See what’s become of me, while I looked around for my possibilities.
Nothing new. Democrats have lived in an alternate universe for decades.
“I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is ‘Who in the world am I?’ Ah, that’s the great puzzle!” -Alice
Unfortunately, they’re forcing the rest of us to live in it.
So an anti-gravity device would work by stopping time?
Or would stop time while it was working?
SA has left the world of science, and has entered the world of science-fiction.
They won’t give up on alternate ‘universes’ and parallel ‘universes.’ Oh yeah, and the ‘multiverse.’
This is not science.
These other ‘universes’ can not exchange information with us. We can not perceive them. So that puts them out of the realm of science, and into the realm of imagination.
BTW, time does not have an arrow, and the equations are wrong.
When they cannot make something fit, they build a new box.
There is only one UNI-verse. There maybe a lot of the universe we haven’t seen or don’t understand but there can be only one, that is what UNI means.
There is no alternate universe except in their minds.
There is only what we know, what we think we know and what we don’t know.
They just cannot admit there are things they just don’t know.
“We remember the past, not the future, and we grow old and decrepit, not young and rejuvenated. For us, time has a clear and irreversible direction. It flies forward like a missile, equations be damned.”
I think the answer to this problem is actually quite simple, and all basically explained by relativity, if you just look at things from a slightly different perspective.
The issue is that the math seems to predict things can move backward or forward in time, but we only perceive ourselves moving forward, at a fairly constant rate. The issue is not with the nature of time, but with our nature, as it is our consciousness that creates the appearance of a conflict.
So, the real question is: what causes us to only be able to see one small “slice” of time? We cannot see the future, but we also cannot see the past (we can only remember it). If it weren’t for our capacity for memory, we might be completely oblivious to the phenomenon we call time to begin with!
Now, my hypothesis as to why we perceive time this way is based on a thought experiment of imagining what the universe would appear to be if you were a photon, that somehow had a consciousness similar to ours. A photon travels through space at a constant speed, the speed of light. It cannot go faster, or slower, and because of the speed at which it travels, there are very interesting relativistic consequences. Even though an outside observer would perceive the photon’s journey to have a definite duration, the photon itself could not perceive this. Due to the principle of time (and length) dilation, in whatever direction the photon travels, the length of the entire universe ahead of it would be compressed to a single plane. In other words, the photon could only “see” a single slice of distance, which it would believe it was traversing instantaneously!
This is basically a perpendicular situation as to what we experience with regards to time, and the situations are comparable because relativity also posits that time is itself a spatial dimension, which can be mathematically represented using the same equations and subject to the same rules as spatial dimensions. So, what if, like the photon, the time dimension is being contracted for us due to relativity? Our travel through time does not seem instantaneous, so it could not be a total contraction, but if we were traveling somewhere near to the speed of light, in an “imaginary” direction (mathematically speaking), such as to contract the dimension of time to nearly a single plane, it might result in a perception of time similar to ours.
Please wake me up when they have an experiment to confirm or deny their model. Until then, it is just mere speculation.
Being able to perceive a thing is not the test. There are a lot of things we can't (or couldn't) perceive that are far from residing solely in the realm of imagination: The atom, the future, radio waves, the curvature of the earth, numbers, etc.
I feel like I’m living in a different Universe everytime I see the Pretender in Chief on tv.
The science is settled and must never be challenged.
Tats strange.....I was thinking the same thing just the other day
I haven’t researched it but my theory is that the term uni-verse is a purely Christian term.
Uni = One
Verse = Word/phrase.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Oh, that. Call it a work in progress.
How do we know that none of our memories are from the future? does the future, or even the past really exist or is right here and now the only existence? Unlike God, who created time and Whom exists outside of it, we are stuck in it. I fully intend to reverse the aging/becoming decrepit and to assume a new perfect eternal body somewhere down the line. or is that up the line?
We can conceive/imagine far more than we can comprehend - it keeps life interesting. Praise God for His gifts!
