If you were to 'go back' 100 years from
your current time then the time you experience would be relative to the time
that you came from.
The properties of your home-time would
still permeate your perceptual facilities, body, etc. Your interpretation of
the past-time would be heavily influenced by what you still are.
(e.g., your body, etc., would still be
linked to +100-time for a while. Even after you have adjusted, it would still
not be the same world as in your picture books, but somewhat different because
of the assumptions, etc., you have brought to your perception of it.)
In fact, the world 100 years previous
would probably look and feel much like your world of today when you first
arrive. It would be a strange, world, indeed. But filled with representations
that you can relate to. Much like your dream world.
We perform this feat quite often. We
interpret the past-oriented events and energies from our current perceptual
framework.
Your memories of past, for example, are
actually perceptions of an other now possibility.
It seems much different so you place it
in past and give it its own logical narrative. A-B-C=present, etc. (It's the
same as we do with space, placing less-relative spaces at greater and greater
distances. However, it could be said that, for example, a village in Morocco
today is more relative to your 'now' than is your own body 10 years previous.)
To answer your question, 'going back' 10
years would produce a similar effect.
We create the time-line. It's just our
brand of logic. Someone else would have a different time-line in their own
realm of logic. There is as much logic as there are possibilities.
Evidence of one of these possibilities,
such as photos, would certainly be interesting.
But I believe they would create a much
less interesting, even technical, kind of debate on the medium rather than the
message. I doubt this world needs any more black/white, yes/no camps than it
has already.
Something even greater than photos this
way comes. I'm going to "push" the current experience into what would
be called the distant future.
The world a few very interesting photos
or videos would create does not compare to the world an "instructional
guide" would create. Why show you a picture when I can just take you
there, instead?
Can you imagine a piece of paper that
performs the same function as a galaxy filled with supercomputers? Being able
to 'teleport' to an other dimension from the extended sound of your own voice?
Learning a language 500x more efficient than English and, thus, being able to
process information exponentially faster than you currently do as you begin to
think in it instead of slow and cumbersome English?
As is said..
"watch this space"
