Virtual Proof: Arson (and a small amount of negligent human cause) is to blame

What is the ignition temperature of plant matter? 450 Fahrenheit!!! Average ignition temperatures were species dependent, ranging from 227°C to 453°C, with a large degree of scatter from leaf to leaf. Correlations of time to ignition and ignition temperature were made, but showed only a weak dependence on leaf thickness and almost no dependence on mass of moisture in the leaf. https://research.fs.usda.gov/treesearch/30610

Hypothetical I.Q. Test: You are in your living room and it's getting very hot. You keep putting more logs on the active fireplace. Q: Did the living room heat cause the fire in the fireplace, or did the fireplace heat up the living room?

Hypothetical Answer: Chicken Little Climate Change DEFINITELY DOES NOT COMPLETELY CAUSE WILDFIRES!!! On the contrary, wildfires cause the atmosphere to heat up and produces billions of tons of CO2 and Toxic Smoke and Particulates. (Opinion: Virtually a Reversal of Cause and Effect)

Arson is the criminal act of deliberately or maliciously setting fire to property including public lands with the intent to damage or defraud. Devices and “hot sets” are commonly used to ignite fires. Arson is a felony, punishable by imprisonment of one year or more and/or a fine. A suspect found guilty of arson may also be responsible for all costs associated with the suppression, rehabilitation of land, and damages incurred by the wildfire he/she set. Arson fires may account for over 20% of all human-caused wildland fires, and up to 70% or more fires in some jurisdictions. The actual number is unclear as arsons fires may not be recognized as such and be classified as another cause, undetermined, or unknown for some time before a pattern develops. https://www.nifc.gov/fire-information/fire-prevention-education-mitigation/wildfire-investigation#arson

Remotely Piloted Aircraft Become Mainstay of Wildland Firefightin. Aug. 7, 2018 | By Air Force Senior Airman Crystal Housman, California National Guard. Five years after a proof-of-concept mission, the MQ-9 Reaper drone has developed into a key asset in California’s fight against wildfires, including the Carr and Mendocino Complex Fires, which are currently burning in Northern California. https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/1595204/

No Life on Earth Without Trees

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, including trees, use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen as a byproduct while producing the sugars they need to grow, essentially allowing them to "create" themselves and the oxygen we breathe in the atmosphere; this process is vital for life on Earth as we know it. Leaves pull in carbon dioxide and water and use the energy of the sun to convert this into chemical compounds such as sugars that feed the tree. But as a by-product of that chemical reaction oxygen is produced and released by the tree. Trees also store carbon dioxide in their fibers. According to the Arbor Day Foundation, in a year ONE mature tree will absorb more than 48 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen in exchange. https://www.usda.gov/media/blog/2015/03/17/power-one-tree-very-air-we-breathe#:~:text=Through%20a%20process%20called%20photosynthesis,and%20released%20by%20the%20tree.

Potential Remedial Measure. See Postscript below.

Arson is the leading cause of fire in the United States. Each year, an estimated 267,000 fires are attributed to arson, which result in $1.4 billion in property loss and cause over 2,000 injuries and 475 deaths. 2 As a result, arson prevention and investigation have become the focus of increased attention within the federal government, the fire service, and the criminal justice system. https://apps.usfa.fema.gov/downloads/pdf/statistics/v1i8-508.pdf

As of August 28, 2024, 48 large active wildfires are being managed with full suppression strategies nationwide. Current wildfires have burned 2,103,454 acres. About 17,000 wildland firefighters and support personnel are assigned to wildfires, including 18 complex and one Type 1 incident management teams, 401 crews, 658 engines, 97 helicopters, and one Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System (MAFFS). Evacuation orders are in effect on seven fires. https://www.nifc.gov/fire-information/nfn

NASA artfully reveals that the atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased, without pointing to the burning of fossil fuels; only "human activity." "Most of the warming occurred in the past 40 years, with the seven most recent years being the warmest. The years 2016 and 2020 are tied for the warmest year on record". Thus they claim that "The Evidence for Rapid Climate Change Is Compelling." Not a word is mentioned about manmade wildfires started by arson between 2016 and 2020, and continuing to this day. Clearly this is a deliberate CYA con job!!! https://science.nasa.gov/climate-change/evidence/ The carbon cycle is the process through which carbon is cycled through the air, ground, plants, animals, and fossil fuels. People and animals inhale oxygen from the air and exhale carbon dioxide (CO2), while plants absorb CO2 for photosynthesis and emit oxygen back into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is also exchanged between the atmosphere and the oceans. This natural system of processes keeps CO2 levels in the atmosphere stable over time. https://netl.doe.gov/carbon-management/carbon-storage/faqs/carbon-dioxide-101

