Cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman states that the probability that we see reality is zero. (And yes, they have the maths to prove it.)
If we accept that we do not see reality, there is an unsettling possibility that arises. Do we see backward?
In the gas giants, are we seeing light that is so dense (so cold), it’s burning up?
In the rocky planets, are we seeing light that is so diffuse (so hot), it’s freezing?
(The Mpemba effect is an interesting phenomenon.)
Perhaps time has a range—a “floor” and a “ceiling.” When we hit the floor, we paradoxically find ourselves moving forward. When we hit the ceiling, we paradoxically find ourselves moving backward.
