CHAPTER Introduction to the time phenomenon Although this chapter only addresses some very elementary princi- ples, I believe that the solution to most enigmas facing humanity can be found in the nature of time. Acknowledging this will shed light on both the mundane and exceptional situations, and will have an extraordinary impact on our approach towards the mysteries of the universe, which will increasingly lose their meaning. Let us assume from now on that the conceptualization of real time is manifold 4 " a . a r : eat weer 4 depending on the property we want to express. In view of the difficulty in visualizing this concept, I will use various means to represent it. A parallel universe is merely a different time line. After all, time is three-dimensional! Space has three dimensions: length, width and height. It is however, less obvious that time also has direction, density and a present! What follows is a very simplified presentation of these three properties. They will be extensively discussed in another chapter. DIRECTION designates time as everyone pictures it: the trajectory that goes from past to future. Some call it the fourth dimension. The past constitutes our memories as our imagination constitutes the future. The transformation of matter and events describes the apparent time arrow. However, in this case direction has a double arrow, which explains the existence of premonitions. Keyword: transformation. DENSITY is the eagerly anticipated encounter with the next great discoveries of fundamental science. What is time density? It is a time 15 LET US GET RIGHT TO THE HEART of the matter.