According to the National Park Service, human-caused wildfires account for around 80 to 90 percent of all reported wildfires. https://www.greenmatters.com/p/what-causes-wildfires Wildfires can affect the physical, chemical, and biological quality of streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs. These changes are noticeable for years and even decades after a fire. The first and greatest impact of wildfires is a significant increase in storm water runoff. With the loss of vegetation during a wildfire, the soil becomes hydrophobic (tending to repel or failing to mix with water). Under normal conditions, plant life slows precipitation down once it hits the landscape and lets it gradually seep into the ground. After a fire, foliage-free soil doesn’t absorb water easily. These burn scars increase runoff and provide a pathway for the transport of debris and sediment to rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations from burned foliage run into the water and lead to algal blooms resulting in fluctuations in oxygen or oxygen depletion in downstream waterbodies. Lastly, post-fire flash floods introduce high levels of heavy metals from ash, soils, and geologic sources into waterways. Wildfires can compromise water quality both during active burning, and for months and years after the fire has been contained. https://deq.utah.gov/communication/news/wildfires-impact-on-our-environment#:~:text=Wildfires%20can%20affect%20the%20physical,significant%20increase%20in%20stormwater%20runoff.

Wildfire smoke is a mixture of hazardous air pollutants, such PM2.5, NO2, ozone, aromatic hydrocarbons, or lead. In addition to contaminating the air with toxic pollutants, wildfires also simultaneously impact the weather by releasing large quantities of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. https://www.who.int/health-topics/wildfires#tab=tab_1 Beyond the human and societal impacts, wildfires also affect the Earth's weather. Forests in particular store large amounts of carbon. When they burn, they immediately release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which in turn contributes to climate change. https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicators/climate-change-indicators-wildfires#:~:text=Beyond%20the%20human%20and%20societal,turn%20contributes%20to%20climate%20change.

Tax and Spend Again. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/5376/text). The Inflation Reduction Act invests $369 billion for Energy Security and Climate Change for grants, technical assistance and tools, including carbon labeling, to help manufacturers, institutional buyers, real estate developers, builders and others measure, report and substantially lower the levels of embodied carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions (https://www.epa.gov/inflation-reduction-act/inflation-reduction-act-programs-fight-climate-change-reducing-embodied#:~:text=The%20Inflation%20Reduction%20Act%20invests,and%20other%20greenhouse%20gas%20emissions), see also, Summary of Act, https://www.democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/inflation_reduction_act_one_page_summary.pdf

09/19/2024. The Department of the Interior today announced nearly $1.3 million in awards through a pilot program to strengthen local governments’ wildfire response by converting vehicles to wildland fire engines. Authorized by the President's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Slip-on Tanker Pilot Program is helping small, remote emergency response agencies quickly expand their wildfire response capacity as they continue to face the devastating impacts of climate change, drought and intensifying wildfires. $$$ The funding announced today was awarded to 21 local emergency response agencies in 10 states. The recipients serve communities with a moderate to high wildfire risk, as determined by the Wildfire Risk to Communities tool. Local governments that provide emergency services to areas with a population of 25,000 or less are eligible to receive grants ranging from $10,000 to $200,000. The funding announced today is part of nearly $1.1 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding allocated by Interior since the law’s enactment to address wildfire risk on public and Tribal lands and to better support federal wildland firefighters. A second round of grant opportunities will be announced this fall. https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/biden-harris-administration-awards-nearly-13-million-through-slip-tanker-pilot

A growing body of scientific evidence links wildfire smoke exposure to various health effects. There is evidence of an increase in the risk of both cardiovascular and respiratory-related effects in response to wildfire smoke exposure, particularly as the intensity of wildfire smoke increases. https://www.epa.gov/wildfire-smoke-course/why-wildfire-smoke-health-concern

Exposure to smoke can also increase your risk for long-term (chronic) health effects. People who live in areas with higher fine particulate air pollution and those who breathe air containing fine particles over long periods have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Frequent exposure to smoke even for brief periods can also increase your risk for long-term health effects https://www.health.ny.gov/environmental/outdoors/air/smoke_from_fire.htm#:~:text=Inhaling%20smoke%20for%20a%20short,have%20changes%20in%20heart%20function.

