To the science majors/scientists/science geeks out there...

[wonderbear]

all this thinking is hurting my little brain

[iwantFUEGO]

oh no, its definate

you forget, time doesnt end (or at least i hope not)

if you have the ability to shake that box till the end of time, its definate

Yeah its definate mathematically...

How are you gonna say time is infinite? Time isnt even an actual physical thing. This is like those mathematicians that claim that time travel is possible just because you can measure time in a few physics equations.

[wonderbear]

i thought time was physical, a matter of space and gravity, or some such thing......or somethin


btw: i've no idea what i'm talking about, anyone know what i'm trying to say?

Time is a method of measuring our days so humans can keep relative track of their lives.

Time can't exist... its just a measurement of elapsed sunrises and sunsets.

[wonderbear]

i heard different........that you could actually measure time

like if you send someone around the universe and back and they don't age???


......................anyone have an answer to that?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time

wiki on time, since wikipedia is the great bastion of all eternal knowledge and wisdom

i guess it's all debatable like everything else, big surprise

thats a pretty crazy theory...

Figure out a way to go to the end and back and prove it...

you'll be the next age bill gates... a total billionaire/genius.

[wonderbear]

well, i do believe that time is a created aspect, not infinite, but finite; but yeah, i'm not going to be PROVING anythign anytime soon

Maybe you can explain how we on earth see 6 billion year old light.

6 billion year old light would be 6 billion lightyears away.

No, it would have been 6 billion lightyears away 6 billion years ago. Not a complex concept, we see light which is coming to us, not going away.

[wonderbear]

what's the whole thing with the "old light" is it that the light we're getting is of a certain wavelength that we know that it came from a long ways away?

or the light reflected from far away planets?
