    Time?

    when i think of motion i see it as something changing this change exists but time is just a man made mesurement of this change.
  2. and threfore in physical aspects that is not correct so it is not an absolute
  3. but i was talking about physical reality
  4. or blacked out... so really u are only talking about existing in psychological terms
  5. but wat if ur in a coma does that mean u no longer exist?
  6. can u tell me a bit about nihilism, its philosophy
  7. with the hapiness thing i meant relative hapiness so however a person see's hapiness, even if it means suffering to get to that hapiness..wat i meant by not suffering, is that suffering without a point..if the only point is hapiness by that i meant suffering without getting hapiness in the return. I think u r completely right that i should not have used extremes, 2 groups:ignorant and not ignorant... realistically everyone is a bit of both... i just have a habit of thinking in black and white. "At this point, considering our understanding of what lies ahead after this existance, I really think that to worry about such things after this life is a moot point and shouldn't be worried about, at all. If there is nothing after our lives, then one must live this one to the fullest, so that others may do so" In this quote you state exactly what i was trying to say, exept i think ur statment was more optimistically expressed than mine...since i used life is pointless and that word can be view in different ways...well to me it must have a different meaning since u disagreed with me and stated exactly wat i was thinking....by pointless i dont mean that it doesnt have a purpose in the present to themselves and others but in their end. I just think that i view life as absurd because i dont fully understand it, it seems contradicting and without any sort of certainty, thats why i started out my discussion with the absolute theory thing. I dont think anyone can ever understand life, i dont think anyones brain could hold that much capacity, thats why the meaning of life can never be a simple theory. And something which is unexplainable and not understandable is usssually refered to as absured.
  8. first of all, a small mistake which is indeed a very interesting one: "the sun orbits around the earth". I am sure you meant to write "the earth orbits the sun". ... Acctually i did that on purpose, because even though we know now that it isnt true..the fact that humans believed that sort of thing before shows typical human attitudes..believing that we are superior or special...thats all i was trying to mean by that. I agree with what u have said, but i think it is because of our different ways of thinking and expressing ourselves that u have misunderstood what i had intended to say. Like one exaple ..when u said the absolute exists that the earth does revolve around the sun..i was asking really general absolutes..like for example: time does not exist...something like that, which is a theory which can't be proven with measurments or in a physical sense. Also u r right when u say ignorance is relative..i am sorry i should not have used that word. What i meant was people who don't really think for themselves and don't study the physical world. When i said life is pointless, i was saying that in the terms of wat happens to us in the end..(if u dont believe in souls or watever)because in the end all we do is die and no longer exist so wat is the point in suffering ..isn't it better to be happy, if in the end there is no point (or should i say no existance, nothing) If there is nothing in the end for us than life is like a dream, in the end its like it didnt happen so wats the point in worrying about something that in the end didnt even happen.......do u get wat im trying to say..im sorry i keep repeating it but i want to put it in a way which u can relate to so that u can have comments against wat i have meant to say.. I don't mind critisism as long as we're on the same wavelenght
  9. Do absolutes on something general acctually exist?... philosophically speaking, is there any absolute theory that is wholly accurate and can be proven without any exeptions, so proven in everyway... I believe that just because you dont see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but it doesnt mean it does either. So what im trying to say is that you can say watever u want that it exists, it is still an illusion until it acctually happens. Does anyone have any evidence that there is such a thing as souls, heaven or anything that makes us happy believing that atleast in some way we still exist after death, other than just believing that because we feel better. If we stop our common attitudes about ourself for one second, that we are "intelligent" species and blah blah the sun orbits around the earth, and realise that it is a deluded sense. So wat if we can think about "complex things" and make computers and have electricity other animals can do other things aswell and plants can do things that we cant..who knows about other things in this universe, so why do we feel that we are special enough to have something like a soul or heaven? We create all these illusions, simple or complex and nearly never just see wat is simple REALITY, we are like everything else and after our death our bodies decay and we no longer exist. U might say but this is only physically, yeh! but thats all we know for sure..wat happens to us physically, its the only thing we can trust, there are so many theories just based on illusion, who knows if there wrong or right, But all that we know for sure is wat happens to us physically. And if in the end after our death we no longer exist in anyway...isn't the absolute truth that everything is pointless? Like the extentialsts theory states..i dont know if i spelled the name right..but anyways If thats true than arn't the most ignorant people who never think the most smartest? Because wat is the point in thinking when everything ends up being pointless, at the end the only thing that really matters is the quantity of happiness because why suffer for a pointless cause. And then if u really think about it, these 2 groups of ppl are contradicting themselves... because the ignorant ppl believe in illusions and dont think about REALITY- which suits them in the end, because everything is pointless u might aswell be happy in ur illusions...and the ppl who think and believe in facts and REALITY , suffer by thinking for the ignorant ppl, giving them electricity and computers and techonological things and giving them order...and in the end the REALITY which they believe in is against them because all this thinking was pointless so they really have suffered for no reason. and the weird thing is that they believe that wat they are doing is pointless because they believe in REALITY. ........does anyone get wat im saying...that everything is absurd!..there are so many other examples of human absurdity that it really makes me think that i shouldent be thinking cause looking at life to me is like reading a book written in jiberish.
  10. It obeys the same rules like addition multiplication so the array of mn numbers set out in m rows and n colums is the matrix of m x n . And these arrays that are treated as single enteties and that are under the matrix algebra are used where ever there are simultaneous equations. Like "changing from one set of Cartesian axes to another set that is inclined to the first I aM Interested in wat u are saying..is there anyway u could simplify this philosophy, so that i could understand it better.
  11. why would u need to buy it,

    Time?

    tim lou, u can never go back in time physically.. even if u reverse the decay of particles u would just be reversing change...time does not exist physically!!!!...only psychologically

    Time?