Not only are wildfires happening every summer, but they’re also happening multiple times every summer. These kinds of repeated exposure scenarios are what may lead to diseases like cancer. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) signaling pathway: Dysfunction of this pathway is one of the main cascading events that leads to the development and progression of lymphoma. https://health.ucdavis.edu/news/headlines/exploring-the-link-between-wildfire-smoke-and-cancer-risk/2022/08

Higher levels of a type of air pollution called PM2.5 were linked to a higher number of dementia cases developing over time. The strongest links between pollution and dementia were seen for PM2.5 from agriculture and wildfires. Reducing such exposures might help lower the incidence of dementia. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/air-pollution-linked-dementia-cases#:~:text=Higher%20levels%20of%20a%20type,lower%20the%20incidence%20of%20dementia.

NYC Trump Trial Contrary to Legal Precedents

By David William Jedell, Attorney at Law April 19, 2024

The Bragg case must be dismissed as beyond the Statute of Limitations.

Statute of Limitation for a Felony

No crime is alleged after 2017 and the indictment is dated April 4, 2023, over 6 years later. See, Indictment, https://www.npr.org/2023/04/04/1167708172/trump-charges-hush-money-new-york-indictment. Statute of Limitation for a Felony under NY Law: For felony offenses other than A felonies listed in § 30.10(2)(a), the statute of limitation requires that the “prosecution for any other felony must be commenced within five years after the commission thereof…” See § 30.10(2)(b). "Penal Law § 175.10 Falsifying business records in the first degree: A person is guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree when he commits the crime of falsifying business records in the second degree, and when his intent to defraud includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof. Falsifying business records in the first degree is a class E felony."

Staute of Limitations for a Misdemeanor

Under New York law, CPL § 30.10(2)(a), a “prosecution for a misdemeanor must be commenced within two years after the commission thereof.” "A person is guilty of falsifying business records in the second degree when, with intent to defraud, he: 1. Makes or causes a false entry in the business records of an enterprise; or 2. Alters, erases, obliterates, deletes, removes or destroys a true entry in the business records of an enterprise; or 3. Omits to make a true entry in the business records of an enterprise in violation of a duty to do so which he knows to be imposed upon him by law or by the nature of his position; or 4. Prevents the making of a true entry or causes the omission thereof in the business records of an enterprise.

Falsifying business records in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor." See, https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/175.05 Cuomo COVID-19 Executive Order: any statute of limitations that began to run and did not expire prior to March 20, 2020 will have 228 days added on to it. CPL 30.10(3)(b)…against a public servant, or any other person acting in concert with such public servant at any time during such public servant's service in such office or within five years after the termination of such service; However, the extra 5 years does not apply because PUBLIC SERVANT means any public officer or employee of the state or of any political subdivision thereof or of any governmental instrumentality within the state, or any person exercising the functions of any such public officer or employee. PL 195.00. There has never been a SCOTUS decision holding that a statute of limitations on a state crime is tolled by the term of the President. See, https://www.uclalawreview.org/evaluating-a-proposed-presidential-reform-tolling-statutes-of-limitations/

CPLR 207: Statute of limitations not tolled for period of absence from state when personal jurisdiction was obtainable over defendant through expedient service.

