How can time be contaminated by man? We haven't devised a way to augment the Earth's rotation around the sun....yet. objective measurement of motion relative to the uniform motion of energy; And secondly, our subjective interpretation or perception of change. Movement is change, but in the mental realm we have learned to compare change by boxing the changes into the containers called past, present, and future. I do not know why we mentally line these boxes of photographs up in a linear path with an arrow; Probably because the intrinsic motion of life does have a direction.is always movement and change. I think at the level of the underlying energy of the universe, there would be no perception of movement, and that is the present. Even though we do not perceive at this level, yet reality is uniform at this level. Therefore, we are in the present --and the past and the future...they are just our way of storing photographs. truly a time line in objective reality--these concerns are contaminated by our inability to ever examine the issue, outside of our own consciousness. So we cannot know whether time perception is simply the way our minds must work in order to compare and separate the photographs of experience...or whether we truly are riding a tide .
