| Can time really slow down or speed up by changing direction?
If I walked it would take me more time to reach the end of my journey then if I ran. But am I really changing time or changing the activities (speed) of the object (person) that is moving from one real point to another real point, where as the use of time as a measurement would remain the same it is only the "physical activity" that was changed.
If it is always now not matter how much history repeats then is now not a word indicating stillness or "center" for that that motion, the unchanging part that is not effected by the motion of time?
In our local solar system is the sun not the relative center that we use to measure the surrounding motions of the planets journey in orbit, and the history or age of the earth? The sun being the "nowness" of time which time is measured by changes made due to motion in space?
(Note: my questioning might jump around and not follow just one point or objective).
Now if I could say three things all at once then I would be talking faster then if I say those three things one after another with space between each line. But time as a measurment and/or as a force-field would remain the same it is only the words I am saying that became re-constructed via compacting them together that gave the impression (illusion?) that time was speeding up. (a question).
Another anology is we could vision time as a river flowing (a flowing force field). As history repeats each age becomes shorter and shorter in duration (like the motion near the hub is shorter then the distance at the outer-rim). Thus it would appear that things are happening today at a faster rate then they did during the pioneer days. As we compact the shore line of the river it moves thrugh the rapids and becomes turbanlant then when the banks of the river were wider and the river flowed with a calm surface. Compact (aka smaller) computer chips and your computer works faster, compact cars and other things seem to go hand-and-hand with the speed of history because we live in a "smaller world" that appears thusly more compacted. In a historical connection then we can see that something like the dark ages of the fundamentalist era could happen in a few years instead of as it did before - lasting many years. The modern repetition of the dark ages would then last from 2000 til 2012 instead of the longer time as reported in older historical record (past). Lucky for us the days will be shorter this time otherwise we would not survive the witch hunts (a little off-the-wall opinion). And so an open ended journey would be like the wide ocean and a restless and turbalant journey would be limited by those external boundries as related too in one of the above postings. (anology of the banks of a river).
(note: I am not useing word spell checks so read it like it sounds).
Likewise the ground upon which the motion of a journey takes place is also not moving relative to the measurement being conducted and so it becomes something "still" that can be used to as a unchangable point for making such measurements in time.
(now I know the earth moves around on the axes but that motion is an unseen factor that would not effect the measurements of a shorter one mile trip - walking or running). But in theory if you run towards the sunset time would stand still more so then if you were runing towards the east (sun up), because two motions are in effect).
So we got a lot of "relative" stuff going on, all of which must be factored to determine a sense of reality.
(Hmmm, and I said it all without fancy words, however I agree that the cutting edge of historical progress is terminology, new words are what allow us to create new communication potentials upon which (or where-with) additional knowledge can be established).
I agree on one thing which is that this is a fine topic.
Now about the wider journey towards an unlimited and open ended potiential. Indeed we have evidence of this, a one-cell beginning might expand into something more complex as a collective unit of life. A small and simple looking seed might expand and unfold into a complex plant or tree. ETC. A arrow shot from a bow (as an idea) might expand into the nearly impossible idea of a space ship being shot towards Mars and and landing there. The application of better technology being applied to a primitive hunting tool. Hear we can map he historical journey of a simple idea becoming more complex, from bow and arrow, to airplane, to jet, to rocketship, to space ship, with untold potentials of UFOs in science fiction awaiting the technology to enter our reality of science. Poetically speaking; "new worlds gathering outside the windows of our souls".
Imagination being the novelity wave that spearheads the transformations from fantasy into reality - with desire as our rocket fuel. Imagination is in fact the multi-dimensional and multi-future that becomes the engine for quuntum leaping. Imagination is our version of a bird's wings relative to the evolutionary progress of ideas where "the sky is the limit" (and as you now know, the sky is really open-ended and not a "solid dome").
So let us woof our wings for any bird brain idea could become the next super-theory. (another one of my journeys into the poetic expressionism).
More later.