CPLR 207 provides that if, after a cause of action has accrued against a person, he departs from the state and remains continuously absent therefrom for four months or more, the period of his absence is not a part of the time within which the action must be commenced. The plaintiff cannot rely on a CPLR 207 toll, however, if personal jurisdiction could have been obtained despite the defendant's absence from the state.' In Goodemote v. McClain," the defendant left New York for a fourteen-month period eighteen months after she was involved in a New York automobile accident. The Appellate Division, Fourth Department, unanimously held that the statute of limitations was not tolled for the period of her absence from the state because the plaintiff could have obtained personal jurisdiction over the defendant at any time by obtaining an ex parte court order for expedient service under CPLR 308(5). Since the broad discretionary reach of CPLR 308(5) may be utilized whenever there is a jurisdictional basis, this decision should severely curtail the instances of tolls for absence under CPLR 207. See, https://scholarship.law.stjohns.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=2990&context=lawreview

Judicial Bias

Further, Judge Juan Merchan appears to be directly biased against Trump and Republicans as he himself allegedly supported an organization that expressly states it is against both, on its website. “During the 2020 United States presidential election, Judge Juan Merchan supported Joe Biden the Democratic candidate and the Democratic Party, donating 35 dollars as a contribution to Democrats distributed as follows, $15 earmarked for the Biden campaign, $10 earmarked for Progressive Turnout Project and $10 for Stop Republicans, a subsidiary of the previous. See, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Merchan As stated on its website, “Stop Republicans, an accountability campaign of Progressive Turnout Project, is a grassroots-funded effort dedicated to resisting the Republican Party and Donald Trump’s radical right-wing legacy.” See, https://www.turnoutpac.org/stop-republicans/ “Clearly, a judge who cannot be impartial when a particular attorney appears before the judge must disqualify him/herself, and remittal is not available (see 22 NYCRR 100.3[E][1][a][i]; 100.3[F]). However, even when a judge’s disqualification is not mandated by either Judiciary Law §14 or the specific circumstances described in §100.3(E)(1)(a)-(e) of the Rules and the judge believes that he/she can be impartial, if the judge’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned by others, he/she must nonetheless disqualify him/herself, but, in such circumstances, the disqualification is subject to remittal (see 22 NYCRR 100.3[E][1]). Whether a judge’s friendship with an attorney causes a judge’s impartiality reasonably to be questioned depends on the facts of each case.” See, https://www.nycourts.gov/ipjudicialethicsopinions/11-125.htm

Right to a Public Trial

Furthermore, another issue is that Judge Merchan allegedly "frequently use[d] email to communicate with Trump’s defense lawyers and the prosecutors from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office. That’s led to a ballooning set of off-the-book messages that are shielded from the public." See, "How large parts of Trump’s trial are playing out in the shadows," See, https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/21/trump-trial-shadows-court-cases-00153506?cid=apn This may violate the Fifth and Sixth Amendments which, among other things, state "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury,... nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law..."; See, https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-5/ ; and "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a . . . public trial." See, https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/sixth_amendment#:~:text=The%20Sixth%20Amendment%20guarantees%20the,charges%20and%20evidence%20against%20you.

Legal Insufficiency of the Indictment and Violation of Due Process

The following illustrates the insufficiency of the Actual Indictment: (See, Indictment, https://www.npr.org/2023/04/04/1167708172/trump-charges-hush-money-new-york-indictment.)

Regarding Judge Merchan's alleged jury instruction that "election interference is the (uncharged) crime Trump was covering up" and allegedly that "the case is to be referred to as the election interference case": ("The indictment may incorporate the words of the statute to set forth the offense, but the statutory language '"must be accompanied with such a statement of the facts and circumstances as will inform the accused of the specific offense, coming under the general description, with which he is charged."'") (quoting Hamling, 418 U.S. at 117-18 (quoting United States v. Hess, 124 U.S. 483, 487 (1888))); cf. United States v. Nance, 533 F.2d 699, 702 (D.C. Cir. 1976) (noting with approval mail fraud count that specifies misrepresentations); United States v. Curtis, 506 F.2d 985, 990 (10th Cir. 1974) (citations omitted) (dismissing mail fraud indictment that excludes false pretenses). Other uncharged purported crimes that allegedly have been allowed to be argued by the prosecution are: 1. Federal Campaign Finance Crimes; 2. State Campaign Finance Crimes; 3. Conspiracy to promote or prevent an election; 4. A catch-all alternative; and a Catch-and-Kill Scheme. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/04/22/trump-hush-money-criminal-trial/3-catch-and-kill-deals-00153622

The prosecution attempted to remedy the Catch-an-Kill defect in his Statement of Facts dated April 4, 2023, dated the same date as the indictment. See, https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24479174/lawfare-docket-watch-trump-statement-of-facts-supporting-indictment-april-4-2023.pdf

