Time is fluid.
The Universe, built on energy, matter, and Time. Undercurrents of
dimensions flow relentlessly, as though guided by consciousness, or
perhaps a higher power.
Einstein and Hawking touched the fabric of the Universe, beginning
the foundations of understanding that surround humanity -- physics,
energy, matter and, yes, Time. Aye, Time is fluid, flowing and
twisting around the fabric of the Universe -- velocity,
acceleration, and consciousness.
Consciousness sprung from nothingness, understanding elusive. Mind
over matter? Mind over Time?
But what of the occult? Spirits? Bibles? Ancient learning, only
beginning to come to light? Claims of miracles, of prophets, of
phenomenon against the sane patterns of Her rules.
But what exists without Time? Parallel universes? Pockets of cause
and effect, of effect and cause? Heaven? Hell?
Can one exist outside of Time? Can one shape Time, alter it, cause
It to flow backwards against the carved course of the river? And
what of paradox? Will the Universe allow one to kill oneself in an
earlier time? Will She reveal Her secrets, if consciousness is
persistent enough, is brave enough, is insane enough to probe that
which may rip the very fabric of existence to shreds?
Can events occur outside of Time?
Or can consciousness manipulate Time, without paradox, without
danger, without damaging that which has spawned that consciousness,
creating infinite independent timelines that criss-cross, or do not?
Cause and effect, skewed, but profound?
Einstein touched the soul of the Universe, and was frightened even
through the wonder.
Time is fluid, its course meandering and changeable.
