Well, the topic needed its own thread, rather than wallowing in the bowels of Story Boards on a Half-baked Thread created by Sadib.
Where we we...
Ah yes. Time is interesting... I know this sounds weird... but has anyone heard of that cartoon "Time Squad" on Cartoon Network? Very good show, if you ask me. Educational, and funny. Anywho, their "Theory" on time is pretty deep, even though most kids wouldn't get it, merely watching the show for its slapstick humor and jokes. In it, time is represented by a string, and they are at one point in Time, or at one point on the string. TOwards the beginning of the string, it'll start to unravel, and this unravel portion represents a repetition of time in which history doesn't go the way it did in the present time's history. Thye go back to that time, or unravel string to fix the problem. See, that bring sup the whole "Infinite Amount of Universes or Timelines" idea.

Whatever. I don't like scientific theories.

Speaking of time, I received the game yesterday I ordered last week: Mario's Time Machine for SNES. I have been DYING for the game ever since I saw a picture of it in an article entitled "Are Video Games Good for You?" in a kids' magazine back in 1999. I still have it, preserved in plastic.

Markio, time is everywhere. How can you not like time?
Come to think of it, time is pretty stupid. All it does is pass, and it never comes back. You are only at a tiny measure of time for a tiny period of time. TIme is very strange...

There is no such thing as time. It's something humans created to explain memories and change. You can demonstrate this by directing the flow of ions from a flux capacitator into a glass of caffiene mixed with potassium kept at 30 º C in a container made of pixie conductable materials, such as a cracker jack box.

Humans did not create time, but they defined it.

I agree with MMM and LD.
I say: Time does not exist, it's just our narrow perception of the fourth dimension that causes our belief in time.
At the same time, I think there are multiple timelines being created all the time...
The Andorian Mining Consortium runs from no one.

Wouldn't "time" interfere with consciousness? If you were to "stop time", "time" actually wouldn't stop. Your consciousness and actions would move infinately fast, perferably the speed of light. A light particle can move 186,000 miles a second, and in our perspective, it seems to move in no time at all from one point to another. If the light particle had a perspective, everything around it would seem to stop. So "time" is actually a matter of consciousness and perspective.
According to time, there are cases in which people wish that their life would start all over again. They probably already have, they just don't remember it, like in X-Files.

To ALL of the people that have posted and to the creator of this thread:
Just live.
Do you ever get so mad that you hit something, then when you hit whatever you were gonna hit, it hurts making you even MORE mad?
-
I agree with Meowrik's second post, and Trainman's post.

"Just live."
And this is why science sometimes proceeds slowly.

Then ya' got those crazy Mayans who predict the world is gonna end December 23th, 2012. I simply don't see how they can state that... THey never say why or how, and it simply doesn't make sense.

Personally, I think "December 23th" is a very scary date.
-
My theory is that chefdude is the infamous marioguy. I mean, he just made a topic called "Deezer is dead." And marioguy did refer to himself as "The chef of the fungi forums." My guess is he made the Deezer is dead story because he's mad at Deezer for banning him again. I guess I'll have to take marioguy off of my show "SSB LIve!"
Come get some, punk!
-
Yes, t'is a scary date, but another 8 years, meh.
The Mayans were a primitive civilization, so I'm not gonna get too bummed out by that. It makes no sense. Anyone can say "Oh by the way, the world is ending on so-and-so." and you can have a large amount of people believe you. Rememver when everyone said the world was coming to an end in 2000? Hmm... if the world was supposed to end 4 years ago, why am I still here?
It is scary none the less... but stupid... Mixed feelings.
Oh and Chefdude is Sadib. He's been banned already.
Time is strange... I was just thinking about time zones while talking to Trainman, who lives in a different timezone than I.
I was thinking about how the sun is never in the same position of the sky in two places, so time can't really exist. If someone lives on the border of a time zone boundary, their sun is going to be at a much different position than a place near the other side of a time zone, and so therefore, nowhere in the world has the exact same time ever.

"December 23th" - Look at that closely.

Oh....
Oooooooohhhhhhhh!!! I see now!
Hahahahahaha!!!!!

Thats why I like to write out dates, so I dont end up with something like december twentythirth.
I, personally, think that if light had a perspective, it would move away from everything so quickly that it couldn't make out anything, all blurry and distorted, things would appear to be, light may not even know that it is moving, but rather think that it remains in one place and everything around it moves in one direction.
My theory: nothing moves, everything stays in one place realative to the universe, and when anything attempts movement, everyone and everything else in the universe moves in the opposite direction, causing the ellusion of movement.
-
Interesting theory, but a little self-conflictory. Everything ends up moving a lot more as a result of nothing ever moving.
Go Moon!
-
I believe in movement, however one thing I never really got was "Jumping" I simply don't see how the exertion of your muscles creating a force to the ground can propel you into the air...

Meh, the Mayans were on the right track, but it's actually December 22st, 2012.
Close, but no cigar.

Meowrik: Newton's Third Law

I know I know, but I still just find it odd.

Here's an odd one:
Suppose you have two identical very precise clocks. You put one high up on a wall and the other down on your desk.
The clock on the wall is a greater distance (radius) from the center of the Earth so it is moving through a larger circle (circumference) around the Earth, and since the Earth rotates at a relatively constant rate of approximatly 24 hours, the wall clock is moving faster through space than the one on your desk.
Here's the odd part:
Since the wall clock is moving faster through space, time for it is actually passing slower. This has be experimentally verified repeatedly. This means that twin who gets around in a fast moving airplane would be younger than the other twin that walks everywhere.
The process becomes extreme when something moves close to the speed of light. If you were to fly off in a rocket at close to the speed of light and then come back to the Earth you would find that all the people you had known would have died long ago even though you are still young.
The reason for this is that time is relative, while the speed of light is constant. Another strange thing is that the faster you move, the harder it becomes to push you.
-
Yes; as an object goes faster, its mass becomes larger.

Here's another stange one:
It was once thought that the universe might one day colapse into a "big crunch" if it had enough mass. This has been shown to be incorrect. In fact, we know the universe is expanding because the wavelegth of light from stars is getting longer. This is known as "red shift" and is due to the doppler effect.
The strange and relatively new discovery is that the universe's expansions is actually speeding up. It is thought that the traditional view of space as an empty vacuum is wrong in that there are particle popping into and outof existance in a sort of quantum foam. Our universe may even have been formed when some of this quantum foam did not pop out of existance due to an imbalance in charge/type of matter. This explains why the universe is vastly more matter than antimatter (as far as we know).
Yet another stange thing is that light has actually been quantumly teleported. "Beam me up Scotty." Next well be to isolate a single particle or atom. But, don't hold your breath for Scotty to beam you up because the amount of quantum information in an human is more than all the computers in the world can handle.