However, "[t]he Supreme Court has instructed that an indictment is sufficient if it contains the elements of the offense charged, fairly informs the defendant of the charges against which he must defend, and enables him to enter a plea without fear of double jeopardy." (citing Hamling v. United States, 418 U.S. 87, 117 (1974)); see also Collins v. Markley, 346 F.2d 230, 232 (7th Cir.) (en banc) ("The sufficiency of an indictment is to be measured by certain guide lines. First, the indictment standing alone must contain the elements of the offense intended to be charged, and it must be sufficient to apprise the accused of the nature of the offense..." In Yefsky, the court held that the indictment was defective in that it did not provide the defendant with adequate notice of the charge (conspiracy to commit mail fraud) against him. 994 F.2d at 993 ("Where guilt depends so crucially upon . . . a specific identification of fact, . . . cases have uniformly held that an indictment must do more than simply repeat the language of the criminal statute.") (citing Hamling, 418 U.S. at 118). In Curtis, the court stated the following in considering the sufficiency of the allegations contained in an indictment charging mail fraud) (what the actual Trump indictment says on this issue, inter alia, is "The defendant, in the County of New York and elsewhere, on or about June 19, 2017, with intent to defraud and intent to commit another crime and aid and conceal the commission thereof, made and caused a false entry in the business records of an enterprise" p. 6:

United States v. Adamo, 534 F.2d 31, 35 (3d Cir.) ("The Curtis indictment was so vague that trial might have proceeded upon an entirely different concept of the scheme than that contemplated by the grand jury when it returned the indictment. By contrast, the indictment in this case explicitly outlines the elements of the fraudulent plan."), cert. denied, 429 U.S. 841 (1976). https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual-971-sufficiency-indictment-generally#:~:text=(en%20banc)%20(%22The,the%20nature%20of%20the%20offense."

Combining this lack of notice and the Merchan court's alleged mandated 24 hours to submit all evidence after the judge informed the jury that this case would be called "election interference case" appear to combine to deprive Trump of Constitutional rights to Due Process and the right to a 5th and 6th Amendments Grand Jury indictment with particulars noticed. Subsequently, during the trial weeks after commencement, for the first time, Judge Merchan allegedly informed the Trump defense that D.A. Alvin Bragg was alleging that the alleged crime that was being covered up, but not alleged in the indictment, was Election Law § 17-152. "Conspiracy to promote or prevent election. Any two or more persons who conspire to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means and which conspiracy is acted upon by one or more of the parties thereto, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor." Fundamental Due Process requires prior notice and an opportunity to be heard. This hardly seems to comply.

Probably Unconstitutional Jury Instructions

Here are the probable unconstitutional jury instructions used by the judge, telling the jury to decide amongst a number of uncharged crimes and without unanimous consent on any one of them! https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24699534-trump-ny-criminal-trial-jury-instructions?embed=true&responsive=false&sidebar=false

Trump sentencing delayed until after November election. Judge Merchan also postponed consideration on whether to overturn the criminal conviction in light of a recent Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity and other evidence. That hearing is now set for Nov. 12. Prosecutors working for District Attorney Alvin Bragg did not oppose Trump’s request for a sentencing delay. Instead, they said they would defer to Merchan’s discretion, and they acknowledged the potential for the immunity issue to complicate the process. (https://www.politico.com/news/2024/09/06/trump-trial-sentencing-hush-money-00177749?cid=apn). ORDERED, that decision on Defendant's CPL $ 330.30 motion to set aside the jury verdict and to dismiss the indictment will be handed down off-calendar on November 12, 2024; and rt is further ORDERIID, that sentencing on this matter, if necessary, is adjourncd to November 26,2024, at 10am.

Opinion From Logical Deduction: There is NO "Time" In and of Itself. It is Always Now; Everywhere. Now is Space and Space is Now

By David William Jedell Updated January 4, 2025

“It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” - Mark Twain.

