My only hope is that bowing out is only temporally, because otherwise I stand no chance to get to know - how you come to interesting philosophy of yours. You never explain.

Lets say that one day an astronaut in the year 2000 dropped a small red ball into deep space (interplanetary to avoid all those gravity dilemnas) this ball floats about in spcae for millions of years perhaps hit by the occasional dust particle or small rock but it will survive, now our little astronaut buddy has been in cryo-storage all this time and hasn't aged a tad, imagine his surprise when upon his next venture into space he finds the same ball totally unchanged.

But I have thought about there not really being time before. Maybe there is just a three dimensional space and we move around. Light moving away from us isn't moving in time but in space and we just cannot catch up.

I can't imagine how less can be said in nine ATS pages on a area of ATS that should at least be loosely related to reality.

Thank you for the analysis, opinions are entitled.
How can any thing not be related to reality when it is all derived from it?
Since you have the audacity to bestow the sword of stupidity amongst us, do you have the shield of bravery to show us why, or have you bowed out before it begins?
Anyone can yell insults and run, but found within detailed conversation is an honesty waiting to be explained and exposed
P.s. I'm not sure what type of literacy or illiteracy system that you are basing your conclusion on, but do "i"'s have to be capitalized, are there spaces before commas, are there no spaces after periods and does the word an come before a word starting with a vowel?
Not that it really matters, but if stones can be thrown, be sure they can all so be taken.
Please excuse my semi-harsh diminutive lingo, but I feel attacked and your post in no way added to the discussion.
(was this constructive criticism or destructive criticism? Thanks. Intentions seem vague and condescending to say the least)

You spoke of failure, but do you represent your signature or is it simply a show of fancy?
You are not even 'failing' in the classical sense as you are not in my opinion attempt to do anything of substance. What use you could possible find in attempting to undermine the fundamental nature of time is quite beyond me and the fact that you are not employing anything of substance to do it is not helping.
Have a delightfull evening and please do write back
How it could possibly be , or become 'delightful' while people attempt to sell such nonsense as truth is quite beyond me.

If you can't contribute anything to the thread you are responding to don't bother posting.
Definately don't attack the people that have valid opinions, theories, etc.

Because your ideas and 'theories' are not derived from anything real.
What is to show? You have done absolutely nothing to invalidate the fundamental nature ( at least with our current understanding) of time and until you begin to do so there is not much for to do here.
Anyone can also type lots of pages saying absolutely nothing about reality and that is what you have been doing for many pages now.
I am relieved to see that you know something about something.
Feel free to keep throwing stones if their all of similar inconsequential size.
Your observational skills are clearly quite astute so as to have 'deduced' that you were ' under attack'.

Let's say I look at my watch it says 3:00. I drive to the shops, it is 3:15.
I drive the same distance if im going faster or slower depending on how much energy i use i still get there with the same distance.
energy and time are linked this way. the more energy i use the quicker i get there. how do i measure how quick?? "the human concept of time as an illusion" thats stupid. 3:00 could be 3:15 at a metres distance on the amount of energy i use.

I am not doing anything differently than almost everyone else who responded to this thread. To say that i should 'contribute' assumes that someone else other than blue bird have and last i checked i have already thanked him for his efforts.

You consider what went on this thread 'valid opinions' or 'theories'?
To dispute the fundamental ( and it need not stay that way ) nature of time with the content of this thread is laughable at best.
