RE: What If Time Is Not a Straight Line?
That's very interesting... Perhaps intuition is one of those mysteries where science, consciousness, and our perception of time leave us with more questions than answers!

Fascinating! And for one, I’m really happy it happened. Else, how would we have these conversations? ;))))
Maybe you would have better ones, I cannot exclude this possibility.
I tried to point out that we have NO perception of time.
We have perception of events, and our consciousness tries to order them in before and after, thus generating what we call time. Time itself cannot be perceived. You can watch the clock or something else that is moving or changing. The concept of time serves as the bottle and is not to be intermingled with the content inside the bottle. As we cannot see the air in which we live, we cannot perceive the time in which things happen.

Forget about the clock. You can count your heart beats! I mean to say that even if you are in a dark room oblivious to the outside world, even then you would have some sense of passing of time. It will definitely be disoriented, distorted and somewhat blurry but you would know that we are passing through the time!

Yes. But no perception of it. What we perceive are events.
Time is the abstract that remains if we subtract all events.
Let me give you a comparison:
If you have 3 apples and abstract from these objects, you come to the concept of 3 and of numbers themselves. The 3 is not perceivable.

Well in that sense, nothing can be perceived!
But I get what you are saying!!!

Going beyond the goal can be interesting and informative / instructive.
After that, one should aim anew at the goal.
