  1. Dear Mr Fridman and Professor Smollin, Thanks to you Mr Fridman, you offer a platform for global debate. Professor Smollin has stimulated my thinking into realizing (rightly or wrongly) that what time is basically is the ‘consciousness’ of the universe. What do I mean by that? What I mean is that time allows the mind to comprehend the series of events that follow one after into what we call the past. The present is time showing us its face in fleeting images of unfolding events. Nature has evolved what we call time as simply the way one can put cascading events into a pattern. Time allows events to be categorized. Because it is invisible, we have trouble defining it, but it is really the tool that nature has devised to show the continuum of existence. Professor Smollin may be correct in saying the future has not been mapped out. My theoretical ideas are what comes out of my brain when I pose the question of what time is. Whether or not it is relevant, only time will tell!

  2.  @empyrionin  GGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. What I believe is that what we percieve as consciousness is in fact what the universe provides for all and everything to tune in to for its instructions per se on how to live or exist. Time is most likely the wheels and motor of consciousness. Nothing can move without time, not thoughts, hot material objects, not the progression of all things.
