Time

alexandriaaaa -_-:

The Big Bang Theory has been pretty much dissproved-

"Having found supposedly distant quasars in front of nearby galaxies, the Big Bang may be snuffed out."

alexandriaaaa -_-:

when most scientists are not even considering this a theory anymore.

That's just not true. :shifty Most scientists do support the big bang theory and continue to research it, it's the most popular cosmological model.

Yes, I think I do need to stop posting on these forums.. XD You're constantly proving me wrong.
Ugh. :]
Once again, I feel like an idiot.

Nah, you're definitely not an idiot. 8) And you're correct in saying the big bang theory has flaws. The theory is constantly being researched and modified as new details become available, but it's still a valid theory because it's being changed and expanded to meet modern scientific knowledge.

Ahh, okay. :] Yeah, I still feel dumb, though.

By the way, how'd you get so smart? :tehe:

Ohh. I and know why I thought that they weren't using it anymore... one of my science teachers had been talking about it in class and said that a lot of scientists were not going by that theory anymore..
Hmm. Nothing like false information to give to growing minds. :] Just kidding.

A scientist I helped out once said that since we were trying (and successfully) disproved the Red Shift Theory (a major, major part of the Big Bang Theory) we were doing 'crazy Physics'. :XD That was a goood month. And it paid well.

Time confuses me.
I think it's just one of those things that needs to be left alone, to be honest.
I don't want a big hole in anything, and I don't want people going to the future and leaving me alone

You should see the other side of a black hole. :coffee:

^ Dirty thoughts :tehe:
But...Time just freaks me out. :/

I've recently [blame Dad and Doctor Who] become obsessed with the ideas of time pockets.

Like the idea that there could be places just a mili-second out of sync with the rest of the universe which remain undetected and anything could happen/be happening there.

If they existed I'd so move into one and try and timetravel in private :XD

Peter Petrelli.:

What do you mean out of "sync? Time is relative... there is no synchronized, "correct" time. :think:

it makes little sense unless you think hat time could be relative, that's what I was getting at, I forgot to explain that.
If time were relative it would fascinate me to know if places like this could exist.

But time is relative and "places" like that do exist, there are experiments that prove so. :shifty Time being relative was one of the crowning achievements of the relativity theories, as the name implies.

They do
Well this proves how much attention I pay
Then again it's only a recent obsession given by my Dad :tehe:

I can't believe that time has an end, so I quite like the 'circle' theory, where time loops back on itself after the destruction. But I also like the idea that it just stretches off into the distance... One long blank canvass.
Short timewise, I think it's just what we make it. If you stop to think, time does seem to slow down. And it speeds up when you're having fun... So I think perception has something to do with it.
And yeah, why are there only 12 hours round a clock?

xXGreyWingsXx:

But it's just that, perception. It has nothing to do with the physical nature of time in that sense.

Time appears to be rather complicated, but if you tried to narrow it down to one extremely concise phrase, what would that be?

xXGreyWingsXx:

And yeah, why are there only 12 hours round a clock?

I do believe our clock is in 12, because it takes approximately 24 hours for the earth to do a full turn, which is what we measure days buy, it's just more convenient for most to work on a twelve hour clock as opposed to a twenty-four hour one.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

There are many, many people that use a twenty-four hour clock, such as myself. They're easier to use than a twelve hour clock, which can lead to confusion.

Twelve hour:

"Hi, it's three here."

"AM or PM?"

Twenty-four hour:

"Hello, it's fourteen here."

"OK, well meet me at the coffee shop at fifteen, alright?"

Black holes really frighten me :shifty

People around here aren't clever enough to comprehend that, I live in an area with poor education etc, if I did that I'd get funny looks :XD
