If Time Is Created by the Observer
Could time be created by observers? Explore how physics, information theory, memory, and consciousness may shape our experience of time—and what this means for human agency and reality itself.
-
What Existed Before Time?
What existed before time began? Explore how modern physics, cosmology, spacetime, and consciousness challenge our deepest assumptions about reality, causality, and the origin of time itself.
-
Could Time Exist Without Observers?
If every conscious being vanished tomorrow… would time continue to exist? Could time exist without observers? Explore how physics, quantum theory, consciousness, and human awareness shape the difference between physical time and experienced reality.
-
Does Time Actually Exist?
Does time actually exist? Explore how physics, biology, and human consciousness reveal time as a layered experience shaped by perception, memory, and change.

Was Time Invented or Discovered?
What a Simple Question Reveals About Reality, Experience, and Human Agency Series: Time, Consciousness, and New Science By JJ Simon — Perspectives with JJ Simonauthor of Humans Actuators of Time There are questions that sound simple, almost trivial, until you try to answer them. “Was time invented or discovered?” At first glance, it feels like a binary choice.…

Why Time Feels Like It Flows
The Science of Time and the Human Experience Series: Time, Consciousness, and New Science By JJ Simon — Perspectives with JJ Simonauthor of Humans Actuators of Time Time feels like it moves. Not abstractly. Not conceptually.But directly, almost physically—like something carrying us from one moment to the next. We feel it in urgency. In anticipation. In memory.We speak…

How Experience Shapes Our Sense of Time
Series: Time, Consciousness, and New Science By JJ Simon — Perspectives with JJ Simonauthor of Humans Actuators of Time Time seems stable—until you start paying attention to it. On clocks and calendars, it moves with precision. Seconds, hours, days, years. Clean, consistent, measurable. But in lived experience, time behaves very differently. It stretches.It compresses.It disappears.It lingers. Moments of…

What Time Is and Why Humans Help Make It
Series: Time, Consciousness, and New Science By JJ Simon — Perspectives with JJ Simonauthor of Humans Actuators of Time Time feels obvious—until you actually look at it. We divide our lives into seconds and years. We plan futures, revisit memories, measure progress, regret delays. Time feels so immediate, so ever-present, that questioning it can seem almost unnecessary.…

The New Race to Measure Time: How Ultra-Precision Clocks Are Redefining Reality
From Sundials to Optical Lattice Clocks — Humanity’s Quest to Understand Time Itself Series: Time, Consciousness, and New Science By JJ Simon — Perspectives with JJ Simon I still find it astonishing that something as ordinary as a “second” is not a simple thing at all. It isn’t something we can hold. It isn’t something we can…

Levitating Time Crystals: When Matter Itself Becomes a Clock
What These Strange “Ticking” Structures Reveal About Time, Change, and Our Role Inside the Universe Series: Time, Consciousness, and New Science By JJ Simon — Perspectives with JJ Simon I still remember the first time I heard the phrase time crystal. My immediate reaction was simple: that cannot possibly be real. A crystal is supposed to sit…
