditions. After all, it actually seemed to remain in the same space for at least three centuries. The reason for the delay of the ship W. Tooker? Obviously, entering and exiting the “time curve”, which, from the point of view of the participants in the events, took a matter of minutes, actually lasted months. Things? So even in museums they far outlive their former owners."

The incident with the ship "Milena", as it turned out, is not unique. At the beginning of 1996, Indian newspapers published a report about the appearance in the Indian Ocean of the Starfish vessel, which disappeared without a trace here about three years ago. In 1992, on October 16, the large ship Starfish, belonging to the Indian fleet, left the port of Bombay for Malaysia. There were 39 crew members and 10 tourists on board. The journey passed without incident, but on the fifth day of the journey a storm broke out. Radio communication with the Starfish was interrupted, but before this happened, an SOS signal was sent over the air from its board. The ships that immediately came out to help did not find anyone in distress, and the Starfish disappeared from their radar installations. After the storm subsided, five coast guard boats were sent to search for the ship, which for three days methodically combed the waters of the alleged tragedy, but this ended to no avail. No traces of the disaster were found. Since then, all official documents have stated: “Starfish” was lost, not a single person on board was saved. Three years later, on October 16, 1995, in the same area, out of nowhere, in front of the amazed fishermen from a small boat, a ship appeared. It broadcast: “Everything is okay! SOS is cancelled. The storm suddenly died down.” The radio operators who received this message were discouraged - there was no storm and no distress signals in the area. Everything became clear after representatives of the coast guard boarded the unknown vessel. It turned out to be the missing Starfish. Her crew and tourists were very excited and rejoiced at being saved from the hurricane. Coast Guard officials told those aboard the Starfish about the disappearance of their ship three years ago. However, this message was taken as a joke. “What three years? We broadcast a distress signal two hours ago,” the captain was amazed. Then the people, who had somehow miraculously escaped the time trap, began to worry and tell the sailors about how their ship had resisted the hurricane for more than two hours, and then everything suddenly calmed down. The Starfish was then transported to Bombay to investigate the incredible incident. The results have not yet appeared in the public press.

In 1993, the American weekly The News reported on a transcendental event. The submarine, located in the area of ​​​​the Bermuda Triangle, shrouded in mystery, suddenly disappeared... and moments later found itself in the waters of the Indian Ocean ten thousand miles from where it was located. And that is not all. This mysterious journey took only a few tens of seconds, and the submarine crew members became 20–30 years older! The secret Pentagon report on this extraordinary event was presented to a group of experts, and they came to the unanimous conclusion that time travel had occurred. “The ship,” the captain wrote in his report, “was patrolling the coast of southern Florida, where the capsule with astronauts was supposed to splash down, “... unexpectedly, at a depth of 200 feet, the boat began to vibrate. The vibration lasted about a minute and then stopped. The satellite navigation system determined that that we were already at another point - 300 miles from the east coast of Africa. In 60 seconds we covered 10 thousand miles. I immediately asked the command for consent to enter the nearest port in Kuwait. We all, to our surprise, discovered that got old."

All participants in this incredible incident were interviewed by American military experts and sent by plane to the space medicine center in Germany. Later, one of the doctors at this institution told reporters: “All crew members continue to age. They have deep wrinkles, gray hair, weakened muscles, decreased vision and hearing. These are typical signs of aging.” The submariners deeply worry about what happened, but for science the journey that befell them is, of course, extremely interesting. We are on the verge of discovering the secrets of space and time and, perhaps, we will find the key to understanding this phenomenon..."
Just a fantastic case involving a World War II bomber. In 1988, he scandalously “came to life.” Information about the aircraft is taken from the book “XX Century: Chronicle of the Inexplicable. Event after Event” (Moscow, 1997). The bomber, named "Lincoln", was written off immediately after the end of the fighting. Subsequently, no one was interested in him for several decades. The car was placed as a museum exhibit in a hangar at the Royal Air Force Base in Crossford. The aviators' surprise knew no bounds when they discovered that the locked plane with tail number RF398 suddenly began to show signs of life, like a ghost. Frightened workers reported hearing the engine, Morse code, a glowing instrument panel in the cockpit, and even the voices of the RF398 crew. It was as if the sounds of 1945 were being reproduced in 1988. English paranormal investigator Spenzel proposed a hypothesis: the sounds of 1945 seemed to have “moved” in time. He stated that some very emotionally intense events could be recorded by the environment, like images captured in photographs. And years later, it reproduces itself. It is curious that after some time the plane “fell silent”, as if its information about itself had “shifted” in time in order to be reproduced someday in an unknown place.

