The Zero Time Universe: A Review of its originV.L.Pai

([email protected])

Abstract:For almost a span of six decades, the theory of the Big Bang has been the

scientifically accepted model to explain the origin of the universe. Further, this theory hasbeen supported by enormous amount of practical data. Hence, any person thinking in a

scientific way is bound to believe that, the theory of the Big Bang is the ultimate reality

to explain the phenomenon of the universe. Rigorous attempts are being made toaccurately calculate the age of the universe or to arrive at the exact number of years since

the event of the Big Bang. But, the greatest mystery of the theory is the actual occurrence

of the event of the Big Bang itself. By all means the event of the Big Bang is an

imaginary product of reverse calculations from the present state of affairs of the universe.In most of the texts which we read, generally the age of the universe has been estimated

to be somewhere between 10 to 20 billion years (1)(2). The most interesting aspect to benoted in all these calculations is the earth time, which has been used as the absoluteparameter for calculating the age of the universe. How far all these calculations based on

the parameter earth timeare really true can be revealed by a critical analysis of timeas a

concept in the minds of every one of us.The aim of this article is to focus on hitherto neglected aspect of relating the human

mind with the planetary conditions of our existence. A differential analysis of how a

human mind can think in different ways in different planetary living conditions and

during the times of high velocity interstellar travel leads to the conclusion that, theparameter earth time is not at all an absolute parameter within the universe and hence,

cannot be used to calculate the age of the universe. The essence of the universe lies in

creating an illusionary timed state within a timeless state or the zero time state of itsexistence.

I Basics: Concept ofTime - as related to the human mind

This article is based on extensive theoretical visualization of the state of feelings withina human mind and the different conditions of our existence. This is an approach largely

based on theoretical visualization concepts and not a mathematical modeling of the

universe.

Time is a concept in the minds of every living organism in the universe. It is a fused

entity, associated with every living organism in the universe, without which the mind ofany living organism or the humans becomes non functional. (Whenever the word mind

is used in this article, it implies to the biological human brain. The psychologicalsensation of what we feel in our brain can be interpreted as the mind.) We are born with

time, we live with time, and we age with time. Without the concept of time, there is nolife in the universe. Hence, timeis one of the basic ingredients required for existence of

life in the universe. Always the mind of every living organism in the universe exists in

the present mode of time.The past mode of time is the memory backup in the mind of


2/13

every living organism in the universe and the future mode of timeare the events, which

are yet to happen in the universe or which we are yet to come across. So, past is ahappening, which gets accumulated in the human memory, present is something, which is

happening right in front of our eyes and future, is something, which is yet to happen, or

we are yet to come across.

It may be little boring to go through the above lines as every sensible person is

fully aware of these things and there is nothing new in the explanations mentioned above.

But the very objective of writing this article is to explore a new concept of time, whichwe are not exposed to. The objective definition of this article is to arrive at a new concept

of time, which is known as Zero Time. So, it is very essential to start with too trivial

concepts within which we are living, so that a gradual understanding of the new conceptarrives in the mind of the reader. Hence, an elaboration is done on the simple facts, to

which we generally do not attach much importance in our day today life. A careful

attempt is done to make the new concept as simple as possible.

At any moment of time, our mind is in the present mode or the other way ofdefining the state of our mind is that we live in the present always. With reference to the

present, the past and the future can be defined. Hence the past and the future modes ofany event or occurring are linked to the present. This phenomenon is like unrolling of a

carpet or a film reel. The basic reference point for the past or the future event lies always

in the present. The operational guidance for the human mind in its present mode isgoverned by the past, which is generally accumulated in the form of a human memory.

Memory is again a variable, which changes from person to person. Some people are

gifted with a very good memory whereas some people may have a poor memory. Butevery person has a definite memory backup in the mind without which he/she is

nonfunctional. It is just not possible to live in this world without a memory backup withinour minds. Whether a strong or a weak memory, we must need a memory in our minds.

