Introduction.
Motion is the passing of Time in a Space-Time Continuum.
The concept of a single worldwide universal time-scale was conceived many centuries
ago yet in practically the ability to create and maintain such a time-scale did not become
possible until the mid-19th century. The timescale adopted was Greenwich Mean Time,
created in 1847. https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Time
B time theorists believe that the flow of time is an illusion, that the past, present, &
future are equally real, and that time is tenseless. https://en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki › B-
theory_of_time
The A-theory of time is typically associated with the idea that the present is
metaphysically privileged or singled out in some way from past and future times.
Furthermore, there is genuine flow of time as past events recede further and further into
the past and future events move closer and closer to the present. The A-theorist holds
that the properties of being past, being present and being future are fundamental to the
nature of time.
https://philpapers.org/browse/a-theories-of-time Metaphysics is a major branch
of philosophy. It concerns existence and the nature of things that exist. The
metaphysical idea is that reality exists independently of one's mind and yet can be known
(realism); the opposite is that no mind-independent reality exists (idealism).
Time flows at a different speed in different places; the past and the future differ far less
than we might think. The very notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe.
Past-Present-Future is an Illusion. They all exist. The Past is not gone and the future is
here now. Everything that has happened or will happen is here now. Imagine that a video
has been made of your life and your approach is to watch it or live it out. This does not
mean that all is pre-determined, just predictable.

Brain/Mind Relationship
Perception Loops
Thoughts—Feelings—Emotions
We are thinking people. These factors apply to our thinking. When thoughts and emotions
both exist on a specific subject, feelings will overtake emotions 99% of the time. In
addition, values are the main factor in all of life and values overtake both feelings and
thoughts.
We cause or make our own feelings even though we believe otherwise. It is very fortunate
that it is that way as it gives great opportunity for change and for one to get what one
wants out of life.

Hologram Time
Holograms are photographic recordings of 3D scenes. Unlike a camera, which captures one view through a small viewer focused by a lens, holograms capture an entire light field which allows them to recreate the 3D scene.
