Transcript

00:00I want to understand the concept of time travel or timelessness.

00:03Where does the future come from?

00:05The future comes from the choices that you make today, right?

00:08You are there and the material world is there and you are a creature of choice.

00:13Creature of choice, everything is deterministic and then life is not worth living.

00:16There is no freedom.

00:17If everything is predetermined, where is the question of freedom then?

00:21And freedom is the highest spiritual ideal.

00:23So you are a conscious person and by definition, consciousness is choice.

00:27Which means there are an infinite number of futures possible.

00:32If you say you are traveling into the future, which particular future are you traveling into?

00:36So all this time travel is just fantasy.

00:39A nice thing to entertain the mind, there is not much more in it.
