TIME is unidirectional

TIME is unidirectional. We either think of past or worry of future that is the only direction we know of TIME. We are also aware that time cannot be reversed. We all have memories of the past but there are no memories of future. Past cannot be changed but that can influence our future. Time-reversal is invariant, it can be said that like other physical quantities (such as velocity, acceleration), time cannot change or reverse its direction because one cannot travel back to the moments of his past life. Paranormal may claim but I really don’t know.


Every morning we see sunrise in the East and Sun sets in the West in evening. This just can’t change and because of this we always consider only one direction of TIME. Why Sun cannot rise in North and set in South? Science can explain this and also has to admit it’s limitations that no change is possible in this mechanism. There is no way one can change or reverse the direction of TIME.


If at all some day TIME is reversed, then it will create more complications than any benefits. There may not be any customized reversal. If any reversal takes place it will be universal and then everyone be on same level play field once again. One may not retain the advances, technological and other and then go back in TIME. Perhaps one cannot carry the cell phone with self while travelling in the past. And if that’s going to be that way then what’s use in going back. Frankly I would like to have today’s salary and travel back fifty years to enjoy the 50’s cost of living. May be my female friends can buy gold by tons as against by grams as it is today. And one can buy acres of land rather than brooding for few hundred sq. ft. land that’s available today. So just going back in time frame is no answer. One will commit same mistakes and will repent in future and this will continue. So TIME reversal has no meaning if it’s going to be in totality. I wish technology develops for customized time reversal so that I can enjoy best of both the worlds. Till then continue the way it is…….

  1. Nice read sir..while it is unidirectional.. One seldom reflects back on time..nor does one "capture a moment" or archive appropriately for future generations..its like film reel which can see the past,learn and reflect but can't change
