The wonder of Life through Time (Scientific Approach)

For me, there are only two faces of time... the Future and the Past. Everything is either "going to happen" or "have already happened". There is no such thing as "Present". This is just a misconception by almost all people to describe the series of phenomenon when the future meets one's existence and instantly becomes the past.



In the image above, I am standing in a timeline. Everything at the right side is the future. It is going to happen. Even if it is 1/999999999999 of a second from now, it hasn't happened yet so it is still the future.

Everything at the left side is the past. It already happened. Even if it is 1/99999999999 second later, it already did happen so it is already the past.

My existence is just a point in the middle. Everything before me is the future and then as it passes through me, it instantly becomes the past.

Now, if I put my honey in the equation-



Initially we have two separate timelines, but as time goes on, our futures become one and our pasts merges into one experiences-



We still have one point of existence each. But the merging of our past and future creates a region that seems to exist outside the normal timeline. In this region, her immediate future is different with my immediate future and so is our immediate past. But although different, it stemmed from only one future and would end up into one and only one past. It seems that there is a force that pushes the timelines apart so that we won't experience exactly the same events in our lives. And this same force makes life more exciting. We do things together but we experience the details differently. And part of you feels so comfortable being aware of each other's experiences. And sharing these experiences to each other makes life more meaningful.

With the merging of our timelines, we create a region that is ours. Not mine. Not hers alone. Ours. Without her, the region won't exist. Without me, the region won't exist either. This is what I call the love region.

So we can safely say that love lies in our life's timeline. As long as you want to see the same future, experience it in a different way, then reminisce it with the same past, then you will stay in love. But once you got tired of it, if you don't want to exist in the region I described above, then you are not in love anymore.

Your existence becomes two separate points in time again.

All experiences seems to be so distant from one anoother. You see different future and you don't see each other in your past. And then you decide it won't simply work and you go your separate ways.


So your existence becomes a single point again in time. Every 1/99999999999 of a second from now is the future. Every 1/99999999999 of a second after is the past. And you try so hard to enjoy alone the series of instances when your future meets your existence and instantly becomes your past. Then you try to convince yourself that this is normal. You say- you are just trying to live in your present...
