Ok I see a debate going on.LOL

I will just state a theory of mine.

I think that since Information never disappears and that everything around you takes in information, that in theory everything will hold that information for ever. All your thoughts effect atoms and things around you, your actions, and ect.. So I think that maybe your after life can be living back through your life's information. Cause if time is a illusion then the things you do or say or think will never be lost, Never! This is just a thought, I guess not a full blown theory but in reality no one knows. This is why people need religion because it scares the sh-t out of them.

Ok, here's the thing... it's not that "Time is an illusion."


It's that "sequential" time is somewhat of an illusion.  That time is like a 4th dimension that we can't fully perceive.

The 3 dimensions we live in now aren't illusions.  One way to think of it is... imagine you are a 2D being on a sheet of paper. 

Now image a pencil being held next to the paper.  You would only ever perceive one piece of that pencil at any given time.

Ah wait... found a good article rather then having to go through more of this... thank god.

Though this doesn't go into what we know as time and what Stephen Hawking goes call "Real time" and all that... but screw it.  I've had enough with the explaining of complex ass theories and I don't have any source matieral handy.

 

Essentially though to go through it further in one a couple sentences... if time was created at the same time the universe was and 3 dimensions were from a single point that was without dimensions and without time...

essentially "True Reality" can exist without space or time.   Meaning that it's likely it will all be destroyed, compressed or whatever... making everything cease to exist.

True reality being what existed before the big bang.  (argueably, nothing.)
