the 3 possible futures for the 3 parallel time-streams

time-stream: a flat expression for the measurement of time, not as unidirectionally linear, but as one dimension above this, as a plane-space. The reason for expressing time this way (as flat, 2-d space) rather than as commonly thought of (as a single direction of motion along a "standard arrow" of increasing entropy) is to allow for the expression of electro-magnetic singularities, the so-called "spooky action at a distance," allowing electrons to quantum-tunnel from one spot on their orbital shell to another instantly. This activity occurs faster than the velocity of photons in a vaccum, the so-called "speed of light" which is the fastest velocity matter with mass can travel before it is entirely evaporated into energy and consumed within its own gravity. Because electrons posess electrical charge but no quantum mass, they may disobey the speed of light and travel faster than photons, thus arriving at a location sooner than light leaving the same source at the same time. Thus, the universe we see below photon radiation is only one dimensional layer of space over one-half dimension, the single direction of time.

 

However, if we include the layer of particles capable of "quantum tunneling," of "spooky action at a distance" or of travelling faster than light as being a separate, additional type of "exotic particles," including also "anti-matter," "dark matter," "gravitons," "tachyons" and the "Higgs" Boson, then we may also see from this separation by type that some particles do not obey the same laws over time as others. By moving "faster than light" some particles could be said to "time-travel" because they would arrive at any "future" point before even light leaving the same source at the same time. Likewise, other particles can disappear from the present, and suddenly re-appear in the past. This sort of "time-travelling" particle includes the radiation of gamma-wavelengths from apparently spontaneous deep-space sources, as well as electrons which can disappear from the leading-edge of a moving atom and simultaneously re-appear at its trailing-edge at the same time, thus passing from a point in its future to a point in its past, again by combining its own velocity to that of the moving atom.

 

Thus, we can measure the full sum of all quanta in our local universal space-time continuum as including both the type that only moves forward along a straight time-line, as well as the type that can move faster or slower than this rate. Likewise, we can measure time in two-directions, and this implies a whole numbered extra-dimension beyond our own. In short, we can think of space as comprised of three levels or layers of temporal direction: 1) faster than photons; 2) photons; and 3) slower than photons. Of course, matter is all slower than photons. Likewise, photons and electrons are usually combined (as the photo-electric effect) into one type of radiative particle grouping, that being considered "sub-space" - insofar as it is a pre-requisite for matter and that it may be used to send pulsed communication on at speeds faster than matter itself can travel. This leaves only the layer of "tachyons," or particles faster than photons in a vaccum. Matter moves forward, photons are considered the fixed rate, and tachyons can move backwards in time.

 

So, to combine matter, the photo-electric effect and to allow for the measurement, in addition to these, of tachyons, we can measure time as a flat surface, extending our own material universe to include beyond it a photo-electric "sub-space" and an invisible over-lapping "hyper-space" of particles moving faster than photons. The continuum of space without time is the universe of matter-energy, its combined motions are called time, and time can occur simultaneously from past toward future or from future toward past relative to the speed of light. This allows for the measurement of time as a flat-plane space because in this model multiple, even opposite, "time-lines" may occur.

 

Thus, a "time-stream" constitutes a single directional motion along a time-line, where the combined motions along all simultaneous time-lines comprises a flat plane-space. If space is all matter-energy frozen in time, then think of the "time-stream" as like a flat diameter of space, measuring the forward and backward directions of motion along the universal "time-line." Thus a time-stream is a slice of space that is frozen in time. Just as time measures motion of space, a time-stream is a measure of the motions of time through stationary space. A time-stream, in this sense, is equivalent to the concept in theoretical physics of an M-brane.

 

parallel: to say there are three time-streams that overlap one another invisibly conjures up the image of three pieces of transparent paper being placed on top of one another. However this is not exactly accurate to this model, even with it established that time may be measured as a flat-plane rather than as merely a single-directional line. A time-stream, or M-brane, is a model measuring the motion of space over time as a flat sheet, however on this surface there are simultaneously all the matter-energy, photons and tachyons moving in all directions through time. One may liken this model to if one took a flat sheet of transparent paper to represent each Planck time since the big-bang at the origin of our universe. However, such a pile of "Planck-time" width sheets or temporal M-branes would not be like a book, read only from front to back, but would be more like the trunk of a tree, which would be made through both growth upward from the roots and nutrition flowing downward from its leaves.

