Foreseeing the bygone days !!!!

This is a theoretical blog and not a great work of literature as it may seem from the topic .In fact this blog is inspired by various articles and videos on the illusions of time.
I am proceeding with the surmise that this topic would ideally blend with my idea to challenge the meaninglessness of time...

Today we see a lot of hallucinatory videos and pictures flaunting unreal scenes, one example which I could recollect is an inert image appearing to be in motion merely because it is outlined in such a manner ...Is time a much complex illusion like the same which our brain cannot comprehend??

The most confounding element in this theory is the forthright inquest on the credibility of time. Well if present and future are mere extensions of past then why can't we assume that past, present and future exist together and stems from a common outset?? Then it can be supposed that Past, Present and Future coexist together and are exhibited one at a time rather than following a sequence as we perceive...Well then time is not the universal background as mentioned in various articles and on contrary it does not even exist

If everything is an illusion then does future precede past???can we predict history??? are all the antiques contemporary???should we plan for yesterday rather than tomorrow????can we look back at the nostalgic times ahead????belated and advanced wishes are the same???
Obviously we have not advanced up to that level to answer these endless list of questions. But I have come up with a very simple explanation to shed some light on this



I Precised 3 Scenes in a video and asked a friend to observe a particular part in each of those

Scene 1 - A chef cutting vegetables and arranging it in a plate. My friend was asked to observe the way in which that chef was cutting those vegetables and placing it in the plates.

Scene 2 - The same Chef cooking those sliced vegetables. Here I asked my friend to observe the way in which those vegetables were put into the pan and the quantity of other ingredients which were added alongside.

Scene 3 -  The chef was serving the cooked food and I asked my friend to look at the way in which the chef was using the spoons to serve it.

.....These 3 videos were shown over and over again to him and he was asked to maintain his observation. At a particular instant I asked him to stop observing and it was an astounding moment for him when he became aware that it was 3 different chefs cutting, cooking and serving at the same time in the same video and it was merely his observation that led him to the conclusion that he was watching 3 different videos...Well as you all might already know that mind can only acknowledge one thing at a time and whatever happening alongside will be overlooked,because of this I could easily knock him over with a feather

Like those videos ,I guess past, present and future are similar sections of a much complex system which we are not capable of unraveling...and guess this blog could explain this delusion to some extent


Thanks for Reading!!!!!!
