THE FABRIC OF THE COSMOS: THE ILLUSION OF TIME

[theoriginalpunisher]

Sedohrj97, you could indeed orbit a black hole. Just stay out of the event horizon. As long as sufficient energy was available you could orbit like the moon does earth. If the energy fails your orbit decays, you pass the event horizon and now your unable to escape. Galaxies orbit around black holes it's just a matter of distance.

Very interesting concepts presented within this video. For Each of us has that has expressed a comment here we continue to further disorganize the system since none a

[dowakeupnow]

On entropy in nature, to go from order to disorder ... isn't it just us labelling the egg as order compared with the broken egg? Nature sees both as order ... or disorder.

Further, with ice melting ... what about the water cycle? water evaporate -> vapour condenses -> cloud rains ... repeat ... so who is to say that which of this state is more orderly? So is entropy in this case? Circular entrophy? Or is it only for close-energy system?

[cannonultra789]

@dowakeupnow I'm guessing the definition of order here is based on the formation of the water molecules. The most orderly being solid(molecules being very uniform), then liquid(molecules filling up their container), and then gas(molecules flying all over the place).

[MRSVISHOUS2012]

This was really good:) But bwhahahahahahahaha!!!!! spacetime lmfaohahahahahaha that one guy looks like he thinks its the most brilliant name hehahahahehaeha

[saintron60]

The answer to time going only in one direction is because of polarity. When we figure out what motivates times polarity. We then could in theory make it go the other way.

[TheMilzskilz]

lol time is not a length of time but an example of energy. our timesystem we use today came from romans deep in tax and debts. time is different to everyone depending on their concioucness

[sedohrj87]

I know it's hypothetical, but traveling around a black hole would be impossible, the gravitational pull is so strong that not even the speed of light is able to escape.. hence the name "black" hole.

[jwagner7000]

humans invented time because we die. imagine a species that never dies. Would they use time?

"No one outside Hollywood has made a working time machine" - maybe they should divert all money from NASA to Hollywood.

[Lokeydin]

@v4mpir33d So my question to you is.... how would you know? you can't assume no one has, do you believe that it has to be broadcasted on CNN in order for a time machine to be valid? there are so many other sources of clean energy that's virtually free that were stomped out and not many people know about, does that mean it didn't happen? remember you don't know what you don't know!

[johtorn]

Hilarious documentary :)

The fact people have invented clocks doesn't mean there is such thing as time. This film is perfect proof how the man invented something which doesn't exist. It's easy to see how time is *not* series of moments but one eternal moment. There is only one frame but it's living! Now has nothing to do with time but it is literally the very space We Are as One. The past is collection of memories how the Now was before. Future is everyone's individual idea of how Now will be.

[johtorn]

To put it simply, "time" is observers mental relationship to the surrounding movement.

We can measure speed of an object only against a point of reference - We can observe time only from timeless I amness.

[krl1978]

@johtorn I agree with you 100%! As long as we primitive, arrogant humans struggle from paradime to paradime, that concept would never make since. Once a physical body leaves earth time as we understand it no longer exists. Its almost absurd to say time can fluxuate. That would create a the effect of parallel existances all existing on the same plane at the same 'time', then you have all tose crazy paradoxes. Feel me?

[dfceltics20]

so if i traveled to the aliens planet and traveled away from earth and then teleported back to earth, would i have traveled back in time?

[MrMotionless666]

did cutting down a tree, adding chemicles, making paper, using ink, binding the paper together before tossing it really go from order to disorder or is it the movement of particels by forces in the now make things go right where they were suppost to, do to wind,gravity time ect...it can work going backward in our minds but the past is there already:)or in real time. this talk of

[MrMotionless666]

so your mind can create truth as well as observe it. remember enthropy s=k log w the movement from order to disorder when the book is tossed the paper flies everywhere, why does it seem only to be disorder in one direction the future in fact the enthropy is only in the now in the mind of the tosser. the paper landed right where they were sapost to. in perfect order not one out of place. remember we are here do to condishions which created us not the otherway around as wonderful as we seem (NC)

