Einsteins Quotes on time "Dumbest" to "best"

Einstein has said many things, during his lifetime and some even would consider him as a demigod of science. As there is no depth he could imagine. So, more than science he had believed in the ability of imagination. Consider the following quote. "Imagination is more important than knowledge". As it pushes the boundary of the knowledge into the unknown parts of the universe. He has done this not once but many times.

So, I am going to consider his quotes on time. A handful of them. The first one came across was the last one given here. Which is "The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once". Having written a book about time and having a clear idea where the time exist now I can say that must be the dumbest thing Einstein has ever said.

Explanation is simple. "Everything does happen at once". And I can prove that is the case. More importantly once I prove I can show you that Einstein is false atleast once in his life. Maybe he was busy feeding his cat when he wrote the above, that he himself forgot to imagine. And to see the proof we need mindfulness.

Why everything happens now?

Close your eyes and imagine everything happenning in the universe this instant of time. You can call time is relative and we are stuck in different time zones at the same time. We feel this only because we are thinking about the universe inside the framework of universe. Imagine the universe is a gigantic ball. And relative to the observer who is outside the universe, he can observe everything happens in the universe at the same time. Although we see the light from even dead stars far away corners, due to the relative slow speed of light. This observer outside the universe could "See" with his superpower that the universe has only one clock. Which is the clock that his observation happens. (maybe he has "Instant" vision about anything happening anywhere in universe so there is no delay)

That is the proof everything happens at same time. Every function at this instant in the universe happens now. You have to imagine it, as our physical abilities are not capable of "Seeing" this. But with mindful imagination you can "See" this is the case. So, there is only one time. Which is called now. All the other things which happened before this instance is past. And everything which did not happen yet to happen is "Future". And as both are not existing anymore at this instance they are just imagination. So, I can conclude that only reason for time to exist is because of imagination of consciousness which can expand the thoughts to an imaginative past and imaginative future. Now you can ask the question, Wait isn't it same process that creates now itself? I think I have answered this question in the book what is time? So you can get an idea.

What about other quotes?

Now, once we are there. You can read the rest of the quotes by Einstein about time. And I can see all the five other quotes about time given here confirms the above conclusion we arrived. "Time is an Illusion", "Time is relative", "Time does not function as a tick tock clock" as it is really a continous function. "Time depends on your frame of reference" as this frame of reference is non other than your own consciousness. Time was born with you and will end with you.

Things do not stop there. This is why again and again for the 400th time I am inviting you to be mindful. What is true for the time, is true for everthing. Every mental object that create throughout our lives have tracable origin which points back to us. Isn't it amazing? To know that even God exist within us? What about the devils and death?

If mindfulness has taught me anything about life that is the biggest lier is my mind. As nothing it say is an absoulte truth. How to be at harmony with this, is the question. Maybe which is another illusionary problem like time. Let it go, let it be, let it flow, is good advice.
