The title of this book is literal and intended for two different but complementary meanings: first because “time” is a treasure chest that may open only when we appreciate its “real nature” , and then we shall discover that our normal time is actually imaginary, and that its real part is nothing but the “space” itself, which acts like the wave-front that is the “chest” of the outward time. Therefore, scientifically speaking, the Chest of Time is the physical vacuum, or empty space, that is the “aether” , or the “quintessence” , that contains huge amount of energy, which we usually call “dark” because we don’t have access to it under our current theories!
And the weird italics and bold are in the original.
Well, my different and complementary critique of this is that it’s shit.
I’m torn between laughing at this and wondering if I’m mocking a seriously ill schizophrenic who’s gone off his meds.