Spenzel, trying to find evidence for his assumption, placed sensitive recording devices in the bomber's cockpit. The plane doors and hangars were locked. For seven hours the terrible sounds of war in Britain were recorded on film. “When we listened to the tape, it seemed as if an old airplane suddenly took off,” says Spenzel. “We could hear the hum of engines, the sounds of gunfire, the voices of the crew members. But we couldn’t make out what they were talking about.” An equally mysterious story is kept in the archives of the New York police. In November 1952, one evening on Broadway, a car hit an unknown person. He died at the scene. The driver and witnesses swore that the victim “appeared on the street suddenly, as if he had fallen from the sky.” The body was taken to the morgue. Law enforcement officers noticed that the deceased was wearing an old-style suit. But the most surprising thing was that he had an identity card issued 80 years ago. Business cards indicating his profession - traveling salesman - were found in the victim's pocket. One of the detectives checked the address indicated on the business card, and it turned out that this street was demolished more than half a century ago... Meticulous police checked the lists of residents of this area from the end of the last century in their old archive. There they discovered a mysterious traveling salesman - both his last name and address coincided with the information on his business card. All people with this surname living in New York were interviewed. They found an elderly woman who reported that her father disappeared 70 years ago under rather strange circumstances - he went for a walk along Broadway and did not return. She presented the law enforcement officers with a photo in which a young man, remarkably similar to the man who had been hit by a car, was smiling and holding a girl in his arms. The photograph was dated: April 1884...

In 1994, the Polish publication Scandale reported another amazing case of a person moving in time from the past to the present. Author of the note "Floated from the Past?" A. Birch told readers the following. “The Danish fishing boat was in the North Sea. The weather was calm, visibility was good. And suddenly the watchman noticed that the water was seething nearby. They lowered the boat and went to explore the strange place. Suddenly, a man in an antediluvian spacesuit from the 20s appeared from under the water. into the boat, he took off his unusual headdress and cheerfully looked at the sailors. But, apparently suspecting something was wrong, he muttered something in English... When the swimmer was taken to the mainland, he said that he was taking part in the rescue team of the British Navy while raising the sunken ship Findhorn, he was terribly surprised by everything he saw around him and assured that he went down to the bottom on September 5, 1929.

Crazy? Maybe, but the Findhorn actually sank in this area in August 1929. Moreover, Ashley Rebnerville (as the diver introduced himself) reported all the details of this forgotten story - right down to the names of the rescuers and the contents of the cruiser's holds. He only didn’t know that the attempt to raise the ship ended in failure, and one of the rescuers was a certain Ashley Rebnerville! - disappeared without a trace, not returning from another dive."
In 1997, W.W. News magazine told the world about an incredible event. Like a flying phantom from the Twilight Zone, a DC-4 charter plane with 54 passengers on board landed in Caracas, Venezuela in 1992... 37 years after its disappearance in 1955, while flying from New York to Miami! The plane was at the airfield for only a few minutes, and then again soared into the clouds and disappeared! All this could have been considered the fruit of the rich imagination of eyewitnesses, if not for the radio communication between the pilot and the control tower recorded on film. This is irrefutable proof that this landing actually happened. “The testimonies of the airport control workers who saw this incident are identical in nature,” said Deputy Minister of Civil Aviation Ramon Estovar. But the clincher, according to Estovar, is a small 1955 calendar that the pilot threw on the runway a few seconds before the DC-4 took off. – I saw the plane... I heard the pilot’s voice. “I even held the calendar, but I still can’t believe it,” said Juan de la Corte, who had a clear view of everything that was happening from his post on the flight control tower. “These people on board still thought it was 1955 and that they had landed in Florida. But that's not true. Only God knows where they have been all these years. De la Corte and other air traffic controllers realized something strange was happening when a propeller-driven plane suddenly began approaching the airport and did not appear on radar screens. “We saw the plane with our own eyes, but there was no sign of it on the radar,” de la Corte said. “We asked the pilot to identify himself, and he radioed us: “Where are we?” He sounded scared and confused, but finally he said he was on charter flight 914 from New York to Miami with a crew of four and 57 passengers on board.
After these words, there was silence in the control room. Everyone was stunned. Flight 914's destination is Miami... 1800 km from Caracas...

“I answered the pilot: “This is Caracas, Venezuela... South America.” Then I asked, "Are you in distress?" There was no answer, and I cleared the corridor for the plane to land. The landing went well. Just when I started to think everything had gone well, I heard the pilot say to his co-pilot, "Jesus Christ, Jimmy! What the hell is this?" They looked at the jet plane and acted as if it were a spaceship. According to de la Corte, the pilot stated that he was scheduled to land at Miami International Airport at 9:55 a.m. on June 2, 1955.
“Then I heard him say, 'Something's wrong here.' I radioed to the plane: "Captain, this is the international airport in Caracas. Today is May 21, 1992." He just exclaimed: “Oh God!” You could hear him breathing heavily. I tried to calm him down by telling him that the ground team was already heading towards them. According to de la Corte, as the tanker and ground crew approached the DC-4, the pilot shouted over the radio, "No! Stay away! We're getting out of here!"

