The new theory proposed by Dr. Bradford Skow, an associated professor of philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) indicates that if we were to look down on the universe, we would actually observe time and events spreading out in all directions.

The researchers indicates that time should be regarded as a dimension of spacetime, as relativity theory holds — so it does not pass by us in some way, because spacetime doesn’t.

Instead, time is part of the uniform larger fabric of the universe, not something moving around inside it.

According to a scientist, everything that has happened, and everything that will happen is in fact occurring at this very moment as time is positioned in space.

Dr. Skow agrees that while things change and we see time as if it were passing, Dr. Skow believes that we are in a ‘scattered conditions’ and that different parts of time may be dotted around the infinite universe.

“The block universe theory says you’re spread out in time, something like the way you’re spread out in space. We’re not located at a single time.”Dr. Skow believes that in a so-called ‘block universe- a theory which states that the past, present and future exist simultaneously.
The new ‘controversial’ theory is backed up by Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity which indicates that space and time are in fact part of an intricate four-dimensional structure where everything that has occurred has its own coordinates in space-time.