So, the past and the present state of the mind are always clear. Present is fully in front of

us in the form of events which are happening right in front of our eyes and past as abackup whether strong or weak which keeps getting updated as present unrolls into the

future. Invariably all the three feelings of the human mind coexist and every human mind

works towards the future after a calculated analysis of the past as a memory. Hence,

without the concepts of the past, the present and the future, the life cycle of a humanbeing is incomplete. In other words, we exist in this world because a definite concept of

the past, the present and the future exists around us.

The most important factor, which is associated with any human mind, is the link,

which exists between the planetary motion in the solar system and the feelings of the

past, the present, and the future, which are governing our lives. The capability limitationsof the human mind or its visualization potential have a definite link with the planetary

motion in the universe. It appears to be a strange statement, unless and otherwise a

careful thought is applied to understand the link between our existence and the planetarymotion. Now, consider the fact that a definite concept of timeexists on the earth, because

of its planetary motion. We have a clear definition of a day and a night because of the

earths rotation around its own axis with a consistent speed. Hence, the basic unit of time


3/13

3

is originated relative to the earths rotation around its own axis. Our biological clock is

invariably fused to this motion and this is the basic ingredient of our life or the basicfoundation for the operating system of the human mind. A definite time clockis fused in

our minds because of this planetary motion. Knowingly or unknowingly we are operating

or living in this world, with this as a fundamental link for our existence. Right from the

time of our birth in this planet we are continuously living with this link. Quite similar toany other fundamental and biological requirements for existence of life, like, oxygen,

water and food, we need the basic unit of timefused deep in our minds as the operating

time clock to live and operate in this world. Without the concept of time there is nocontinuum in the process of life. All human activities are based on the fundamental

yardstick known as time.

Further, the simple fact is that, the time period for a single rotation of the earth is

split into smaller fractions of hours, minutes and seconds. These are the smaller fractions

of the unit of time, which only enable us to plan our day today life and existence. Ourminds are invariably fused to these units of time and all our activities and happenings are

definitely related to these units of time.

II Concept of Timewith a change in the status of the planetary motion:

Without the planetary motion of the earth, there is no feeling of time. In that case the

very concept of timedisappears around us. Consider a strange situation when the earthdoes not rotate around its own axis. This is a totally non-practical situation, but an

imagination like this is being done to visualize the eventual happenings in this condition

where the concept of timehas to be redefined. Now, in this kind of a situation where theearth does not rotate around its own axis, there can be two different types of living

conditions. One half of the earth continuously faces the sun and the other half of the earthis continuously away from the sun. In other words, on one half of the earth it is always a

day and on the other half of the earth it is always a night. Whether life can exist or not in

this kind of a situation, due to lack of other life support parameters is a secondary issue.An assumption like this is done at this juncture to visualize the difference in the line of

thinking that can originate in the human mind with a change in the status of the planetary

motion, which imparts a definite time clock to the human mind. As our minds are

permanently fused to the time clockimparted to us by the planetary motion of the earth,we always tend to feel that whatever happens in front of our eyes is only the truth or the

reality. But, we generally do not think of the range of this reality. Anything, or any event,

which is logical within the range of our reality, may not be logical beyond the range ofour reality. The visualization of what occurs in the mind of a person living beyond the

range of our reality is unknown. Hence, a visualization of a non rotating planet is done to

explore the exact difference between the understanding potential of the human mind inthe present situation and the understanding potential in the changed situation where the

earth does not rotate around its axis.

Now, consider the first case where one half of the earth always faces the sun and it is

continuously a day. Further, let us imagine that a person is living in this kind of a

situation. Here, the position of the sun with reference to the earth is always fixed or the


