Re: nature of time
Feel free to show a source. But since no distance to the SN is known, it is silly to try and use a distance from it!!!!

But since no distance to the SN is known
Ah, the invincible ignorance of the fundy. Knowing absolutely nothing about the subject you pontificate as if you were the expert.
You aren't.

Re: nature of time
From your link
"All methods, however,
are indirect in that they all depend on the calibration of other distance
indicators, and, therefore, have only a statistical value. Moreover, different
distance indicators appear to give discordant results that are not compatible
with each other, thus making the distance issue very slippery"
In layman terms this means all so called distances are circular religion. You lose.

Re: nature of time
Learn to read. The paragraph following the one you quoted makes it clear that the paragraph you quoted refers to methods other than the one they used on SN1987A.
quote:
The presence of the famous circumstellar ring around SN 1987A has provided a unique opportunity to determine the distance to the LMC directly by using a purely geometric method: it consists in measuring the angular size of the ring from high resolution images and comparing it to the absolute size as estimated from the evolution of emission lines produced by the ring ionized gas (see e.g. [8, 1, 2]).
I did leave something out; the other method of directly measuring the distance to SN1987A. Page Not Found | Department of Chemistry

Re: nature of time
How can you claim time is the same in the radius line? Or any line!? That is just another way to try and graph time and space as a line that is supposed to be distance. perhaps you should change distance to 'apparent fishbowl based distance'

Yep. And we know exactly how to piss off ignorant creationists. There's fewer and fewer of you though.

Trust me, you are seriously mistaken. So far, everything you have written proves it.

Re: nature of time
It doesn't matter if time differs on the radius line. Read the last link I gave.
And we have strong evidence that time is the same on the radius line, because several radioactive elements decayed at the same rate as they do on Earth..

O M G
I heard the other day that Christmas is over 2 months away.
But how do they know??
No one's ever been into the future before. We haven't even sent a probe one millisecond into the future!
Since we only know where we've physically been... the fishbowl ends at the present time. Predicting the future is extending our fishbowl!
Time could act differently 2 months from meow.
Time could act differently seconds from now!
Christmas could be tomorrow... it could be 10 years from now.
How can we know that time will act the same if we've never been there before? This is crazy talk, people. Wake up!!
Your religious belief that Christmas is 2 months away is nuts!
I'm buying presents right now.
For the next 10 Christmases.
Because I can only act within the fishbowl!!
What a loony.

Creation reminds me of a Doobie Brothers song
But what a fool believes, he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
Than nothing at all

Re: nature of time
No. The decay happens/is seen only here. Here in our time. So just because something here takes X amount of time to decay does not mean it does there. You just believed it had to be that way for no real reason.
