wards, François Jacob, a famous intellectual and Nobel laureate pro-
fessor of genetics, states the following in his book Le Jeu des Possibles
(The Play of Possibilities):
Films played backwards let us imagine a world in which time flows
backwards. A world in which cream separates itself from the coffee and
jumps out of the cup to reach the creamer; in which the walls emit
light rays that are collected in a light source instead of radiating out
from it; a world in which a stone leaps up to a man's hand from the
water where it was thrown by the astonishing cooperation of innu-
merable drops of water surging together. Yet, in such a time-reversed
world with such opposite features, our brain processes, and the
way our memory compiles information, would similarly func-
tion backwards. The same is true for the past and future, though the
world will appear to us exactly as it does currently. 13
But since our brain is accustomed to a certain sequence of
events, the world does not operate as related above. We assume that
time always flows forward. However, this is a decision reached in
the brain and is, therefore, completely relative. In reality, we never
can know how time flows—or even whether it flows or not! This is
because time is not an absolute fact, but only a form of perception.
That time is a perception is also verified by Albert Einstein in
his Theory of General Relativity. In his book The Universe and Dr.
Einstein, Lincoln Barnett writes:

Along with absolute space, Einstein discarded the concept of absolute
time—of a steady, unvarying inexorable universal time flow, stream-
ing from the infinite past to the infinite future. Much of the obscurity
that has surrounded the Theory of Relativity stems from man's reluc-
tance to recognize that sense of time, like sense of color, is a form
of perception. Just as space is simply a possible order of material ob-
jects, so time is simply a possible order of events. The subjectivity of