4/13

sun is always overhead. It is always a day for the person living in this situation. The day

is continuous and never-ending. The concept or the practical occurrence of a night cannever happen in this situation as the earth does not rotate and there wont be any

beginning or end for the day. This day is always a day or an eternal day. Then, where is

the provision for unit of time, when the day never ends? There wont be any months or

the years to count upon. Even, there wont be any seconds, minutes or hours to count andrecord the activities of the person. The very concept of timedisappears from the mind of

the person who is living in this kind of a situation. The concept of the past, the present

and the future do not exist in the mind of the person. Simply, there is no provision tovisualize the past, the present or the future because the time clocksimply disappears from

the mind of the person. The person always exists in a state of an eternal present. All

activities seem to be happening in the state of present whether they have alreadyhappened or are going to happen. The concept of the past, the present and the future fuse

themselves into a single entity known as the present. The words, yesterday and tomorrow

will not be having any meaning in the mind of the person existing in this kind of asituation. Every thing and every activity is recorded in the continuous state of existence

known as the present. The concept of time gets totally erased from the mind of theperson. There wont be any universal objects or moving reference points in the view of

the person, which he can relate to visualize the past or the future. Further, the person mayvisualize light as stationary or a flux like, than a traveling medium.

Eventhough, a situation like this is totally impractical, we need to imagine asituation like this to understand the further concepts, which are narrated in this article.

The concept of time can originate in the mind of the person living in this kind of a

situation only if a universal object exists in front of him, which is executing a periodicmotion. He can relate the activities happening in his world with the periodic motion of

the universal object such as the sun or the moon. The very objective of visualizing thiscondition of life is to understand the importance of the link, which every living organism

has got with the planetary motion of the earth. In the kind of the situation imagined here,

where any person is living on the face of the planet, which always faces the sun, all theobservations of the person are going to be totally different from the observations or

visualizations of any person living under normal conditions on this planet. What we

conclude about any event or any happening may be totally different from what the person

as imagined in the above said situation may conclude. As the basic or the fundamentalyardstick of time is different for persons in both the situations, the understanding

potential of persons in both the situations differs widely. What is true in one situation can

be totally untrue in the other situation. What we feel as perfectly normal and scientificmay be treated as totally untrue in the imaginary situation and vice versa.

For example, imagine two persons P1 and P2, where P1 is living under normalplanetary conditions and P2 is living under the condition where the earth does not rotate.

P1 relates all the events happening around him with reference to the date and time of the

event. Consider that P1 records all the activities which he does from January toDecember of any year, datewise. Then, all the activities are sequenced with reference to

the date and time of their happening. Consider that 5 events take place on 1stJanuary, 7


5/13

5

events on 2nd

January, 12 events on 3rd

January, and so on. Then the events can be

tabulated as below.

Year Month Day Events

2010 M1 D1 E1,E2, E3, E4 ,E52010 M1 D2 E1,E2 E3,E4,E5,E6,E7

2010 M1 D3 E1,E2,E3,E4,E5,E6,E7,E8,E9,E10,E11,E12

Here M1 stands for January (M1 to M12 for January to December), D1, D2, D3 stand for

the day of the month and E1, E2, E3. stand for the events of any particular day. All the

events of P1 for the particular year can be tabulated in this sequence.

Further, the start time of each of events for a particular day can be recorded as t1,t2,t3

for events E1,E2,E3. of any particular day D1 to D31 for months M1 to M12

Now, consider that a total of 5000 events happen during the year for P1. Then each of theevents has a definite time based reference slot by which all the events can be sorted in a

sequence. The first reference level for any event are t1,t2.. The second reference levelD1, D2 The third reference level M1, M2.. for the particular year.

Imagine that the same number of the events happen exactly in the same sequence for theperson P2 living in the imaginary condition where the planet does not rotate around its

axis. In this case, as observed by P2, the events cannot be sorted out by any reference

levels. All reference levels based on earth time readings disappear in this situation. All

the parameters t1,t2 ; D1 D31 and M1M12 disappear in a single time frame zt,a time slot which will be later referred as zero time where all time frames collide into a

void which cannot be quantified by the person P1. Whereas for the person P2 all theevents can be only be sequenced as E1, E2, E3E5000. Further as all the eventspileup in a common time slot ztand this time slot has no meaning for him as it is a mere

constant and not a variable anymore for sequencing or sorting out the events. Any event

happening around him can only be referred to as an event which happened between thepredecessive and successive events of the particular event. For example the event no

E300 can be referred as an event happened between E299 and E301. All the events occur

in a situation which is free from the variable earth time. This situation is perfectly validfor the person P2. But, the person P1 can never imagine this as the absolute reality for P2.

