Hello! I haven't played for so long so I thought I should make this thread.
This thread is open for debate. TO A CERTAIN POINT. As in please debate with me. But no illogical shouts your dumb and anything that is just stupid to say with no reason why. You either say I'm dumb then say why. If I think your breaking this rule. I'll get a someone to block you from the page and to erase your post to keep it clear. And this chat is it be clean. No cursing, no suggesting dirty stuff etc. But I want debate here. If you think what I have weitten is wrong in any small way or the whole thing is wrong then we can debate it. These posts are made to give advise for life. So here is my first post. I have a lot of these kind of posts ready. I will try to space them out so it's continuos. Also I write these posts for a Facebook page I'm a admin for ca page called Spock. So feel free to like the page if you like what you see.
For staters we will star with a simple, but important one.
TIME.
Time. Time can be thought of as a predator. Stalking you, getting closer each second. This is actually death, but they are very similar. Time. Time is the most constant thing in your life. Time is never changing. One minute is one minute. Time is something that will always be the same. Time is constant as the sun shining. Now with that said time is the most ever changing thing in you life. It can change in a blink of a eye or be as slow as a turtle. It can speed up and can slow down. Seconds can feel like minutes. Minutes can feel like hours and days can feel like years. Minutes could also feel like seconds. Hours can be like minutes. So with all this what is time? Is it constant or is it not? It is not constant. Time will run out. There will be a time when time isn't there. This is called infinity. So time will be going slower with you while you are at a meeting and time will speed up while out playing around. But all time runs out. Don't know when, but time will turn into infinity in a blink of a eye. Will you be ready at all 'times'?

Interesting philosophical hypothesis. However, Time is actually a straight line function without variance unless certain universal parameters dictate otherwise. I believe what you are trying to state in your thesis is your perception of Time in relation to local environment. As for Time running out as a constant in the galactic scheme of things, I'm fairly certain you are attempting to describe Entropy.
Intriguing posit by the way. Reminds me of when I was attempting to assist my middle son with his logistics class. Well done.
time isn't a straight line, it's curved; as in, space-time is a saddle-shaped thingy (technical word escapes me) according to my memory of the book that hawking wrote. As a function of space, time is also elastic, stretching out long periods of time where you are unhappy, and shortening periods of time where you are happy. Beer isn't proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy - as happy time runs at approx twice the speed of unhappy time - its actually proof that according to the subjective experience, we are unhappier for larger portions of our lives, regardless of the actual figures on the clock, and independent of the set perceptual set of the observer. In other words, just because time feels like it is going more slowly, doesnt mean that it isnt.
moreover, regardless of lorentz covariance violation, the cherenkov radiation released through nuclear fission leads us to posit tachyon formation, which are small fast particles that CANNOT go slower than the speed of light, much like a humming bird cannot stop flapping its wing. These particles have made us question the rigidity of the law 'thou shalt not break the speed of light'.
Space-time is all around us. we are an organic robot with a skeleton made of star-dust, and both tachyons and bradyons are all around us, all the time. just sitting in a chair means that you are travelling in space time - not only is the world rotating, but the planet is orbiting the sun, and the sun is orbiting the centre of the galaxy, and the galaxy is gradually drifting in *points* that direction, but we are also growing imperceptibly older, second by second. This said, it comes as no surprise to me that our subjective experience of spacetime can be that of 'bloody long day today' and the next week 'wow, thursday has gone past much quicker than it did last week'.
of course, i could be wrong and the monks of time could be stealing all the best bits
Well... I won't take part at this debate. I just want to offer my answer at your question:

