We experience that perception in a linear fashion from life to death. Since perception is linear to time, doesn't it follow that memroy is? We can "rewind" that hard drive and view images and "memories" , but I thought it was a common concept that memory is like history in that it's a timeline. Am I that far off base?I really can't tell cause you sound exponentially more incoherent with every added sentence here. Anyway, you cannot rewind the tape as suggested. Research shows that memory gets rephrased, adapted and altered over time. In fact human memory is so unreliable that any serious court of justice thinks it is a problem.
