John Hagelin is an American particle physicist. He has contributed to the development of unified field theory through his work at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC).
The one-electron universe postulate, proposed by John Wheeler in a telephone call to Richard Feynman in the spring of 1940, hypothesises that all electrons and positrons are actually manifestations of a single entity moving backwards and forwards in time.
According to Feynman: “ I received a telephone call one day at the graduate college at Princeton from Professor Wheeler, in which he said, "Feynman, I know why all electrons have the same charge and the same mass" "Why?" "Because, they are all the same electron!"[1]

This is super interesting, So every electron, even when there are groups of electrons, are all the same electron at different points in it's "lifespan"?
The idea is based on the world lines traced out across spacetime by every electron. Rather than have myriad such lines, Wheeler suggested that they could all be parts of one single line like a huge tangled knot, traced out by the one electron. Any given moment in time is represented by a slice across spacetime, and would meet the knotted line a great many times. Each such meeting point represents a real electron at that moment.
At those points, half the lines will be directed forward in time and half will have looped round and be directed backwards. Wheeler suggested that these backwards sections appeared as the antiparticle to the electron, the positron.
Yoichiro Nambu later applied it to all production and annihilation of particle-antiparticle pairs, stating that "the eventual creation and annihilation of pairs that may occur now and then is no creation or annihilation, but only a change of direction of moving particles, from past to future, or from future to past."[3]

The most simple of symbols. Yet the less understood. The Circumpunct.
Ancients knew it.
Keter is so sublime, it is called in the Zohar "the most hidden of all hidden things", and is completely incomprehensible to man.
The name of God associated with Keter is Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh (Hebrew: אהיה אשר אהיה), the name through which he revealed himself to Moses from the burning bush.[4] "It is from the name Ehyeh that all kinds of sustenance emanate, coming from the source, which is the infinite".

Time is an invention of Man, a measurement. It serves no real purpose but to keep us accountable, and managed. It allows us to catalogue things, and events in order but you don't really need time to do that.
If you remove time from the equation, what do you get?

There is and there is not time. Paradox.
We are within "Eternal Now" but yet "Times they are a Changin"...
At least according to Bob Dylan.
