Multiple Universes and their Placement in Time

Introduction

In addition to the existence of multiple universes, each universe can be planted at different points in time. This produces some interesting results.

Absolute Time versus Relative Time

One of the key aspects of each universe planted at different points at time is the different between “Absolute Time” and “Relative Time”.

In brief, “Absolute Time” is the straight chronological time. This is the age of our tree orchard or the age of our orchard of universes.

In contrast, “Relative Time” is the time difference between entities. For example, the time difference between one tree and another is “Relative Time”. The time difference between one universe and another is “Relative Time”.

All of these concepts will be explained in detail below.

Trees Planted at Different Times

To begin understanding these concepts, we will look at our simple tree orchard. We have acres of land. And we have thousands of seeds. In a typical orchard, we plant these trees at the same time, just a few feet apart from another. These trees then develop at the same time, and produce fruit at the same time.

We can also plant our seeds at different points in time. This is a common occurrence where the tree takes several years to grow. A dozen trees are planted on acre 1 this year. Another dozen trees are planted on acre 2 the next year. And so on. Now fast forward 10 years. As you look across the various acres, you will see trees at different ages, depending on which acre you look at.

Thus, we can plant trees at different points in time. Each tree will develop at the same rate, and in the same general way as any other tree (because of the DNA in the seed). Yet because we plant the seed at different times, the ages of each tree will look different.

Planting a Tree Every 5 Years

To see this more clearly, imagine we plant just one tree every 5 years. Tree A gets planted in the first year. Tree B gets planted on year 5. Tree C gets planted on year 10. And so on.

After 100 years we will have numerous trees – specifically 20 trees at this point - but each at a different stage of growth. Tree A will be 100 years old. Tree B will be 95 years old. Tree C will be 90 years old. And so on.

Thus, as you look across the orchard you will see the same type of tree throughout, but each tree will look slightly different because each one is successively younger than the previous tree.

Absolute Time versus Relative Time, In an Apple Orchard

Now here is a preview of “Relative Time”. Relative Time is the difference in time between each tree as both trees continue to grow.

For example, at 100 years, Tree “T” will be the most recent tree planted. At this point Tree T is just a seed. It looks very different from Tree “A”, which is currently 100 years old. And yet, when tree “T” itself reaches 100 years old, it will look remarkably similar to Tree A when it was 100 years old. This is the essence of “Relative Time”.

Of course, when those next 100 years pass, Tree A will be 100 years older as well, and be 200 years old. So of course Tree T will never be exactly the same age as Tree A at the same point in Absolute Time. Yet Tree T will eventually reach every age that Tree A does...just several years behind in Absolute Time.

Thus, “Relative Time” is the time difference between the trees as they grow. Tree T will always be 100 years younger than Tree A. That will always be, and that will never change. Similarly, Tree A will always be 100 years older than Tree T. That will always be, and that will never change. That is Relative Time.

And yet, both trees are living organisms. Each tree will grow and develop, as an independent entity. There is an Absolute Time, and both trees grow steadily during this Absolute Time. The trees simply have a perpetual time difference between them as they develop…the “Relative Time”.

How One Tree Looks to Another Tree in the Orchard

Now consider how one tree appears as compared to another tree in the apple orchard. This will give us our first glimpse of “time travel” in our multiple universe system.

Let us again take our snapshot of the orchard at 100 years after planting the first tree. Now let us look specifically at one tree near the middle, such as Tree J. This tree was planted 50 years after the first tree, Tree A.

We start by studying Tree J. We look at it carefully, and become absorbed in thought over the tree. We come to know everything about this tree, down to the smallest details.

Then we notice trees to the left and trees to the right. The tree to left looks similar, but is 5 years older, and therefore looks a bit different. The tree to the right looks similar, but is 5 years younger, and therefore also looks a bit different.

We start walking down the row of trees to the left. Each one looks very similar to the tree we just past – after all, it is the same basic type of tree, and from the same seed – but each one looks different. Being planted 5 years earlier means that the tree will have matured 5 years beyond the previous tree…even though both trees are within a few feet of each other.

Just by taking a few steps, we see a tree that is 5 years older. And after many steps we see a tree that is 10 years older…20 years older…30 years older…50 years older.

