Fate

The decisions you make on a daily bases could they change depending on what you decide to do, is it like fate or predestined to happen? If you only waited one more minute or if you changed the course you were on, decided not to make that stop. Would it it have changed the outcome? Or are the things that happen in your life simply fate and would they occur anyways no matter what choice you made at that moment ? I ponder this today.

Nothing is predestined. Thinking that way limits your imagination and potential. We are molded by our families, our cultures, things that strongly influence us- but even then, we have the power to relearn and decide our own values. Every learning opportunity should be embraced to truly grow. Every choice matters. Your perspective on the world and your place in it matters. Imagine what your ultimate happiness is, then hope, dream and act towards finding it. Only your choices will get you there.

There is of course no way we can ever know, but from a physicist’s standpoint, the idea of Predetermination is gaining some ground amongst Quantum Physicists (though only as a mathematical abstraction), though it is very much the minority who goes this route.

What we think of as time is only a human perceptual construct based heavily on the rotational speed of our planet and its orbit around our star.

“Time” only occurs because over the span of the universe’s life things change from order into chaos from one moment to the next, and this long, slow decay of order and matter into disorder and energy is what drives what is known as the “Arrow of Time.”

Time is of course relative to speed and mass: time slows down the faster you are moving in relation to a massive body (a planet or star for instance), and it also slows down the closer you are to a massive body. For instance, if you fly at 40,000 feet for 12 hours, time passed more quickly for you than those on the Earth’s surface (by an extremely small amount) because you were further away from the dense core of the Earth.

On an almost incomprehensible scale, the entire universe WILL decay away to nothing, even black holes will evaporate away via Hawking Radiation, and there will be nothing left in the entire universe except an endless sea of photons all cooled to absolute zero. WHEN the very last remnant of the very last black hole evaporates away, time will then come to a stop, as there is nothing left to change, so nothing WILL change, so there will no longer be any way to measure one moment to the next. This is in like 1 x 10e80 years from now…

so try not to think about it.

You seem very smart !
I wish I could stop my mind from thinking about things. The why of things makes me wonder.
Why ?
Reasoning behind things and people and ridiculous things going on in the world.
Why ?
I'm trying meditation but when you hyperactive it hard to calm the mind and the body as they say.
But thanks for your insight maybe I will pick your brain sometime :)
Pick. Lol

I read an old book once from an abscure book store in Vancouver called, The Power of Belief. Your thoughts are very powerful and can become your reality. So it's wise to think good things and believe you can make them happen. Interesting book. It's odd that negative thoughts are easier to believe than positive ones. Training the mind in a different manner can give you a better outcome. Working on that !
It's ain't easy :)

I believe

That it doesn’t matter what you do if it’s meant to happen it will, just like today I was biking and thinking about an ice cold drink but didn’t have the cash for it and then I found ten bucks a few minutes later so I got the frapp! It was in the stars

Hootie and the Blowfish or Alan Parsons?

Time, why you punish me? Like a wave washing into the shore, you wash away my dreams.

Time keeps flowing like a river to the sea.

I don't know about if time can be defined as the movement from order to chaos. What about water freezing into ice? The crystals are very orderly. What about the development of a foetus? That seems like a movement from chaos into a very complex system that is orderly. Great comment above, love pondering the universe.
