TIME

QUESTIONS; DOES TIME MOVE AT A CONSTANT SPEED OR DOES TIME IN THE PAST MOVE SLOWER THAN TIME IN THE PRESENT OR THE FUTURE? WILL TIME SELF ADJUST? DOES TIME MOVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE OR DOES IT FORM AN ARC TO FORM AN EVENTUAL TIME CIRCLE? WILL IT BE THE END OF TIME AS WE KNOW IT WHEN THE CIRCLE CLOSES? /ttiforum/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
 
I believe time is the measurement of a universal speed at which matter exists. If my atoms move at the same rate yours do (and everyone else on the planet), we all see time at the same speed. This might be different for other types of matter, or in other parts of the universe. Certainly it would be different around strong gravitational fields.

As far as the circle idea, I find it very unlikely that time itself, being only a measurement, should take on a property like that. But, since matter is tied to time-- in that matter travels over a distance in a period of time, you could be asking if the universe will collapse on itself. Of course that is a common theory, but I still don't buy it.
 
Time is a human measurement to explain expanse. serves to place events. Time is truly irrelevant, does not exist, it is human made.
 
So your saying time didn't exist before man evolved in, hang on a minute (a man made time measurement in case you didn't know), some sort of time before time? I agree that the measurement of time is man-made, but as for the actual existence of time, that is undeniable.

Time as you call it can not be measured as for it is not fully understood to begin with. "Time" is simply created to date existance and evolution.

Ask simple questions:
"When" did time comence?
How did time comence?
Why is time existing?
Who invented time?

Time is a factor that humans use to understand evolution. what if you were told that what you consider "time" is in fact simple trivial expanse of mass!
 
Likewise you must answer these questions to prove to me it is something different.
Like you said 'Ask simple questions', I'm saying answer them.

They are all the same question with the same basic answer.


Time is irrelevent, time as you use it is non excistant, time is human made.

Expansion of the masses is what humans persive as time.

The answer was already answered.
 
Genuinely interesting......if it wasn't I'd still be arguing, (well you've seen what happens to people that argue with me and don't come up a good point).

"When" did time comence?

- When the first particle/object existed and moved over a duration of time. If every particle in the universe were to come to a dead stand-still, there would be no measurement of time.

How did time comence?

- A better question would be, "how did the first particle come into existence, and why did it start moving?"

Why is time existing?

- The same reason objects are moving.

Who invented time?

- The forces that act on objects that cause them to move about.
 
To a certain extent you are correct, although time was not created by a particle that started to move in "space". Time is a human factor here.

"time" does not have the same significance anywhere. Thus can not be generalized by human calculation.

What is persived as an hour here could be months in another planetary system. While orbiting Mars "time" is not exactly the same as when you are orbiting Earth but humans calculate it the same way none the less!
 
Well that goes without saying; surely.
Time measurement is definitively a human creation and it could have been done differently, yes.
Likewise the concept of time in itself, units or not, maybe a human one too, though it is VERY unlikely.

AlienChild,

Call it what you will. Regardless of the units used to calculate "time," there is an overall logic to the idea that particles do move over a definable amount of space in a definable duration of "time." Any intelligent being that cannot place a definition on this concept would not be very observant.
 
In fact, that is exactly was I have alway said.

As for being in Ottawa Canada as you spoeculate, please read previous posts. Being a child I am not.

It is nice to see poeple assume that what they see being the truth.
 
Humm, being a child I am not is speaking like yoda adn here I thought I was using proper English!

What you see as the thruth is only an assumption on your part!
 
Technically,

"Being a child, I am not", Is proper english. In fact, Im surprised an 'American' is using it this way.

Kind regards,
Olly

Please explain this in a way that actually makes sense. So how is time a "simple trivial expanse of mass"?.

So are you pretending to be an alien again after you admitted to being a hoax before?
