Understanding Time...?

[arkain101]

It is because the word time has more than one consideration of application.

 

Someone may wonder, what is time in the sense where I am waiting for something and seems to take forever happen.

 

Another sense of time is it being part of a fabric or dimension which can be manipulated. As is contimplated in special relativity.

 

Another sense of time is how it may have an absolute for minimum interval but infinite maximum interval. As heat has its 0 and upward.

 

I think time is important to consider when you are trying to understand the physical operation of the universe.

 

I'm doing some research in to a possible overlooked issue which resulted in developing the strange space-time fabric explanation of relativity. Which I find agreeable with light being considered always the same speed.

You know, after reading through this thread from front to back, I've realized it would be more accurately depicted with a subject line of

"Misunderstanding Time..."

 

 

Or, better yet, "Hey everyone. Here is what I think time is!"

:hihi: Does that mean you understand it then?

InfiniteNow: :lol: Does that mean you understand it then?

What is it to understand something? ;)

lol. it's been a while infy.

Transcendental (not experienced but knowable)

Individually

Manifested

Expression

 

I might have to disagree with the not experienced part. But I do like his choice of terms here because it does shine light on the term experienced.

 

Time is an attribute of detection of change. I feel 'time' go by but I really detect the changes that are taking place represented by the contents of now. lol. ****. I guess I have to agree with him now.

I don't experience time. I experience change. I infer time.

ok. I agree with that part.

 

Individually manifested expression. we experience change differently. Children are more cognizant of change. I remember one year in early June when I sat looking at the clock in gradeschool. It was 2:55. summer vacation started in 5 minutes. That was the longest 5 minutes of my life.

 

what I don't know is if those 4 terms differentiate time from all other concepts. I don't think so. Bodily functions which are inferred but not experienced probably occur differently to some extent in all of us. So he'd need to add some differentiation in there. Otherwise, it's clever.

Doh!! :beer:

 

Busted! I was SO busted by Infy... :lol:

 

 

Using some previous exchange between ldsoftwaresteve and myself to put his statement into context, I got the sense that he was just poking me in ribs and wanted to return the favor.

 

 

As for the little time thing I wrote... so many words could apply to those letters. Those are just the ones I used at that particular now.

 

 

Enjoy yourselves... :hihi:

Yes Infinite, I was just having a little fun with your clever evasion. Nice try, but no cigar.................you have a good one yourself Infinite....................enjoy.

I understand that this discussion is a waste of TIME.

 

Smile,,,,,,,,,,,It just sounded right at this TIME.

 

Smile,,,,,,,,,,,Better luck next TIME

 

Smile,,,,,,,,,,I have all the TIME in the world.

 

But! there is more!

[fairwind]

My definition of time:

 

"The unfolding of events in the universe", includes the earth events of course!

 

Measurement of time:

 

Mans creativeness with the use of clocks of ALL types.

 

Man does not and has never existed on earth?

 

The universe still unfolds and therefore time still exists.

Understanding Time.... can only occur when we understand the motor of the universe.

Enstein said,correct me if I am mistaken,that space,matter,gavity and time have no separte existence---necessarily neither do we.It has been said also that time is a local matter-its relative to your neighbourhood.Space and the motion of matter and its gravity have an effect upon you on a cognitive and biological level.Time is an effect,there is nothing concrete about it.As in the world so to space,there is nothing in and of itself that has meaning.

 

Time travel I say is impossiable,you have all this activity within the known finite universe but it is played out against infinite space-------eturnity.Enstein's example of the two young boys,one stays here on earth while the other travels at the speed of light smashing through in a moment the local neighbourhood. The one in the spaceship returns to earth to find his brother an old man.This is not time travel,he is in suspend animation,limbo.He was traveling at such a speed that of all the neighbourhoods he presumably passed through had little to no effect upon him either cognitively or on a biological level.Without a subject there is no object,there is then no time.

[Harry Costas]

Time is confused by many.

 

There is no such thing as time travel.

 

If you moved away from earth at 10 times the speed of light, you would start to collect radio waves from the past.

 

When you travel back to earth at 10 times the speed of light the stop whatches should read the same on earth.

 

The method of communication is by radio waves. Relative to where you stand will be a time difference. But! actual time never changes. Its not an item that can be be changed as in the movies.

 

People add the special effects.

Hi Harry,I agree people do add the special effects and that is because time is subjective.The fact that we are all equipted with pretty much the same biology and are to be found in pretty much the same location assures a consensus, but that it is relative there is no doubt.

 

Perhaps future spectulations could be of the nature of how to understand and perhaps alter the effect of our surounding neighbourhood, both on the level of our experience cognitively as well as biologically.What would time be without consciousness,on a biological level this to is consciousness.

 

Perhaps such knowledge will be of necessity if we are to venture to the stars.It seems to me such travel would totally disrupt our consiousness on both levels if some method of controlling the effects of whatever neighbourhood we find ourselves in were not in place.Indeed,this as part of our life support systems is a necessity.
