In this post i will explain how everything in my entire life is happening at the same time and also at every time.
Many of you may have heard of the theory of special relativity. If not, I strongly recommend that you watch this video before reading on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajhFNcUTJI0
Ok so basically, despite what seems obvious, time is not a constant! Time slows down when your velocity increases. This means that what happens at a certain time relative to one observer can be a completely different event at the same 'time' to another observer as their velocities throughout their lives will be different.
So how Does this relate to the title? Well, lets take an exact point in time for example exactly 14 billion years after the big bang (very rough number). To one observer I died last Wednesday of old age. However to another observer who has been travelling at a very high velocity throughout his life, time has been passing a lot more slowly and therefore in his perspective I am not even born yet and I will be born tomorrow. This is why it is possible that i was born tomorrow and i will die last Wednesday. But wait, there is another aspect of time which we don't consider in our daily lives. This is the fact that there is no set rate for time. This means that what seems like a second to you could be my hour and someone else's week or even month.
