How Relativity “Proves” We All Live In Separate Bubbles of Reality

by Koda

Einstein’s theory of General Relativity predicted that time would pass more slowly for objects in motion compared to relatively stationary objects.  This is known as time dilation and has been proven to be true on countless occasions.  Perhaps the most obvious example is the fact that GPS satellites have to adjust for time dilation due to their high velocities as they orbit the planet.  If the system did not correct for time dilation your GPS location would be off by hundreds of miles in just a few days.

Over the course of a lifetime all of us travel to some extent, some more than others.  Airline pilots, for example, travel far greater distances than poor farmers in third world countries, and at much higher velocities.  Time dilation is most extreme near the speed of light, and at the speed of light time stops completely.  (If you were a photon of light you could travel billions of light years across the universe and to you the journey would take no time at all.)  At more conventional speeds, say that of someone in a jet aircraft, a long flight might only slow your relative position in time by a few billionths of a second.

It is essential to understand that because all of us travel, all of us have experienced a different amount of time passing.  This may only be millionths or even billionths of a second, but none of us are in exactly the same present moment.  This has profound consequences on our understanding of the nature of reality.

Let’s imagine that Joe is an astronaut who has traveled back and forth to Mars for many years in a spacecraft much faster than anything we have today.  As a result he  has experienced a full minute less time than his wife who remained on Earth.  Joe returns from one of his space missions, opens the door and sees his wife facing away from him as she watches TV.  “Honey, I’m home!” he says enthusiastically.  His wife ignores him like he isn’t even there, so Joe turns around in disgust and slams the door on his way out.

One minute after Joe came in his wife hears Joe come inside and speak his greeting.  She turns around and sees Joe standing in the doorway.  “It is so good to see you!” she says as she gets up out of her chair and runs over to give him a big hug.  She hugs him, but suddenly Joe’s expression turns to one of disgust and without saying another word he turns around and walks out slamming the door behind him.

If we actually are in different present moments each of us would experience different events.  In the case above, Joe’s wife gives him a hug, but Joe never felt that hug and instead experienced being completely ignored by his wife.  This is not what happens, but it MUST happen if we all exist in different present moments in time.  How can this contradiction be explained?

In the previous post (link) I explained how the physical universe is contained inside a concept or idea called infinity, and how nothing physical can exist within an idea.  This implies that what we perceive as physical reality is actually just the perception of metaphysical information which exists beyond the reach of our physical senses.  There is no rational alternative to this conclusion.

Time dilation is a physical fact.  We do not physically exist in the same present moment as the people around us, even if we appear to do so.  That means there is not an objective, out there, separate from us physical world where NOW is the same for everyone.

Matter can only be proven to exist in the present moment.  If I set a candle on a table and ask a bunch of scientists to prove it exists, they can weigh the candle, measure its length, analyze its chemical composition and otherwise come to a consensus that the candle does in fact exist.  But can they prove that the candle existed in the past or will exist in the future?  I could light the candle and the next day it may not exist at all.  I could have cut the bottom half off the candle before placing it on the table, or made the candle earlier that morning and that would mean the candle didn’t exist the day before.  The scientists can not prove objects exist in the past or future because they can not take their measuring equipment into the past or future.  Matter can only be proven to exist in the present moment.

If reality is only real in the present, and we are all in a different present moment, then we can not be experiencing the same, identical reality as everyone else.

Let that sink in for a moment.  The world you see around you is not made of the same, identical physical matter that others experience.

This can be a difficult idea to wrap your head around.  Matter appears to exist over time.  The home you live in at this moment seems to have been there yesterday and will almost certainly be there tomorrow, but there is no way to prove these assumptions.  Science demands proof.  It has been proven that all of us exist in a different position in time.  It can not be proven that matter exists outside the present moment, so if we are in different present moments each of us must be experiencing a different version of reality.

The evidence appears to indicate that each of us live inside our own, personal bubble of perception.  If you and I are sitting at a table, for example, there are 2 tables, the table in your reality and the table in my reality.  There are 4 chairs and 4 people, each of us experiencing 2 of each.

In the previous post I described how the nature of infinity proves that reality is an illusion consisting of nothing but information, and experiments in quantum mechanics support this conclusion.  Relativity proves we do not experience the same, identical-physical-matter-world because we are not in the same moment of now where that matter can be proven to exist.  What we perceive is nothing but information.  The information exists on a metaphysical dimension and our individual consciousness appears to translate that information into our own bubble of perception separate from everyone else.  The evidence tells us that we all exist in a separate bubble of reality.

In the next post I explain how essentially any two people can experience a form of psychic phenomena I call visual telepathy in just a few minutes.  It produces “alterations” in one’s visual perception which support the idea that the world around us is not as solid and real as it seems.
