‘Le Rein’

It is logically explained that we are all in some way explorers in time, crossing the continuum through the universe.

As you relax and simply sit to read your book, time is swirling around you.

The future is like grains of sand filtering through your fingers, spiraling and metamorphosing into the past as every second passes.

Everything that you are executing at this precise moment in time is rapidly descending into the past.

Close your eyes for a moment and block out your surrounds. Focus on the future and present time, let its velocity transform into the past.

This is the channel to enter “The Nothing.”

In the distance came a crackling sensation and the mindfulness of muffled noises coming from far away. Listening to the remote sounds conveyed flashing memories of a time when I was once hiking in the forest.

Anthony had tracked ahead mumbling about how slow I was. I just watched as he faded out of view leaving me alone, with only the sound of my footsteps crunching the foliage underneath my sneakers. I walked along slowly as a far-away howl stopped my paces and as I stood perfectly still, I was fascinated by the silence being broken from the wailing in the distance. The sense of hearing was amazing, echoing through the forest and vibrating my eardrums gently. If one decided to choose to lose a sense, what sense would one choose to lose? Would it be hearing, sight, smell, taste or touch? I stood contemplating the thought to myself as my ears isolated each sound of the forest; the stream with its soothing running water, the birds fluttering through the trees and the buzzing of insects as they circled around me. Tranquility was soon broken.
“Would you move it?” Anthony yelled. “We haven’t got all

    Burnt, peeling skin slipped off my sun beaten arm. A salty tear dropped down my face, and I swallowed it, soaking in every bit of bitter liquid I could taste. I squinted, the sun capturing my green eyes at a glare. I reached over and grabbed my sunglasses, protecting my damaged eyes from the harmful UV rays. Suddenly, the world came into view.…

    Missing the noise of the sea at night, I find it difficult to sleep. Difficult to be content with the tame sounds of human habitation: somebody’s dog barking, somebody’s door swinging to, a window raised in a nearby house, the hum and crunch of a passing car… and not long for the primitive rhythm of the rides, the peep of peewits, and the sound of the wind in the grass.” This poem resembles me at my first night in college, during the night time I kept hearing so much noises that I could not sleep. I consider somebody’s dog barking as a comparison of students being loud in the middle of the night and somebody’s dog barking as my roommate’s alarm…

    BELIEVE IT OR NOT, we're all accustomed to a certain standard, or stereotype that needs to be played. Whether it's being captain of the cheerleading team or the smartest kid in your class, it's one way or another that's there's going to be someone who's supposed to follow by these stereotypes or standards just for the sole fact that that's them.

    “Time does not exist” is a controversial statement for several reasons. Aside from the fact that if it were proposed a few centuries ago it would have been deemed cause for involuntary commitment; the remark disputes itself. Since the ages when Socrates and Plato implored others to question their surroundings, establishing the field of philosophy, people have neglected to attain an answer to a question involving one of the most fundamental properties that fosters all existence, what is time? “The Arrow of Time? It’s All in Our Heads”, by Robert Lanza is an article that seeks to spark the Socrates in all of us.…

    SID: 25647359 Time Travel and Backwards Causation This is a paper about time travel; namely, time travel to the past. On the surface, the concept seems saturated in contradictions and inevitable paradoxes, including backwards causation, the grandfather paradox, or time moving in two ways inconsistent with each other. Much of the confusion and contradictions regarding time travel have led many to conclude that time travel is impossible. I’m going to argue that some of these arguments claiming time travel is impossible can be worked out when we clearly define what we’re talking about.…

    Time often seems to be subjectively perceived by people depending upon the particular situation or circumstance. During a certain period of time, one individual may feel that time is moving at a fast rate, while another individual may feel that time is moving at a slow rate. However, since time is generally considered as an objective construct, and is measured to be moving at a consistent rate, the idea that time can be perceived differently by different individuals appears to be quite contradictory. These counterintuitive ideas raise a distinct problem in our concept of temporal awareness.…
