First let me state that Non linear time theory is what it sets out to be. It is an elegant, internally consistent theory of space time. It would be radical, even implausible, were it not for string hologram theory. It is partially developed. The book was written originally to be a 15 page grant application for the purpose of finishing it.
It is mathematically incomplete, but intuitively correct.
It undermines self-determination, it either discloses or creates a universe so vastly different from anything we experience subject to one flaw, the flaw being what appears to be what we see with our own eyes. However, it casts doubt over what we see.
It is, perhaps more than any other theory of physics consistent with some type of religion while differentiating itself from any religious doctrine. It questions space and time, envisioning of necessity an environment where those limitations do not apply. This is vastly different from an environment where you can move about instantly or travel back and forth in time. This environment is one where time and distance have no existence. It is as if those two critical elements of our perception, space-time, were created for no reason other than our ability to perceive them. Worse still, it suggests that space-time is illusory. It suggests that we exist in the non-linear space and that our perception of a past and a future, of a here and there, are only illusion. It almost requires that every moment exists simultaneously with every other moment, that every quantum point exists with every other quantum point.
It suggests that our ability to manipulate our surroundings, to invent concepts of our surrounding, even our ideas of awareness are but an illusion. We do not think because we are, we think because in the world of non-linearity our entire existence is laid out for us. I can decide to write this and you can decide to read this, but it is a decision that is already made.
The theory is as much a terror as a triumph.