  14. im 17 and i cant stop thinking, and trying to make up philosophies that are the absolute thruth. But i have found that most philosophies are generalisations, and generalisations always seem to have errors...also i pulled my friends hair and now he hates me..which has nothing to do with this i know..
  15. I believe time does not exist at all and i belive that "nothing" does not exist, because everything has something. But at the same time I also believe that there is no such thing as reality for human beings because everyone slowly decays and unless there is such a thing as a soul it is like we never existed so in the end (if you believe that everything has a begining and end) there is no such thing as reality for us.

    Time?

    it is possible for time travel. it will be just like everything become what they were b4 and you stay the same. Plz tell me how this will ever be possible! You are concluding a very complex idea such as time travell in such simplicity. The reality is that it is NOT simple like this. How can things just stop? how can go they go back to the state they were in before? Has this ever happened before? NO! And why is that? Because it is easy to state a theory when all you are doing is typing, acctually doing what you have said is impossible... I could say that becoming a surgeon is easy but becoming one is a different story to saying i'm going to become one.
  17. "The Perceptional Law establishes that the physical senses can perceive the physical universe in its present time only." By physical sense what do u mean... I could feel physically that I could fly it does not mean that this will happen in the physical universe.
  18. By the perception Law, If I thought that I could fly and I jumped of a bridge would I start flying?
  19. I believe that many things in life and/or science that we consider real and/or factual..is just an illusion, just a perception. To get to the core of some things is impossible because there is so many other things you have to consider and study first. To really explain reality i think is a ridiculous notionesp. if you generalise it in one theory. Generalisations are mainly expressed when the individual is too lazy, that is why they need something to sum everything up to make it easy for themselves. Generalisations are ussually supported ussually by not very many examples; not everything is considered, which is the main reason generalisations esp. big generalisation such as "what is reality, fact.. ect " always have errors. You say that time dilation is an illusion, have you ever even looked at more examples other than the train one, which i can see ur point in, what about moun decay.Muon decay, illustrates the dilation of time in a moving object. This occurs in the decay of unstable elementary particles called muons. These particles are created high in the atmosphere by fast cosmic-ray particles arriving at the earth from space. Muons have a speed of 0.998c, their lifetime is 0.000002 sec, therefore they can only travel only 600m.However, they are created at altitudes more than ten times greater than this. If we use the Lorentz contraction formula we can see that in our reference frame they have traveled 9500m.And because in the muons frame of reference it only takes 600m to reach the ground and in our reference frame it seems like it has travelled 9500m to us it seems that its lifetime has been extended.Since Muons travel at such high speeds they are able to dilate there lifetime and/or contract the lenght for them to reach ground level, otherwise they wouldent be able to reach sea level at profusion. This proves time dilation. If u want it to be called time dilation, it is really decay dilation..since time is only man made concept to measure the gradual decay. But wheather you call it time dilation or decay dilation it doesn't matter, the point is it proves the theory of relativity.
  20. I think the discussion of "if time exists" is a very complex topic. Firstly its so hard to get to the core of the discussion instead of constantly going in cycles from one theory to another and this is mainly because there is never an absolute definition to anything and everything is relative. That is why "if time exists" can be looked at two ways or maybe even more...either in a physical sense or psychological. I believe that psychologically anything can exist but that is mainly because it is just our perception of what is happining to us physically. Physically time does not exist, yes it is measured, but what are we really measuring, isn't it just the decay of matter? This decay, is it not due to the influence of gravity ect. matter does not decay because of time, so really time is just a man made concept to explain the gradual decay of matter. So even if time does exists psychologically, it does not affect us. Muon decay, illustrates the dilation of time in a moving object. This occurs in the decay of unstable elementary particles called muons. These particles are created high in the atmosphere by fast cosmic-ray particles arriving at the earth from space. Muons have a speed of 0.998c, their lifetime is 0.000002 sec, therefore they can only travel only 600m.However, they are created at altitudes more than ten times greater than this. If we use the Lorentz contraction formula we can see that in our reference frame they have traveled 9500m.And because in the muons frame of reference it only takes 600m to reach the ground and in our reference frame it seems like it has travelled 9500m to us it seems that its lifetime has been extended.Since Muons travel at such high speeds they are able to dilate there lifetime and/or contract the lenght for them to reach ground level, otherwise they wouldent be able to reach sea level at profusion. This proves time dilation. If u want it to be called time dilation, it is really decay dilation..since time is only man made concept to measure the gradual decay.
