| + | == Evolution of Time == | ||
| + | |||
| + | On the most basic level, space and time may evolve together. | ||
| + | Past, present and future may also [[Co-evolution|co-evolve]] together. | ||
| + | Imagine a microscopic world where time is connected to the replication | ||
| + | rate of the universe. What would it be like in a universe | ||
| + | where time flows forward *and* backward, e.g. at the Planck Scale | ||
| + | of Quantum Gravity ? | ||
| + | If positive time is related to the expansion | ||
| + | of the universe, then negative time is perhaps | ||
| + | related to contraction and gravitation (this | ||
| + | would be the case, if time is connected to the | ||
| + | replication rate of an evolutionary universe, | ||
| + | and lightspeed is a somehow a measure how fast the | ||
| + | universe replicates itself --- the inflationary | ||
| + | universe would be a universe where each point replicates | ||
| + | itself without being balanced by gravitation). | ||
| + | So there are regions in this universe where time | ||
| + | runs backwards (the universe shrinks), and other regions where time | ||
| + | runs forwards (the universe expands). | ||
| + | Regions in the universe where time runs backwards | ||
| + | (or at least not forward) are perhaps Black Holes - | ||
| + | can information spread at all if gravity is stronger | ||
| + | than the speed of light ? | ||
| + | What does negative time or time travel mean ? | ||
| + | Time traveling is only possible if the present already contains | ||
| + | the effects of time traveling although you might not be | ||
| + | aware of them i.e. if the present is not | ||
| + | possible without the time travels which have | ||
| + | already happened. Of course this is not possible | ||
| + | on the macroscopic scale of the world we know, | ||
| + | but maybe on a much smaller microscopic scale. | ||
| + | If time travel is possible, then | ||
| + | deadlock situations can appear where the present | ||
| + | is not possible without the past, but the past | ||
| + | is not possible without the present, either. | ||
| + | Thus both must co-evolve together, somehow. Maybe | ||
| + | through a replication or evolution of | ||
| + | elementary space-time structures. | ||
