Is Time An Illusion?

THENUMBER1022 · Oct 11, 2011

think of a anti-gravity or time-traveling machine as having a programmed electronic disk (essentially a CD or DVD) that is powered and programmed in such a way that it reacts with the photons of light or another reactant, and directs it into a vortex that contains enough power to travel through space effortlessly and near the speed of sound. We cant make a disk of plastic, tape some mylar on one side, and expect to hear the music we love to listen to. So its a matter of understanding gravity and/or space to the extent of programming modules to interact with space/time in a very specific way, almost as unique as a firing pin or fingerprint.. could explain crop circles to some degree..

the reference towards the mayan shit isn't necessarily bullshit, however all of these shroom eating / LSD loving (myself included) are starving for answers and are writing their own, using a civilization that no longer exists as the example. Translation of their context is mostly assumed, and far from proven. Most observers have found writings or carvings or symbols and interpreted them as something that was not necessarily their original meaning. A lot of the general claims regarding the mayan prophecy and calendar are beyond far fetched.

Yes their culture was fascinating and deserves to be studied and respected, but so are ant hills. They were either helped or had secret knowledge that didn't make its way to our generation (or has it?) its difficult to say a civilization could predict the future..

Yea, sorry if I have a life on the weekend. Being the OP, I can go OT whenever I like, that's the point. I wouldn't come within 20 feet of your ass so it must be someone else fingering you there. Just quit pretending you understand things that you are merely guessing at. Learn to use qualifying statements when you say things like time isn't real or that you understand Einstein's theories.

i think it's dumb of you to assume that someone else does not understand it. how the fuck do you know?

Because he repeatedly butchered them. It's not an assumption when he makes his lack of understanding clear for all to read.

That's not true. I said valid shit, that you must have refused to read.

...I talked to a friend who's a member of RASC, I asked this specific question: "do you think time is an illusion" and he replied "it is the most accurate measure we have - must be a pretty good illusion."

And it is.

...it trapped my type-o in your quote, that's no illusion!

...just a quote that I appreciate.

TIME: He should not be discouraged because others have gone ahead on the path more quickly than he, any more than he should be gratified because some have gone ahead more slowly than he, for the fact is that the goal he seeks is already within his grasp. He is the Overself that he seeks to unite with, and the time it seems to take to realize this is itself an illusion of the mind. Let him, therefore, go forward at his own rate and within the limits of his own strength, leaving the result in the hands of God. - Paul Brunton

does time apply to things outside of the planet or is it just relative to our own existence?

It's everywhere. It's just the measurement of the movement of shit. The Earth has "Years" The Sun has "Ages" etc.

olylifter420 · Oct 20, 2011

that just dont make sense to me man... i was really thinking about the other night while blazin some keef,,

if we were to travel to a stare far away, would we not be traveling back in time?

No. The voyage would take time, even near lightspeed. Onboard time will slow relative to the stationary baseline, but the direction of time cannot be reversed. cn

cool, but we would age slower right ?

Pretty much. The effect is not linear however. Let's specify a star ten light-years distant. If we go on a fast trip at just under lightspeed, we'll have aged ten years less than the slow universe. If we however take the trip at 1% of lightspeed, the thousand-year trip will have us arriving with a thirty-seven-day time deficit. cn

Of course not. We would be degenerating as we got there, and so would they. We are seeing "Old light" when we look at stars, but going there wouldn't be the same as looking.

Theoretically even being in a plane makes you age slower. "The faster you go, the slower you age."
But I personally don't think that would be true.