Ground service workers testified that they saw the faces of passengers pressed against the windows. And the pilot opened his cockpit window and waved for them to get out. “He was waving some kind of folder,” said de la Corte. “Apparently, the calendar fell out of it, which we later discovered.” The pilot started the engines and the plane took off. Civil aviation officials continue to thoroughly investigate this unique incident.
Is it really all just newspaper rumors? But if this is not the case and the phenomenon of time travel exists, it must be seriously and comprehensively studied. So far, only the British Royal Metapsychic Society is dealing with this issue, although for a long time - 150 years. His archives contain more than 200 cases of the phenomenon conventionally called the “time loop,” which have been studied in detail and confirmed by the testimony of numerous witnesses.

Time is an abstract and philosophical concept; for each of us it is filled with a special meaning, and therefore hardly anyone can say with confidence: “I know exactly what time is.”

Man is the only living being who is aware of the passage of time. When and how does this awareness come to the baby?

Biological rhythms are the basis of time perception. The standard of its measurement is the beat of the human heart (1 second - 1 beat), which is the most constant and stable unit. This rhythm is unquestioningly accepted by all people, and it is also perceived by the unborn baby. Immediately after birth, the child begins to feel the rhythms of his physiological existence: the beating of the heart, the alternation of states of hunger and satiety, sleep and wakefulness. For some children, the “internal clock” is set quite easily; children quickly get used to a certain routine. If their parents have not offered them a feeding and sleeping schedule, they develop it themselves. For other children, on the contrary, complete chaos reigns inside, and they really need a structure offered from the outside, which will become for them a kind of guarantee of predictability and constancy of the outside world.

The child’s idea of ​​time is based on the very first, vital events (food, hunger, sleep, wakefulness). The baby connects with them first the past, and then the future.

How does the past appear?

The past appears along with memory. The unconscious bodily memory that arises in the baby even before birth stores everything that has happened to him from the moment of conception in the form of strange and often absurd images and sensations. The ability to remember objects of the external world (objects, people, animals) begins to appear at the age of 4-5 months. At first, the picture of the surrounding reality is very unstable, moreover, the baby’s brain does not retain the image of what is happening. However, by the age of one year, these images become clear, and the child gradually adapts to the rhythm of life not only during the day, but also during the week.

The baby remembers something from the past, but the memory is still too vague, it is difficult to rely on it, especially since the words denoting it are not yet accessible to the child’s perception. But by this moment he already understands perfectly well that there are people around him who take care of him, satisfy his hunger and warm him when it’s cold. Therefore, he can wait a little if he is hungry or tired. It is simply impossible for a one-year-old baby to part with his mother calmly, without tears, even for a very short time. He already understands well how much he needs her presence, but he is not yet able to imagine that the future will soon come and his mother will return.

By the age of two, a child has accumulated quite a lot of experience in dealing with time. He imagines the approximate duration of the usual events of the day (for example, what lasts longer - a walk or breakfast). He has a very clear image of the past, in which his parents left from time to time, but always returned, and what he wanted eventually came true. There is still no idea of ​​the future, but now the baby can at least rely on his past! All this gives the baby confidence in his parents when they talk about something in the future tense.

How does the future appear?

The difficulty of perceiving the future is that it does not exist. Or rather, it exists, but only in our imagination. Only one thing is known for certain - night alternates with day. The baby realizes that the future does exist at about three years of age. This is the main, fundamental discovery. The appearance of the future as a time perspective helps the child come to terms with many of the realities of today’s life, which adults express with phrases like: “Mom will be back soon.” "Summer will come and you will see Aunt Katya again." In addition, the future tense helps both adults and children to wait and hope: “You will rest a little, and everything will work out for you”; "You'll grow up and learn to ride a bike."

Of course, first the immediate future appears in the child’s consciousness (at three years old, the concepts of “summer” and “you will grow up” are too abstract concepts). The baby will need quite a lot of time to understand distant events. Words that denote the passage of time require special assimilation: “What is New Year?”, “And tomorrow is today?”, “Is it already winter today?” By about the age of five, the child begins to realistically imagine some prospects for his life, handles time quite freely and is already quite capable of planning upcoming events.

How to help your child navigate time?

First, try to tie all temporary concepts to familiar life events. “Now we’ll wash our hands, and then we’ll go to lunch.” “First we’ll go swimming, then I’ll read to you, you’ll fall asleep, and when you wake up, tomorrow will come and we’ll go to the zoo.”

Secondly, develop your baby's imagination. The perception of time, like any abstraction, requires a certain level of intelligence and understanding of the world.

Be prepared for the fact that quite painful emotional experiences are often associated with the perception and acceptance of time. The kid doesn’t understand why he needs to wait, why “soon” can’t come right away, why summer ends. Sometimes it seems to him that adults can do everything, and it is quite unpleasant for him to accept the fact that there are things in the world that no one can control.

As the future appears, anxiety may arise. Most often this is a fear of something bad, but most of all anxiety is associated with the awareness of the finitude of one’s own existence. The logical chain “day will give way to night, spring to winter” leads to the understanding that “I was once not there, then I appeared, which means that someday I will not be?” Agree that this is not such a pleasant discovery! However, your ability to talk with your child about these topics (of course, without lecturing, but also without exclaiming: “What terrible things are you saying!”) will help him avoid many fears, accept separations more easily and appreciate life more.
