Time is an
illusion (Einstein)

Within the cycles of life and death there is always a melancholy strain. Sandy Denny 9of FC) was known for her introspective songs on the seasonal flow and shifts of light and dark. You could call it very English (British since she's of Scottish origin) but with a universal affinity of psyche.

Going by all
that folkie and musical and pulp concordancy, is it possible Einstein is
talking about something else?
Living and breathing
things experience time, whereas inanimate and inactive things don’t The lines
of a body, the lines of a tapestry, the lines of a dance are constructions of
time (and space, natch.)
Is all that illusory?
Yes, in the sense that things decay, the dance stops. Things can be caught on
camera and film, which you could say is another illusion.
Is illusion,
then, the reality we know? That might be so in that, when Einstein said “time
is an illusion”, he meant it can’t be caught in “bits”. Time, in reality, is
more like the serpent that weaves.
In other words,
the illusory nature of time can’t be caught in bits and more or less
manipulated as energy and mass can be (the atom bomb.)
All that really
is saying is that the lines we see in nature aren’t logical, they’re expressive
in time and space. As has been noted before, science deals in factual accuracy
(DNA is detected by X-ray diffraction, or a type of lens – mirror.)
However, factual
accuracy isn’t reality, it’s the scientific version of things. Cells are
composed of water and gel, which is the physical reality. If science insists
that things are factually accurate (such as DNA), that’s another way of saying
it is not in physical reality. It is in the head, or a state of physical
boredom.
Since the
physique can’t be denied, we are in the numerical sphere, or the Black Sun of calculation
(which shines where the sun don’t shine).
In other words,
the immateriality of science cannot dematerialize things, since we exist in our
bodies. It can only create physical boredom and from that the Black Sun of
calculation. The Black Sun is number (algorithm) and the sterilization of
culture (of which some examples are Gates’ pathogen-killing toilet and
cultured-meat, prev.)
If our lives are
illusory, the illusion is real because it has physical substance. Science
creates a non-physical reality, but cannot deny the physique. The dragon cannot
be denied, and it exists in profane guise in the sterile labs of the acolyte’s
head (techniques involving DNA, GM or clean-meat that attract the ego.)
So, when
Einstein said “time is an illusion”, it could be all that means is that the
illusion is physical, involving decay, dirt and cleanliness; while the
scientific illusion is sterile, factual and accurate.
If one were to
say, “Everything is real and can be measured”, the acolytes would measure it
and it could be coded into algorithms (which are immaterial)! So, the fact that
time is an illusion isn’t surprising. It feels real, so it is real. Feeling,
not ego.
