Our life is full of moments, others are bad and others are good. Moments that determine whether we live a happy life or not. All those moments last a certain period of time and added together they form an experience. Time is a sequence of those distinct moments.
How many times you had been so happy and you prayed for this to last forever? But this is not how time works.Time is precious; you can never go back and you cannot move forward, all you can do is live fully in the present moment. You cannot buy, trick or manipulate time.
According to Miroslav Holub’s theory, human consciousness lives in a present that is a few seconds long.
There is only one absolute present, which changes moment by moment as if a spotlight is moving over it. So you can think now that time is an illusion-the mind decides how long or short a moment is. There’s no single objective past, objective present or objective future. The illusion of time is crafted by our memories, our experiences and our upcoming plans. If you are present in your complete being then a moment can last forever. Therefore, you need to spend your time wisely and for things that really matter.
In 1915, Albert Einstein published his general theory of relativity which changed, changes, and will change the way we perceive time. In his groundbreaking theory, he proposed that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers. This basically explains why, if you were to watch a car drive past you, you would interpret the car’s passengers as moving at the same speed as the car, since their speed is relative to your position as an observer on still ground. Meanwhile, inside the car, the passengers feel like stationary objects, since their motion matches the car’s motion, relative to the outside world.
But while Einstein’s theory of relative motion could be applied to all objects in the universe, he also realized that one exception to relativity was light. Light always moves at a constant speed. These two principles let Einstein to conceive of a link between time and space, also known as spacetime. And one of its tricky implications is that the perception of how time passes can be different between two observers depending on how much faster one is moving compared to the other. So, if it’s possible for two observers to have two accurate perspectives of time’s passing, but for those perspectives to be different: whose clock is right and whose is wrong? Oddly enough, they are both right.
So how long is forever?
As long as you feel it to be. There is no actual answer for that because forever has different meanings for everyone. So make every moment count and live fully in the present of each moment; this way you can make it forever.
