Photo from open sources “Time is a moving image of eternity.” Plato We we generally believe that a prescribed fate does not exist, and that all past days disappear into oblivion, but can it not be movement just an illusion? The famous British physicist explains that in some a special measurement of time simply does not exist. “If you try to seize on time, it always leaks through your fingers “, – said Julian Barbour, a British physicist and author of The End time: the next revolution in physics, “in an interview with Edge Foundation (Nonprofit Support Organization) research in science and technology – approx. per.). While as this poetic statement still sounds in the room, the physicist and journalist probably no longer have any connection with themselves second ago. Barbour believes that people cannot seize time, because time does not exist. Although this theory does not new, it never had such popularity as theory Einstein’s relativity or string theory. Concept of the universe without time is not only incredibly attractive to a handful of scientists, but also such a model can provide an opportunity to explain many of the paradoxes, faced by modern physics in trying to explain The universe. We used to think and feel that time has linear nature, and its flow inevitably flows from the past to the future. This is not only the personal perception of any person, but also context in which classical mechanics considers everything mathematical functions within the universe. Without such a concept ideas like the principle of causation and our inability be present simultaneously in two places will be considered with a completely different level. Barbour’s idea of heterogeneity time trying to theoretically explain the universe, consisting of many points that he calls “now.” But such “now” is not should be taken as fleeting moments that came from past and disappear in the future; this “now” will be just one of millions currently existing in the eternal universal mosaic of a special dimension that is not detectable, each “now” is connected by the finest thread with others, but not one of them is more important than neighboring. They all exist at the same time. Simple and complex at the same time, Barbour’s idea can be of great help to those willing to accept the shortage time before the Big Bang. Barbour believes the concept time can be similar to integer theory. All numbers exist. at the same time, and it would be pointless to think that the number1 exists to the number 20. At this point, the reader is likely to ask: “You you want to convince me that the hand movement that I do right now does not exist? If infinitesimal fragments of “now” are not related to each other, why do I remember the first thoughts of this article? Why do I remember what I ate for breakfast? Why do I get up and go on work, if work belongs to that “I”, which has no relationship to me? If the future already exists, why bother Is it striving for something? “Such dilemmas are the result of the illusion that time is fleeting, like water in a river. We can imagine endless universe like a long custard vanilla center which is filled with chocolate along the entire length. Cutting off a layer from it, we will get what we call “present,” “now.” Imagine that chocolate in the center denotes ourselves: then we would consider that our slice is the only one in the universe, and that previous and next layers exist only as concepts. This the idea would seem ridiculous to the custard observer who knows that all slices exist simultaneously. For this example you could answer that “I” is not the same person who started write this sentence. I am unique and perhaps explicit communication with each of the subjects who wrote all the previous words in this paragraph. However, even the endless “now,” independent friends from a friend would not have been scattered. They keep making up structure. They are a single whole, a whole custard without crumbs. IN This is the theory of Barbour: in the space of the Universe, the future (our future) already exists, unfolds, and every second of our past also exists, not as memory, but as living the present. The most painful for people thinking in the spirit of the eastern philosophy, there would be an attempt to upset the established future. Sage, following the intended path would be a happy person amid a space chocolate custard and would try live our unique and extremely tiny stretches of “now.” Most of us are deeply convinced that on the subconscious level giant space clocks count down every second of that vast space that is called the universe. However at the beginning last century Albert Einstein has already demonstrated that time relative to every object in the universe, and that time is “subject” inseparable from space. Even specialists who synchronize time all over the world, know that the world is governed by arbitrarily set marks, since the clock is not at all able to measure time. Obviously, the only thing left for us is – this is to plunge into the “temporary illusion” of this infinity, knowing that there is a space where our past still exists, and that what we do does not change him. Or, as Einstein himself would say: “People like us who believe in physics know that the difference between past, present and future – just stubborn and persistent illusion. “Written by Leonardo VINTIGNY
