Hmmm, well you all make convincing arguments, so at this point I think the original intent of my starting this thread has reached it's end so I personally don't have any further comments. I've learned that my imagination has evolved beyond my math skills to back it up, perhaps a sign it's time...

Hmmm, Ok, well all that sounds about right, but it argues against a point I don't (think) I was making. I don't believe I implied any postulate of an effect of 'absolute' velocity'. One thing I said before was that because time can only be observed indirectly based upon the occurrence of...

Well ok, biology aside I was not trying to say that the effect was any different for quartz crystals or radioactive material. So when I say it is only an 'observed' effect, I guess what I mean is this: All time when you break it down is a measurement of motion against another measurement of...

Just one more thing, Light travels through 'spacetime' not spatial dimension only... Of course there's also those claims of getting light to slow down to a complete stop in lab experiments. I suppose then light would be traveling through time only, at the speed of... Light! (not sure what the...

YES, this is exactly what I was getting at, phrased another way. I suppose I should know better than to use hypothetical examples of people traveling *at* the speed of light... but essentially, "interactions at the atomic, molecular, biolgical, etc." are what you would "outrun" if you did...

DrGreg, Yes, actually that does help a bit. First, it would be silly for me to claim that a human's consciousness could be localized to a zero dimensional point. I guess I was thinking of it more in terms of your consciousness merely having a 'point of reference' from which to base our...

Isn't relativity violated without that 'mathematical convenience'? It's easy to miss this, so read closely... you're assuming the whole brain to be a discrete object which exists entirely at point (0,1). This is perfectly fine for every day purposes, however, the brain occupies *space*...

First of all, I'm an electrical engineer, I had to take a class on modern physics, so answers don't need to be "dumbed down" so let me START with the question: Can anyone see a flaw in my logic/interpretation of what's happening? My goal is to gain a more accurate conceptual (not mathematical)...
