Time and Space

@someone_else_again Said

Alright, I'll bite.



Here you see four (or possibly eight, but let's just say it's four for this) different colored ropes braided together. Nobody would argue that one of the colored ropes is the same rope as another. They are clearly separate, yet they are entwined.

The terms are not mutually exclusive.

@townie_guy Said

If they are totally seperate, you can alter time without it affecting space. If the ropes were totally seperate I could bend one and it wouldnt affect the others.

However with Einstein, what happens to one, affects the other.
Faster you go the shorter you get

So if I alter ie stretch or bend on of the ropes it will affect the others.

@someone_else_again Said

Hmm... I don't know about that. Does "separate" automatically mean "separated?" Does it always have to mean isolated or independent?

@townie_guy Said

Not necessarily, but in the example you gave, if I altered one rope it would affect the others. Unless of course all the ropes occupy that space but at different times. Then they would not affect each other.

@someone_else_again Said

Okay. You are talking about time and space. That's only two things. I showed you an example with four. Let's look at it with two:



If I alter one strand..for example, unwind it...it changes the structure of the overall "rope" but not of the other strand. So if black = space and white = time, manipulating black doesn't actually change the white, it simply changes what the white and black look like together.

@townie_guy Said

Going back to the link I gave you. If you alter one strand, it will change the other strands length. So if you remove time, the other strand will appear longer.

@townie_guy Said

However if it were say put in a place unobserved and unwound, it would both affect the other strand and not affect the other strand, at the same time. Although this is turning a bit quantam now.

....

@someone_else_again Said


Yeah, let's not go there.

@townie_guy Said

It actually pretty interesting, a lot of things can be done at quantam level which seem impossible at our level. Its kinda mind boggling as well.

@someone_else_again Said

I'm sure it's very interesting but I am not very science oriented. The little bit that I've said in this thread is clearly not based on scientific...anything.

@townie_guy Said

Im back into my human psychology now.

Was debating doing an Open University degree in a field of science but with the amount of time it would take, I would be too old to get into that line of work.

@someone_else_again Said

Human psychology as opposed to what? Animal?

I don't know that you're too old to get into that line of work.