We walk back to our starting tree, tree J. How different this tree seems now. And we trace the steps back down the row to Trees I...H...G…F…all the way to Tree A again. We look at the tree thinking: “50 years”. This tree, Tree A, is pretty much what our starting point tree (Tree J) will look like in 50 years.

Here is a key concept in our understanding: We have seen what our tree will probably look like in 50 years. In a sense, we have “seen the future”.

We have walked “50” years in the future, by taking just a few short steps.

Yet also let me be clear on this point: we are not looking at the exact tree in the future. Rather, we are looking at a similar tree, which is more mature. What we are seeing is a likely future for our tree. By studying an older tree which comes from the same seed (tree A), we can very likely predict what our tree (tree J), will look like when that tree reaches the same age.

In that way, walking the short path from one tree to another tree, each planted 5 years apart, is like seeing the future. It is a likely, most probable future based on a similar tree which already exists. Yet it is a way to “see” into the future.

Seeing into the Past in our Orchards

In a similar way we can view the “past” in our orchard. Starting again from Tree J, if we want to see what Tree J was like when it was younger, we simply stroll the other direction. We pass Tree K, which is 5 years younger, and Tree L which is 10 years younger, and Tree M, which is 15 years younger.

Thus, every tree we walk to in this other direction is a nearly identical tree, just a few years younger. In this way we can easily see what our Tree, Tree J, was like in the past.

We merely look at younger trees of a similar type, and deduce that since the trees are similar, the history of each tree would have been similar. While there may have been variations, it is very likely that what our Tree, Tree J, looked like 20 years ago would have been very similar to Tree N.

It is in this way we can travel to the “past” in order to “see” what our tree looked like many years ago.

Relative Times and Absolute Times in our Orchards

Let us revisit the concepts of Relative Time and Absolute Time. These are key concepts in our understanding of time travel through multiple universes.

“Relative Time” is the relative time difference between two entities, such as two trees. If we compare Tree J to Tree A, we will see a Relative Time of 50 years. Tree A will always be 50 years older than Tree J. And Tree J will always be 50 years younger than Tree J. Walking from Tree J to Tree A, we go forward 50 years, or +50 years. Walking from Tree A to Tree J, we go backward 50 years, or -50 years.

Similarly, with our example of Tree J to Tree N, we are again using the concept of “Relative Time”. I will describe the same process in a different way: If we want to know what our tree looked like 20 years ago, then we pick a tree whose “Relative Time” is “minus 20 years”. In this case, Tree N. Find the tree, go there, and look at it. What you see is very much like what our Tree J would have looked like 20 years ago.

 

This is how we can use Relative Time to see into the past or the future.

Universes Planted at Different Times

Now that we understand trees being planted at different times, we can understand universes planted at different times.

Furthermore, now that we understand being able to “walk” to the future to determine what our tree might look like, or walk to the past to see what our past might have looked like, we can more easily understand traveling from one universe to another, in order to see our likely future, or our likely past.

 

We begin with a thousand “universe seeds”. Each “universe seed” is identical. Yet each is distinct.

Like a regular seed, these universe seeds are inert and self-contained. Each seed can remain in its seed condition for many, many years.

Now suppose we have a “Master Planter”. This Master Planter will plant one of these Universe Seeds every 5 years.

Once the Universe Seed has been planted, the seed develops on its own. That universe is created. (This is the Big Bang – the creation of the universe as we know it). The universe will grow and mature according to the basic DNA of the Universe Seed. Additional details within each universe will be modified by individual people and other intelligent entities in that universe.

Each Universe is created in the same way. Every 5 years the Master Planter will plant the next Universe Seed. Each universe is planted in a physical region of space somewhat close in proximity to the previous universe. Once planted, each Universe grows and develops independently.

Each universe seed is planted 5 years later in Absolute Time. And each new universe is 5 years younger, in relative time, from the previous universe.

 

Time Travel Through Multiple Universes

Imagine now 10 Billion Years in Absolute Time. There are now 2 Billion Universes. Each universe is an independent entity, and yet each universe is similar to all the others.

Do want to know what life might be like in a million years? Find the Universe which is a Relative Time of 1 Billion years older from ours. Travel to that universe. Here you see what a universe very similar to ours looks like at that age. By inference, you can guess that most aspects of our universe at that age will be similar.

And this is the basic mechanism of Time Travel through Multiple Universes.
