Jan 3rd- Relativity to Time – Chris Ritchey

Time and relativity – I admit the highest mark I ever received from Norman Niles- my Physics teacher was D minus! I hated Math and I detested Physics- loved Chemistry and History.
However ” Events that occur at the same time for one observer could occur at different times for another.” https://www.space.com/17661-theory-general-relativity.html
Black Holes I never understood – more a case of not wanting to be bothered- BUT and there is always a but I feel I am ( as well as probably many others of my kind) lost in time .
A mother who has lost her child – there are no words or labels for us – not a widow, an orphan, etc unless you consider “tethligons” (Sanskrit word which means ‘against the natural order’)which, for me ,conjures up some sort of terrible monster- but then losing your son or daughter makes you feel like you are in the world of monsters – caught , crunched between the teeth of the monster and then spat out – only to be caught again
Most of humanity live in a 3 dimensional world – and then again….
We can portray our reality as either a three-dimensional place where stuff happens over time,” said Massachusetts Institute of Technology physicist Max Tegmark, “or as a four-dimensional place where nothing happens [‘block universe’] — and if it really is the second picture, then change really is an illusion, because there’s nothing that’s changing; it’s all just there — past, present, future.
My universe, Christopher, since you have been taken away has left me in a world where I float, for the most part, between the time before, then and now- New Year’s Eves have come and gone but every day and night I am elsewhere lost in time, as it no longer registers or is linear, the time that has come in between observed only by others in the 3rd dimension . I wake never knowing the year…………………. my 4 dimensional world apart from the normal .
Struggling toward some knowledge of the “physics of it all” and once again a barely passing grade. There are glimpses of understanding but the are illusive , on the edge of conscience , just out of reach –
but they are there – if only my tired brain could grab them – the tools of science notwithstanding in their cold calculations .
I continue to love and exist in this dimension – nothing changes our love or missing of you……….except they grow in strength no matter the time ….
