Time

[AugustaGator]

Researchers say time is an illusion. So why are we all obsessed with it?

Even guardians of America's atomic clocks say time doesn't work the way we think it does.

My definition of time and their definition are different.

What say you engineers and physical!

Ok, I'm out.

Yeah a little deep for a Friday afternoon, a few in no less.

Time depends on movement. If there is no movement, time has essentially stopped.

I had lots of time and movement in your mom

Hey Quickdraw...even in relative terms, 2.7 seconds is not "lots of time".

Time, as we use it, is a measurement of duration from a common starting point. That's why they have keep counting. Conceptually, the shortest duration we could measure is the time it takes for light to traverse the smallest particle we can discern. But TIME is not an inherent physical parameter. Physics happens with or without our observation of duration.

Well this thread went well.

I thought someone would comment on Chanda … a theoretical physicist and a theoretical feminist who hates capitalism.

If I can reach your level of comprehension I agree. I do not see time as a phenomenon except noticing change. The pov is outside the ‘universe’.

I see as a constant regardless of my perception. A body may go to zero Kelvin but others will not. Things will still change. Same with high or low gravity wells. No?

Speaking of time, anyone watched the show Manifest? That’s some trippy shît

Isn’t the opposite true?

As bodies approach the speed of light, time slows down for them relative to stationary bodies.

All I know about time is that it keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’, into the future.
