let's say that any given subjective 'instant' in time has a fourfold vector matrix representing it's position in three-dimensional space as well as one value for time. for any given experiencer the time quantity is measured in units relative to that individual's delta-t (in other words the magnitude of a finite small unit of time that they identify as the 'present moment'). this delta-t would also define implicitly the vector quantity of how quickly this individual perceives themselves to be moving through time. Now for a human being, let's say, what we would consider subjective time as experienced by the conscious ego of the person could easily be different from the delta-t of let's say a white blood cell, nerve cell or any body cell (which i am asserting has it's own set of information input and output or 'senses'). This would reinforce the subjective nature of the delta-t (which is to say that there is no objective time quantity which externally defines the passage of time). As we have all heard in adages like 'time flies when you're having fun', or Einsteins analogy of the person sitting on a hot stove vs. chatting up a beautiful girl, the perception of the rate of passing time may well be subjective and variable. Many describe time 'slowing down' in a traumatic situation like a car crash. This probably also occurs for professional athletes who hit a 100 MPH+ fastball in such a way that physics and biology suggest is impossible on a mechanical basis because of the 'speed limit' of nerve signals from our muscles and eyes. I am also of the opinion that this percieved time dilation has a physical chemical aspect (my theory is that glutamate and glutamic acid are involved) ; the changes in chemical activity in the brain may influence or be influenced by this subjective time dilation. Some refer to this heightened state of perception where time seems to slow down as being 'in the zone'. To my knowledge this subjective time in relation to how human bodies store memory is poorly understood. Where are memories physically stored in the body? is it in the brain? many believe that memory is actually stored in other parts of the nervous system outside the brain (as evidenced by many bodyworkers who report the release of intense emotions/memories during deep-tissue massage). Now here is where it get's interesting: we know that there is some electrostatic aspect to nerve activity (thus by extension sensation and memory). we also know that both our bodies and those of organisms all around us are also profoundly electromagnetic in their structure and function, and that the earth itself is a gigantic electrostatic dynamo and has a coherent magnetosphere which influences the motion and dynamics of our atmosphere (esp. the ionosphere), which is largely driven by photons, electrons, and cosmic radiation from the sun, jupiter, galactic center etc. Does the magnetosphere store memory? Do the mineral and chemical strata of the earth store memory and information? Does the earth have a delta-t as described above? If so, is the earth's delta-t also variable based on seasons, planetary-solar alignments, etc.? Is it possible to put information/memory into the earth's electrostatic field? Is it possible to extract information from it? Many speculate that space and time possess some holographic property (i.e. all quantum states of particles are somehow entangled and each particle stores information about nearby and even distant particles with which it is constantly interacting). Is there a technology which has been known by humans for building structures (megalithic circles, pyramids, cathedrals, underground crystal caverns) which are profoundly connected to the earth's telluric currents and hypothetical memory storage system? If time is indeed cyclical, and/or holographic does access to past and future 'memories' of organisms and the planet vary according to the cycles of time? Do our seeming randomly arising memories of seemingly unrelated events in our own childhood arise because of some function of time cycles? Can we willfully dilate, contract, or translate our own perceptions of the flow of time? discuss.
