time elapses everywhere at the same time and only progresses forwards.



All of time does NOT exist at once but all three parts are however continually in action. (future, present, past)



past is receiving the present, and the present is receiving the future, the future is giving time to the present. All of the past is not happening at once, neither is all of the future hapenning at once. Only the present is currently happening or we would not have the future and past. We would have the ever present or something.



so to CORRECTLY answer your question, the present is the only time happening all at once, while the future and past are just in action. you dont experience all of them at the same time.



...and no one can actually answer, but only guess, if there are other dimensions to time.



so... no and maybe

First u should know String theory. It is a theory which can explain any other micro level theory.



Time is a Dimensions , and it is same as other dimensions like length....... . As u can move forward n back word in a space u can also move in time.



I don't agree to the statement "Does all of time exist at once" . U check the links about Sting theory which will help u to know about TIME. Also check theory of reality and E=MC^2

OK, so first example:

My dimension of time: it's 8.00 pm.

Your dimension: It's 4.00 am (if you are in US)

Both of those dimensions are at the same time. It's 4.00am AND 8.00 pm at the same time.



Second example:

Ever heard of translating human years to animals (like, say, cats)? There are charts for that, some say that 1 human year equals 7 cat years as I recall... The point is, that as some animals live shorter they percept time a bit differently.l

If all time existed at once, then everything would happen at once, and actually would already have happened. But some speculate that an advanced sense might see all aspects of time, including past and future, so as to register the "time body" of an entity. Kind of like looking at a baby and sensing how it will look when it is old.

apparently time in the 3rd dimension is not the same as time in the 4th,if you were a 4th dimension entity you would be able to see all of

the 3rd dimension universe at once as say a cylinder.the big bang would be at one end and the future at another with 3rd dimension time representing merely a distance between two points.im led to believe 4th dimesional time is not so linear and is more moments of creation orientated.hope this helps a little

Alright, you need to understand something here.



Time is relative.



Just like if you asked me if I was holding something big. Big compared to what? It's just an opinion without something to compare it to. An ant is freakin HUGE if you're an electron.



Similarly, time passes differently depending on, among other things, your speed of travel. But it's not the way you think. When you're stuck in traffic, time is actually going by faster than when you're cruising at 60 MPH. Time slows the faster you go, that's called time dialation. But you're not aware of this. Even the clock on your dashboard isn't. It'll keep ticking the moments away just the same even if you're going lightspeed.



The rest of the universe won't. You're traveling at lightspeed past a planet and you see a generation live and die within a second.



But they aren't aware of this either. Time is ticking by on their clocks, just the same as it's ticking away on yours, and when you get back to earth, you're left to figure out who's clock is wrong.



As for your other question, I don't even know how to qualifty that, so I'm just gonna say 'Sure, why not?'

Time is relative, in-turn other dimensions of time exist. It's a scientific fact.

Great question. Yes, and yes. Universe is a closed system at any given locale but time is still present, which means that time (all of it is present) is linear only by the particular. At this point you probably need a sorcerer physicist but my bet would be on a strong linkage between the zero point energy sea and the space time continuum.

Of course all of time exists at once - now. And all "places" exist in the same place. But if we saw everything at once, it would make no sense, therefore we have a perceptive mechanism that shows it to us in an orderly fashion.



Think of a DVD. It all exists at once, but to make sense of it, you have a machine that shows it a piece at a time in an order geared to the way we perceive.

They say that it does, and it might!



But that is way to much for me, Thanks! Can't seem to handle that.



I guess even though I love Paranormal and Parapsychology studies, I must be a bit more of a linear thinker than I thought.



One lifetime at a time is plenty enough for me, Thank you!



That's just about all I can handle as it is.



I guess I shouldn't take this life so seriously. We may never pass this way again, though. That's ok, well, we'll be somewhere's else then.

Potentially, yes. (It would explain the God-creating-the-Earth-in-six-days thing.)



If you've ever sat by a reflecting pool & watched the wind-blown waves go consistently from one side to the other, that may be what someone outside our concept of time might observe if they looked at our existence within time. Just an image upon which to chew.

In theory; Yes and Yes. Depends how you understand Time and Dimensions. We in the 3rd dimension and if someone is in the 4th dimension we both in the same time!! If, I move back in time, you still here in your time. I can not move back in time, if, it already gone.

There exists the spiritual world and the material world, in the spiritual world the times are totally different that in the world that we know...

ok, lets not forget that humans relate time to their existance and

have formulated the keeping, and counting of time with our minds

and our perceptions, thus if someother life form that existed

in another part of the universe had a different measurement of time, then ours would be for us and our intellectual ability and

of course our surroundings. so you see if there is nothing to

compare our way to another way, then there cannot be an

answer.

to God time is all there at once he sees everything at one time.



to us as humans we live in subject to time.

time as a measurement is constant but time as it happens is relitive. ever heard someone say they had a long day. this is becase time is a rate in change.



becase God never changes (he is the same yesterday today and tomorrow) he experiences no time.

humans on the other hand experience change all the time and the rate of change determins its relitive leangth.

to answer your question it depends what you mean by dimentions but there are varied speeds of time.

time does not exist, it is merely and abstract concept created by man. Everything that has happened cannot be changed or revisited. Everything that will happen has not occurred and cannot be changed.

The mind may go or invent other places if it can not accept the present.

Time is just nature's way of ensuring that everything DOESN'T happen all at once!

Absolutely, study up on string theory.

"Time" only exist in the Minds of Man. No Mind! ...No Time!
