      +Abel Bekele His guidance on the visibility of a wormhole and the appearance of a huge black hole from the outside are groundbreaking in science fiction. "Contact" tried to do it and was better than most, scientifically, but "Interstellar" did a great job in using real physics to create an impressive scene in the movie.
      Now, I'm still intrigued by the "tesseract" which, to me, was revealed in Madeline L'Engle's "A Wrinkle In Time".

      Sharif M / So that's the proof that your brain creates the illusion of a pasage of something that in reality doesn't exist.
      "Time" as a real material quantity doesn't exist because you can't fill a bucket with it.
      Time is not a real dimension. It is just an artificial effect, an artificial non-existent effect invented by your brain when compare a change of material position.
      You don't need "time" in order to explain the world.

      @@mikel4879 the idea of time is an idea, as you said. Though you are correct, you are also ignorant and blatantly misrepresenting what science veiws time as. in mathematics, in order to properly describe a system, and predict what that system will do, you must include time into your calculations to show real outcomes. time is an illusion, just like your entire material reality, because it's all made in your brain. in reality, your eyes take in quantized information, converts it, and presents you with this world. if you want to argue semantics, then prove anything you know actually exists. youll soon enough realize the only thing you can prove is that you exist enough to experience and comprehend that experience. you experience time, I assume, therefore, one could use said experience to rationalize, and in a universally understandable way, our existence and beyond. if time is a illusion, then perhaps you could convince it to loosen it's grip on our existence.

      All the universal material reality exists only as an instant process, as deep as it can exists as an infinitesimal local material iteration.

    I once knew a physicist that was working on the idea that time is our awareness of the expansion of space. He passed away before publishing anything. I didn't understand his explanations, but I remember him saying that Einsteins space time is incorrect. That in fact it's "expanding space time". Space and time are different sides of the same thing because space is expanding and creates "quantum holes" which must be filled. The holes being filled created by space expanding is what we feel as time because these "quantum holes" allow us to go from point A to point B in space, or some such craziness that I don't understand. I also remember him saying something about if space didn't expand we could not travel through it. It would be like a solid and there could be no motion, energy or time.

    For all those enquiring minds who cannot come to grips with the ' Constancy of Light for All Observers', Kip has just stated that with the Doppler Effect the frequency of light may be different for different observers, but the speed, as measured by those observers, will always be the same. This explanation together with the equation for light speed C = frequency X wavelength, clearly resolves this conundrum for all observers.

    I respect Kip Thorne and applaud his attempt to explain General Relativity and the concept of SpaceTime to an audience that has no background whatsoever in physics or the maths required to correctly grasp the subjects. I also respect and encourage anyone who is truly interested in the subjects to keep on going, watch and learn as much as you can - these are difficult subjects even for professionals in the field, so learn everywhere you can.
    But dumbing-down these subjects and completely glossing over concepts that are required to actually begin to understand Spacetime and general relativity(and just as important - how we got to these concepts in the first place) does not do justice to these ideas - and it leaves people with a false understanding that always seems to get jumbled into a quasi-psuedo-spiritual/religious bullshit from the perceived "magic" of their misunderstanding.

      It goes all the way back to the debate between Newton and Leibnez as to whether space and time exist independently (Absolutist View) or just for the matter that resides within (Relationism)

    In my opinion, there are 2 method of how we look at time. One is the mechanical clock. The other is the relativity between 2 objects. If we use clock time as a reference, 1 second means 1 second, whether a person travels at the speed of light or not, the mechanical time will not be affected. so, when he travels 300 thousands KM in 1 second; that mean he is 300thousand KM away from his peer. The mechanical clock will still show 1 second and it movement will not be affected. That means, if this person is wearing a mechanical clock, when he is 300 thousand KM away from his original location, his mechanical clock will still show only 1 second has passed. However, if we look at it relative to 2 persons in the same location. When a person is stationary and the second one is travelling at the speed of light, that can mean, the first person may find his time is slower if he compare it with his peer. So, my view is, we must be able to tell the difference between mechanical time and the relative time. Of course, I think, this is only meaningful if there are 2 objects to compare and 2 locations. I can be wrong. Anyway, I hope to learn my mistake. Similarly, when a planet is sucked into a blackhole, the event horizon will apply when there is no relativity of locations and movement between objects and, there is no way to experience time.

    What we call intuition is learned experience. We expect a ball that is dropped to fall to the ground. Our minds are not designed to know everything or answer the great philosophical questions. The question 'is there a God or is there something after death', is something that we can only speculate about and never answer. All the atheists in the world can give their reasons, but just as a dog can't understand the concept of a prime number, neither can a human being understand the real nature of this existence.

