No time does not "exist" - as Einstein once said, "...time exists so everything doesn't happen at once..."
Reality is a solid object... that is if you cannot define an object or mass outside of an energy reference... which is well, so impossible it is cliche' to mention it...
Energy conducts other forms of energy into uniformity with itself...
In other words.. water and rocks are compatible... eventually the apparent distinction between the two will fade to a non distinguishable uniformity given mutal exposure to one another... over a prolonged exposure you will see the compatibility...
One writer said - "The ocean eventually erases all evidence."
Call it time if you must.. which is more a construct of limited human intellect used to "outline" the limited experience of reality that the 5 senses affords combined with that sixth sense...
Thought or consciousness... whatever... like it matters...
Because nothing I feel or think will affect the reality I experience without some efffort on my part to make REALITY compatible with me... in other words...
Dissolving... because most of the forms of Energy...( rocks - water - fire - trees ect. ect. ) will conduct our form (human) into uniformity with itself... example
Fire seeks to turn everything it touches into itself... fire
Alcohol and other drugs... will eventually conduct your form into consistency with themselves... only the end result will be an "untimely" demise....
Even a glass left out in the sun for years will become brittle and more fragile just by the effect of the two energy forms... glass and solar... trying to become ONE
ONE
Because the universe is a solid object... A solid object called energy...
Bridging the forms of energy only require exposure one to the other....
The Nature of all Energy, well I'll save that for another time...
Because one form is more consistent or powerful doesn't mean there is an actual difference...
ha'