No. Definitely... not ready! Because "...with all this what is time? Is it constant or is it not? It is not constant." and is true. Neither the rotational period of Earth is not perfectly constant so... the duration of a second would vary. Anyway, you reminded me by a strange song: "You and I".
Perfect answer people! Now I will try to answer all you have giving me. First yes Drak I made this from a single man view. But I also made it in everyone's view. Contradicting, but these are metaphors. Yes time is a straight line. I know this, but like you said I made it to a relationship a person. What does it feel like. I could define time as a straight line and be done with it. I made this to define it and what it feels to us. For me and you time bends in what it feels like. You guys have already made the relationship of how it feels to bend time so I will not give more examples. Secondly onto the party if how it was made in a general view. Time was created time will stop. I made this with lots of meaning in each sentence. So I made it mean a single mans life and the life if everyone. I did this by saying time will run out. This is true for both the universe and you and I. You and me will die. Our time will run out and we will go into infinity. Where there is no time. Same with the universe. The time of the universe will come and everyone will go into infinity. 'Will you be ready at all times' we don't know when you time will be up. So ideally you try to be ready for it at all times. The last sentence is the strongest metaphor.
Now to coin. Coin I think your trying to say if you were going light speed time would bend. If this is not so then just tell me etc. But I will go off my assumption. First yes time can be bent by going light speed. Also I know that time acts differently in space. I'm going for what is the relationship between time to a human being. Now theoretically time is a straight line. But you could be trying to disprove this. Now this is why I think time is in technical way straight. First let's go by what it is. Time is counting 1....2....3....4....5 etc. Forever. One second consists with one second. One minute can always be measured and be the same as it was hundreds of years ago. Now if someone let's say had a starship that went light speed. And let's say to them on the ship time bent. But now think about earth. Let's say it went from earth to point B and came back within what felt like a few minutes. But earth said it lasted ten days. Who is right and who is wrong? I believe the earth time us right. I'll will give one more example. Imagine you in space somehow and your looking at this ship from far way. It's doing nothing just flying. It runs into a anomaly. This anomaly makes time within it's barriers slow down. So within a few seconds you see the ship enter and few more seconds it blows up. But those seconds on the ship were maybe a year. And they tried for years trying to get out. But eventually they died and then the ship blew up. What time is right? Hopefully I have answered all what I shoulda answered.

no, im not trying to say if you were going light speed time would bend. im saying that time is already bent. ripples in spacetime cause disturbances in the force fluctuations in the speed of time. A second does not always equal a second, in the same way that magnetism is not uniform over a given area, and that gravity fluctuates with the season.
Time is not counting. Time existed before we learnt to count, and will exist long after we are gone. counting is the way we arbitrarily measure time, but we do not in fact measure it at all. If i measure the height of a table, i use a tape measure and compare the distance of two points. So, if we want to measure 'time', we take our ruler and... wait. you don't use a ruler to measure time. you use a clock. so, we take our clock and lean it up against time and then measure that.
ofcourse, thats a little silly, but presuming that we are measuring time because we have started and stopped a clock is fallacious. Time is a component of space time, in the same way that width is a component of the three dimensions. if you try to consider space without the time component, you might as well ignore width.
all im saying is:
1. activity alters our perception of time
2. time is elastic, and speeds up and slows down, like a boat travelling across water, some days the water is smooth, the other days the water is choppy and more distance is covered but in the same amount of 'time', meaning that the speed is increased. no wonder we get tired.
3. time that we measure and time that is the component of space time are related, but not the same, in the same was that mass and weight are not the same.
Truth is, because time and space are relative to the method by which they are measured, and where they are measured, the only true thing that can be said about either is that our ability to perceive them is too minute to produce accuracy.
Even the best math can't prove that either is curved, bent, or elastic.
It's all a best guess.
Gravitic anomalies, speed relative to source points, and our inability to perceive the whole make any statement about what time/space is, or might be, pure speculation.
Imagine a scientist looking over a Petrie dish full of live cultures.
The scientist has a wholly different view of the processes than the live culture.
And we're in the Petrie dish.
There's no way for us to see the dish as a whole, we can only extrapolate a 'best guess' from our minute perspective.
Yes I think the best answer is it depends on your view. Are point of looking from etc. I do want to point out that I was referring in my little post what time was to a human view. Etc. I'll post another one soon. Make sure I can space them out nicely and so any other comments come up.
