No, I can't explain much of anything related to time, physics and the mind. There seems to be a lot of different ideas about time these days and I am far from qualified to adjudicate the contradictions. Tim Anderson has pointed out in the fifth dimension concept that he, Lisa Randall and others propose, time does not have the arrow we assume. It also seems clear from multiple sources that the linear concept we have of past to present to future doesn't apply to physics. As Atmanspacher and others noted in discussions of dual aspect monism, mind or consciousness perceives the linear progression of time and the arrow pointed toward the future, but physics which operates in space does not. Can't say I understand much of any of this. But, it is fun to contemplate.