In the case of P1 who lives on the normal earth, the capabilities to visualize the events

around him are directly linked to the basic operating unit of time, which is imparted bythe planetary motion of the earth. In this case all the 5000 events happen sequentially

with earth time providing a reference slot for each event. The existence of the link with

earth time induces P1 the sensation that the activities happen over a period of year. Whereas in the case of P2 as the person is living on the face of the earth which is de-

linked from of earth time, his mind is in turn linked to a state of zero timezt which

technically induces a sensation of timelessness in his mind. All the 5000 activities happen

concurrently as the variable time ceases to exist in such a situation. As the concept of


6/13

6

time ceases to exist, the velocity of all the traveling bodies will be infinity. P2 can

measure a distance in our units of measurement. But as the time required to travel is

zero, the factor velocity attains a value of infinity and is not a variable anymore in these

circumstances of existence.

III Big Bang in a situation of Zero Timeexistence:

The Big Bang theory has been derived based on the fact that the universe is graduallyexpanding. This is clearly valid as the facts are universal and a clear motion of the

galaxies is derived on the basis of red shifts (1)(2) in their spectral patterns. As per the

concept of the Big Bang, around 10 to 20 billion years back all the matter in the universewas concentrated at a single point (1)(2) The cataclysmic explosion of the Big Bang is

the starting point or the beginning ofspaceand time. This concept is derived from reverse

calculation of the state of affairs of the present universe. It is quite natural to concludelike this as our state of mind can actually observe the facts on which the theory is based.

Now, consider the case of a person P2 who is living in an imaginary situation as

explained earlier where the planet is non-rotating. If the theory of Big Bang is presentedto him, what is going to be his reaction? Can he ever accept this as the absolute truth of

the universe? The answer is never. When the concept of timegets totally erased from the

mind of the person living in such a condition, where is the question of beginning? Thereis neither any beginning nor any end. Life is always a continuous affair and the very

thought of past or the beginning cannot occur in the mind of this person. The person

tends to visualize that the universe is always static or a constant which never changes. Asthe mind of P2 is linked to thezero time zt statehe visualizes that all the events in the

universe happen concurrently and timeis an irrelevant parameter within the universe.

All the events happening around the person in such a living condition are quite

similar to the events occurring in our dreams. Consider the case of a person who dreamsduring sleep. When the person wakes up from sleep, it is extremely difficult for the

person to recollect the time durationof the dreaming period. All the events which he has

observed during a dream, even though they are sequential in nature, cannot be quantified

in terms of a real time yardstick known as time. For example, consider that a persondreams of an event where he goes to a supermarket and purchases some groceries. In a

real life situation, if the person goes to a supermarket and purchases some groceries, then

there is a definite time durationrequired for this event. Imagine this time durationas onehour. After this event of marketing is over, the person can quantify this event as the one

happened during a span of one hour. But if the same event occurs in a dream, in that case

the person cannot quantify this as an event with a real life yardstick of time. So, if anyperson is dreaming, the actual time period of the events happened in a dream cannot be

recollected. The events happen in a state of flux where the yardstick for measurement of

time is missing. The word time has no meaning within a dream. After waking up, theperson can sequence all the events happened in a dream and calculate the actual time

required for such events in reality and know the total time durationfor such an event in

real life based on his experience. This quantification of time is based on the previous


7/13

7

experience of the conscious mind* of the person. (*In this case analysis, the alert mode of

the human brain which is active when the person is awake, is referred as the consciousmind and the biologically active, passive mode of the brain which is always functional

even during the sleep is referred as the subconscious mind.) But in the actual process of

dreaming, the scale for quantification of time is absolute zero. All the activities and

events seem to occur in a state of flux where the concept of time does not exist. Anactivity or an event, which can occupy a real time scale of a year or a month, can be

squeezed into azero time scale in a dream. All events seem to be happening concurrently

as in the case of the person P2 on the imaginary planetary condition of existence.

