|

wouldn;t it be cool to just stop it at one point in life and just stay like that forever?
it seems like yesterday i was running around in Poland as little kid
i still remember my first year of high school and DAMN that was 4 years ago...
half of summer is already gone by working 6 days a week, night shifts for 12 hours
and going to college in september, meeting new people and etc
i just cant believe that this all happened with blink of an eye

Time does not, nor will not move either faster or slower.
Your perception of it may do so, but that is another thing entirely.
Stating that time moves faster or slower because you perceive it to will always be erroneous.
I also think fisk should be unbanned.

I recently read a book called Physics of the Impossible, and my grasp of it was somewhat hampered by the fact that I didn't entirely understand quantum mechanics, however, after reading a book on quantum mechanics I began to understand how time travel forward would technically be possible. The fact that atoms can theoretically travel forward through time (the slit test) and determine their route or whatever it is they are doing (in the slit test its a least obstructed path to destination) leads me to believe that going forward in time is possible, which is a pretty established fact, however, something I didn't come across reading was the ability to travel backwards. These atoms explore all possibilities before making a decision on where to go, and then actually go back and make it. I mean, this is an explaination for not only parallel universes, time travel but teleportation as well.
Time is neither a perception of the individual, nor is it a finite force.
I'd love to have a discussion on the finiteness of time and space

i think you ll have to look into relativity theory and retract your statement. Any statement about time has to be referential to objects and their context. You can take atomic clocks and show that they are dependend on gravitational differences for example.
Still you are right that the main thing one should be concerned about is the human perception of time, as in most cases local time should be consistently undisturbed by any relativity effects to speak of =)
but well, time flies by, got to be in another thread, pestering another nfohumper now  |

Turn off internet and pc, don't listen to the music and go outside and do nothing and you will see time will stop...

Grinding to a halt you mean Its not the stopping part that hurts, but the grinding before that, hahahahahaha
fresh air is ok though

I think that would have thought that time moved slowly if we remembered everything that happened to us in our lives, and I mean everything.
When people look back into their past they usually think how it all passed so damn fast, but that's only because they forgot all the little things that they had done in these days. Like waking up, brushing your teeth, walking to work, eating, sitting and doing nothing, chatter with people, and what not - We all forget these little details. How many of you can actually remember a whole day of their lives?
Anyways, my point is, that because we only remember some of the events from our past and not all of them, times seem to be passing damn quickly.

He very into the spacetime continuum. He knows his Parsecs and light years and he would kick everyones ass at space trivia.
I wounder how the theory of relativity comes into play with the time perception of a animal with a short lifespan. Like a bug or even a dog. 5 yrs is nothing for me for a dog it is 1/2 his lifespan. I always keep that in mind when I lock him up in the bad dog box for a 5 minutes time out. Anything more would be mean. Same with kids. 5 minute time outs are the longest 5 minute of their life. My friends 5/6 yr old thought 1 minute was 5 minutes. I gave him a egg timer and later a stop watch so he could see for himself.
He tried to fix the time on the stop watch and figured out pretty quick all he could do is re-start the timer and increase his time. I was like "Oh, I guess you shouldn't of tired to cheat. Oh well, now you just have to wait a bit more. It sucks when that happens doesn't it. Thanks ok, you know for next time."

Theory of relativity is important only when it comes to movement near speed of light (high particle collision...).
The time travel isn't possible (Hawking could debate on this ) because of the simple law of conservation of energy. You just can't brake it...
So we're stuck here and now, by the words of Tolstoi: ˝That what has passed, no longer exist. That what will be, has not yet come. So what does really exist? Just one point in which past and the future meet. In that one point is the sum of all our life.˝
"Quantum mechanics is actually, contrary to it's reputation, unbeliveably simple, once you take the physics out."

Something I always think when seeing snotty teen wankers is..." you will be 60 or 65 one day, nothing you can do about it.
You might think you are the coolest there is today, but in some years you will be wrinkled and OLD, thinking...frack you, you think you are the coolest and..., that's just how it is, NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT! " You will get old and simple minded like all the generations before you...and time will take it toll, etc etc...
That helps me push through the day, as i hope it will "YOU"  .

I've found time only seems to go faster when you are enjoying yourself.

Do you guys really need to work 6-7 days a week? I would never want to do that, I enjoy my free time far more than work. I'd rather have a small car and house than having to work all the time.

Exactly, you work so you can have a life, not live so you can work.

Unfortunately it's the opposite. I think life has always been a luxury to those who don't need to work since the beginning of our history. I think that all of the people on earth who are not multi-millionaires and want to live in a good economical state or even live at all, need to work in most of their free time - 5 days a week 9-10 hours a day.
