    Depends on who you talk to.

    So where is it - The particle ?
    Looks like the article disappeared into Advertisements :D Or I'm just living in the Future.

    Time, as we understand it, is based on the measurement based on gravitational effects on Clocks. When we develop anti-gravity then I'll concede Time travel might be possible. As it is now, physics postulates (digging up big words) we might be able to return to the Past but never come back.

    So, grandfather clocks work on stored momentum and that means time travel. Wow.

    We all travel through time right now…Space and time…and at a pretty quick speed. The Earth rotates about a 1000 miles per hour…then rotates around the Sun/Sol…the Sun is speeding along (makes the solar system actually a helix)…and then we are located on a spiral galaxy arm that rotates at such speeds at its tips that scientist postulate that the building blocks of matter are created from the sheer amount of energy…And then our galaxy is speeding away from the centre of the Universe…So we live at terrific speeds already…Speed and time travel are inextricably linked.

    We have known for a hundred years that travelling into the future is not only possible but not altogether difficult…Speed is the key.

    Myself and most scientists agree that travelling into the past may be a different kettle of fish. I’m not sure it’s possible to do in the way we think either…For example we may go back in time but not necessarily back into our universe or time stream…but another…maybe create a new one. So you can ‘come back’ but not into the time line he/she left.

    Time is not the unthinkable hugely sophisticated thing most think. It’s about as fundamental as say gravity…Which we still don’t understand either yet (Haha…)

    On a side note…clocks can mark moments in exact increments,..the increments themselves are actually irrelevant. I won’t go too far into the little known truth that our lives are a simulation created by our brain (that lives in a lightless soundless, tasteless, smellless box called our skull)…it can’t interact with the ‘real world’ without hands and senses which the brain receives as electrical signals…the brain then creates to the user what it ‘thinks’ is in front of you…what it looks like, sounds like etc etc…We never actually see or hear anything, just the brains ‘simulation’ of it to the best of its ability and experience.

    Where does time come into this? We perceive time at a speed that we can live and survive at…As a general rule of thumb the bigger the animal, the slower the heart beat…the smaller the animal the faster the heart beat. And even humans when babies, have a fast heart beat and as they age they grow and the heart slows…Time perception and heart rate are linked…An Elephant perceives time quicker than us, it moves slowly to our eyes but it’s moving at normal speed for it’s time perception. A bird launches, flys and snaps a bug right out the air…it’s hear t beat is fast and perceives time slower than us…it moves fast for our eyes, but normal speed for it’s time perception.
    Most of us have at least once thought they were going to die, and time slowed…1 second seemed like 5-10 seconds…So most of us have experienced a change in our time perception at least once…some, a number of times. The truth is we experience variances in the ‘speed’ of our time perception many times a day…just the variances are so small we don’t usually notice…So here is an extra complication to time and time travel…we don’t even perceive it properly…just enough to survive on little old Earth.

    I think "Time" is, as I've stated before, merely a concept. All "Time" is based on mechanical devices - clocks- and depending on the users definition all sorts of conclusions can be asserted. Maybe a 'second' is more OR less than what we've determined. Kilometres or Miles? Inches or millimeters ? Kinda like Einstein's Relativity, how things are perceived.

    If the Universe is truly expanding shouldn't there be an ever expanding void in the center (beginning) ? And if so what would that emptiness be?

    Just asking.

    Quite perceptive.. Time is a "thing" like gravity...but to humans its not much more than a concept allowing us to live our linear lives. The probable reality is that "all time is simultaneous" - The past, present and future occur at the same time...The future has already happened - just not for us and our linear way of perceiving time. Going 'back" and 'forward' in time is a human view...instead we must move "through or across" time...

    As for your other question...my personal answer would be that the universe is expanding yes, but the fabric of space is being STRETCHED like a piece of gum - there is no void...no here and there.

    Everything is expanding away from everything. It's the space between the galaxies that is expanding. It's literally true that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. "Nothing" meaning empty space. This is at all easy to understand but the concept stands up to our examination.

    I think I'm stuck in a time loop. Several posts appear to be repeating themselves, like a time stutter. Roger, post #2366-2367, CAC #2372-2373 and Opana #2374-2375-2376.

    BTW. the link worked for me.

    Are you sure ? They're not there now. Or are they?
    Sorry, had to.
    On my end the connection was really slow and I clicked post again after the screen cleared but nothing came up. Immediately two posts appeared ? Today it actually took two minutes to delete mine, another two minutes to delete CAC's and then there were Larry's triplets.
    Now I could have been experiencing what I call a "Time Fart". It's those times when you just feel that it's either much later than or earlier than what the clock shows. OR I've experienced times (multiple meanings Time has), where Time seems slowed.
    Possibly Wednesday could have been one of those opposite instances where I was perceiving myself moving faster than and out of sinc with the rest of the World ?

    The human brain is always making educated guesses…it’s highly fallible. To feel like you are moving faster your heart would have to slow…

    I’ve often wondered about those sportsmen of all different sports who people say ‘they always seem to have time’ on the field…the cricketer, baseballer, footballer etc…Could it be that their hearts beat faster mixed with a strong will to succeed that slows their perception of time and the ball moves just that little bit slower for them…they are able to process more on field information per second…just a thought.

    That. Or patience allows our brains the time to analyze events quicker.

    With my blood pressure I doubt my heart was beating slower.

    Was talking to the wife earlier about maybe going to France next year. I'll do Belleau Woods of course. I'm always looking for an adventure to satisfy my need for adrenaline fixes. What about the Paris Catacombs? Not the touristy stuff but hire a Cataphile for an unauthorized journey through them. Has anyone done it? If so, pointers please.

    Blog about what I'm wanting to do.

    I've wanted to do them ever since I watched this movie, not a bad little flick:
