These physicists are confusing themselves with their own equations.

I am not great at math, but even I know that time exists.

My advice to these physicists is the following: When your mathematical equations cause you to give consideration to absurdities, it’s time to step away from the chalk board and take a nice long walk along the creek on a spring day.

That will clear things up for you.

Well there is something that effects how clocks speed up or slow down relative to velocity of an object around a gravity well. They have to make adjustments and program the software of space craft timing instruments because they would fall behind timing instruments on Earth becuase time passage is slower for a high velocity object relative to time on Earth. GPS would never work without adjustments to their clocks relative to clocks on the ground...time has to be set a little faster to stay meshed with receivers on Earth.

I’m not talking latency or how fast a radio signal gets to a sattelite and back again.

“Time is an Illusion.....Lunchtime doubly so”

It took more than 100 posts for that?

Time is an effect of entropy. The movement from order to disorder. Until we come up with a way to unbreak an egg, it’s gonna continue only one direction.

That’s the point.

It’s easy to get grants when you don’t have to actually preform or provide evidence.

Another casualty of Liberalism.

I’ve always thought of “time “ as an invention of humans. We perceive changes in our world and use devices to gauge these changes and regulate our lives.

And remember, no matter where you are in the universe, the time is always now.

Stonehenge and all the other astronomical devices were to measure time.....................

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984

I sucked at any higher math than algebra. And hated it.

But I really enjoyed Physics. And understood it. Unlike Calculus. Physics is kinda like a math/science hybrid. To me anyway. I always aced any science class. Math, I was lucky to pass.

Ha! Good point, and one that I had not considered. I suppose the old “publish or perish” rule also applies. You wanna keep your position, you gotta keep on publishing research papers.

So why not “investigate” parallel universes, 20-dimension strings, and other such stuff?

One of my brilliant (and he was)....filled up two boards working an equation...as he got near the end...he stepped back and erased everything except the first three lines....Interesting because it meant that it wasn’t from mere memory...he was working the formula.

Mr. GG2 also subscribes to your theory. Especially regarding frequencies. I have to go now as this whole thing is starting to sound like science. 😏

“Suppose such a theory turns out to be correct. Would it follow that time does not exist?

It’s complicated, and it depends what we mean by exist.”

This author obviously has too much time on his hands to be coming up with such garbage.