The Peer Review "Requirement" is Simply a Constraint on Innovative Discoveries Not Understood by the Store-Bought Science Collective in Order to Monopolize True Scientific Thought in the Hands of the Military Industrial Complex

Neuroscience sheds light on brain mechanisms underlying exceptional creativity: A new study sheds light on how highly creative individuals, such as visual artists and scientists, may have brains that function differently compared to others. The research, published in Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts, reveals that people who exhibit exceptional creativity—referred to as “Big C” creative individuals—demonstrate more random patterns of connectivity in their brains. By using functional MRI (fMRI) technology, the researchers observed that highly creative brains bypass typical neural hubs, making distant connections between different regions of the brain more quickly and efficiently. These individuals are not only distinguished by their high levels of creative achievement but also by their ability to think in novel and non-linear ways.

Why does such an obvious concept remain undiscovered since consciousness developed? Immanuel Kant insufficiently tackled the question of "Time", along with other very famous philosphers and physicists. Thus, it is a very important topic, however neither Kant nor anybody else has seen the simple truth that Time in and of itself does not exist, although they provide sophistries to beguile their readers with imagined and irrelevant fallacious thoughts. The facts are as follows: It is always Now. If physicists, mathematicians and other scientists would accept this obvious fact, and disregard scientific propaganda and the peer review "requirement", we would approach a better understanding of everything. I challenge anyone to refute this paper.

We exist in our local Space point reference (spacial area where changes in object, energy and wave position are within our conscious sensory perception). The delusion of Time construct follows as a result of our single point reference on earth, giving rise to the conscious inference of Past, Now and Future. Have you ever woken up when it was not Now? The ticks of a watch are only made by gears that are coordinated with a fraction of the earth's rotation we call a "second." It is not keeping track of "Time." It is keeping track of the relation of two motions. The "speed" of these motions are not inherent in Time as a thing in and of itself, but rather, in the ratio of the distance the object travels to an arbitrary fraction of the earth's cyclical rotation as a constant (i.e., the ratio of one to 24, or an "hour"). Space and Now are the same thing. It is only consciousness that creates the delusion of Time; without it the Earth would exist in eternity. However, the universe would actually not "exist" at all without consciousness because existence is strictly a conscious construct.

When there is an event, like a collision of two objects in front of us, we store it in memory. When that event has moved out of our local Space, and there is another event in an ordered sequence, we delude ourselves into believing that the conscious perception of the first sequentially ordered event happened in the "past," as a result of the fact that the event is no longer generating sensory impulses (i.e., you no longer see it in front of you). However that event and its energies still continue in their effects in Space that is non-local. Since our conscious mind can review the perceptions of memory and the lack of the same immediate sensory perceptions simultaneously occurring (i.e., you don't see it anymore), the mental construct is created that there is a past and a present. This is not factual but flawed. As far as the "future," the motions and coincidences in "events" (i.e., the paths of two objects colliding) have not occurred in our local Space reference. The future can only be imagined, predicted or hoped for, but if the future did exist, it would be in our local Space. There are motions of matter and a sensory "observer" however Space is always Now and Now is always Space. So-called "Time Dilations" in relativistic physics are at best accelerations of momentum within Now.

However, Einstein doesn't apply his own postulate that all inertial frames are equivalent. So, the observer on the spaceship sees the clock on earth going slower while the observer on earth sees the clock on the spaceship going slower at the exact same rate. Since all inertial frames are equal, when the two observers are joined back together, the number of clicks of their clocks are physically the same, and the displacement of each clock from the other is zero. Otherwise, the observer on the space ship would see the earth spinning like a top, and the spaceship would be a "privileged" frame of reference which Special Relativity does not allow.

Moreover, in accordance with Einstein's Special Relativity, light always moves in a straight line. In his famous thought experiment, the light leaves the emitter and heads straight up towards the receiver at an angle. This is impossible. Actually, the beam must be moving straight up and down. It is the spaceship that is moving, that's all, and in the opposite direction, the "proper" frame is also "moving." Clocks are not "Time" itself, but rather, they measure and compare relative motions. The use of light, with its constant speed in all reference frames, to measure the rate of clicks, is simply a convenient way to exactly compare the so-called proper frame number of clicks with the relativistic frame number of clicks..

The slowing or red shifting of light moving away from an object near the event horizon of a black hole (or dark neutron star) is just that; the slowing of photons in the grasp of strong gravity continuing in Space-Now. There is no evidence of Time slowing down or even existing in and of itself.

