## Details

The video’s title is reference to the concept known as “Subliminal stimuli”, which is a neuroscientific process involving stimulus that is sub-threshold. This ties in with the “sub- threshold” and “stimulus” tags. A 2012 review of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies shows that subliminal stimuli activate specific regions of the brain despite participants being unaware. Visual stimuli may be quickly flashed before an individual can process them, or flashed and then masked, thereby interrupting the processing. Audio stimuli may be played below audible volumes or masked by other stimuli.

One of the tags is “pyramids”. While this could be a reference to Egyptian pyramids, excerpts of the description point towards Maslow’s hierarchy of needs:

“Self-actualization” is the only piece of the hierarchy that makes part of the video tags, suggesting this is the component most important. The rest of the needs follow in the description, following under “The road to transcendence”. The order of the needs are scrambled in the description. Beneath them are entries part of “Sub-threshold stimulus”.

“Measurements of physical properties performed on entangled particles are found to be perfectly correlated.” - Quantum Entanglement

> “Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon that occurs when a pair or group of particles are generated, interact, or share spatial proximity in a way such that the...state of each particle of the pair or group cannot be described independently of the state of the others, including when the particles are separated by a large distance..
>
>

> Measurements of physical properties such as position, momentum, spin, and polarization performed on entangled particles can, in some cases, be found to be perfectly correlated. For example, if a pair of entangled particles is generated such that their total spin is known to be zero, and one particle is found to have clockwise spin on a first axis, then the spin of the other particle, measured on the same axis, will be found to be counterclockwise. However, this behaviour gives rise to seemingly paradoxical effects: any measurement of a property of a particle results in an irreversible wave function collapse of that particle and will change the original quantum state. In the case of entangled particles, such a measurement will affect the entangled system as a whole.”

“Time is not real.” - /738387/Time-not-real

“Time is not real” is more a statement than a quote. However an article was published on Tuesday, Feb 18, 2020 with the quote in its title:

> “The concept of time is simply an illusion made up of human memories, everything that has ever been and ever will be is happening RIGHT NOW. That is the theory according to a group of esteemed physicists who aim to solve one of the universe’s mysteries. Most people do not even consider the concept of time but there is nothing in the laws of physics to state that it should move in the forward direction that we know. The laws of physics are symmetric ultimately meaning that time could have easily moved in a backward direction as it does forward. Indeed some adherents to the ‘big crunch’ theory say time WILL run backwards when the universe stops expanding and starts contracting back in on itself. This conundrum as to why we interpret time in a forward motion has led scientists to question why. Inevitably, some have concluded that time is simply human construct. They argue that there is a ‘block-universe’ where time and space are connected, otherwise known as spacetime. The theory, which is backed up Einstein’s theory of relativity, states that space and time are part of a four dimensional structure where everything thing that has happened has its own co- ordinates in spacetime. This would allow everything to be ‘real’ in the sense that the past, and even the future, are still there in spacetime – making everything equally important as the present. Massachusetts Institute of Technology physicist Max Tegmark, told space.com: "We can portray our reality as either a three-dimensional place where stuff happens over time, or as a four-dimensional place where nothing happens [‘block universe’] — and if it really is the second picture, then change really is an illusion, because there's nothing that's changing; it's all just there — past, present, future. “We have the illusion, at any given moment, that the past already happened and the future doesn't yet exist, and that things are changing. “But all I'm ever aware of is my brain state right now. The only reason I feel like I have a past is that my brain contains memories.”

> Julian Barbour, a British physicist who has authored several books on the subject of time, describes everything as a series of “nows”. Dr Barbour told physicist and author Adam Frank in the book ‘About Time: Cosmology and Culture at the Twilight of the Big Bang’: "As we live, we seem to move through a succession of Nows, and the question is, what are they?” He explains, adding to the spacetime theory where everything has its own place: “You can think of it as a landscape or country. Each point in this country is a Now and I call the country Platonia, because it is timeless and created by perfect mathematical rules.” He adds that what we perceive as the past is simply an illusion formed in our brain. Dr Barbour: "The only evidence you have of last week is your memory. But memory comes from a stable structure of neurons in your brain now.

The statement that time does not exist - at least from the quote and article’s standpoint - stems from the philosophy of time and various different concepts such as Eternalism and the arrow of time. The arrow of time appears later in the Silent Moth timeline in a quote in the *Katabasis.txt*.

The premise that time does not exist stems from Einstein’s theory of relativity that postulates the existence of a 4th temporal dimension. In this dimension exists all moments of spacetime. This by conclusion means all moments in time exist simultaneously. Time is thus an illusion, as quoted by Einstein, in that it is the perception and bias of time that creates time. An attempt to understand time linearly creates an arrow of time that moves forward, and with some paradoxes, can also move backwards. The existence of a 4th temporal dimension however postulates time is not an arrow - it can flow forward, backwards, and can loop around itself in knots:

The other side of the psychological passage of time is in the realm of volition and action. We plan and often execute actions intended to affect the course of events in the future. From the Rubaiyat:

“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit.

Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”

— Omar Khayyám (translation by Edward Fitzgerald).”

## Theories

It isn’t known how far the KGB are willing to go with this neuro-scientific process, but it could explain the imagery behind the *Nitegrow* video in that *Nitegrow* might be a pun on Night Glow - suggesting *Nitegrow*’s images concern bioluminescent mushrooms - or that it is referencing Magic Mushrooms, a type of psychedelic drug similar to LSD.