    Kip Thorne (in this interview here) is the first person to ever clearly explain to me how it can be that a person stationary and a person moving can both see light travelling at velocity c, because embedded into this are the coupled wavelength and the frequency, and if you double one, you halve the other and vice versa, per the equation c = lambda * nu. Essentially what he is implying here is that embedded into wave phenomena is coupled time and space, which is a remarkable concept, and perhaps useful as a pedagogical tool. No one has ever explained it this way (at last not to me).
    I have my own short Kip Thorne story. I got a chance to meet him at his office in 1991 when I was at Caltech to present a paper in mathematics (Number Theory). I knew he was at Caltech because his graduate student, the big, bad, scary black hole cosmologist Richard Price, who was an advisor on a paper I had written as an undergraduate (graduate students were terrified of him-which to me meant he was really sharp), was at the University of Utah (at the time). So I asked Kip, with some trepidation (in some closed-minded circles, it is heresy to even broach the subject-even as a footnote in the history of science), about the old aether model, because Einstein's Theory of Relativity is not dependent on the aether existing. Kip said that we still work with the aether model every day-only now we call it spacetime. That's when I knew he was a physicist's physicist. One of the highlights in my short physics 'career'. Lunch with John Archibald Wheeler (incidentally, Kip's graduate advisor) is another.
    I was not surprised in the least to hear he won a Nobel Prize. Yawn. I could have told you that almost 30 years ago. What I could not have predicted is that a short story of his would become Chris Nolan's INTERSTELLAR, and that his classmate, Stephen Hawking, would also have a movie (THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING) out the same year.

    At 11:20, I think it will be possible to go back in time soon. Currently there is a working theory for a backwards flowing quantum wave function sending information to are brains forward moving wave function. This would account for our brains impossible reaction time, follow studies on consciousness -- Penrose - Hameroff. Other scientists are working on time travel of atoms first, next molecules, etc.Thanks to one of the best math teachers!

    Space and time are said to be related, but we are
    never told how they met. We can conceive of space
    as that which contains everything there is, but what's
    time got to do with it? They say time is a fourth
    dimension, that space has the other three. No, space
    has no dimensions; only the things in space have dimensions.
    Anyway, here are some comments on the issue:
    If we want to be able to communicate with each other about
    the 'size' of things, first we need to invent a tool, such as the
    'meter'. And, if we want to be able to communicate with each
    other about the 'motion' of things, then we need to invent a
    tool that will measure motion; and that tool is the clock.
    We did not invent clocks to measure so-called time, but to
    measure motion. The word 'time' is merely the term we use
    to refer to the measure of motion. Tick-tock.

    To me:
    Pure energy is "space" and the flow of pure energy is "time". Time (the flow of energy) cannot exist without space (energy) existing. Space (energy) without time (the flow of energy) is useless. If space (energy) existed but did not flow, wouldn't we say that "time stood still? Time itself would still exist as long as space existed, it just wouldn't flow. Time is dependent upon space existing in the first place.
    Hence, space and time are linked as "spacetime".
    For those who might say that pure energy does not exist:
    Modern science recognizes the big bang occurring and the laws of nature and matter coming from that big bang. If it wasn't pure energy that banged, (since the current laws of nature and matter didn't exist yet), then what banged?
    Modern science recognizes the quantum as a bundle of energy. I propose the following:
    The quantum, (bundle of energy), could be seen as a "bundle of sticks". When the sticks are one way, their interaction with themselves and with other pure energy units causes certain laws of nature to occur. When the sticks get rearranged by some means, the new interactions cause different laws of nature to occur. It was a rearrangement of the "sticks" in the quantum which triggered the big bang with a corresponding release of energy.

    • @victorhugomuzi
      @victorhugomuzi Před 8 lety

      +Charles Brightman I think the same way as you, that is the nature of what we call space and time. In reality, time is a certain frequency of events that we measure and call them something to separate what happened from what is happening.

