Time, Energy and Consciousness

When energy is distributed through our bodies, there’s a delay due to the fact that nothing moves faster than light, and it’s this delay that we experience as time.

Time as energy distribution

Time has duration because the aether has a speed limit. However, this doesn’t explain why time has direction.

To understand the arrow of time, we have to look into how energy is distributed through inertial matter. Because energy delivery gives time direction. We must also keep in mind that time is not a physical entity. It’s merely an interpretation of delays and energy transfers.

Our notion of time is tied up to inertia and how energy distributes through inertial matter. In other words, it’s directly tied to kinetics and the role of pilot waves.

The arrow of time

Pilot waves define the state of a system at any given time. They also dictate the further development of that system in a predictable manner. This implies a forward direction, and it’s this forward direction that we know as the arrow of time.

To illustrate, we can imagine a single particle with an associated pilot wave. The leading end of this pilot wave represents the particle’s immediate future, because that’s where its energy is headed. The trailing end of the pilot wave represents the particle’s immediate past, because that’s where its energy came from.

With everything driven forward by energy flows, we end up perceiving time as something perpetually moving forward.

We perceive time the way we do because we are made of inertial matter. Our very consciousness is part of this great system of inertial matter that we call life. As such, we experience time relative to our own inertia, both when it comes to duration and direction.

Conclusion

Consciousness is tied up to energy flow. Wherever energy flows is the future. Wherever it is right now is the present, and wherever it came from is the past. Consciousness is like a wave front, perpetually driven forward by the aether.
