Brian Greene: "The Past is as Real as the Present
it's all symantics for crying out loud! just because it's not tangable, time does progress. it's only with a very narrow view of the universe and it's properties could time possibly not exist. our clocks do not measure spacific time, they're simply a device to give us a general idea of how much...- Gir

Brian Greene: "The Past is as Real as the Present
simply because we cannot see something with our eyes does not mean it isn't there. I think insted of arguing about the existence or non-existence of time, we should all come up with some common definition of time. this argument is going nowhere because we all have a different understanding what...- Gir

High School Don't Understand Why I See Moving Pencils
yes there's a delay, but there's also the problem of your eyes only being able to see about 60 frames per second, anything moving faster than that gives us a false perspective. -

Brian Greene: "The Past is as Real as the Present
Im not sure if you noticed, but the reasons you stated for science being like faith is ignoring scientific method. a big part of that is being impartial. although as with the media, SOME jump to wild conclusions before having an understanding of what they're really looking for.- Gir

Brian Greene: "The Past is as Real as the Present
yes, that's right. just because we cannot at this point explain exactly what causes us to experience time it must not exist. give me a break. time must exist in some sense or we couldn't be having this conversation right now. time definatly progresses as we each type and in turn wait for a...- Gir

High School Why Does Moon's Gravitational Force Overcome Earth's?
think of it like this, the moon doesn't actually cause the water levels to go up and down, it causes more of a sloshing effect with the ocean. -

Graduate Is the Langevin Twins Paradox Validated by Other Experiments?
no, clocks are a method of measure, they are not time itself. they make the passage of time but if you sping the hands backwords time doesn't reverse itself. clocks are exactly like a tape measure in that they both measure something. besides which, this is all totally besides the point.- Gir

High School Is Water Pressure Equal in an Upside Down Submerged Cup?

Does Time Truly Exist or Is It Merely a Human Construct?
okay, you're looking at the universe as a machanical device, machanical devices require time passing in order to get these prosesses going. enforcing the idea that time is real. moving of an object takes time, I am not saying motion IS time, only a reference to a point in time. a visable clue...- Gir

Does Time Truly Exist or Is It Merely a Human Construct?
yes, but if someone were watching this happen it isn't as though the person would fade from existence during that time. the person with said disorder would still be there, meaning simply blanking out doesn't cause time for that person to stop. time passes no matter if we're aware of it or not...- Gir
