Time is a fascinating phenomenon. Wiki says, "It is a measure of duration of events and the interval between them". Some scientists say that the drum beat of time is not necessarily the same everywhere in the universe. Some say what we have is not a 'Universe' but a 'Multiverse' and so on.
In our lifetimes however, unless sweeping technological advancements lead us to a different dimension, all that we would have known is the seemingly flat world and human ego to deal with. This is our reality that matters to us most.
'As time moves on, things change for better or worse'. This how we are trained to think unconsciously. Is this not a fallacy?
Do things change as time goes on?
We seem to be telling ourselves that 'time' is like a train that we have boarded which moves whereas the scenery of life keeps changing in the window of our eyes.
Let us step back for a moment and investigate a little more.
Change is constantly happening. The earth is changing its position around the sun. The sun is changing its position in the galaxy. The galaxy itself is changing its position in the universe and so on. We are never ever at the same place twice truly speaking.
Closer home, the plants are changing their form all the while, so are flowers and trees. The walls made of bricks or wood are also changing - ever so slowly. Look into the mirror. A temporary strange form possessing funny things known as eyes, ears, hands and legs undergoing constant change is what we see.
Change is the only thing that happens in the whole world. Time is simply a measure of it.
Time is perhaps like a carpet on rough edges. We use it to hide changes that are subtle and hard to detect.
Times don't change. It is change that times. Whatever that means!