A major obstacle to the general acceptance of the fact that Time is a mathematical convenience or tool to compare relative motions in everyday life, and not a thing in and of itself, is that languages, such as English, are pervaded with words that express Time as a thing in and of itself, such as "happened," "was," "yesterday," tomorrow," and many other expressions of past and future tenses. Calendars, clocks and appointments are other obstacles to the comprehension of Space. Attributing a dimension to Time is analogous to attributing a dimension to a 12 inch ruler and calling it distance. In the same way clocks are not time itself. Moreover, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis states that the grammatical and verbal structure of a person’s language influences how they perceive the world. It emphasizes that language either determines or influences one’s thoughts. https://thejedellreport.blogspot.com/2022/05/roe-v-wade-getting-worked-up-over.html

Hypothetical Thought Experiment

Instead of trying to think this out with our flawed verbal language system, try to think in a spacial way of what is actually happening. Here is a simple example of spacial comprehension of this; a thought experiment. A jet liner located on the equator takes off due west. When it reaches 35,000 feet it is traveling 1,000 mph ground speed. The pilot has only a sun dial in front of the cockpit that he can see from inside. Nobody on the plane has a clock or watch. The sun dial shadow indicates it is 3pm upon reaching 35,000 feet. The sun can be seen high above. Subsequent to the plane traveling 6,000 miles, the sun dial is in the same 3pm position and the sun hasn't moved. Its still high in the sky. The pilot and everyone on the plane think that time has stopped during the flight. They even confirm this assessment when they land and take a few minutes to walk into the airport. All the clocks on the walls and all the people's watches indicate 3:05pm.

On the ground at the airport that the plane departed from, the ground crew personnel look at their watches and see that they indicate 9pm. It is also night, the stars are shining. They compare their memory of a sunny day with the present sensory input of night and no sun. They construct the delusion of time. Whereas the pilot and passengers have current sensory input of a shining sun and a sun dial that has not moved during the flight. Finally, the pilot and passengers are informed that they are moving through Space from one area of Space to another, and that they passed 6 "Established Time Zones." The pilot and passengers accept this explanation after some thought. But the ground crew believe that it is 9pm and that 6 hours of "Time" have passed because the hands of their watches moved and the sun set and it is night. The crew holds on to delusion like people did when the earth was flat and the earth was the center of the universe, rejecting Columbus and Copernicus on his death bed, and burning Guido at the stake for heresy.

There can be no "Time Travel" without Time, and the "Arrow of Time" can just as easily be reversed with no real difference, i.e., that "Time" moves from the future to the past or moves from past to future. Theoreticallyt, in order to travel into the "Past", all cause and effect vectors would have to be reversed, and it would take 150 years to go back 150 years. However, this cannot be done. Neither can travelling to the "future" because it would rquire an increase in momentum of all vectors of momentum, which cannot be done.

Furthermore, entropy is not only a flawed concept (i.e., the egg was a jumble of particles before it was neatly assembled into an egg, then dropped into a chaotic mess), but is does not prove the existence of time. Einstein's light cone (see illustratio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/). File:World_line.svg, in so far as it represents space, is a correct structure with a false premise, i.e., that at the top is "Time" in the "future" moving down to the center which is "Time" in "the present" then lower which is "Time" in the "past." Actually, the top is filled with events whose momentum has not sequenced into our sensory space. The center is our sensory space, and the bottom is where momentum has moved from our sensory space to outside our sensory space. All in NOW! We can account for the entire universe without the delusion of "Time" in and of itself.

My Opinion: The Fact That Light Travels Fast Does Not Necessarily Prove The Existence of Time

Rather than a light cone, it is more accurate to depict a circle representing your conscious area of sensory perception. Arrows outside of the circle pointed inward to the circle represent sequentially separated momentum or events that have not effected your perception but are poised to do so. See, https://www.dreamstime.com/illustration/arrows-pointing-to-circle-middle.html

Arrows inside the circle (or sphere) pointed outward are events or momentum that affect your perception but are moving away. See Illustrations, https://www.istockphoto.com/vector/arrows-outwards-circle-round-shape-vector-illustration-gm1473703846-503768100

A sequence does not depend on "Time", i.e., the sequence 1,2,3 will always be 1,2,3 no matter how much the earth has rotated or revolved. Thus a sequence is time independent.
