It is believed that all objects of the Universe: stars, galaxies, nebulae are located on a thin film of the energy impulse formed as a result of the initial Big Bang. These space objects are flowers on the surface of the expanding ball. The similarity with the inflatable ball also increases because, as in the ball, the void inside and outside and all objects of the Universe are located only on the surface of the energy impulse, and inside and outside the void. I will try to depict this in the picture.
I suppose that inside and outside the sphere is not just emptiness, but there is nothing at all from the point of view of physical space. All spatial geometry of the Universe is enclosed in this energy impulse. Outside the surface of the sphere of the Universe, space turns into time literally. Here the design of our physical world changes in the most unusual way.
Why then do we not see this emptiness, but see the stars everywhere: at the top, at the bottom, and at the center? Something like this:
This is precisely one of the paradoxes of time, which directly connects time with space.
I repeat once again – the Universe is just the perimeter of the expanding energy impulse, and all space objects are on its surface.
What is characteristic of these space objects? They are all located at the same distance from the epicenter of the Big Bang and, therefore, they all have the same time. Of course, they rotate, change position relative to each other. But, since the Universe is huge in itself, all these fluctuations of space objects do not play a big role in terms of a common and uniform time for the Universe. The Universe is continuously expanding along the radius but all space objects are moving away from the epicenter at the same speed, therefore time in the whole Universe is the same.
But the paradox is that, being in the same present time, these space objects in this present time do not see each other. Although they have the same time, however, they are at different distances from each other around the perimeter of the energy impulse. Let’s call it the present time distance. Some of them are closer to each other, others farther. There are very remote objects. The observer at each of them in the present tense sees only himself. Any other space object that seems to be in the same present tense, he sees only when the light from this object reaches the observer. And what is very important: the impact of one space object on another occurs only when the energy impulse of this object reaches another object. It is the same speed of light. That is, it turns out that one space object, being in the same time with another space object, learns about its existence only in the past tense. Since space objects are located at different distances from each other, then the time spent by light to overcome this distance will be different. And these cosmic objects in the night sky will line up in front of the observer in accordance with the distance to the observer on the surface of the sphere of our Universe. The farther the distance around the perimeter of the energy pulse, on which all space objects, the longer the light goes to the observer, the more distant past tense the observer sees them. The most distant objects can be correlated in time with a moment close to the Big Bang. And on the surface of the sphere of our Universe it will be the farthest located space objects from the observer. It turns out that we see the most distant stellar objects as they were more than 13 billion years ago and we will know what they are now only after the next 13 or more billions of years.
Another question arises, but will the observer see those cosmic objects that are beyond the horizon of the sphere, because the Universe is still a sphere, not a flat blanket, but the light moves in a straight line?
Since the physical world is arranged so that the observer sees only light, and the instruments register only the electromagnetic radiation of the source, it turns out that the observer sees the world around him only in the past tense. And in the present tense is only the observer himself. Of course, what is at arm’s length is conditionally considered to be real, but here the starry sky is exactly the past time.
It turns out that the present is just a point, and this point is an observer. Generally speaking, the surface of our Universe is completely the real time sphere, but it consists of many separate points of conditional observers or receivers of electromagnetic radiation. How can one not recall the mathematical definition of a straight line, that this is just a collection of points.
In general, geometrically, space is some kind of construction where the space around the perimeter of the energy impulse, with the same time, is not the same for each space object separately. That is, the real present time exists only in the space object itself, and the space around it exists exclusively in the past tense.
Moreover, due to the fact that the Universe is continuously expanding, the stages of this past time are located at different distances from the epicenter along the radius of the expansion of the Universe. That is, for each period of time there is a mark on the radius, a kind of temporary shelf. And the observer, seeing space objects at different distances from himself, sees them at different levels of the expansion of the Universe, on different shelves of the bookcase, depending on their distance from the observer along the perimeter of the pulse. That is why all space objects for the observer not located on a thin film of the perimeter of the energy pulse, but scattered across the sky. Instead of a spherical film of the perimeter of the energy pulse, the observer sees some space completely filled with stars all the way to the center. And in this space one can observe all the stages of the development of the Universe.
There is a paradoxical situation. We cannot see the real energy impulse that our Universe is.
But these paradoxes of time does not end. Another paradox of time is that these stages appear to the observer at the same time, as if in the present tense “here and now.” They appear before the observer at the same time, starting almost from the moment of the Big Bang and the formation of the first stars and galaxies, and ending with nearby space objects. Moreover, all these types of past tense, starting from the most distant and ending with the closest, look as if it is a real present. Reality for the observer is not the reality of the cosmos. Cosmic space with a single objective time does not exist for the observer. But he sees at the same time all the stages of the development of the Universe, and time is also as if absent because the observer sees all the past of the Universe at the same time.
Now directly about the time.
What is characteristic of time. We know that time is divided into present, past and future.
In the present tense the action takes place now. In the past tense, the action has already happened, and in the future – the action has yet to occur. From the point of view of the observer, the past and the future are not real events, but information about past or supposed events, that is, there is no event, there is only information that it was or will be. Well, the present is different from the past and the future in that the event is actually happening at this moment in our physical world. No matter how short the event is, it still takes some time.
I somehow wondered how long the present really lasts before becoming the past. It turned out that the past is here, near. There was only now, but already became the past. I tried to define a time frame for the present. I tried to draw a scale on which, on the one hand, I postponed the future, and on the other, the past. Both the future and the past on the scale could be continued indefinitely, but the present between them lasted only a moment. I called it the “moment of the present.” Moreover, it was impossible to determine the time frame of the present. I even turned to the microworld and found out, for example, that some elementary particles live their turbulent life from birth to death in 10—27, that is, in 0.0000000000000000000000001 seconds. But you can add a few more zeros to this short present and still not catch it. As
