Hi Tim, Thanks for the analogy, comments after your paragraph.

This is where the moment depicts all past realities impinging in a single point and then expanding to all possible realities in the future. That is everything preceding comes to together to make up the moment, and then helps define everything that will happen. Of course each moment in every place makes this a complicated system, but it is useful when simplifying it to one's own moment. One could envision this constriction of reality into a single moment as a simple physical predictive occurrence, that is, one of determinism. Where our current understanding of physics leaves us, however, is that we do not know how to predict. This is because the math falls apart, and we are left only with probabilities. Therefore in addition to all the static quality which we can conceptualize, we need a dynamic component which we cannot. It is the interplay between these that form our reality. As humans our attempt is to go farther and farther into this dynamic component and make it more static. Gods of old have become physical phenomenon, leading to new Gods.
