The passage of time is not a feature of the Universe, just of our own awareness. 13.5 billion years of time did not pass by until my awareness "awoke".
Does a tree falling in the woods make any sound if you are not there to hear it?
When I was 16 I was involved in a car crash. I went through an intersection and T-boned another car. Nearly 30 yrs later I can still remember distinctly the quite, gentle sound of glass breaking and I remember watching a shard of glass floating through the air in front of my face. It seemed to take forever to pass by. There was no other sound. Just a slight tinkling as this bit of glass floated by in slow motion. Then with a bang I landed in the passenger seat and the world slammed back to normal speed.
Since then I have wondered if our last moments dont stretch out into eternity.
After watching this video I thought maybe I should just smoke more pot. I may not live longer but it will seem like it. Time, on a quantum level, is not the same as time in the waking world.
