Relativity suggests that all referential frames of time are equally valid, right? This makes time seem so...redundant to me. Is it possible that time is really transposed. That is all events are occurring simultaneously. Of course this does not explain why we perceive time in a linear fashion. Perhaps our brains are incapable of crunching that much data and evolved to perceive only one timeline?
To clarify I have been thinking of time like multi-threading in a cpu. Multiple time lines are occurring in parallel like this:
-----------------
-----------------
-----------------
but our brains can only process one of those threads and we trudge along blissfully unaware of all that is going on.
I mentioned this idea to someone but he told me that relativity disproves my theory in a 4-d universe and that parallel time requires 7-8 dimensions(he also claimed that branching time requires 5) but he never explained why/how this was true.
Have my concerns about time already been addressed?
