IMO, time is no more real than the Sun-God riding
his chariot across the sky every day. Any equation
that contains a time term needs to take that into
account.

Of course this is all true. However, to primitive earthlings viewing
the daily progress of the sun across the sky the chariot theory is
perfectly sane and real. That IS how it appears to the earth observer.
Same for time.

For argument assume that all possible events and actions and the
progression between them all is laid out in some huge matrix. In that
sense all this structure is only "a kind of space". Now imagine a
consciousness that has a certain velocity and is capable of
experiencing the matrix in a very narrow viewpoint much as a needle
plays a phonograph record. That needle has followed a certain path up
to the point where it presently is. That path is fixed and
unalterable. What it did, it did! Where the needle is right now is in
fact, experienced as 'now". But the path that the needle might take is
open to choice (free will) and that new path would be termed the
future. The needle doesn't skip around so choices DO have consequences
of things you must "go through" if you choose a certain "path".

If you take flatland to the next level, what you observe is that
higher dimensions manifest themselves in the lower dimensions as time!
So if you were to take a viewpoint high above the matrix observing a
consciousness inscribing it's path through life, to you you'd see all
"parallel universes" plus the past that was taken, plus what was being
experienced "now" as well as the possible choices for the future.
Given some input, you probably could even estimate the most probable
future path to be chosen.

But of course none of this answers the most important question which
is what do 2 GHz AM signals in space sound like? I believe the answer
is that they sound just like the Venusian signals Adamski received
from the beamships right before they appeared!
