Perceptions - Astronomy's Strange Observance of TIME

Double-A "Now" I lay my head to to dream. Best to keep in mind we
dream mostly about past events? My time of "now" is not your time of
now.Reason I'm moving faster than you. The time set for "now"
is very important for intelligent life that is aware it is alive. When I
realize when I awake in the morning,and find myself dead I'm in a state
of no now time Events in the past can destroy our Earth.
Such as a gamma ray explosion that happened 666 thousand light years
away. Bert

From Painius:

And i really have a hard time with
presently held beliefs in quantum theory
that information cannot be transfered
using nonlocality. It has the potential to
really open up the whole Universe for
us--to UNblind us--IF we can find a way
to use it to transfer voice and data.

I think you're in a bit of a 'box' in your concept of 'information
transfer'. You're still thinkin' in terms of transmitting discrete data
streams.. morse code, voice, binary code etc. This also seems true of
Mr.Greysky's 'FTL' ideas. But true nonlocal information transfer would
be holographic in nature.. sent as whole concepts and received as whole
concepts, without need for any 'data streaming'. Whole concepts and the
'big picture' is what Wolter was all about.

You may be right about the "box". But i can't help thinking
how a spin change here on Earth from + to - resulting in a spin
change on, say, Mars from - to + seems so naturally attractive
for the exchange of data in binary format.

This isn't how it works.


One might even
envision a parallel arrangement which would allow the xfer of
giga- or even yotabytes (1024 x 10^21 kilobytes) of data
instantaneously. This could be designed into a fairly holistic
(or holistic-seeming) transfer, eh?

...or am i still missing something?

Your still missing something.


Instantaneous communications would be
just a few steps away from functionally
instantaneous transportation.

Well, here you're getting into the principle of hyperdrive, which is
first cousins with nonlocality.. both of which would be hard to conceive
of if space is a 'void'.

For me they're not very easy to perceive under *any*
circumstances. I'm still with Einstein... spooky!

Now, the concepts themselves aren't really spooky.
It's when i begin thinking about their potential realities
and practicalities that a shiver or two goes up me
spine.

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

Lay in hay and squint your eye,
Lose your youth in moaning sigh,
Find the truth in every lie!

Mostly. But then, I had a dream some years ago that my mom or dad had
left me something that I didn't know about. This has haunted me for
years.

Now I just found out that I have some life insurance money coming from
my dad, dead fourteen years, that he never told me about. Yes,
sometimes we dream of the hidden, or the future!

But I'm catching up!

Did you have to use 666, Bert?

Double-A

Hi double-A Yes 666 LYs fits well,and if it has the power of the 1999
gamma ray blast it would easily wipe out all planetary life in the Milky
Way The best way you can catch up with my spacetime is to move to
Huntington beach,for two reasons. Time goes faster when looking at
pretty girls ,and you would be closer to the equators 1030 mph spin. You
way up there in Oregon are closer to the exact center of the Earth's
axis where rate of spin is zero. Double-A best to keep in mind that cold
slows down your metabolism,and that means all things slow down. Bert
PS Here in Micky Mouse world its 68F at 10 AM and sunny. Going sailing
on lake Toho to build up my appetite

You're moving faster, so according to SR, you should live longer!

Yes, there's that. A nice 37 degree noon time temperature here.

Watch those gators. They have an appetite too.

From Bert:

Yep, time sure flies when your're havin' fun.:-)) Actually there's a
little-known sidebar to the theory of relativity: "The angle of the
dangle is relative to the mass of the **s and the beauty of the cutie".

Hi Double-a Right you are moving fast makes time move slower,but living
closer to the earth's core means stronger gravity,and that makes time
flow slower Tell oc not to make me laugh after eating 4 lobsters Hit 78
F,but with winds hitting 25 mph I gave up going sailing. Have one live
lobster left.Showed it to Moby,and he went right into his cave. I wonder
if lobsters and octopus are natural enemies? Bert
