    I like to think that dark enerhy could just be the physical entity of time itself (I call it Chronon Energy because of this) but then again I have no proof of that. Still, the answer to dark matter and energy lies in caves, not the skies.

    So, yes. I believe time is the fourth dimension which makes a physical imprint on this polyverse with dark energy because it constitutes around 70-75% of the polyverse, yes? Could be time. Mind you, if it was time then the amount of energy surely would increase as time progresses. Because it's not a straight line, time. Maybe it only inceases by a percent every decade or millennium.
    That made me wonder what color 'whatever existed before time did' had.

    not entirely.

    Ask someone with a doctorate in physics if gravity is a certainty and they may well tell you no. All these theories are something that is still somewhat debatable.
    Gravity seemed pretty real to Newton, though.

    I'm curious, what are the eleven/ten theorized dimensions?

    Its been repeated that time is in the fourth dimension, but would that not put time in the same theoretical dimension as other things?

    One other question that came to mind reading this... Is time driven by change or is change driven by time?

    Laws have been disproved and revised. We don't know enough about the universe we exist in to make laws. For all we know, these same laws could be completely different or backwards in other areas of space.

    Well, technically, there's no up, down, left and right, seeing as there's infinity in all directions, and those are laws, aren't they? So, yeah, laws can be totally backward in other areas of space.

    Time isn't "driven" by anything.

    Well then, why does time exist?

    Most things are action-reaction. Is change a result of time, or is time a result of change? If everything stopped changing, everything stopped reacting, could we say that time had stopped?

    This polyverse is beige. So...a lighter beige, maybe?

    You know what gets me in some descriptions of space is how things like black holes etc tear apart the fragment of time. I thought time was infinite, if it tore apart fragments and sections of time in certain parts of the universe wouldn't it, in some regard make time finite? 'Cause..parts of the infinite time would be missing in that section of the universe.

    I think I just confused myself.

    Infinite is a number and you can take away part of a number.

    But time is not infinite...in my opinion. Everything has a time to die.

    Superstring Theory.

    1. 'X'
    2. 'Y'
    3. 'Z'
    4. Time.
    5 - 11 And unknown.

    But, personally, and with no evidence what so ever...I've named them as such:

    5. Void.
    6. Centifrugal Force.
    7. Light.
    8. Fusion.
    9. Metacrisis.
    10. Matter.
    11. Skasis Paradigm.

    But yeah, the others are unknown since we can only identify with four...well...five.

    But if you take away from infinity wouldn't that make it finite?

    Yeah...that's my point. Time is finite.

    Everything has a beginning too.

    I view time as a tool used to measure the progression of movement of particles from one spot to another. :shifty

    That's just the thing- time is a crappy tool for measuring things- time is relative.

    Yep. After all, if there was nothing before the Big Bang then how could time possibly exist? It started with the Big Bang and will end when this polyverse ends in a few hundred trillion years.

    "Time slows down near a black hole; inside it stops completely."
    Anyone know where this theory comes from, how it's proved, or even how it could be measured?

    What is time even measuring? Is time created because of movement, or change, or are change and movement created because of time? Or are they completely unrelated?

    If time were to slow down, how would we know? Would everything slow down? What would slow down to show us that time had slowed? Would movement in and near a black hole appear to slow down and cease, thereby showing that time had stopped in the black hole?

    :tehe: Just asked a million questions. Anyone have some thoughts/answers?

    ^ Well, how "fast" time goes is entirely dependant on situational factors really. Because, if you live on the 15th floor of a building, you age slightly faster than if you were on the ground floor as time is effected by gravity.

    More gravity, slower time.

    Similiarly, if you are travelling fast, time slows down because some consider time to be corrolational to the speed of light and hence, you can;t travel faster than the speed of light so something gotta give.

    Hence why time stops inside of a black hole because of the gravity of the situation.

    Some physicists want to abolish time entirely because they can't knit it together with the rest of the universe to create the ultimate theory of how the universe works (what is considered the holy grail in Physics likewise with the cure for everything in Medicine and limitless energy in...err...Physics.).

    Time is really a way of measuring and calculating the world so we - as humans - understand it better. That's what some physicists argue: it's more of a psychological need than a physical certainity.
