To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
This weekend I was watching a video which said that is backwards. A large amount of mass cause time to flow more slowly. That differential in the rate of time flowing is what causes gravity without the need for force carrying particles like photons for an electromagnetic field, which is why gravity is unlike the other forces.
I’m sorry but I can’t make the time to read an entire essay this very second 🤪
Since my understanding is that quantum mechanics can only be understood by a genius IQ I have to rely on Mr. GG2 who assures me there is a time continuum. We are all somewhere on that continuum. God exists outside of the time continuum. According to Mr. GG2 the body exists inside time but the spirit does not so when you die you leave the time continuum.
Please address all negative responses to Mr. GG2. 😉
All this makes my head hurt.
That whole time dilation thing is difficult, to say the least.
To a photon, there is no time. Here, there, same time always. Slow down and time starts to exist. But “slow down” and velocity are time-based notions. Another true head-scratcher.
And as for the things that appear solid, the closer we look the more they disappear.
Humanity has come a long way from Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Not sure we’re any wiser, just we think in different terms and have different tools and toys.
We’re doing song oh fun
Time is flowing like a river … to the sea to the sea 🤪
Thank you for touching on something that I've been wondering about for a while. I've never studied physics (or other hard sciences) but I've been forming the impression for a while that much of what gets publicized as "scientifically possible" is merely "not mathematically impossible" and that the two concepts, which to me seem far apart, get blurred, and that it's not by accident.
Albert Einstein:
The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.
Time being a measurement of the rate of change of physical THINGS (current most accurate being vibration frequencies of some isotopes - ‘atomic clock’), means that time is bound to the natural world.
For those things outside the natural world, time is not applicable.
Fun part of that is that time is finite - it had a beginning, and it has an end. There is no change to measure without this.
Time to,make the doughnuts
Dammit...I just ordered a new Luminox Diver’s watch!

Give it some time, it’ll pass
“Time is based on gravity.
The more gravity there is the slower time is.
Time would STOP with enough gravity......................”
Yes, but to STOP time entirely would require INFINITE mass, such as by accelerting a spaceship to the speed of light. Not an easy thing to do.
I thought the Big Bang theory already incorporated the notion that time is “emergent”. That’s why it’s nonsensical to ask what happened before the Bang. All you can ask is what “causes” or explains it, without invoking a “before” and an “after”. But that’s also true of absolutely anything, including “loop quantum gravity”. They’re slouching toward theology.
The business about morality being dependent on the “existence” of time is just silly. We all make choices, or choose not to.
For that to happen, they would all have to be gathered into one place.
