The picture is exactly correct. Time is a human perception and has been assigned a value by humans. Consequently time is an imperfect tool to use to try and understand space. While time does reflect a measure of change the universe may not care about our efforts to assign it a value that may or may not be relevant to understanding space. Einstein seemed to be obsessed with time and therefore his projections are probably skewed.

What makes you think it does not already exist? FTL actually probably not in our lifetime. Wormhole will be the first FTL technology developed.

>>>paper published in the August Physical Review D, then the universe didn’t bang—it bounced. “A universe filled with matter will contract down to a small—but finite—size and then bounce out again

About five years ago there was a calculation discussed that suggested the temperature of the “universe” would make sense only if there had been a series of prior “big bangs”. By their arithmetic, something like five prior progressively cooling universes would be required to form the current state of physics.

Maybe they were on the right track.

But now Petr Hořava, a physicist at the University of California, Berkeley, thinks he understands the problem. It’s all, he says, a matter of time.

It's About Time!

Still trying after all these years to understand the secrets of the Universe.

“And then the experimentalists (that “Scientific Method” thingy) step in, maps the sphere into an airfoil (viz., Complex Analysis), multiples by zero (an essential step), and then adds the answer (The Crucial Moment).”

Will this work for large values of 2

bump for later

No, I suspect not.

Those are integer values (think discrete) and thus are a limiting factor in their application to, or analysis and understanding of, an analog world (continuous).

Of course, given sufficient refined sugar, say derived from a dozen warm, glazed CrispyCream donuts - my remark might change.

Thanks Daffynition.

Whoops. I just sent the ping to the keyword, which also happens to be a FReeper's name. My apologies.

These are all awesome! Had to stop and listen to some AC/DC for a bit though, LOL!

[autumnraine]

Ok, joining in the fun!

String theory combined with a song that reminds us all of Maximum Overdrive (you’ll understand when you recognize the song). Seriously, check this group out!

light speed limit is only for planar present. If you go to linear the limit rises dramatically, and in volumetric it slows even more dramatically. Imagine seeing a line along it’s axis; you see a point. Now imagine seeing a plane along its axis; you see a line. Viewing a volume along its axis is tough to imagine, but from one point it appears as a plane, from another as a ‘blossom’, etc. We sense in planar present so our view of photons is points which remain in present no matter how far they travel through space, but they are from our perspective past events. To the universe the view is somewhat different, connecting past to future via present. When space was linear not planar or volumetric yet, there were no photons yet, gravitons, because time had no future yet, but no photons yet.

However, in the digital world the DVD players and VCRs are still flashing "1200."

[Ronin]

Errr... yeah.

Now please translate that into something I can possibly understand.
