Here's something to bust your noodle, hehe. Time is nothing more than a further extension (dimension) of reality.

In my previous statement, I theorized that all time at any given moment is just a snapshot of that instant of existance. What about time dialation, you ask? If time as a reference can be changer for one segment and locked into matter (such as a human travelling at near the speed of light), then it would appear to throw my theory into the dust, correct?

This is absolutely false. As movement speed increases, the pinpoint dot of matter or energy is extended from a dot to a line. Imagine the difference between the zero (point) and first dimensions (line). This reaction is similar to the reaction between the third and fourth (time). In essense, dot stays constant and whole on the 3d vector while blurring into a line on the 4d vector. As your speed increases, this slight blurring turns into a line. After this manner of thinking, with all other considerations aside, if one breached the speed of light and kept increasing velocity, that line could stretch from one point of 4d space to the far boundary in one fell shot, allowing that capsule of our 3d space to travel until the termination of both time and existance, which of course is the null termination of the originating equation.

Visualize d5 (fifth dimension) as a bell curve mirrored at the X axis. Your path through time is a shorter bell (d4) somewhere in between the external lines. As the equation propogates, the bell gets wider until the point of termination at which point it collapses upon itself. With each flip/flop or binary possibility in each uncertainty related switch in the equation, the timeline doubles FOR THAT POINT. On a massive scale, the bell curve described above grows impossibly large and impossibly fast, and collapses in the same way.

As for the equation I theorized earlier, think of it as a fractal ... as it progresses, it increases itself and replicates itself repeatedly and infinitely if it is continuously progressed. The uniqueness of the one I theorize, however, is one in which the terminating points of the fractal eventually all end up in the starting point. It is possible, due to this, that the equation would once again propogate itself after this, causing all that we are and have experienced to happen over and over again in echos.

Lets take a religious look at this ... could it be possible that an "afterlife", so to speak, is nothing more than having to repeat our lives in a seemingly endless loop without ever being able to see our future events that have happened countless times before? Wouldn't that just be a bastard?

Lets take a manipulative look at this: this would allow for time travel. While I can't envision a way to make it go BACKWARDS from our frame of reference (well, maybe ... ), I can certainly visualize the way to make it go FORWARDS, and if done correctly, it can be done with NO d3 movement, such as taking advantage of the time warping properties of intense gravity and such. I can also envision ways to travel to other d4 threads via d5 travel ... though going through space-time tears (such as those theorized in black hole research) would not be very comfortable ... and perhaps these structures are nothing more than balance valves between alternate d4 lines. This would be the method that time travel could resolve paradoxes, though it may result in destruction of part of that thread of existance to counterbalance the change depending on the weight of the paradox's consequences.

Anywho, there is some more stuff to bake your noodle with.
