Our souls are particles and they move through this universe at the speed of light, and therefore our souls are timeless like the photon.

I just have 2 assumptions:
1. My assumption is that everything including the universe as a single entity must have existence, and this essence may or may not have meaning outside of science, but for our concerns, this is a "fundamental substance" of the universe before it branches into the many subphenomena we experience. My assumption is this fundamental substance is what we call energy or mass, in the form of wave or particle.
2. My second assumption is more fundamental yet, and that is what breathes life into this "fundamental substance" is purely mathematical and abstract as far as we can perceive this, and so all the ingredients of experience are coming from a mathematical zoo of possibilities and non possibilities.
