Time is NOT real: Physicists show EVERYTHING happens at the same time

TIME is not real - it is a human construct to help us differentiate between now and our perception of the past, an equally astonishing and baffling theory states. Some physicists think that if the universe started collapsing instead of expanding, then time would go backwards, but it seems that we would still perceive time as going forward.

An excellent podcast by John T Harvey. He seems to have exactly the same political and economic views as me, and his host does too. And guess what, he's English, a London boy, like me, and he was born in Edgware, about 14 miles from where I was born, in Deacon Street, Southwark, and we're about the same age too.
