You know, I've been thinking about the fact that, as we look far away towards the night sky, at the Universe, we are looking back in time, as it usually takes a considerable time for light from a star, galaxy, planet, or other celestial object to reach Earth. An object that we see in the universe could be gone and may now be nonexistent, perhaps for thousands, maybe even millions of years. Now I have come to a startling theory; I don't know how plausible it is, but I suppose that it might be more of an idea rather than a theory, at least for now. I was wondering to myself, since we can look back in time, then why can't we look forward in time? That would probably help solve many problems that are coming our way. If there is such a thing as negative distance, then maybe we could somehow indirectly observe it.
Maybe the future is something that exists as an additional dimension that we could see by somehow looking inward? See, but the major problem lies in the fact of time itself. With that in mind, it takes time itself to think about such an idea. It takes time for our brain to think about the future. Therefore, when I logically think about this, I am tempted to conclude that it's impossible to see the future. The opposite of immense positive distance could very well exist, but perhaps not in the form of negative distance. Even if the concept of negative distance actually exists as a part of reality, then it would take our minds so much to solve this riddle, that we could never do it. It's just like the speed of light; particles in an accelerator can be accelerated to approximately 99.9999999% the speed of light. The more energy you add, the more nines are added to the percentage. It's not an exponential increase in speed; instead, it's the opposite of an exponential equation. I think that the same logic can be used to understand the future.
Distance and time are essentially intertwined. Perhaps the more we try to see the future, or negative distance, maybe we are only able to see ever more microscopic distances, and never be able to reach the border which separates the future from the rest of time. It's a threshold that we might not be able to go past. I'm intrigued quite a lot by such an idea, because it's a great riddle that I think should be discussed by scientists. Where are we, and what are we? Are we the mind itself? And what is the center of the mind?! I think that if we could travel to the end of the future, that we could begin back in the past all over!
This has been a departure from all of the stupid stuff on the internet.
