The Real Essence of Matter                277



            armchair have been compiled as bits of information in the brain. The per-
            ception of time occurs when one compares the man sitting in the armchair
            with those bits of stored information.
                 In brief, time comes to exist as a result of the comparison made
            between a number of illusions stored in the brain. If man had not had
            memory, his brain would not have made such interpretations and therefore
            the perception of time would never have been formed. The reason why one
            determines himself to be thirty years old is only because he has accumulat-
            ed information pertaining to those thirty years in his mind. If his memory
            did not exist, he would not be thinking of the existence of such a preceding
            period of time and he would only experience the single "moment" he was
            living in.


                 The Scientific Explanation of Timelessness
                 Let us try to clarify the subject by quoting explanations by various sci-
            entists and scholars on the subject. Regarding the subject of time flowing
            backwards, the famous intellectual and Nobel laureate professor of genetics,
            François Jacob, states the following in his book Le Jeu des Possibles (The Pos-
            sible and the Actual):
                 Films played backward, make it possible for us to imagine a world in which
                 time flows backwards. A world in which milk separates itself from the cof-
                 fee and jumps out of the cup to reach the milk-pan; a world in which light
                 rays are emitted from the walls to be collected in a trap (gravity center)
                 instead of gushing out from a light source; a world in which a stone slopes to
                 the palm of a man by the astonishing cooperation of innumerable drops of
                 water making it possible for the stone to jump out of water. Yet, in such a
                 world in which time has such opposite features, the processes of our brain
                 and the way our memory compiles information, would similarly be func-
                 tioning backwards. The same is true for the past and future and the world
                 will appear  to us exactly as it currently appears. 213
                 Since our brain is accustomed to a certain sequence of events, the
            world operates not as it is related above and we assume that time always
            flows forward. However, this is a decision reached in the brain and there-
            fore is completely relative. In reality, we can never know how time flows or
            even whether it flows or not. This is an indication of the fact that time is not
            an absolute fact but just a sort of perception.
                 The relativity of time is a fact also verified by the most important
