Hi Panda, Why should I answer your diversion question when you have not addressed anything I have written? No.You have had 3 days to invalidate my claims. If you were able to do so you would have done so already.Now to your question. As written no answer can be given. Things I would need to answer the question is as follows.At what coordinates is the object that is coming from the N located at the time I am to begin my caculations and at what distance from 0,0,0.I would need the velocity of said object.At what coordinates is the object that is coming from the S located at the time I am to begin my caculations and at what distance from 0,0,0.I would also need the velocity of said object.Then since you believe that time is a dimension of the universe I would need you to be very specific in what numbers you would want me to use to quantify the distance traveled per unit of whatever you want to call it.In other words I would need to know in feet per ???? the speed of the objects.If they were traveling the same velocity and was the same distance from the coordinates they would collide as both would arrive at the coordinates simultaneously.God Bless,

There is a duration between events in your life. What is that duration then? Gravity is generated by mass. Why? Let's time things using something universal, such as the frequency of oscillation of Caesium atoms.Somebody moving at a half the speed of light past a collection of muons measure half of them to decay when the Caesium atoms they were carrying with them had oscillated 23,246 times. (Experimental fact)
Somebody stationary next to the muons would measure a half of them to decay when their Caesium atoms have oscillated 20,132 times. (Experimental fact)Why this difference in their time measurments?
Why is the ratio between the measurements 0.8660414695, the exact amount predicted by models where time is a dimension?(As for your actual example of the Earth's rotation, observers moving at high speeds relative to Earth see the Earth rotating faster.)

Hi Stile, God has a physical body very similar to yours.
God is omnipresent. Everywhere.
I see Him and talk to Him and He talks to me all the time.You say why can't I see Him then? Because you are not looking for Him. But I specified a specific year. Lets see, the frame is made of metal. Are you telling me that metal did not exist 300 years ago?If the metal did not exist 300 years ago, who created the material that is now the metal in the frame of my car? Are you saying I could not give you the coordinates of my house without the dimension of time?That is stupid.My house exists at x,y,z coordinates.God Bless,

Hi Son, Existence Why does leap seconds have to be added to the time kept by the atomic clocks?Isn't it because they do not keep the same time as the time determined by the rotations of the earth relative to the sun in relation to distant quasars? What machine has someone built and traveled at half the speed of light in to produce your experimentsl fact? What speeds are you talking about?So does the earth speed up in relation to distant quasars?God Bless,Edited by ICANT, : No reason given.Edited by ICANT, : No reason given.

Relationships between two standardisations of measurement are not really related to physics. How do you think this is an important point?I'm not interested in how atomic clocks line up with the sidereal year, it's not an important point in relation to the nature of physical reality. No more than the relation between yards and meters. For half the speed of light the travelling was not done by human beings. If you want trips done by human beings there is the experiments by Hafele and Keating in the 1970s used atomic oscillation measurements on flying planes. They recorded a difference in the number of oscillations on the two planes in exact accordance with those predicted by time being a dimension. From the viewpoint of distant quasar, Earth's rotation is faster than from our point of view.

I can't give you the velocity without involving the dimension of time.
And since you don't think time exists as a dimension, I am not sure how to answer your request.Or do you have a definition of velocity that doesn't involve time?

Yes, the spatial location of your house only requires the three spatial coordinates. However in describing objects in more general situations, such fluid flow, e.t.c. it is necessary to use a temporal label as well. This is basic physics, objects are at certain positions at certain times, you need to specify both.At slow speeds and weak gravity you can get away with using time as if it were just a "number", not a physical thing that can distort.However if gravity is strong this pretence becomes impossible to maintain.One cannot explain the precession of the perihelion of mercury without the bending of time.If time is not real then why does the perihelion of mercury precess as it does?

