    Maybe, if you think so.

    I think it boils down to a simple case of crime of passion if you ask me, and perhaps the idea that you couldn't really be talking about anybody else..

    I mean, let's face it, Tom was spurting some infant school stuff, so it couldn't have been him even if he had wanted it to be.

    Thedope and I made sense, by simply not making sense of the situation!

    Here's a link, fill your boots everyone. I have taken the liberty of choosing Wikipedia to caress another ego, because you can still doubt it's all bullshit and pseudo intellect once again :p

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime
    Anyways it all seems finished now, fun times.

    So... wikipedia university....

    regarding an idea that is a model of another idea.... that is essentially a bite sized explanation.

    you do realize that in REALITY spacetime is nothing of a method to address how time functions and only a way to explain how it functions relative to other measurables, right?

    Bite size? Good enough for me.

    Again, must reiterate just how futile anything of this conversation actually is. We know very little on the concept time and space.

    Wikipedia is crap, but it is as good as anything else right now.

    Unless I am speaking with the dark of the Universe right now, pray tell? :p

    Either way, yes other measurables make the difference here. We are talking of the impossibility of basic time principle being diminished, yet it is clear such a measurable, be it gravitational force, can in fact alter our simple understanding of time. Again, a black holes gravitational force bends time, but to believe this you have to believe time travels in waves like light and sound. It is something which we cannot really comprehend, much to the point I have been making. You have sort of proved my point, again, other measurables do switch time's essentials. Which is why I disagreed in the first place. If Tom or whoever it was states that we see time as it passes, and things simply grow in a coexisting manner, then hadn't he forgotten any other specific that could have mad a huge difference to how we perceive it.

    You have brought this full circle, and unwittingly expressed an equal desire to the need to know more to explain the point in question.

    But then, this is actually taking up my time now ironically, and I have a lecture to go to. Cheers for the shit's and giggles.

    I don't care whether you agree, i'm just going with what relativity states thus far. We a

    1. You do not understand my post in meaning or purpose.

    2. gravity dilating time doesn't expressly force it to be a wave, that is a simplistic view of reality

    3. You are naive of what you speak.

    Never said it travels in waves, just saying it's comprehension isn't otherwise plausible.

    I think it's clear who is missing meanings in purpose, I am here talking with someone who is arguing the belief in much of what Einstein said...

    You mentioned GTD yourself, you must believe the principles of relativity surely? Unless you want to argue what one of the greatest scientists said (which people are entitled to, much of his work has been 'tweeked'), then fair enough- but I just doubt I am talking with anyone who knows any more about this than the next person.

    At least I am putting fact first, from as far as they know, you are just insulting me and claiming my ignorance. You haven't put together one sound argument, you my friend are out of your depth. It's actually pretty funny that you call me naive, I think you have a superiority complex like many long time posters here often do.

    I hate people who bully there methods on you, people who wont act rationally and accept another opinion. I haven't said you are wrong, and maybe your systematic, Occam's Razor approach works for you, God forbid it may be right.

    I do not know the answers, and let's face it neither do you. I am happily out, and happily skeptical about the whole thing, and more than happy not to denounce science, and Einstein as bite-size.

    Enjoy the rest of your day, looking down on your little people here on Earth :)
