Description There Is No Time. There Never Was and There Never Will Be

'Everything exists in the present moment and it’s a fundamental principle of the Universe that many of our scientists are still trying to grasp. Time does not actually exist and Quantum Theory proves it. There are things that are closer to you in time, and things that are further away, just as there are things that are near or far away in space. But the idea that time flows past you is just as absurd as the suggestion that space does.

The trouble with time started a century ago, when Einstein’s special and general theories of relativity demolished the idea of time as a universal constant . One consequence is that the past, present, and future are not absolutes. Einstein’s theories also opened a rift in physics because the rules of general relativity (which describe gravity and the large-scale structure of the cosmos) seem incompatible with those of quantum physics (which govern the realm of the tiny).

According to Einstein’s special theory of relativity, there is no way to specify events that everyone can agree happen simultaneously. Two events that are both “now” to you will happen at different times for anyone moving at another speed. Other people will see a different now that might contain elements of yours – but equally might not.

The result is a picture known as the block universe: the universe seen from that impossible vantage point outside space and time. You can by all means mark what you think is “now” with a red dot, but there is nothing that distinguishes that place from any other, except that you are there. Past and future are no more physically distinguished than left and right.

The equations of physics do not tell us which events are occurring right now–they are like a map without the “you are here” symbol. The present moment does not exist in them, and therefore neither does the flow of time. Additionally, Albert Einstein’s theories of relativity suggest not only that there is no single special present but also that all moments are equally real.'

in this context, is there causality?

Yes, lets say we are walking in the street and some and we found some friends walking and hanging there without previous arrangement.

Here some more:
The time is now
Now

causality is all we have.

that and the amygdala. and the hypothalamus. these 2 work together to create time out of our experience of causality.

clocks are just a machine. I've had the experience of repeatedly looking at a clock, snapping my fingers, and then watching my digital clock change minutes. my world doesn't revolve around it. I equate worrying about time on a clock with the adage:  Intelligent people talk about ideas, mediocre people talk about events, dumb people talk about people.

The day begins at sunset anyway. Like all things, everthing starts with the dark. Seeds in the ground, you in your mothers womb. Even the bible says the first thing that their god made was the light. It was dark first..
And so we rest in the dark before we toil. Not we toil and then we rest in the dark. Its all been tipped upside down. We look at the clock and say "OH, I gotta get up, gotta get up", and how often "OH, I gotta sleep, I gotta sleep". Not often eh ?
So I agree with you.
Be your own master of your time, who's life is it anyway ?

Time is an illusion just a space between atoms

Not sure if "time doesn't exist" fits into my theology, but I do agree that we should try not to be governed by time. It seems to go by faster if we label and fit in more and more things.

I recently read Love, Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. One of the best parts was when Stargirl and her mother decide to throw out all their watches and clocks. She felt similarly to what you say here.

Hee... perhaps this is what my friend mean when she mentioned it once. I still could hardly understand the physics, though
