What is time? Time is You. In economics, if a system is fixed, it is timeless. But, we often see changes everywhere, which is due to time. Multiverse is just a fancy name given to the concept of parallel universe, implying the existence or the study of multiple universe which have come into existence due to big bang.
Let’s take the help of Experimental economics and Islamic economics to solve the mystery of the existence of parallel universe. Imagine, we can travel through time, i.e., both past and future. This implies that our clock can tick counter-clockwise and clockwise both respectively.
Now, suppose, there is an advanced technology at hand which can detect whether the time is running on a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. And also it gives a kind of signal to a ‘Gun’. If the former happens (i.e. if the clock ticks the way it naturally does), then the gun gets fired and kills a cat. On the other hand, nothing happens if the latter takes place. Let’s give all the scenarios going on some notations.
Before moving ahead, let us assume that there is a controlled setting in our experiment where the experimenter controls the technology. That is he/she has two choices: “ON” or “OFF”. Hence we have two cases if we live our natural lives. First, where the experimenter puts on the technology, and second where he puts it off.
Some general notations used:
TON – Means technology is on
TOFF – Means technology is off
GN – Gun stays still
GF – Gun gets fired
CD – Cat dies
CS – Cat survives
Case1: Technology is on.
↻ => TON => GF => CD
When the clock ticks at its natural phenomenon, then the technology gets on by our experimenter, hits the cat, and the cat dies.
Case1: Technology is off.
↺ => TOFF => GN => CS
When the clock ticks on a counter-clockwise direction, then the technology gets off by our experimenter, doesn’t hit the cat and the cat survives.
These two stories till now seems alright. But if we want to explain something beyond this, we should assume that at this very moment in time, wherever you are reading this article, there is some other world which is having its own day-to-day lives going on.
If this is true, then this brings us to the concept to believe that both past and the future can exist at the same time, which calls for a third case.
Case3: Technology is “on-off” at the same time.
[ ↻ + ↺ ] [TON/OFF => GF/N => CD/S]
Now, opening up the brackets, we multiply both the scenarios and get both the previous cases coexisting at the same time. This third case brings us to the concept of time travel. Let’s get the equation going:
[ ↻ => TON => GF => CD] +
[ ↺ => TOFF => GN => CS]
Here, in this case we get an abnormality, which doesn’t seem Rational at the first look. So what is happening? Both! The cat dies + the cat survives, both at the same time. What does this mean? It means we have a cat which is a zombie! But wait, how’s that possible, no one has ever seen a zombie. This points out our economic experiment to call off. Now, in order to explain, how this dead-alive scenario may possibly exist, we take help of Islamic economics.
“You’ll only see what you are shown, and those who have got the power to see things, they see what you don’t”
Not to misinterpret the above quote, got the power from whom? From Allah (God)! Who has got the power? Any living creature, whether animals or humans or supernatural entity.
Now, let’s see what this would look like. This quote basically implies that if you get into time-travel, you experience things yourself. Remembering that we have three time frames; past, future, and the summation of the first two. Let’s time travel.
[ ↻ => TON => GF => CD] Y +
[ ↺ => TOFF => GN => CS] Y
Where Y stands for you.
Thus, again opening up the brackets would mean that you enter both the time frame, where one you experience a dying cat, while the other you experiences a happy living cat. But this still means that at one time point you cannot have an overlapping zone and see the other you. Hence, this is why we are unable to see a zombie cat. But, this doesn’t mean that a zombie exists! I’m trying to explain the concept of Multiverse which is possible. Edited and simplified version of the Erwin Schrodinger's Cat hypothesis.
Let’s understand this with an easier example. When you visited a beach as a child, you always wondered what is there on the other side of the ocean. If yes, then you were unable to find the answer to your paradoxical situation you were in. this means, you never had that amount of knowledge which would answer that on the other side of the ocean there is still a world like ours, who may be enjoying the same water of the same ocean as us. If you are getting to what I’m trying to explain then move on further.
According to the verses of the holy Qur’an, Surat al-fatihah (1:2); “Praise be to Allah, the cherisher and the sustainer of the worlds”. Notice, the plural form used by the Almighty. This means that God is the creator, sustainer and controller of all the worlds in our universe. This includes any inhabitants. I’m not saying aliens which you see in movies, and I really don’t know whether they exist or not. Because, Allah (God) hasn’t given us any clue in the Qur’an regarding that. He has just made us (humans) and the Jinns (more on this later). And here, inhabitants mean any creature which only Allah knows because he has all the knowledge and he knows best. But, what we can infer from here implies that there is just not our earth where life exists, there are innumerable possibilities about anything. This may sound abrupt for the first time, but with proofs I would explain that Qur’an has explained a majority of science 1400 years back which science proved it recently. Let’s start off with a major one.
THE BIG-BANG THEORY
In 1916, Albert Einstein formulated his General theory of Relativity that pointed on the fact that the universe must be expanding or contracting.
According to NASA, in 1927, an astronomer named Georges Lemaitre explained that the universe started as a single point and is expanding. Just two years later, in around 1929, Edwin Hubble noticed and proved that other galaxies were moving away from us and they were expanding.
It is indeed astonishing for a person to believe that what we came to know in the 1900s, was already mentioned in the holy Qur’an 1400 years back, well before Einstein’s and Edwin Hubble’s law. The proofs are as follows:
“And the heaven We created with might, and indeed We are its expander” (Qur’an 51:47)
“He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth” (Qur’an 6:101)
The big bang theory states that around 18 billion years ago the universe came into existence from one single extremely hot dense point, and that something triggered the explosion of this point that brought about the beginning of the universe.
“The heavens and the earth were joined together as one unit before We clove them asunder” (Qur’an 21:30)
“Do not the disbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were a closed-up mass, then we opened them out?” (Qur’an 21:31)
Other proof being the explanation of water cycle, the moon reflects the light of the sun, and also the reproduction in the plant kingdom, to name a few, have been mentioned in the Qur’an 1400 years back which science proved recently.
Once this is clear, we end up explaining the extra-terrestrial form which exists and is un-seen to our eyes. Initially, scientists believed that space and matter consisted of 4-dimensions, namely length, width, height, and time (L, B, H, and T). But, with the discovery of the dark matter, scientists have found that at least 13- dimensions exists which are beyond our comprehension. One example is “Jinns”. We are unable to see them because it is beyond our capability. For example, it is said that dogs bark for two reasons, one, when they see a thief or an unknown person, second, when they see ‘shaytaan (satan)’. While horses ‘neigh’ when they see angels. When this is true, it boils down to the fact that there are bodies which travel from other worlds into ours, it’s just that we are veiled from sight!
Just like you cannot see a data being transferred via Bluetooth or any application, you just know that it’s getting transferred from one phone to another; you cannot see the line via which the data is travelling. Similarly, you are unable to see things which other animals can see, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
The Qur’an refers to the realm which is beyond the reach of human perception as ‘al-ghayb’, while God is spoken as the sustainer of the worlds (rabb al-alameen). He is the creator and owner and it is He who knows all the ‘ghayb’. And, as always, “Allah knows best”. (Qur'an 29:19).

Very true , even I believe in time travel but there are things which we cannot understand yet undefined .
ReplyDeleteSo many theories out the with many possibilities. We can only speculate at this time in human evolution, however it was a very good and imformative article. We all have our beliefs and I think at some point all religions are linked After all religion is relatively a new human concept. I do wonder if we will have ground breaking answers in my lifetime . A good read taha
ReplyDeleteThank you so much sir!
