Okay so first I need to get this out of the way, this is completely unrelated to any religious beliefs and is based solely on the thought "what if". With that said I would like all readers to keep an open mind about this regardless of your beliefs.
This thought process is solely based on the idea of your own thoughts and memories and it's extremely important that you think about it while you read this otherwise you won't be able to properly think about the main point of this thought process.
So with all that out of the way let's begin. To start with let's go with what we know, we all know that the beginning of our memories is the moment we were born, we cannot possibly retrieve memories beyond this point, and technically we really can't pull any memories beyond a certain age where our brain is able to store memories properly.
For everyone this is true, and for the most part people never really give it much thought. But here is something to think about, for everyone our earliest memory is the "beginning of time" for us, we have no concept of time before birth, all of these crazy things happened before we were born thousands of years ago but for us it was a matter of a millisecond, it's as if it never happened.
So now let's expand that thought, if life before birth is simply something we are unaware of and that our birth itself is the "beginning of time" and that our life and memories are our eternity, then what about our "end of time" death. Could it also be the same? Where your time "stops" at your moment of death and nothing else really happens. For everyone else the moment is like an instant, it happens so fast. But for the person who dies I wonder how slow time moves for them in that critical moment.
Keep in mind again that this isn't meant to be a religious thought, this is meant to be a what if thought just to get people thinking. I was simply sitting here thinking about time before birth which lead to another thought which lead to this post.
