We have already seen in my article ‘Time Travel’ that Time and space are considered as a twin and interdependent phenomenon. Time may be defined as a distance between two points in space. Simply speaking, if a person moves from point A to point B, the duration required for space travelled/ covered between points A and B may be called Time to reach from A to B. In other words, if space between A and B is expanded, the time to reach from A to B will be expanded; and if the space between A and B is contracted/condensed, time to reach from A to B will be shortened. It means same event (in this case moving from A to B) will require more (expanded) time to happen, if space is expanded; as that event will require lesser time to happen, if space is condensed/ contracted.
We have also seen in the same article “ Time Travel” that events happen quicker on 1st sky as we move from 1st sky to upper skies; it means space starts contracting/ condensing as we move from seventh sky to 1st sky. In other words, space starts expanding as we move from 1st sky to upper skies. It means both time and space contract more on earth as we move from 1st sky to upper skies. Therefore we have seen in the same article that al-maarij-3,4 suggest that by spending a few hours in upper skies, we can see the events happening in future hundreds of years on earth. It means we can draw conclusion that mankind can travel in time by travelling from 1st sky to upper skies; this is what has been actually done by Hazrat Muhammad (saw) during ‘journey of Meraj’.
We have also seen in the same article that one day at seventh sky is equal to fifty thousand years on earth. In other words, the events occurring in fifty thousand years on earth are seen to be happened in one day/24 hours in seventh sky. In other words, one second spent in the seventh sky would be equal to 211.22 days spent on earth; it means the events which are seen to be happened in one second in seventh sky would happen in 211.22 days on earth.
If events happening in 211.22 days on earth can be seen to be happened in one second in seventh sky, from the same analogy it seems possible that all events happening from beginning to end of this world can happen in a single moment in such a frame of Time and Space which exists separately from the frames of time and space of seven skies. Allah who is not bound to operate keeping within ambits of Time and Space in seven skies. Quran says about process of creation: “For to anything which We have willed, We but say the word, "Be", and it is” (al-nahl-40). From this verse it is evident that anything which is willed by Allah happens forthwith. It is possible only in such frame of Time and Space which exists separately from the frames of time and space of seven skies.
We can conclude that Time and space may be expanded/contracted to such a point where all events happening from beginning to end of this world may happen in a single moment of time.This testifies our Messenger's (saww) saying that Allah is done with process of creation and its allied matters.
If time "speeds up" for all events, is the aging process of humans not hastened? Thanks
ReplyDeleteman can be present in two different time zones simultaneously. Aging process of a person present in two different time zones -present in two skies simultaneously- will be determined within frame of time existing in the concerned sky. If a person present in an upper sky, witnesses one hundred events in one minute, and those one hundred events are witnessed in fifty years in earthly time, that person after witnessing those events in upper sky would be only one minute older not fifty years older;similarly he would be fifty years older in earthly time after witnessing those events on earth.
