What about the 'Immortal Jellyfish'? It can't be arsed with all this linear degeneration stuff,so it uses tansdifferentiantion to become a younger version of itself whenever it feels the need and as far as the scientists involved can make out,it can do so an infinite number of times. Not bad,for a brainless jellified blob. But then,'it's only science,dumbass'.......
True. But the Immortal Jellyfish can 'turn back time' in the sense that it can regenerate itself,thus negating the intervening years. For IT,they didn't happen. And my mum sez turning back time is science.
The mind makes up this so called "REALITY" .. Everything here on earth IS BASED ON LIES,you have to have a STRONG MIND to be able to see thru it and see the reality of situations!!
Turning back time means literally turning back time. Regenrating cells or getting plastic surgery is not turning back time.
Jellyfish with plastic surgery.....hmmm. Waking up in the 16th century but at your current age would be a time-slip. Is that possible? I don't know-I've seen a very small part of this universe. Waking up tomorrow but being 18yo rather than 58yo would be turning back time. Not regeneration or rejuvenation-just a corporeal entity that had dropped 40 years off it's age while the world around it marched on,heedless. Is THAT possible? I would have said no. But the Immortal Jellyfish does just that. As often as it wishes. Apparently,capable of doing so an infinite number of times. And you aren't even MODERATELY impressed? Fair enough,I'm not getting into an "Ah,but" contest. You win.
that jellyfish becoming a baby is not time travel. But what evs And yes I that is impressive of that jellyfish, further increases my belief that mother nature is one scary bitch.
does anybody really know what time it is? does anybody really care? what is time? well the quantization and subdivision of time are figments of sapient convenience, but entropy, which is to say, time's arrow, is a real enough thing, which may have other aspects then those the average person is likely to consider.
I disagree completely that man alone measures time. Birds have clocks, only the clocks are natural. They don't organize the clocks, but what is that capability, exactly, and how does it relate to the true nature of time? So I don't think they do measure time so much as they are just another experience within time's greater existence. The time passes anyway; the clock is just another thing in the time, which would be unnecessary if people would just concentrate more upon the rise and setting of the sun, maybe.
Whose to say we don't move from the future to the past? Whose to say that this isn't just a dream? our thoughts just floating around; mere souls with no true form of 'body?'
i think time is funny. because i know its all perception. if i'm in a hurry, the minutes seem to fly by. if i'm bored, they creep along. sometimes i think i don't have enough time, other times i have too much.
So time slows down the closer you are to a large gravitational body, and time slows down the faster you move. But space and time are the same things, spacetime. So it makes sense that where space has been warped there is a warping of time, as experienced as time speeding up as you move farther from the body, through the gradations of its warping. But wouldn't that suggest that there is a time constant in the universe? A place where spacetime is totally unaffected by warping? Spacetime is also warped as you move faster through it. It's like this gelatinous substance that doesn't want to give way. So it make sense that it takes so much speed to notice a significant slowing of time in relation to the Earth. Even when you are moving slowly, there is some warping of spacetime from its steady state. You're already moving on the planet, so naturally if you were moving slowly it wouldn't do much more to warp the spacetime. But you can't determine what spacetime is by observing the warp, really. It's space, and it's time, but what is it like? Given that everything we know occurs in it, it is at least as fascinating as we are, isn't it? I think that's an even more incredible feat of spacetime than the fact that it's warped. The warping itself isn't really what's causing the spacetime to occur, after all. What I don't understand is how matter itself can be separate from spacetime. If time isn't responsible for everything, then what is that something it's not responsible for? How are we to distinguish what is happening to us from spacetime itself? There is no spacetime and "mattertime" as far as I am aware. The only time that occurs is a part of this bizarre substance called "spacetime."