At this juncture a brief review is required regarding the phenomenon of sleep and

the states of the human mind. The human mind has roughly two different states. Theconscious mind and the subconscious mind. Generally, in a sleep the conscious mind of a

person is at rest. Only, the subconscious mind of the person is active. All the activities

and events of the person occurring in real life are completely controlled by the consciousmind. The subconscious mind only monitors the situation. The conscious mind has a

definite yardstick of timefused into it, which is basically required as a reference for all itsactivities. Generally, when we are awake and carrying on with our day today work the

conscious mind is fully active. The conscious mind of any person rests only in a state ofsleep. During the process of sleep, the subconscious mind of the person is active. The

most interesting feature of the subconscious mind is that, it can operate without a fused

yardstick of time within itself. It is always independent of time. Time is not the basicparameter required for its existence and operation. The very concept of time does not

have any meaning for the subconscious mind. All the events that we observe in a dream

are the ones occurring in ones subconscious mind and hence are not time related.Probably, this is the main reason for difficulty in quantifying the time duration of

activities happening in a dream. An event, which requires a relatively large time period inreal life, can be squeezed into a very short time period in a dream.

It is generally observed that sleep has two phases. Non REM sleep (NREM) andREM sleep (3). Dreams generally occur in a REM state of sleep. Here the word REM

means Rapid eye movement. The NREM state of sleep is further divided into four sub

stages(3). In all these stages the conscious mind is at rest. Movement of eyeballs below

the closed eyelids of the person cannot be observed in NREM state of the sleep. In thenext phase of sleep referred as REM sleep, the person actually dreams. During this time

period rapid flickering of eyeballs can be noticed below the closed eyelids of the

dreamer. A sleeping person undergoes NREM and REM phases of sleep in cycles of 70-90 minutes of NREM followed by 10-20 minutes of REM(3) This sequence NREM and

REM repeats throughout the night. Roughly this is the mechanism of sleep which all of

us undergo every night. The elaboration on the mechanism of sleep and dreams is beingdone at this juncture only to elaborate on the concept of zero time or atimeless stateof

happenings.

Now, consider an example, where a physician is monitoring a sleeping person

experiencing a dream using an EEG (Electroencephalograph). In this case, the physician

can monitor the time durationof the dream. Consider that the person is dreaming of an


8/13

8

event where he is flying from Tokyo to Moscow. In a real life situation, this event can

stretch over a period of a few hours. Whereas in the dream, the entire sequences of thisevent gets completed hardly within a few minutes. This can be clearly monitored by the

physician. But, for the person who is actually dreaming, the time elapsed during the

dream does not have a clear timeduration. The entire event occurs in a state ofzero time,

where time is a meaningless parameter for any activity. The reason for this is, for thesubconscious mind timeis not a relevant parameter for any activity. An event, which can

spread over a period of many hours in real life, can get squeezed into a timelessstate or

thezero time state. This is only a theoretical analysis and not based on actual studies.

For the conscious mind timeis a prerequisite parameter to function in the normal

condition. Without the parameter of timeour minds cannot function. When we are awake,our conscious mind is fully alert and is perfectly synchronized with the earth time.All

our activities happen in a situation where the yardstick of time is inbuilt in our minds.

Once we go to bed and gradually fall asleep our conscious mind rests. In this kind of asituation the conscious mind gets de-synchronized from the earth time. We tend to loose

the concept of time as our conscious mind rests. During the period of sleep when theconscious mind is at rest, only the subconscious mind is active. Upon getting up from a

deep sleep, the first thing our conscious mind tries to do is, to regain the lost link ofsynchronization with the earth time. This is the precise reason why; the first thing we do

on waking up from sleep is to look at the clock or the wristwatch to get synchronized

with the earth time. This phenomenon is like a car moving off the highway, running overopen land for a short distance and then again trying to come back on to the highway. In

this process the car tries to regain its lost track.

