It seems there really is no time... deep but very interesting.

Confusing as the absence of time would be, there is mounting evidence that at the most basic level of reality, time is an illusion. Stranger still, laboratory tests with laser lights and advances in our understanding of string theory—the proposed framework positing that particles are composed of small threads of energy—independently point to the idea that time doesn’t really exist.

I love watching all these shows on space,time and physics even though I am not smart enough to get it.
Here's another show to watch if you want to become even more confused

LMAO Time really exists brother? Just look in your mother's eyes, if you're still fortunate enough to have her! She's seen enough. Time? Didn't cost her a thing, and she would do it all over again. Scientists talking about (%*^. Time, what is and what isn't? When scientists can talk intelligently about the soul, then I'll 'perk' up and listen. Until then...


I'll just sit back, enjoy the love, that is timeless! God knows no time! You want to see God in all of his 'glory?' Look at a good mother. This (%*^ isn't rocket science. Just down to earth, things that matter!

Very interesting read, I'm a science junky and cannot wait for more breakthroughs in quantum entanglement.

Imagine a reality where we can all cut and bulk at the same time Amirite?

Fascinating article and completely above my pay grade to comment on.

I'll have to watch this later today. An hour long requires a bit of planning ahead.

Time is one of those things we all feel it but I think we all know inside that there's something more or less to it than we can grasp.

The problem is that we ascribe absolutes to a unit of measure which is built on something that is variable.

Time is more about perception than reality.

Well farkin-A! no wonder I can't get anything done! There's no time to do it in!



Seriously, I don't believe time exists either. But then again, neither do we, at least not as we think we do.

More than slightly related, cosmologists and theoretical physicists are beginning to say, in more technical terms, what eastern philosophies (Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist) have said and believed for millennia. It kind of makes you think.

Time is more about perception than reality.

An idea on which volumes and volumes in the corpus of ancient eastern (and modern) literature have been written.

Eventually Quantum Physics will see the face of God.

Yes indeed, I believe that. I have a perception of God that falls in line with that, but that's just me and a few other panendeists kicking around.

I think in so far as our individual perception of length of time, each unit of time is relative to the total number of units perceived. Compare an hour a 2 year old experiences versus an hour a hundred year old experiences. Because the hour comprises a far greater percent of the whole to a two year old than the 100 year old, it's perceived length is far greater.

This theory is how I am building my alternate universe where only productive people can join. I'm building a dome that interrupts the quantum entanglement of matter that enters it. This creates the perception on the outside world that things in my alternate universe is static and doesn't exist, while on the inside everything has relation and can be measured against one another, thus giving us a new world in which time and space are separate from the outside world.

This is precisely why the three minute time out is so effective.

The gist of the article would be that your perception of time as relative as it may appear is just an illusion and not real nor relative at all.

There are theories that not only is time an illusion but the entire universe is an illusion.

In fact there have been experiments done recently that hint at the universe being a complex simulation.

Reality is weirder than we can imagine.

In your universe will all our time be spent eating, sleeping or training?

We watch and try and read about this stuff a lot.. and it hurts my brain.. and you know what.. it doesn't really help with anything.

You know what I mean? yes it is interesting.. and it might help us think about life on other planets... but it doesn't help me that much.

I do try and live for the moment and feel as much about the now.. not sit on my phone or spend too much time on the net etc...

Life might be an illusion.. but I feel something.. sometimes it's good sometimes it is bad.. but it is real to me so I am going to stick with that.. but keep reading and learning
