2021-02-16 My Thoughts About Time

From FB comment re: If you’re in the time dimension, you’re a part of that dimension and you cannot change where you are in that dimension. All these theories act as though you could jump out of that dimension and observe it. But that violates the whole principle of time as a dimension. So you
