Picard asks...how long of a moment? Data answers .4 seconds...a Life Time for an Android. This is the heart of what i am getting at.

Scientists already admit that the known laws of physics break down at the moments before the Big Bang. The already admit that a singularity (infinite density) does no obey physics as we know it.
That doesn't mean there was no big bang. It just means we don't have the physics to describe it, because the laws of physics may have been so different prior to the big bang.

I have to disagree with you here... respectfully.
Of course it's true that humans have different perceptions of the passage of time but that perception is subjective. There are occasions when we percieve time as being dialated or compressed but the passage of time as measured by an atomic clock is objective. The atomic clocks "perception" never changes but is affected by velocity and distance from an observer. As an object moves through space it is also moving through time. It's more precise to say that Space and Time are intertwined and inseperable.

What a constructive reply! I wish we had more people participating on the forum like you

If you brought up an isotoped and mesured neutron decay....more decay would occur in the isotopes on Earth during the mesured time upon Earth...yet less on the shuttle because less time has passed because of the shuttles distance from the gravity well as well as velocity. This is one proof that time is relative but not the only proof.
Time is not only relative to physical action but is also relative to BRAIN PERCEPTION. These things are interconnective in a quantum state where quantum particles are sharing positions of other possible quantum particles dependent of Divergent Universal States.....continued... Split Infinity
The old E = mc2 strikes again.

So do you think gravity could be tied to motion in some way?

So it is geometry at the heart of all this.
Now I'm curious...
Ummmm What do you think would be the result if you place an atomic clock inside a centrifuge? Would the Gs generated by the centrifuge cause the atomic clock to slow as mass does?
I'm thinking this scale centrifuge upload.wikimedia.org...
WoW I just discovered some are lil enough upload.wikimedia.org... to place in a centrifuge on this scale upload.wikimedia.org... I lovz learning about new stuff
