The fallacy is in the question… linear time is not real , it’s a man made construct … so in actuality , only our hubris confirms our bias .. the scientific community will only claim 4 % of the known universe at this part .. fearing consciousness discussion and acting as if dark energy and dark matter are the unknown mysterious things … but who TF makes a 4 on a test and stands up and starts making declarations ? It’s just human nature , we have to kind of find a starting point , cling to it , but it’s hardly possible , as for 103-104 years now we have known time is merely a perspective .