[MrMotionless666]

but when she passes she no longer exsists relitive to your journey there is no women on your journey anymore.(get it?) thing about it for a while and forget about my spelling:).Let me try another example: this time I will make it a little more fun.some people beleave they have lived passed lives and when they die they will live again what they don't get is that there past lives and future lives are happening now,right now! they are now there past lives and there future lives ( did that help?)(NC

[MrMotionless666]

we must all be carefull, the human concious although able to see truth and comprehend exsistance can also create things which may not be so. time might not be on a canvis of space.the big bang in theory may of happened but it no longer exsists only "now" exsists.example of what I mean: say u were walking toward a destanation and in front of u you see a jogger running toward you, while your on your walk, u see her running, the colour of her offit, the speed at which she runs as she get closer(NC)

[MrMotionless666]

because if u can draw a line to represent now at any time then u must be able to draw a line from the begining of the universe (the big bang ) to the edge of the universe, which is still expanding,creating new time, so all time does not exsist already. Leaving us in the "now line" which we must all pass through.

0

[MrMotionless666]

when the alien drives away from the man reading the paper he is traveling towards "true now",the begining of the universe therefor towards the past. when he drives at the man he is relative to the man,therefor the future, if he drives past the man then again he is driving toward the past. the man only exsists to the alien in referance to each other but the motion of both is toward the past the "true now" so time is always in the true now state (more in next comment)

[MrMotionless666]

time...is interwoven with space, two different things and it has been said time started with the big bang. which came first? time or space,or is time a property of space, is space a canvise where things exsist all the time or is our perception of past and present that make it that way. Does time really exsist just in the "now"? when the sun comes up over the horizen, and I know it will go back down again, does that mean time has passed?

[DonMega187]

i feel little lost with this... 25:00 does this all mean that even if aliens heard out radio signals and wanted to visit us their travelling here at high speed would slow them down in relation to us so that they wouldn't reach here for reeeaallly long time? especially them being so far away the effect of time difference would be even bigger?

[christiijack]

I experience time slowing down for me while I am working my horses. I usually work about 5-6 in just a few hours even though I am training them and moving around the ring quite often. I do also find myself looking at my watch wondering why time is going so slow while I do this... Now I know why...

[4micaman]

@christiijack Just wanted to say, I think working with horses would be an amazing career. There so majestic and powerful. It's awe inspiring to see a well trained horse and their trainer working together. It's why I'm subbed to David Lee Archer @david12000000.

Thanks for your comment... All the best to you. Namaste ~Anthony

[christiijack]

[3rd3Y3p3RsOn]

somebody please help with this question..

[3rd3Y3p3RsOn]

what about the fact that the earth is moving around the sun, the sun is moving around the center of the galaxy, galaxy clusters are gravitating hence moving, galaxies that are moving away form each other due to the big bang, do they account for that motion through space time?

[4micaman]

@3rd3Y3p3RsOn As for your question, I can't help you with an answer to that. Brian's book would likely have that information but certainly popular science forums would be able to assist.

Also, it seems that I read not too long ago that the 'big bang' hypothesis is on the way out. In favor of what, I don't recall.

Good luck in your query. All the best to you, too.

Groovy screen name, BTW! Keep that pineal gland in tune... and open! :c)

[DonMega187]

@3rd3Y3p3RsOn my simple guess here would be all that constitutes as the "norm" of our perception of time at this moment in space

[BLACKXBUTTERFLY97]

thumbs up if you started watching these documentaries after getting addicted to Big Bang Theory!

[TheDreamer138]

these people acting like they've been drinking too much because they don't know what they talking about.

[soultorment27]

Time travel into the past would only be possible if it involved going into another dimension. Otherwise it wouldn't be possible since going into the past and merely being there would lead to a different future from the time traveler's original future. But obviously this would be two different futures since the future cannot be different from itself! And thus the time traveler would have gone into the past, but not the time traveler's past. It would be a different world or dimension...

