The CIA On Time Travel

[Finspiracy]

As cool as time travel would be (me personally, I'd go straight for the cretaceous period and check out some dinosaurs....or maybe get some front row seats to the battle of Thermopylae....or see who really killed JFK....too many choices, I'd probably just be unable to decide)  I just can't reconcile how it would be possible.  Is time a tangible thing that can be traversed, is it even linear?  Is it just a man made unit for structuring out the days and years?  It's basically trying to traverse existence, can't get my mind around it.  Guess that's why I'm not a physicist.

No, time is not linear. Everything that ever was, or ever will be, IS, right now. All instants exist in this instant, It's not a matter of "traveling through time" - that is a linear concept that conceives of time as being linear.

What you have to do is tune your "self", the non-physical part of "you" that makes you uniquely you, to be in phase with the instants you wish to observe. That's tougher than it sounds, and it sounds pretty tough.

I compare it to frames on a film reel. The entire reel exists all at once, and every frame on it exists, all frames at the same time. It's a matter of tuning in to the specific frame you want to view.

THIS! There it is. I don't even have to write my own reply this time.

But i just wanted to let you know that i have seen a comparison to a book. It is the same thing as your film reel and frames, but with a book and it's pages.
