You can catch me any day watching some Sci-Fi show about time travel.

It’s quite intriguing, isn’t it?

The opportunity to go back in time to fix a mistake or into the future to quell the uncertainties and fears that cripple your present.

Maybe you just want to see yourself from a different “time” perspective. The possibilities could be endless.

After doing some research (about 400 hours of watching Netflix solely for my entertainment needs), I’ve noticed that there’s a common factor that plays a major role when “super-humans” time travel. They’re always warned to not alter any event.

Why? Because it creates a ripple effect that changes history and affects the present outcome (which may or may not turn out to be worse than it currently is).

In The Flash TV show, they call this an “alternate timeline”. Let me explain this in a simpler way.

Every day we make decisions. You can choose to study daily for an upcoming exam, or you can choose to procrastinate till a few days before your exam. Whatever choice you make creates a different outcome. Your choice at that moment will determine if you fail or pass that course.

This is one example. We make choices every minute. Should I apply for that job or should I skip it? Should I exercise or eat a bucket of ice-cream? Should I buy that bag or invest my money? Should I binge-watch Merlin or should I call it a night?

These little decisions that may seem inconsequential at the moment undergo a compounding effect that determines what your future is.

So is the future certain? If you could travel to the future, how accurate would it be? Can you change the future if you knew how it would turn out?

What role does destiny and fate play in all this? How about prophecies and revelations? What do you do with the futuristic knowledge you received during a prophecy service?

These are the questions that rummage through my mind.

What really is time?

We try to “buy” time or “kill” time.

We even end up “wasting” time. Some people try to “get ahead” of time and others “run” out of time.

I like to see time as a human construct. Certainly, God exists outside of time. He’s eternal. That’s why we can never understand his order of events.

Who decided that a day only has 24 hours? What if some days are actually up to 30 hours and some 16? That’d better explain why we feel some days are “longer” or “shorter” than others.

Time.

Is it linear? Forward ever, backward never.

Or cyclical? What goes around comes around.

I don’t have the answers to this and maybe you don’t either. But I know one thing for sure, my time travel machine is almost complete. Text me if you want to be my guinea pig.
