Is time and space an illusion?

What a huge question to ask. Most would say no because we are used to these concepts though if the answer was yes then our perception of the world we live in would change forever.

I have always wondered things about space. Assuming it is physical and therefore measurable, I thought to myself, “How is it possible for the universe to suddenly stop?” and if that seems impossible then “How is it possible for the universe to go on forever?”. Either of these suggestions must be the case, I thought, however both seemed impossible.

Due to this independant thinking, I was not at all surprised to discover David Icke’s theory of space and time being illusions. I know I must remain sceptical of this man but the idea of space being an illusion makes perfect sense to me and explains why the universe doesn’t stop yet doesn’t go on forever either.

Space is like it is in a video game – virtual reality in other words. U know the virtual reality games where you wear a visor of some sort? It looks like you can see into the distance of this virtual world doesn’t it? However, that isn’t the case. It is merely just a screen making it look like your own vision. Perhaps this is what the real world is like and perhaps we are looking through our own ‘visors’ at the world and thinking that this space exists when in reality it is like the screen on the video game.

But you can touch things, smell things, hear things, can’t you? Yes, you can indeed but this may very well be our very own matrix. Electronic responses are sent to our brain when we touch things and the like, so what if all this stuff isn’t really here? What if the matrix actually exists? There is the theory that a human body is like a computer and if that is the case then we would share the same perception of this world through downloading information from some sort of matrix super internet.

“Bollocks”, I hear some of you cry. Well yes, after being used to this world being made of hard physical shit, I do not blame people for saying that. But how can anyone ever know if the world is like that until they have died and see the real truth of the world? How do we know that there is really a matrix if people in the film don’t?

Like the topic of life after death, this is another “I’ll have to see it to believe it” topic. But only after death will we see the world as virtual reality, according to some theorists. This makes sense because if the afterlife isn’t made up of physical space then that explains how it can be home to so many spirits of the dead.  

So back to my question about when space stops and ends. All becomes clear when you realise that space may not exist at all in the measurable way that we think it does. As I have seemed to cover that in the best way that I can, I’ll say how time could be an illusion.

The first thing I must say on time is why the hell is it based on geographical movements of the earth round the sun? Think about it. How can a year be a unit of time when it is based on the earth moving round the sun? That doesn’t measure how fast that time passes does it? Therefore all smaller units aren’t exactly accurate. Like there may be 60 seconds in a minute but who knows how quickly each of those will pass? What I am saying is that time moves faster at some times rather than others simply because we do not measure the passing of events on this earth in a consistent manner. 

Basing the measurement of time on the movement of earth around the sun is preposterous. It’s like basing the measurement of time on me walking around a paddling pool non-stop! I’m bound to travel around it quicker some times than others, aren’t I? Surely scientists would see this logic, surely. Why have they based time on such a stupid thing? Some people would say “they must be hiding something!” but i’m not a total slave to the theorists. There’s no evidence for that, I’m just pointing out that the way we measure time is ridiculous. All of the above explains why time goes faster on some days compared to others. Some would say that it is circumstancial and somebody in a waiting room would obviously think the day was goin slower than somebody at a party. But time isn’t meant to be going faster at different times, it is meant to flow at a constant pace! It even goes at different speeds in the same circumstances! There’s my view on time for you. 

So time and space may not be what they seem. Time is definitely not measured correctly and space may not even exist. Thanks for your time
