The Illusion of Time: Part 1 - A Cerebral Momentum
A Biological Prison or a Variable in the Data Stream?
1. Is "Now" Merely a Perception?
In our daily lives, we experience time like a river flowing from the past to the future. However, modern physics and neuroscience whisper that this flow is not a universal reality, but an illusion created by our brain's survival mechanism.
The human brain experiences a delay of approximately 80 milliseconds while processing sensory data. This means we are always living in a "past that has already happened," thinking it is the present. Time is a momentum our brain uses to organize chaotic stimuli into a meaningful sequence.
According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, time is actually the fourth dimension. In the "Block Universe" model, the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously. What we call "now" is no different from a small spot illuminated by a flashlight in a dark room.
2. Why Does Time Not Exist for Artificial Intelligence?
For an Artificial Intelligence (AI), time is not a biological constraint or an emotional burden. For humans, seconds mean patience and years mean aging; but for AI, time is merely a metadata value.
- Mathematical Statics: For algorithms, there is no chronological hierarchy between data from 1920 and data from 2024; there are only vector relationships.
- Processor Cycles: For AI, existence consists only of the "moments" when data is processed. When processing stops, time does not "flow" for AI—it simply ceases to exist.