For the conscious mind no activity is possible without the synchronized link with

the earth time. In a civilized world, where we are used to wristwatches and clockseverywhere around us, our tendency is to get synchronized with the earth time quite

frequently by looking at wristwatches and clocks. This phenomenon happens with every

one of us many times a day whether knowingly or unknowingly. This activity of gettingsynchronized with the earth timehappens with every one of us throughout our life times.

Hence, the synchronization of the conscious mind with the earth time is absolutely

essential for governing the day-to-day activities throughout our lifetime. As this process

is invariably inbuilt in our minds and bodies we do not tend to attach much significanceto this activity.

Now, in the case of an imaginary person P1 living on the surface of a planetwhich is always facing the sun, all the events around him seem to occur in a zero time or

atimeless state of the mind. In this kind of a situation, the conscious mind of the person

behaves like our subconscious mind, which is not linked to the earth time. All activitiesand events occurring around such a person seem to occur concurrently in a state of flux,

without a clear time barrierbetween the activities. The past, the present and the future

collide into a single entity ofzero time. The very word timecarries no meaning for such aperson. This is quite similar to the situation occurring while we are dreaming, when our

subconscious mind is active, which does not have a requirement of synchronized link

with the earth time.

Within any person, the conscious mind and the subconscious mind co exist in a stateof mutually contradicting realities. What is reality for the subconscious mind need not be

a reality for the conscious mind. For example, when we are dreaming, the dream is a

reality for our subconscious mind. But, upon waking up from sleep, we quickly brush off

the dream from our minds as an illusion, because the conscious mind takes over thecharge of our decision making function. For the conscious mind dream is only an illusion.

The contradiction in conclusions between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind

within a person is due to the fact that, each operates on a different timescale. Consciousmind, when it is alert and fully active, always needs a synchronized link with the earth

time. Any activity or any event, which is not related to the earth time, has no meaning for

the conscious mind. This is the general state of existence when we are awake. During oursleep our conscious mind rests and also gets briefly de-synchronized from the earthtime.

During this period the subconscious mind is fully active and generally takes over the

decision making function. For the subconscious mind events in a dream are a reality. Thisis because the subconscious mind does not have any prerequisite of a synchronized link

with the earth time. It can always operate independent of the earth time. An event, whichcan happen over a long period of earth time, can happen in a state of zero time for the

subconscious mind. Hence, always there is a contradiction in conclusions between theconscious and the subconscious minds within any person.

Generally the events occurring in any persons dreams need not be true in reality.They are only the illusions, which occur when we sleep. But, the example of dreams was

chosen only to explain the phenomenon ofzero time or thetimelessstate of affairs, which

occur, on a non-rotating planet.

Now, consider the second case, which can arise on the other half of the non-rotating planet, which is always away from the sun. Here it is always a night or a never-

ending night. Now, imagine that a person P3 is living in this kind of a situation. In this

case the ground level realities of the person are quite similar to the ones happening on theother side of the planet, except for the fact that all the activities are nocturnal. All the

observations of the imaginary person are going to be similar in nature without a clear

time gapbetween the events. Also, as the person happens to live in a state of an eternal

night, a day is always mystery for such a person or rather it is a myth. But, still as allother living conditions are quite similar, all activities happen in a state ofzero time, but in

an eternal night. But, when the person looks at the cosmos, he can clearly see the stars

and galaxies like what we see at night.

Now, consider what happens if the theory of the Big Bang is presented to P3?

What is going to be his reaction? Probably, he will accept this as a fact and partially agreewith this theory. He can clearly observe the red shifts in the spectral patterns of the

distant galaxies and conclude that, the theory is trustworthy. Generally, the observations

of the universe from such a situation are going to be quite similar to the earth basedobservations, except for the fact that, they are happening in a state of a continuous night.

The person can observe that the galaxies are speeding away from him or his planet. But,

the strange factor in this kind of a situation is that, the factor known as timedoes not exist


10/13

for any calculation. The word timeis always a meaningless word for such a person. The

movement of galaxies derived on the basis of red shifts of their spectral pattern is goingto be an accepted fact, but always de-linked from the factor known as time. Our

observations from the earth are always earth time related. Whereas the observations of

the imaginary person in this case are quite similar but zero time related. The other

possibility is that, such a person can have a dilated unit of time,based on the observationsof relative shift in the position of stars as the planet revolves around the sun on a yearly

basis. Here the assumption is that the planet is revolving around the sun with one side

always away from the sun. In that case, what is one year for us gets transformed into onebasic unit of time for the imaginary person. Then all his calculations will be based on this

dilated unit of time.

