Hi Jon,

(This sort of thing happens, except for the location. It's difficult to do using atomic clocks because you have to account for relativistic effects from differences in altitude and velocity).
Do you have to allow for any relativistic effects if the atomic clock is in the lab with you?

While looking stuff up I found Wikipedia: hour
Does any numbers you or anyone could come up with change the duration between sunrise and sunrise? I say no.
Does any numbers you came up with change the duration between events in existence? I say no.
Jon writes:
There are actually three slightly different systems in use; which one you use is decided by convenience.
Two of those definitions say the units of time we use is defined by the rotation of the earth relative to the sun.
My definition of time.
Time is a concept developed by mankind to measure the duration between events in existence (eternity).
Jon I would like to know what you have to measure while doing an experiment other than duration between two or more events in that experiment. Other than ingredients.
God Bless,

Re: Creation
What are Jesons
Infinitesimal Jesus's holding all the subatomic particles in the Universe in place. There's a picture but I can't find it now.
Why do you think my definition is wrong for relativistic analysis?[/qs] For the reason I gave in the message to which you replied. Expanding, in relativistic analysis, time is just a coordinate in space-time. There is no duration. There is the "interval", which subsumes what we call duration.
But you can not measure time.
If you think so explain what it is that you are actually measuring.
Interesting question, but no answer is required to know that we are measuring something. As when we measure the rate at which an object falls. Did Galileo know what he was measuring?

So what gives? I thought the red light shining on the cloth would make it look as red as the red ochres made into dye and applied would.
That's the point. The red in the lens is not inherently "red". The lens transmits the red wavelengths of the white light that you shine into it. When those red wavelengths hit a white sheet, it reflects back some of them. That shows that the colour of the sheet is determined by the light that it reflects. If the sheet was inherently "white", how could red light make it look pink?

The point of the story is that length and height are the same thing. We can put the x, y and z dimensions of a 3D object in any order of length, height and width. I brought it up because you seem to be very confused about measurement.

I haven't seen a flag pole yet that was not fastened to something above ground that was anchored in the ground or the part of the pole was buried in the ground. So you would need to give quite a bit more information.
I used one I am familiar with.
ringo writes:

For a 14' 8" pole she did it the hard way.
You could measure that pole with a 25' tape with no problem.
No disassembly of the pole to lay it on the ground.

So the Empire State Building is 1,454 ft in length to the tip. The Eiffel Tower is 984 ft in length.
I don't find that description of either.

I am not so confused that I do not know that a rectangle box has length, width and height.

That is not necessary I think scientist calls what holds the universe together Dark Energy.
So all Jesus does is supply the energy to hold it together. Remember He is all energy literally all everything.

If you are measuring something you have to know what you are measuring it with.
I don't know if Galileo knew he was trying to measure the duration from release to stop. But I will assume he was trying to figure out how long it took from the time he turned it loose until it stopped. He was a smart man.

That agrees with what I said. The pink colour of the sheet is caused by the reflected red wavelengths. When white light shines on the sheet, all wavelengths are reflected.

Yes, but you do not have to know the fundamental nature of what you are measuring.

Yes he was, but that wasn't the point of the experiments. They were about gravity. He did not know what gravity or time are at a fundamental level. And yet he measured both. It seems reasonable that when you can measure something repeatedly, replicate measurements and experiments, and develop a coherent theory of how it acts exists whether or not we know what that something is.
As Galileo didn't know and we still don't know despite knowing a lot more about them.

What you fail to find doesn't change reality.
ICANT writes:

But you seem to be confused enough not to understand that the three dimensions are interchangeable. If I ask for a box that's 12" wide and 16" long, it doesn't matter if you make it 12" long and 16" wide instead. All I have to do is rotate it 90.

what you're missing is that ICANT is either incapable of honest discussion or has a condition that prevents abstract thought.

Hi Jon,

We measure duration between events with a clock of some type that is based on seconds, minutes, hours etc.
We measure distance from one place to another with a system of fractions of inches, inches, feet, yards, miles, etc.
You can't swap the two methods so you do need to understand a little about what you are measuring. The method of measuring volume would not work on either distance or duration.

That should have been a no brainer. The air was not thick enough to hold it up.

I used a light that had a red bulb and red lens to get the pink reflection on the white cloth. I can put the Red ochre on the white cloth and it will not cause the surrounding area to reflect pink. In fact white will begin at the edge of the red ochre.

Re: Creation

do you understand the red ochre is not light? do you have a grade school education of physics or should we really start dumbing it down for you?
0. cloth and ochre are different materials and therefore have different properties.
1. the cloth is reflecting white light, that is why it looks white.
2. when you shine a red light on the white cloth some of the red is getting reflected back at you.
3. when you expose red ochre to white light, you get a large amount of red light reflected back at you.
