Our capability to render virtual realities better and better makes it seem likely one day we could simulate our world flawlessly, and perhaps our minds too. If so, perhaps we will in the future… and perhaps we already did in the past.

An Astonishing New Theory Claims Past, Present And Future Exist Simultaneously

Here’s an intriguing idea. What if you were informed that everything in your life was pre-planned? Even crazier, what if your history, present, and future are all taking place right now?

An incredible new theory established as the “block universe” theory asserts that time does not actually “flow like a river”; rather, everything is ever-present.

Dr. Bradford Skow, a philosophy professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, proposes that if we “look down” on the cosmos as if it were a piece of paper, we would see time stretched out in all directions, just as we perceive space at any given time.