You seriously see an image of what you believe to be God and audibly hear this person talking to you? Like, for real you see and hear this?- Oni

Once I get to work, do I stay there forever? Or asked another way is the coordinate 0,0,0 some kind of home or office for objects.And why did you ask where I would be ten minutes after arrival? Where would I be four hours after arrival? Did you specify 10 minutes after arrival time because you sospect I won't head for Starbucks in that amount of time? What if my wife wants to know whether I'm at my own desk or not.What you are engaging in is equivication. An object that is headed for a coordinate in space is not the same as a man headed for home. Home is a destination, but 0,0,0 is just another set of spatial coordinates. Where is the earth headed for now? Is it moving in a direction that leads to where it will be in 6 months? Will it stop when it gets there? Have I made my point yet?And as I have already indicated, your example is one of an infinite number of scenarios. Generally we do need spatial coordinates, temporal coordinates, to predict the future location of objects.Example my dog escapes from his leash and heads for home. If I call my wife ten minutes after the dog's arrival, is the dog at home? According to you, the dog must stay home because it was once headed there. But that directive does not apply to Inzo, who can and will elect to chase a cat across the street at any time.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

Dimension is a co-ordinate you specify a location of an object with. You cannot travel through any of the co-ordinates. Those co-ordinates are strictly relative to each other. You can have any of them at any relative angle relative to any of the planes. Thus you do not get any fixed for the whole of existence idiotic arrows of time or space on the map.You need to start with the basics, Mod. You crypto-creo lot have such a lot of bigbangist nonsense to unlearn.

We've answered this question before ICANT. Leap seconds have nothing at all to do with the rate of electric clocks.Solar days are not uniform. The length of a solar day varies throughout the year, because the earth's orbit is eliptical. The longest solar day is nearly a full minute longer than the shortest. The average or mean solar day is about 86400.002 seconds. On the other hand 24 hours is exactly 86400 seconds. That small difference between a mean solar day and 24 hours accumulates to about 1 second every nine months. We could fix the problem without leap seconds, but doing so would require redefining the second. Nothing except consistency between scientific measurements already made prevents atomic clocks from being set so that a mean solar day is exactly 86400 seconds; at least for now.Note that a mean solar day is an entirely mathematical construction. Every single day/night cycle during the year is different that both a mean solar day and 24 hours.Of course the earth is also slowing down and eventually the solar day will increase above 86400 seconds. In other words, the earth does not keep perfect time. But time dilation has nothing to do with leap seconds.But again, you've heard this before.

Right. Time does not have time. Length doesn't have length. What's your point? No, I think I was quite clear in that the 2 x 4 can be changed in a sufficient amount that any reasonable person would stop calling it a 2 x 4. It was a piece of wood 2 inches thick, 4 inches wide, and 2 foot long. After you burned it, it wasn't. Thus there was a time period where that configuration of energy was called a 2x4, now it is something else.If you want to say 'but energy might be eternal', I'd say sure, that might be true, but it doesn't mean objects of human definition have to considered eternal. I've answered this question. Does what you call that process have any bearing on the topic? If you believe that Columbus proved the earth was round you wouldn't be alone either. You'd still be wrong. Observation disagrees with you. Though the the measurement we used was initially because of the timings of the sun in our sky, that does not mean that is the definition of time or duration or whatever. Now we look to other, much more regular effects, such as vibrations of atoms and the like. But if the atom is travelling at high speeds, people at low speeds will see it vibrating at a different rate. If you were travelling at the same speed it will appear to be as normal. Of course, you cited a paper which disproves this. Even if it is not a dimension, it is something. And if nothing exists, neither does duration.Edited by Modulous, : No reason given.

I didn't know how to respond to this in my first post, but I simply have to know. When you say God has a physical body does he actually have a male or female body for example?Also, like onifre, I'm wondering do you literally mean you hear him, or do you "feel his words" or something like that?

OK, but then that would mean 'travel through space' was wrong too. But we can go from one co-ordinate to another both spatially and temporally (within certain limitations) that's all I was saying. I started with Newton, did a brief tour of pre-Newton and worked my way up to the beginnings of Einstein. What else do I need to do?

A 2 by 4 (affectionately pronounced tube-buh-foh) actually measures 1.5 inches by 3.5 inches.Nit picking NoNukes