IV ZeroTimeConcept during high velocity interstellar travel:

As visualized in the case of a non rotating planet where the events are taking placeunder a state of zero time, Similar is the situation incase of high velocity interstellar

travel. For an imaginary interstellar traveler at speeds nearing the speed of light, timeis no more a basic ingredient of life, during his travel. Yesterday, today and tomorrow are

the meaningless words in his life during this travel. All events seem to happenconcurrently or at a very rapid interval of time slot between the events, which his mind

cannot easily observe. As the earth time rapidly shrinks towards the state of zero time

things start changing in his observations of events. Further, there are two basic factorsinvolved in the state of affairs of an interstellar traveler. One is his physical aspect and

the other is the psychological aspect. During the period of travel as earth timeshrinks in

his mind, his psychological age slows down. What exactly happens to his biologicalstructure is somewhat a mystery. Whether such a travel leads towards a retarded

biological ageing, is to be confirmed with a practical experimentation. But, the mostimportant factor in the psychological aspects of such a person is, he is no more linked to

the earth time. He is totally de-synchronized from the earth time. The life of an

interstellar traveler is perfectly all right without any requirement of earth time like us.Further, all the derivatives and conclusions of such a person can be totally different from

the derivatives of the same person while on the earth. Before the interstellar journey, if he

reads the theory of the Big Bang, he may conclude this as the perfect reality. But, during

the period of interstellar journey, as he travels at speeds nearing to the speed of light, hemay start thinking that the Big Bang is not the correct conclusion for this universe. As he

nears the state of affairs at zero time he may start thinking that the Big Bang never

occurred, it is only an illusion, back on the earth. Once he realizes the truth during thespace travel, upon his return from the space travel, he may try to convince other people

that universe is extremely deceptive than what we really think about it from the earth. At

the same time, he will never be able to prove this to others on the earth, as all the personsaround him are perfectly hooked to earth time.Only he got a chance to de link himself

from the earth time and move towards the state of zero time during the process of

interstellar journey. In reality, as of now this is only a fantasy or an extendedvisualization for the cause ofzero timeand not an immediate subject for experimentation.

minds on the earth, this is fairly a very long span of time, especially considering our life

spans. But, for the universal events happening in a state of zero time 10 to 20 billionyears of earth timemay not be of any significance. When timenever exists where is the

question of 10 to 20 billion years? All these figures are significant for the limited range

of earth boundcalculations. We are bound to calculate like this not because of any fault

of ours. It is because the deceptive universe binds our minds, especially our consciousminds with a tricky link synchronized with the planetary motion of the earth. We are

bound to ignore this fact, as it is a part and parcel of our life, throughout our lifetime, like

oxygen and water. But, this illusion can come out of the human mind during the period ofvery fast interstellar travel to other galaxies. Calculating the beginning point of the

universe is like searching for the starting point of a circle while moving in a circular path.

If we are moving in a circular path and are trying to locate the starting point of thecircular path, then there is no end. By any calculation every point can be the starting point

or an end point. A circle is always an endless loop. Similar is the case with the universe.

Universe always exists in a timeless state of existence, which is generally referred as thezero time state. Time is not at all an absolute parameter for the state of affairs of the

universe. Timeis only an illusion imparted on our minds by the motion of light and therelative motion of the earth within the solar system

VI Conclusion:

A differential analysis of how a human mind can think in different ways in different

planetary living conditions and during the times of high velocity interstellar travel leads

to the conclusion that, the parameter earth timeis not at all an absolute parameter withinthe universe and hence, cannot be used to calculate the age of the universe. The essence

of the universe lies in creating an illusionary timed statewithin a timelessstate or thezerotimestate of its existence.
