We need to re-examine our perception of time.

As mobile organisms, this sentient interface between body and situation functions as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, so our experience of time is as the point of the present moving past to future. Which physics codifies as measures of duration and correlates with measures of distance, to create "spacetime."

The reality is that action and the resulting change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns. Duration is the present, as the events coalesce and dissolve.

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

Energy is "conserved," because it manifests this presence, creating time, as well as temperature, pressure, color and sound. Frequencies and amplitudes, rates and degrees.

The energy goes past to future, because the patterns generated come and go, future to past. Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall.

Consciousness also goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts giving it form and structure go future to past. Though it is the digestive system processing the energy, the nervous system sorting the information and the circulation system as feedback between the two.

So there is an intellectual tendency to frame everything in terms of the information, rather than the processes generating it.

Galaxies are energy radiating out, as structure coalesces in......
