Am I back when?
-
Now, is it?
-
Now is when, and when is now, is it not?
-
But what is then? Is then also now?
-
Edited by Phøtøn: 7/25/2015 1:19:21 AMIsn't then when, and now been? [spoiler]I added this spoiler to say that was almost poetic, that little conversation :)[/spoiler]
-
Edited by Mr. Cubicle: 7/25/2015 1:40:34 AMIs all time linear? Can when become now and now become then? [spoiler]Haha it was wasn't it? [/spoiler]
-
Edited by Phøtøn: 7/25/2015 2:31:07 AMCould time become quadratic, cubic, quartic, quntic, or something else? Is that not the inevitable fall of time (edited to say I was replying to your question about when becoming now and now becoming then)? [spoiler]Holy crap, SUMGUY!!! You changed your picture and I didn't recognize you :)[/spoiler]
-
Could we as humans be able to comprehend time in such a state? Is there anything saying that we fully understand it now? [spoiler]Yes it is me! Was getting bored of that pic. Do you still remember our other conversation?[/spoiler]
-
Are we not comprehending that time now? Do we, as advanced as we are, not understand the implications of time and its states? [spoiler]How could I ever forget our conversation about last night ;) Honestly, you are the coolest guy in this forum, so of course I remember you, hahahaha[/spoiler]
-
What is saying that we are actually advanced enough to comprehend time now? We could be just understanding only what are brains can process, whether it be right or wrong. [spoiler]Haha thanks, but really you are more awesome than me :)[/spoiler]
-
So you believe, though we think we have an understanding of time, we may be misinterpreting it? Can we truly understand anything as massive and encompassing as time and space? Do you think at least a rudimentary understanding is sufficient for our existence? [spoiler]Thanks, but why don't we agree that we are both equally awesome?[/spoiler]
-
Will we ever know if we could comprehend time or space? Even if we think we do, there could be some sentient being somewhere in the universe that comprehends it differently. Which of us is right? Could it be neither? Is any life capable of perceiving time at all? [spoiler]Ok I'll agree to that.[/spoiler]
-
Isn't all life capable of making its own perception of time, regardless of other's perception? Just because someone else thinks differently, does that make either of them wrong? [spoiler]We should travel the world and help people with our awesomeness hahahaha :)[/spoiler]
-
If something perceives time and it is different from another being, are either of them wrong? Could time take multiple forms depending on the ability of the being to comprehend it? How would these two being interact if there ability to perceive time differs? [spoiler]We should also write a book about are philosophy of time. Haha.[/spoiler]
-
Wouldn't you agree there are an infinite number of comprehensions of time? Would they not be able to understand the other's perception, given they both are of the same species and the same general intelligence? [spoiler]How should we begin our book? Should the book be humorous, and should we use it to spread our awesomeness to people around the world?[/spoiler]
-
Does every member of a species comprehend time the same way. Would it be possible for a being to change there comprehension of time or are they born knowing that idea only. What would have to happen for them to change their understanding, or do you believe they can do it on their own? [spoiler]We should make the book somewhat serious, but add lots of jokes that go right over the average person's head so only people that are awesome enough will want to read it.[/spoiler]
-
Isn't one born with a multitude of knowledge, but knowledge that is susceptible to change? Do you not believe that beings can alter their preconceptions of an idea and accept someone else's ideas to consider? [spoiler]I like it, I like it. Should we put other philosophical ideas in there? What kind of jokes should we make?[/spoiler]
-
Don't you think that there are certain aspects of life that do not change throughout the existence of that organism? I believe the comprehension of time passing is one of these aspects. How would the mind be able to understand if the laws of time were to suddenly change? Would it also change, or would it completely reject this idea for the old way in which time was understood? [spoiler]We could put in other philosophies, along with that conversation about last night. People can learn from that! As for jokes I don't know, I was hoping you had ideas.[/spoiler]
-
Would the organism not know by instinct that time had somehow changed and became different? Is one not aware of aging slower when traveling at the speed of light? For most, I believe they would reject the new philosophy or structure, but do you not think there would be creatures such as ourselves that could comprehend the change and accept it? [spoiler]Honestly why don't I know you in real life? If we are going to talk about last night, how should we approach that? I'll try to think of jokes for our book ;)[/spoiler]
-
Edited by Mr. Cubicle: 7/26/2015 12:14:55 AMWould the organism subconsciously notice the difference but the brain would not be able to comprehend the change? Instead of consciously knowing would the organism's mind try to adapt to the change in environment. If a being were able to understand the changes what would they think? Would their whole life have to change in order to cope with the distortion of time? [spoiler]Really I don't know why we don't. Maybe we should just reword the entire 'last night' conversation to put in the book.[/spoiler]
-
Isn't the whole idea of this that organisms could maintain their lives because they subconsciously realized a change, and did not actually experience it, just as humans know the Earth spins, but do not feel it do so? Wouldn't all organisms try to adapt to the new environment change, or risk death? Would the beings be surprised by such a massive change in such an elementary part of their lives? Would they not have to adapt to the distortion of time by simply understanding the change and effectively accepting it, and then effectively finding ways in which to cope with it? [spoiler]What did you mean when you said Really I don't know why we don't, you mean why we don't know each other in real life? How would you want to re-word the last night conversation, would you want to make it hotter or more casual? Sorry this took so long, didn't even show up on notifications, and sorry this reply is massive, hahahaha[/spoiler]
-
Organisms might subconsciously know of the change, but will they actually feel the change or even make a thought about the change. The only reason humans know the earth spins is because did further tests on it. Other organisms might not know the earth spins, or if time fluctuated, or even if the earth is round. Do these organisms even know more than what is in there own ecosystem? Do they have some form of intelligence that we do not know of that could allow them to sense changes outside their environment? [spoiler]I meant why don't we know each other. As to rewording, make it hotter and definitely take out the part about the cat. Don't want that being published. ;) [/spoiler]
-
We shall resume tomorrow, if you so wish Sumguy :) We can talk more about our philosophy on time and our book (and its more interesting passages hahahahaha ;)
-
Haha, ok we should resume. Maybe we should branch of our philosophy to other parts of science. Right now it seems like we are getting into the biology of organisms.
-
OK, let's keep talking on the other part of the thread though, the one I just posted on. That way we don't branch off into two conversations and reduce our focus to each one.
