If you are referring to the relative absolutes of science, then I philosophically – logically – reject them because they don’t contextually apply to a single independent state. I don’t think it is possible to define relative as absolute, or vice-versa.

Like the saying, “There is no time like the present.” The only time created in the present can be a past time. You can say that the mind has a pastime of creating a history that no longer exists, and when we consider that each timeframe is dependent on past conditions that don’t exist, we can conclude that the immediate present and the conditions that create it lie within the absolute center of where you are right “now” - from a single point because even an infinite number of zero-dimensional points equal the same number of points, namely none.

That’s precisely the case imo, Analog. Time symmetry must be broken, divided, in order to allow for the differentials required for conscious observations. It’s like walking forward or backward, with each step being a break in symmetry. You can’t do both simultaneously, but the absolute universe
must and therefore is always at rest – perfect symmetry.
Once the symmetry is broken, chaos ensues and an infinite number of random interactions occurs as a result of the abstract absolutes - the one and zero – from which I propose consciousness plays the ordering role as it is encoded in the DNA. It governs the brain and body, and all time-dependent conditions required for encoding because it is not “set” as pre-existent matter. It is a massive
process, and not a material existence.

The way I consider it, absolute time doesn’t exist because it is the non-existent basis for what is referred to as existence. To understand time, perhaps, more easily as space – since both are synonymous – consider what is required for there to be a concept of up and down, or left and right; there needs to be the non-existent absolute divisor that is neither up nor down, nor right nor left. That absolute divisor, then, is the present “now” and absolute time.

Then, you would get into the headache of what we know as present reality riding that wave across space, whereby, in front of the wave was furture, and behind the wave past. I don't know. I never was drawn to this type of thought, not to say that you aren't right. |
Like I always say to Dave, it’s about being right to you because others can be wrong. For me, the absolute universe can only have absolute density, space, time, mass, speed, etc.. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be absolute.
What we consciously realize – when reality is subconsciously-created – is the time-dependent factors of Einstein’s Relativity that logically extend infinitely as space and eternally as time. Yet, what we can’t realize, directly, is that the absolute universe has no reality in such times, and therefore the container that contains dimensional reality must be abstract. There is no reason for the absolute universe to move or propagate through any medium, but like quantum jumping is already “there” because it is nowhere in particular; “in particular” as being prerequisite for describing and discerning concrete reality in
particular places and at
particular times.
The relative absolutes of science can be likened to fractions between one and zero, and counter-intuitively the one and zero are exactly the same because they meet like two ends looped in a circle where we can no longer tell where the ends are; the ends, the one and zero, no longer exist. Now when we put that in a perspective of density, absolute solidity and absolute vacuity disappear to form the basis for the infinite number of variable densities – mediums, field densities, etc. - all based on reducing the absolute time of the universe; again, zero time because it takes zero time to reach anywhere. I propose it is the long-sought-after
cause.