 

If we think of a "time-stream" or M-brane as such: a still-photograph of all the particles of the universe, including sub- and hyper- space as well, showing which particles originated in a following photo, and which paritcles originated in a previous photo, then we can liken the concept of "parallel time-streams" to a forest of such figurative "trees," where not parallel universes, but parallel paths per particle, comprise their "trunks" or figurative stacks of slices. Thus, our universe would be likened to the forest, and each particle's path (or vector) through time represented as a single tree within it. Thus, we say there are "parallel time-streams," meaning not only that the sum of all universal particles in any one given Planck-time is a slice of space over time, but that the sum of all particles' motion over all time-lines (both from before and after now) along this same layer is also a flat plane-space, in turn measuring all particles' directions of motion through time. It is these "time-streams" (the vertical trees) and not the motion along them of time-lines (horizontal slices measuring across the rings of each conceptual tree) that grow "parallel" to one another.

 

three parallel time-streams: thus, there are 3 possible parallel time-streams - one travelling from the future (the branches of the tree) toward the past, down the vertical axis, one travelling from the past (the roots of the tree) to the future, up the vertical axis, and a third measure of our space-time continuum in any given Planck-time as a flat horiztonal slice (leveling all the trees in the forest). We measure the first as tachyons, the second as matter-energy, and the third as the photo-electric effect. In this model, the universal continuum of matter-energy we call space-time is 3-dimensional and the 2 opposite directions of motion for particles through time measure time as 2-dimensional.

the better: the time-line that progresses opposite the standard decaying of entropy is isomorphic, meaning cyclical. We call this measure of time "better" because it is in keeping with our biological existence, which is, likewise, negatively entropic, surviving opposite the highest odds of it being impossible to do so. This principle is argued backwards (from present to past) anthropically by saying, "if things had not been as they were before, we would not see things being the way they are now." In short, that which is good for the survival of biological life is considered "better" than the opposite, that is, the decay of ordered matter toward chaotic energy called entropy. In a time-line where conditions improve for biological life, chaotic conflicts are replaced by ordered systems. This occurs only when one end of the time-line is "plugged in" to the other end; thus forming a cycle as an isomorphic, or self-connected, shape. Such isomomrphic cycles comprise the "better" form of time-line than their opposite, the "worse" form of unimpeded entropy, which is expressed as a single direction of motion along a universal time-line. The reason this principle is anthropic (argued backwards from present to past) is because an isomoprhic cycle in time travels faster, slower and sometimes even opposite the direction of the time-line surrounding the outside of it. Likewise, "if things were not as they now are, then such a "better" form of future would not be possible."

 

the same: if all events in time were measured as like a string of beads, and a "better" future would connect the opposite ends of such a thread to one another, then it logically follows the "worse" future would disconnect all the beads from the string and leave only randomised chaos. However, it is also worse than to make from a string of beads an isomorphic necklace, yet also better than total random chaos, that the string of beads should simply continue on in a more or less straight line, and neither re-connect to itself nor crumble into complete disorder. In such a model, the trends of both survival and war would continue unendingly, and all that we build would fall, be rebuilt and fall again unendingly only to the extent that it is improved upon each time and the parts that fail left behind. Such a "compromise" between an improving time-line, where survival becomes ever-easier, and a "worse" time-line, where survival became constantly more difficult, is indeed considered the "way of the world" yesterday, today and tomorrow. Survival is a struggle where "good" wins half the time and "evil" wins the other half. Such a time-line would only appear to change on the surface, but would essentially remain the same forever. Thus, although not isomorphic itself, it would allow the formation within it of temporary isomorphic time-lines.

 

the worse: in a time-line that progressively degenerates all matter into energy in a single direction, the formation of biological life could not be possible in the first place. The existence of consciousness, of self-awareness, as potential in all biological life pre-supposes such a universal downward-spiral as impossible. Thus, though life does die, and though "good" does not always win, and though all matter does eventually decay into energy, and entropy will one day have evaporated all order into chaos, at this point where we exist now in such a universal time-line, there is the allowance for isomorphic cycles to arise in opposition to the mainstream current, the passage of universal time. In the conditions which would be worst for the survival of biological consciousness, all has broken down into complete chaos, disorder, entropy and energy, and there is no chance for any form of life, order, matter or isomorphic cycle to form.
