Proof of Time

[Tarantism]

What real proof do we have that time is infact a dimension? isnt it equally plausable that we live in one infinate, constatly progressive moment?? :)

[Queso]

could be the fact that time stops on the surface

of a black hole due to the insane

intensity of gravity,

sucking everything in

including light.

 

From this perspective,

there seems to be time,

and there also seems to be

this moment, forever.

 

Iono, man.

[Tarantism]

sounds almost paradoxal.

Hummmm; Constantly progressive moment? Sounds like the passage of time to me. Maybe you could go into a little more detail Tart, I fail to see the difference between your expression and our common understanding of time. Progressive moment equals change and that describes a passing from one state into another.

 

Websters; 'Progressive',.... moving forward.

 

Moving forward; Sounds like a dimension to me. Maybe you could elaborate a bit and explain why your understanding of progressive doesn't mean; 'moving forward'.......................Infy

come to think of it i know almost nothing of black holes. at the risk of going off topic, does anyone care to offer insight as to what the collective may know about them?

[Tarantism]

ah, excellent, infy, i will gladly ellaborate.

 

it starts with one's perception of "moving foreward". instead of thinking of progression as time or progressing numerals, i think what i am trying to express is that perhaps progression is more...erm..."darwinian". what a horrible example, but perhaps the ever changing and evolving surroundings of what we percieve IS progression, but that instead of thinking of the ortations of planets and effects of gravity as examples of time, instead take them at face value, perhaps they arent anything more than what they appear, the effects of gravity. it goes way back in time, humans wondering why sometimes it was light and sometimes it was darker, and therefore that constituted an idae of "time". but, instead think of it and the moving and changing effects of gravity in the cosmos.

 

of course, that could very well be complete bunk. im abou thalf playing the devils advocite here, so bare with me :)

Time is really what we want it to be.... if time really does have its own dimension, its one that we have created ourselves.

 

I'm confusing myself. :)

[Tim_Lou]

isn't it simply for mathmetical conveninces and understandings? since time is not invariant under the lorenz transformation, hence we give it a "dimension".

[Queso]

obviously nobody really understands it.

[Queso]

i love mental time dialation.

experiencing hours, days, weeks, months,

in a moment.

[Tim_Lou]

existence is irrelevant,

time's presence

comes from experiences.

 

without time, nothing changes,

without changes, time is meaningless.

 

from the past to the future

ever second is life's treasure.

[Queso]

sacraments explode

everywhere at all

times.

[Tim_Lou]

blackholes collapse

everything in one

space.

1 tablespoon of black hole matter

weighs

two tons, no?

whoa...

[Tarantism]

yep, sounds quite paradoxal...

[Tarantism]

why do i keep bringing these things up that there isnt a concrite answer to!!! its quite inconvenient because i raelly wanna know :shocked: :eek_big: :D
