This video made me think.
What if we defined time incorrectly?
There are a ton of anomalies when we deal with time. We do come up with theories (answers) for why that is. Makes sense.
However. What if all these anomalies are because our equation on time is incorrect?
Wonder if any of the brainiacs out there are trying to disprove the theory of time?

Food for thought.
 
Welp...it can't really be challenged as far as human beings are concerned. We are it and it is us. We can observe a beginning and end of most things and have formulated that virtually everything known lives/dies.

It is relative.

As stated in the video, time fucking CHANGES depending on where you are in the Universe. So...knowing it does and observing how much it varies when coupled against the proximity to various gravitational source strengths is a pretty big clue to, well, just about everything?

Time slowing to a standstill while parked next to a black hole more or less lends to the belief that past the event horizon, time ceases to exist AND/OR comes to a standstill OR starts to run in reverse?

....whoa.

I just had an epiphany.

I get it now....I understand why the Billionaire Boy's Club guise want into DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE so bad.

Time is a measure of distance only. That's all it is.


1 year = 1 trip of Earth around the Sun.
1 month = 1 trip of the Moon around the Earth.

The part that gets trippy is when you come to learn that time and space are connected and time and space is relative to one's position of observation.


Imagine if you will that you are seated on a bluff with a train traveling along a train track running from left to right directly in front of your view, at 60 feet per second. Now then imagine in one of the train cars is a man standing in front of a window, bouncing a ball on the table in front of him, with the ball returning to his hand every second, while his travel companion sits beside him.

To the man and his companion on the bus the ball is simply going straight up and down and not traveling in any other direction.


But to you viewing the train going by at 60 feet per second it would appear to you that the ball is traveling in an arc of 60 feet on each bounce per second!

Think about it!

I understand how we look at time. Also know once it proves to work, we look at everything through this lens so to speak only.
simply asking. What if there's more to it?
but your train analogy reminds me of Nascar. They claim closest races through time. So naturally the closest race is considered on the fastest tracks. But at least up to a few years ago. If you took a snap shot when the race ended. It would have been a slower track that would have the record if counting the distance from the moment the race ended. But since we use distance through time. It is the faster tracks, since records are through time & not distance. not that this really has much to do with my original question, but this is a thinking forum & that was always a thing that I thought about LOL

but off this planet time doesnt work as well. Which is why we have theories of bending time ensech. Which may be completely correct. How the hell would I know? But what if .........
We created the definition of time. Wouldnt be the 1st time in a scientific community, a definition got changed.
 
Here is something I never knew.
Our days change all through the year.
When they would longest or shortest day of the year. I always thought they were talking of sunrise to sunset. Wasnt even thinking the actual 24 hour day is changing.

Other food for thought.
 
What are your thoughts on it taking 365.25 days to go around the sun?

Wouldn't each year place the Earth a bit further around the Sun and the Earth is never in the same place relative to the Sun YOY until 1460 years later?
 
time is, like, a construct, man

but actually, from a nonlinear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more
like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff"

Time is merely a measure of intervals. And, exceedingly relative.

aint nobody got time for that GIF
 
Time is a mechanic invented by man to try to force some sort of understanding of the big picture. Nothing else in existence has any concept of our time. You can melt your brain trying to comprehend it.


Reminds me of something I read once that made me realize how stupid I am without even knowing it. <yeah yeah, you got jokes!>

Time was invented to keep everything from happening all at once.
