Meditation and the time wrap

Well meditation is a terminology that has baffled philosophers, scientists and the common man for ages. It is a term which in the hindu mythology takes you out to a transcendental experience where the common soul becomes one with the infinite soul. Sometimes when I ponder what this could be, I am stumped with lack of data about what this feeling is. Sages say that you are a mute spectator to events happening to your body. With such a comment I am compelled to address it with science or rather metaphysics to try address this position with the little knowledge that I possess in the field.
Time is an event, or is it a scale where the clock tells what point you are measuring. Or are we in a stationary world with time moving or time stationary with events happening. The same apple kept on the table is not the same yesterday and today, though the spatial location may be unchanged. The theory of relativity, which I donot understand talks of the fourth dimension of reality namely time.
