Quiver of Time Arrows

The universal measure of space and time in the Universe is the speed of light.

In a vacuum it is constant and equals 300,000 kilometers per second.

The photons have flown 300,000 km, which means a second has passed.

The thing is that an observer, wherever he may be, sees only the light caught by the receptors of his organ of vision, the light that comes into contact with them.

Receding photons are not registered by the observer, except in those cases when, and if, on the way they catch up with some object and reflect from it, in order to return to the observer once more, albeit with a delay.

but always only the light that has reached the observer.

the motion of photons toward the observer is directed from the past into the future.

And motion from the past into the future is precisely the normal, positive flow of time.

the motion of photons in the opposite direction, away from the observer, proceeds backward in time, from the future into the past.

Positive time is our world, our reality, our dimension, because all objects of the material world (substantial, with positive mass), including the observer, move at subluminal velocities.

The resultant for such an object is “time zero.”

And finally, if an object exceeds the speed of light, then the negative increment of time will be so great that its time will be utterly perverted, will become truly negative, will acquire a minus sign with the accompanying inversion of cause-and-effect relations: it will “reach its destination at seven in the morning yesterday.”

Therefore negative time is a world invisible to the subluminal observer, another dimension, another reality.

It is logical to suppose that on cosmic scales there also exist formations of antimatter that possess superluminal velocity and for that reason remain in negative time, invisible to us.

The existence of such phenomena is only a hypothesis

Taking the above considerations into account could help in resolving many long-ripened contradictions and problems of physics, in particular in understanding the nature of the Big Bang, which, it seems, is nothing other than yet another annihilation of all the matter present in the universe with all its antimatter.

from which the formation of antipodal worlds begins anew

in the endless cycle of the transformation of matter into radiation and back again.
