Spacetime and Experience

[Bruins8000]

Could there be a type of experience that doesn’t need to utilize spacetime? THIS is infinite so I imagine in all of its creativity there could be some type of experience humans cannot fathom that doesn’t rely on spacetime. Thoughts?

[A Fellow Lighter]

Experience in the sense of the content of direct observation, no.. there is no such, there cannot be.

Experience is the product of relativity, and relativity is basically like the domain of space-time.

There is no experience. All experience is -- is how consciousness filters itself through organs and mind.

Yes, you're having it now. You could say experience is in spacetime. But you could equally say that spacetime is in experience. Or both at the same time (or is that space?).

It’s hard to talk about. You’re better off safely tripping balls.

Well, spacetime is a construct of consciousness.

Yeah, you can be conscious without that construct.

Thanks for your reply Leo. Can you give an example if you don’t mind?

I can't really give an example because it would be outside of what the human mind can imagine. Your imagination is bound to space-time.

There is no space nor time. All is collapsed into Infinity.

Imagine that you are undergoing surgery in which a wire is cut in your brain and all sensory information is cancelled. not touch, not sensations of the body, such as breathing, not seeing, etc. after that, they put you through another operation and completely wipe your memory. where would you be? when?

It is certainly possible that there could be types of experiences that do not rely on spacetime as we currently understand it. However, it is also important to note that our current understanding of spacetime is based on our best scientific theories and observations of the physical world. These theories have been developed and refined over centuries of scientific investigation, and they have been able to successfully explain a wide range of phenomena and make accurate predictions about the behavior of the physical world.

Space time is created in consciousness. 

It is possible that our current understanding of spacetime may be incomplete or may need to be modified in some way to better explain certain phenomena. For example, some scientists have suggested that there may be additional dimensions beyond the three dimensions of space and one dimension of time that we are familiar with. Alternatively, it is possible that there may be other fundamental principles or laws of nature that govern the behavior of the universe in ways that we do not yet fully understand. Obviously we haven't yet figured out the whole universe. 

However, until we have more evidence and better scientific theories to support these ideas, it is difficult to say for sure whether or not there could be types of experiences that do not rely on spacetime as we currently understand it.

Till then.... Keep contemplating.
