Default IF TIME NEVER EXISTED!

If there was no such thing as "TIME", how would this effect our poker minds. I find myself all the time trying to build a BR in the shortest amount of "TIME".... if there was no such thing as "TIME" I would play relaxfull. But everything in life is centered around TIME.

I'm no physics researcher by far, but wouldn't we stand still without TIME? And wouldn't that lead me to the conclusion that I couldn't move or do anything at all, not even spending a millisecond of thought on the fact that there are things like bankrolls?

Not really a psychology topic, is it?

Actually, time doesn't exist. It's only a thoughtform, something man has made up. All we really have is each moment, here and now, time is just an illusion we've created for our convinience.

Anyone can choose to just relax into the now and stop being concerned about the future or the past, and just be. A lot of people don't realize this though. It's just a choice you have to make with awareness.

It's not that time doesn't exist - but it *might* not exist or at least past, present and future may all be about the same.

Go Google "retrocausality" and read about it, interesting stuff. A really bad short explanation of it is that the future can affect the present - effect may preceed cause. I may have decided to post this answer before you asked your question. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Steven Hawkins told me that time is a property of our universe

If there was no such thing as time you wouldn't exist.

All of the future has already occurred all the way till the end of the universe. "Time" is just us catching up and replaying what has happened.

You cannot separate time from space, as Einstein pointed out. Neither can you separate space-time from energy (matter/EMW – the whole physical existence). Energy can only be described by the space-time continuum. Energy is like the negative image of space-time.

But, inside some black holes it might exist places where the shape of space-time is such that you actually could move in space without moving in time …

… but I don’t see any possibility for broadband connection in the near future at those locations.
