B Rates of Change and Multiple Dimensions

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between time, motion, and rates of change, with participants debating the definitions and implications of these concepts. There is confusion about whether time can be equated with displacement or motion, and whether higher-order derivatives, like "jerk," represent additional dimensions. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding mainstream physics before proposing new theories, arguing that speculation without a solid foundation can lead to misconceptions. The conversation highlights the necessity of evidence and established scientific principles in discussions about physics. Ultimately, the thread underscores the value of learning classical physics to better engage in such discussions.

OK. So should I give up?

I retract my previous statement. I am not able to distinguish between space and time. I just think I can due to an illusion caused by consciousness.

There is not much we can do to help you then. If you can’t even distinguish between a clock and a ruler then you will have a very hard time with physics.

I think it is time to close this thread. If you wish to learn physics then please open a new thread with a substantive question
