Time Exchange

When I bought a stereo in Shanghai in 1995, JS gave a VCD. The opening was a wine bottle flying in space. As the bottle shattered, there was a round of applause celebrating the test flight of the new Enterprise. The most impressive thing is the mud splashed when the spacecraft hit the ground, and the other is the time sink. There is no concept of time in Shihui. There is nothing in the mind. There is no pain, no happiness, no death, no fear. I think it can be defined as a three-dimensional space without a time axis. Huili has become a reality. If you look alike, what is the meaning of living in this space? The goal that people are struggling to pursue is actually the process of pursuit. Once the pursuit is lost, life is meaningless. This is my superficial understanding.
Extended Reading
-
Picard: Guinan, can I leave the Nexus?
Guinan: Where would you go?
Picard: I don't understand.
Guinan: Well, as I said, time has no meaning here. So if you leave, you can go anywhere, any time.
Picard: All right, I know exactly where I want to go. To the mountaintop on Veridian III just before Soran destroyed the star. I have to stop him, but I need help. Now, if you were to come back with me, together...
Guinan: I can't leave. I'm there already, remember? But I bet I know someone who can. And from his point of view, he just got here, too.
Picard: [cut to him approaching a cabin in the woods and seeing someone chopping wood] Kirk. James T. Kirk.

Kirk: Come on in. It's all right; it's my house. At least it used to be. I sold it years ago.
Picard: I'm Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship... Enterprise.
Kirk: The clock.
[going to a clock on a mantelpiece]
Kirk: I gave this clock to Bones.
Picard: I'm from what you would consider the future, the 24th century.
Kirk: [hearing a bark and seeing a dog in the doorway] Butler!
[petting him]
Kirk: Butler. How can you be here? He's been dead seven years.
Antonia: [off-screen] Come on, Jim. I'm starving. How long are you gonna be rattling around in that kitchen?
Kirk: Antonia. What are you talking about? The future? This is the past. This is nine years ago.
[opening a box and taking out a gold horseshoe]
Kirk: The day I told her I was going back to Starfleet.
[going to the kitchen]
Kirk: These are Ktarian eggs, her favorite. I was preparing them to soften the blow.
Picard: I know how real this must seem to you, but it's not. This isn't really your house. We are, both of us, caught up in some kind of temporal nexus.
Kirk: [cracking the eggs into a skillet] Dill.
Picard: I beg your pardon?
Kirk: Dill weed. In the cabinet, second shelf to the left. Behind the oregano.
