<strong>ETERNITY</strong> <strong>HAS</strong> <strong>ALREADY</strong> <strong>BEGUN</strong><br />
such interpretations and therefore, he would never form any perception<br />
of time. One determines himself to be thirty years old, only because<br />
he has accumulated in his mind information pertaining to those<br />
thirty years. If his memory did not exist, then he could not think of any<br />
such preceding period and would be experiencing only the single "moment"<br />
in which he was living. And this point is very important.<br />
The Scientific Explanation of Timelessness<br />
We can clarify this subject by quoting various scientists' and<br />
scholars' explanations. Regarding the idea of time flowing backwards,<br />
François Jacob, a famous intellectual and Nobel laureate professor<br />
of genetics, states the following in his book Le Jeu des Possibles<br />
(The Play of Possibilities):<br />
Films played backwards let us imagine a world in which time flows<br />
backwards. A world in which cream separates itself from the coffee<br />
and jumps out of the cup to reach the creamer; in which the walls<br />
emit light rays that are collected in a light source instead of radiating<br />
out from it; a world in which a stone leaps up to a man's hand<br />
from the water where it was thrown by the astonishing cooperation<br />
of innumerable drops of water surging together. Yet, in such a timereversed<br />
world with such opposite features, our brain processes,<br />
and the way our memory compiles information, would similarly<br />
function backwards. The same is true for the past and future,<br />
though the world will appear to us exactly as it does currently. 11<br />
But since our brain is accustomed to a certain sequence of events,<br />
the world does not operate as related above. We assume that time<br />
always flows forward. However, this is a decision reached in the<br />
brain and is, therefore, completely relative. If the information in our<br />
memories were set out like a reel of film being played backward,<br />
then for us the passage of time would be like it is in films. In that<br />
event, we would start perceiving the past as the future, and the future<br />
as the past, and living in a state that is the exact opposite of<br />
what life is now.
