Example: A frog literally does not see a fly until the fly moves. Quite literally. That is, an electroencephalogram (EEG) of a frog's brain shows that the fly (as far as the frog is concerned) DOES NOT EXIST until it moves. The "why" of this makes no intuitive sense, as a frog's life would obviously be easier, and the frog would be be much more well-fed, if it could see the fly at all times.
Think about that. We are not frogs, but we are certainly also not aware of the true state of the universe around us. Not capable of being [fully] aware. Literally do not have the capacity. We can see flies before they move, so one must wonder about what it is that WE cannot perceive. In addition to the true nature of time, that is. Think about that some more...
Nevertheless, as we increase our knowledge (on a species-wide scale), and begin to utilize instruments to examine the universe around us at a level that we cannot do with our own senses (that is, to "see" the fly before it moves), we are also beginning to realize that the universe is far stranger than we can perceive. It is a universe that changes [(only???) at the quantum level] BECAUSE we observe it. It is a universe that appears to not "notice" the passage of time that we perceive. (If you have not yet read "The End of Time," mentioned earlier, you really should; excellent!)
It is good to be aware of this. It is impossible to truly understand it. It is also impossible not to try; this is another part of what makes us human.
Another something to think about, related to the "passage" of time: Why do dreams always end, in perfect context, right at the moment you wake up?

'Time' is the sensory reception of wavelengths of light, sound, heat, gravity, etc. at a certain point is space. 'Time' is relative to the perceiver when the waves of whatever they are observing passes over them.
Time is not a universal constant. You are always in your own 'present' and it moves forwards in tune to a certain frequency.
Think about a duplicate earth where they run at 2x our 'time'.
They would not be perceptive to the fact that they were moving very fast in comparison to us. That is the frequency they are tuned to.
Fractals show visually alot about time and the way things in nature develop in patterns. Scaled duplication, infinity...

A closed system is measurable, there fore easy to predict, measure, and carry out all other forms of procedures that would come with the expectations of a closed system.
Where as with a strictly unlimited and open system none of this applies.
The only consistency of eternity is that it is constantly changing, thus it is consistently unconsistent and unconsistently consistent. As far as the "un" is concerned; that's an allotment of language that is unconsistent with various other partitions of the same language (English). In- and un- are used in completely different interpretations for a multitude of words.
I, as an amazing intellect, find this shockingly ominous.
It is obvious to me that we are the creators and creations of our own destiny, thus if the very words we are using are not consistent with them selves then we are doomed to unconsciously destroy us and any hope for survival and an enlightened awakening.
Actually it is the complete opposite. It could only be an unlimited and unclosed system if we knew that the randomness was not being affected and in effect confined by the limited expectations (wishes) of a limited amount of people(s): There are an unlimited amount of beings and thusly an unlimited amount of expectations and wishes throughout eternal Existence that spans the fabric of endless and ubiquitous space and time.
I agree with the experiments as I have read of them, but that experiment is still a closed system being operated within an unlimited system. When the unlimited system can be understood and operated you won't have to do any thing that you don't want to do. Earth will transform in every way.
I am not here to impress you.
If you expect that my intentions are to entertain the yearning of your conjectured apprehensions about intellectual impressionsism then you will be viciously diss satisfied.
I am here to spread the truth, not to full fill one's wants and needs.
I diss miss no systems. I am comparing the current model of physics which is based entirely on closed systems, including attempting to close Existence in to a bubble "uni-verse"(s), to the truth of the unlimited system that we all are and that we all share, that which some may refer to as "God".
It does and it doesn't. The awareness of all beings must be respected, thus every thing is and is not.
Existence tells us this and explicitly so, even through "physics".
All forces act upon each other and never is there a space of division and/or solitude of oscillations and temperatures throughout Existence, but if chosen to be viewed in such a way, then a closed system can be seen. The only way this closed system can be seen is to ignore the forces that are externally acting upon it.
To view a thing as separate is to isolate the self.
This is where we currently are in cosmic terms. Untill we over come this lack of awareness we will never be modernly introduced to any one out side of our own world.
Because an unlimited system is unlimited in all ways, the only consistency is that the outcomes and measurements are unlimited, eternally.
We can trace and measure every thing,
there is only nothing that can not be traced and measured, but even still... nothing can be comprehended.
I am not here to make things easy,
I am here to make things peace full and intelligible for the future, nor am I here to express my personal opinions.
What I present can not be proven wrong, ever, because there is no right, nor is there a wrong.
I do not want you to stop questioning, only to refrain from calling it my "opinion"

If you can not respond with substance at least stop wasting my time.
But you have offered NOTHING in the way of evidence of substance to support your attack on convention.
You sir are certainly wasting my time and i hope that most share the conclusion as the alternative would not say much for the ATS membership.
I must have missed the universe declaring itself and it's physics so feel free to point me in the 'right' direction.
A closed system by mere definition is one where it can be shown that external forces are in fact external and plays no part in the closed systems dynamics.
More meaningless pyscho-babble conclusions that you are pulling from thin air.
Such deluded arrogance is truly rare even on the internet and i am seriously wondering what kind of medication you are taking or should be asked to take.
Using what physics or understanding of which disciplines? Where or how do you come up with this 'stuff'?
No we can not.
Based on our understanding of what exactly?
I am not assuming that things should be made easy but i do expect some measure of consistency and appeals to some kind of authority. You have no authority and cite non yet you keep going on as if you have in fact said something of merit.
The only thing you have done is expressed personal opinions and in my opinion pretty stupidly arrogant one's at that.
What you present can not be proven, period. I know it appeals to you to make claims that are hard to disprove but i can assure you that one does not gain credibility anywhere by frequently appealing to such a defense.
originally posted by LastOutfiniteVoiceEternal: there is complete acceptance of the duality that then reveals the most high triality: that is Existence.
By calling what you present your 'opinion' i am being very generous and you should not so greedily demand recognition you have not done anything to deserve.
Is there any way i can convince you to stop making up nonsense or will this horrible experience go on for a while more?

A closed system can be known to exist without it's internal dynamics understood. Since we do not have any closed systems, that I am aware of, to inspect we should not be drawing conclusions to start with.
Obviously not as that is even less well understood.
Calling 'change' consistency is illogical and false.
There is nothing constant about something that is in/unconsistent and you can not make it so with word plays.
What exactly is your literary qualifications as you sure seem to think you are qualified to tell us how languages work or do not.

Something and nothing are not connected in any way. How could they be?
When said : everything come from nothing - than it imply that nothing exist. But it is a paradox - coz nothing have no existence...Whatever IS -is something.
When is said : universe is eternal - than nothing is said...nothing about the nature of universe.

“Eternity“ seem to be the word from that “divine“ vocabulary“....

There is no such thing as temporary infinitum, the fact that it is temporary would cause it to be finite.
