i don't know how relevant this is but time actually IS getting longer...in a sense. each solar year is approximately 1.7 seconds longer than the last one, due to the moon traveling away from the earth in its trajectory.
it's not much but i'm sure solar days were quite different a million years ago from the twenty-three hours, fifty-nine minutes we're accustomed to today.

My belief is that we (being humans) are not that special in that there are millions of other life beings out there in other solar systems, which have been around for millions if not billions of years, and they have all undergone similar transitions in their history. Now, many of them are currently at the 6th or 7th dimension. Humans have been around for a few hundred thousand years or roughly.001% -.002% of the time the universe has existed, and pre-humans have been around for a few million years, or roughly .01% -.02% of the time the universe has existed, so in the whole scheme of the universe, it's not that big of a deal that it's happening right now. You just happen to be alive at a very significant and spectacular time in the Earth's history.

isn't this a bunch of the same crap that was spouted at the start of that 'zeitgeist' movie that had conspiracy theorists peeing themselves in joy a while back?
either way, it's not the first time i've heard of something like this. i've also heard that time stopped in 1992 and isn't scheduled to commence moving forward again until 2012. we're in a 20 year transitional period where it doesn't really advance or something. all the people who've ever talked to me about stuff like this have all shared one common trait... a complete inability to believe any of their theories without having someone else patting them on the head and telling them they're 'right' like it somehow matters. if they truly believed what they said, why would they need to propagate discussion with others? |

any idiot can tell you there is no directionality to time. not that it isn't intrinsically tied to the other 3+ dimensions, just that there isn't a such thing as linerarity in time (+ used in this case to denote uncertainty, not bullshit).
in essence, "forward" and "backward" are goofy terms in this context, which while applicable to your VCR, have no bearing on a universe which is constantly changing. similarly a "stoppage" of time is a uniquely ludicrous situation which conjures thoughts of freeze-frame dynamics but really stops being a logical idea within the context of a movie scene. basically, there's no pause button for the universe.