    • @charlesbrightman4237
      @charlesbrightman4237 Před 8 lety

      +Victor Hugo Thank you. Some people say that the past, present and future don't really exist per se and everything is just an "eternal now".
      Personally, an entity can't even think a thought without a time before the thought, a time during the thought, and a time after the thought. What was anticipated in the future, passes through the present, and becomes evident by the past. That thought was in essence an event in "spacetime". It was a part of the flow of energy in the universe of energy.
      I've heard some people claim that "time" is the "speed of causality", the speed of events occurring. While I can see their point, I believe them to be wrong due to one vital point. "Speed" is distance over "time". They are utilizing "time" to define "time" without really saying what "time" actually is. In my definition above, I don't make that error. "Time" is purely just the "flow of energy". And if no energy flowed, then "time stood still". It would still exist but just wouldn't flow.
      In part why I believe this all matters:
      1. The "big bang" theory is the front theory of how the universe and all in it came to be.
      2. That would mean that there was probably a very high flow of energy during the "bang".
      3. That flow of energy is probably less now then it was then and will most probably be lower still in the future as the universe supposedly keeps expanding and energy that cannot be created nor destroyed would be getting less and less dense, most probably on it's way to a "big freeze".
      4. Since modern science recognizes a one to one relationship with space and time, to me then it would at least be possible that "time" itself is slowing down giving us a relative perspective of an expanding universe. Relatively speaking, wouldn't we perceive the same perception, (whether "time" didn't change but "space" did, or whether "space" didn't change but "time" did)? Or maybe both are true, universe expanding and time slowing down? And maybe it's not a one to one relationship but a curved relationship? Hence we perceive the universe speeding up as it expands.
      In my analysis I have apparently discerned some things:
      1. If an eternally consciously existent entity does not actually factually exist in actual reality, then all things would cease to matter one day as one day there wouldn't be a conscious entity left to care. Life itself is just an illusion as far as eternity is concerned.
      2. If such an entity truly exists, but it's not us, then life itself is still just an illusion from the human perspective as far as eternity is concerned. And one thing such an entity could never ever do, (to personally experience a total cessation of conscious existence), just happens to be the one very thing we, (as well as many other species), cannot apparently ever escape. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe this entity experiences "death" through entities that consciously exist and then cease to consciously exist. If so, can this entities' connection be discerned and utilized by us while we are yet consciously alive? (Even though it wouldn't matter from the human perspective as far as eternity was concerned).
      I am down to only two possibilities, and with Occam's razor have narrowed it down to only one:
      We either:
      1. Truly do have an eternal conscious existence somehow, someway, somewhere, in some state of existence, (I acknowledge possible as there is much I as well as all of humanity do not know yet);
      Or, and more probably it currently appears:
      2. We truly do not have an eternal conscious existence. One day we all die from something, a death that will last into a very real eternity. We won't remember anything at all. Our "afterlife" will be like our "beforelife", a state of non-existence. Life itself is just an illusion from the human perspective as far as eternity is concerned.
      Of course, if we do truly do have an eternal conscious existence, then we will either be eternally alone or still just an individual in a society of individuals. The same basic choices conscious entities have now, (to help, neutral, hurt, and to whom to help, neutral, hurt), they will probably have then also. We will basically have to deal with assholes for literally eternity. I personally am not so sure I would want that if I had a choice. Maybe I don't, but maybe I do somehow, someway.
      Sorry this is so long, but I currently consider myself as a "truthseeker" just trying to get closer to the real truth.

      Charles Brightman​ Although this is great and makes logical sense, Im a bit lost on a few things and would love to discuss them with you so that we can come into an agreement... so please if youd like to do so email me victorhugomuzi@gmail.com
      Also, other intelligent beings can and do interact with humans. I can also guarantee you that if we cannot see the future and connect mentally (which i believe we cant while in a body), these beigs do that for us making it look like we do. Some of their features i have discovered from speaking to people that have experiences with them:
      1. In order for them to communicate they almost always have to take over a body, but they also love to take over bodies which meane they could be lying just to do that.
      2. For them to make anything happen they need something in return, also once a fellow mason told me that they do this because they can transfer energy long distances and use it(so they follow the rule that energy cannot be created nor destroyed) This is done either by sacrifices or something as simple as lighting a candle.
      3. They prefer to be cast and do 'their thing' in the absense of light
      I have one question: Do you mean that the the flow of energy from the bang was the beginning of time, and as it flows time will flow? Ive heard a spiritual person say that the spirits he talks to said that time is speeding up.

      +Victor Hugo I just received your message now, I've had company all day and was just checking my messages before bed. I would like to discuss anything you would like to discuss in an intelligent manner. I will be emailing you after this. I may not know the answer to your questions, and if so, I will tell you so. My intent is to seek the real "absolute truth" as best as I humanly can in topics that interest me, (full well recognizing my own human limitations and fallibility as well as the fact that I as well as all of humanity truly do not know what we do not know).
      To answer your question:
      No, I do not believe that the bang was the beginning of "time". Nor will the end of this universe be the end of "time". And yes, the flow of energy is the flow of "time" I currently believe.
      As far as some of the other stuff you mentioned, let me put this out there:
      How exactly does the human brain think a thought? With billions of brain cells and trillions of brain cell connections, how exactly does the energy signal know where and when to start, what path to take, and where and when to stop to form a coherent thought? Obviously it does, but how exactly does it do it?
      An analogy I like to use is:
      Spread a brain out like a map. Brain cells are represented by towns and cities. Brain cell connections are represented by roads and highways. A coherent thought is represented by a vehicle traveling between one or more towns and/or cities. How exactly does the vehicle know where and when to start, what path to take, and where and when to stop to form a coherent trip? A higher intelligence has to tell it those things. But, in a way, that is a coherent trip in and of itself, albeit if only in the mind. So, how exactly does our brain think a thought before it thinks that thought? What exactly is the higher intelligence behind our very thoughts? If from within the brain and/or body, how exactly does it do it? If from outside the brain and body, how exactly does it do it and why? Do I even truly have "conscious freewill"? Am I typing this or is the higher intelligence typing this through me?
      Also, do we and everything that we perceive exists, actually exist? Before you think I am crazy, let me briefly explain:
      1. Modern science says energy cannot be created nor destroyed. (Hence energy is eternally existent, otherwise science is wrong and energy was created at least one time in history);
      2. Modern science is seeking an energy singularity that everything in existence gets it's existence from.
      Do we and everything that we perceive exists actually exist, OR does only this eternally existent energy singularity exist in the form of all things?
