I think that time actually tells us alot about the nature of reality. The question has to be asked, why does the universe simulate the time that we experience?

We know from Einstein that the distinctions between past, present and future are an illusion. Hawking talked about imaginary time and real time. He said imaginary time was more real than the time that we experience.

So it seems that time is simulated to make the universe that we are observing seem realer than it is. So the Infinite seems to generate these simulated realities down to the time that we experience. The Infinite also seems to consist of multiple personalities that experience these simulated realities. Those personalities are us.

In some ways it's sort of like the Matrix. When they said certain things already happened and you just have to ask yourself why they happened. It seems we observe time at a slower rate because of decoherence although everything that we will experience has already occured.

So at the beginning of our universe all measurements took place at that instant and we are observers of those measurements or bits. So take Schrodinger's Cat. It's not that both states occur when you open the box, both measured states already exist. So a live and dead cat are two measurements that exists and which measurement we observe is purely random to us but from the point of view from time which measurement we will observe can be known before we make the observation.

So the universe is like a mind filled with measured states and some people call it a quantum computer filled with bits. We observe these measured states. So say someone flips a coin, heads and tails are two states that were measured at the moment of Creation, we just observe the measurement and which measurement we observe is purley random but from the point of view from time which state we will observe can be known simply by traversing up and down are timeline.

I think we are blinded by the boundary of our simulated reality and we think this is it and we are all that there is. The fact is we are just a shadow of a much bigger reality. Some people call it the Holographic Principle and Plato talked about something similar in the Allegory of the Cave.
