Time Dilation

I have long been interested in the true definition of time and as usual, I was reviewing a video about time dilation today. What I find interesting about time is that it only seems to move in a forward direction in our current reality. It would make sense to me that if I can move forward in time, I should be able to move backward as well, and perhaps even move outside of time. I suppose that we do move through time in many different directions all the time, but only through our consciousness. It appears that no matter how much we move through time consciously, our physical nature and our reality only seem to move forward. I have often thought that our bodies are simply programmed to progress and not digress just like we might do for a computer or a car, where everything is based on some type of predetermined coding. Does this mean that our past simply disappears and no longer exists? Or does everything that happens to us simply get stored in some type of database somewhere in the universe or the fabric of space-time?

I believe that all of us would like to think that our existence is not just some random happening that comes and goes without any meaningful purpose. It is easy to chock up the past existing for each of us based on the stored memories of our minds, however, it would be nice to know that we make a difference without our existence. There are some interesting theories and experiences that point to the fact…
