Resting Light Theory

[Wick]

It makes sense that energy is associated with fourth-dimensional displacement and polarity. People often lose sight of the 4D nature of space-time. It seems that the 4th D, of time, is much more than just time as we know it.

And maybe not time at all...but just another spatial dimension.

If lineland stretches and bends, the time it took to walk from point "a" to point "b" takes longer than when the line was straight. This is a perfectly spatial relationship. So the stretching and bending of space may well be spatial in nature as well. Time may simply be a PROPERTY associated with the falling universe. Time may not be a dimension at all.

If the time-line aether has quantum steps in xyz, one step after another around a looped path, all the energy is in one step and somehow the past, present and future exist somehow or is remembered. It would take an imagination to think of the time necessary to step a path out to make our universe.

In a 4D hypervolume, time, as we know it here might be all-at-once there, as that would be the 4D view, so, I guess, there, it's no change overall, and no eternal notion, but just whether the thing is, versus that it is not. But still have to find out why it is.

But Resting Light Theory is not based upon the idea that the universe has quantum steps. Nor is it based upon an x, y, z dimensional struction. It is actually based upon the idea that the 4D hyperspace is continuous (not quantized), but appears to be quantized when a 3D space moves through it. In Resting Light Theory there is no past or future. There is only the present. If the past is remembered, it is only in the records left in the present. The future can never be remembered, because it hasn't happened yet...and it won't happen until it becomes the present...a which time it would no longer be the future.

Or perhaps in a 4D hypervolume, there would be no time (all-at-once or otherwise). If the present is all there is. The all-at-once nature of the universe simply means, "what you see is what you get". There may be something outside of our seeing...but the part we are missing is not "missing time," but rather "missing space."

The universe only consists of the configuration of now. There is no existing configuration of past or future. There may be records of past configurations, but only as they exist in the present...bones, rememberance, letters, pressed leaves, etc.

The now is ever playing out in the present, but the universe keeps no history of it. A kind of sort of history would be that all events always play out somewhere, over and over again, maybe even at the same time in many places.
