The Nature of Time

Jim Snowdon

Time either exists or it doesn`t. There are only the two possibilities. Our highly developed technology has not yet found any physical evidence that time exists.

Take the Moon. Cold, lifeless, non-rotating, had we had evolved on the Moon, there`s not much reason we would think about time except for that we are conscious.

Jim Snowdon

With no evidence, we carry on believing in time as if it was expected? If the Earth didn`t rotate, would we still use the expression, `My isn`t time flying!`

It`s a yes or no, it`s 2021, we need to drop the assumption.

Hi Jim, merry christmass to you and your familly, and a happy new year, without time :) friendly

Steve Dufourny

Hi Georgina, to you too a merry christmass and happy new year, regards

Jim Snowdon

Hi Steve,

Merry Xmas to you.

Jim Snowdon

If the Moon rotated as our Earth does, we would certainly believe in time. When travelling at a surface speed of 1,700 kilometers per hour, we would have no problem believing! Yet, if our Moon did not rotate, which it does not, would we believe time exists?

Hi Steve,

What if you got what you asked for Xmas? A new stealth space ship the Americans aren`t being very open about.

You fly to your girlfriend`s house, pick her up, and head to the moon for a dinner engagement. Having dinner on the patio, you pop the question.

Do you believe in time?

You are hoping she does because you bought her a watch for Xmas.

Merry Xmas!

Steve Dufourny

you know Jim, I am not complicated, I just want the peace of the mind time or not. I just want this like an humble travellers from stars where the differences of cultures, countries, religions, philosophies have disappeared to make place to this universalism, wish you all the best my friend.

If you don't think time is real, try convincing your landlord!

Georgina Woodward

Thank you Steve. Many happy returns and good wishes to you.

Sounds pretty good to me Jim!

Tom Grazier

The ideas are clear and concise. The story about the stealth spaceship which is an American secret was a lot of fun!

I think the dam is about to burst. We are going to have a scientific tsunami!

Steve,

Buy yourself a good umbrella, I think it`s going to rain all over.

Jim Snowdon

Maybe next Xmas you can ask for a miniature nuclear submarine? There are rumours from the nuclear submarine deal between the U.K., Australia, and America, that miniatures are going to be stealth submarines?

It`s a must have!

Jim Snowdon

Maybe next year you could ask for a miniature stealth submarine.

I understand the Americans aren`t very open about subs either?

Jim Snowdon

Steve, you say you are not complicated. In my view, that is a fib,

Jim Snowdon

I think we have some exciting new opportunities in in our understanding of the nature of time.

Jim Snowdon

Hi Steve,

I have a few friends who are now eager to do some posting.

Give them the same brutal treatment you give me.
