Since our experience of reality is a sequence of perceptions, we think of time as the present moving past to future, but isn't it change, turning future to past? Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

There is no literal dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Aka, causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.

Energy is "conserved," because it is the present. Its changing configuration creates this effect called time, as well as temperature, pressure, color, sound. Think frequencies and amplitudes.

Ideal gas laws correlate volume with temperature and pressure, but we don't call them the 5th and 6th dimensions of space, because they are only foundational to our emotions, bodily functions and environment, not the sequence of perception we evolved as mobile organisms.

While the dynamic goes past to future, the patterns generated go future to past. Though all we perceive are the patterns. As these mobile organisms, we have the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems processing the energy driving us on, while the central nervous system sorts through the patterns, the forms and information, precipitating out.

Think of a wave; The energy drives it, while frequency and amplitude are information derived from the fluctuations created by this energy, rising and falling.

Galaxies are energy radiating out, as form coalesces in.

So whenever we measure it, we extract and effectively create the information, which is categorically different from the energy, as they go opposite directions of time, for one thing.

Apparently there is enormous missing mass in the universe, but what if the observed gravitational effect isn't so much an effect of mass, as it is this process of information creation, extending all the way out the spectrum? Even waves and particles are information, not energy. Nouns, not verbs.

Such that the process of information creation is not exactly a wave collapse, but an energy into form collapse/consolidation. Thus taking up less space, but creating more defintion.

Which would have implications for cosmology, as well, since multi-spectrum light “packets” do redshift over distance, as the higher spectrums dissipate faster, so that what we observe is more of a wave front, than individual photons, traveling billions of lightyears.