[soultorment27]

Whether the past and future are just as real as the present is an open question. And it's purely a conceptual question, not an empirical one. Like most philosophical questions, it's controversial. And I should also say that if time is not dynamic but static, this will have profound implications for free will, change, identity, causation, etc...

[london009009]

why do not science accept that there are some unknown things that are out of human capacity to think and that is what i can say is god or some super natural power.

[roont]

@london009009 Because most of the modern ideas of god come from texts written by ancient people who didn't understand nearly as much about the universe that we do now. Science doesn't dismiss the idea of a god, but the gods of the bible, the quran, the hindu gods etc, have all been shown to be fictional stories.

[panjak42]

@roont How's that? Were you there?

[roont]

@panjak42 "Were you there?" is a stupid question. Did you learn that from Ken Ham? There are other ways of finding out the truth other then being there. A better question is "How do you know that?" Try that one sometime.

[roont]

@london009009 And "supernatural" is outside of science. Science studies the natural world. There is no evidence, and no reason to think that anything "super" natural exists, except in the heads of some gullible or delusional people.

[DonMega187]

@roont but perhaps even some "super" can be scientifically explained. even if it's still not fully understood how for example this one samurai guy could slice a plastic pellet shot from a gun in half with his sword. it could certainly look like he's superhuman for doing so, as the reaction time of his was measured to be just average. and ordinary person can hardly even see the pellet shot.perhaps the explanation lies within heightened state of awareness by shutting down cognitive brain functions

[DonMega187]

@DonMega187 or another thing of course is magicians who create illusion of performing something superhuman. only because the person observing it doesn't know their secrets of fooling others gives the impression of something super existing that really doesn't. in my opinion word super doesn't exclude the possibility for a scientific explanation. unless of course we're talking about fictional superheroes or magicians hah...

[roont]

@DonMega187 Not really. Science is the study of the natural world. heightened states of awareness could indeed be perfectly natural. The other explanation is that it may be a trick. Penn and Teller have a trick where they get an audience member to sign a bullet, and then they shoot it across stage and Teller catches the bullet in his mouth. They admit that it is a magicians trick and nothing more.

[MrMotionless666]

true in our eyes we are part of a very large universe, but if you were able to move very far away from it, it to would become a dot or even unseeable to the human conscious.

[MrMotionless666]

remember the conscious exsistes and can make sense of the universe around us,it can also come up with multie-universes, religions,ufos',ghosts, past and future.and many other ways to entertain its' coureosity.

[MrMotionless666]

enthrophy S= Klog W, what we precieve as order to disorder, it is the movement off particles from one state to another in a moment of time our mind assemable the states at which the particles move to give us the illousion of past and present but the particles are only in the present.the conscious needs order to make sence of the two states.therefore enthropy does work going foward as well as backward according to physics because physics discribes the present and only the present .

[utility43210]

See, and here I thougt the 'Big Bang' would have been the ultimate moment of disorder and destruction, being the singular propelling event in the origin of the universe Which then coalesced into gathering order. Shows how much I know.

[valsyrie]

If time moved backwards, wouldn't all of our senses and thoughts would move backwards, too? You wouldn't even notice it. Time might be moving backward right now. O.O

[MrMotionless666]

let me try that again,gravity is time: when you plant a seed from a tree the tree grows stright up through the atmosphere in a stright line, you can change the direction put once changed the tree will again grow stright up, the tree is growing from its' enteraction with space and time not from the seed but with its' duration through space or the atmosphere. ???( kind of week I know but think about it for a moment)

[MrMotionless666]

Heres a thought gravity is time. let me explaine: imagine a peace of wood is carried to the bottom of the ocean the pressure of the water lets say at 1mile down is enormous, yet when you let the wood go it flouts stright back to the surface in a stright line up where the pressure is at least resistence now imagine that time is the duration at which the wood flouts apposed to the pressure of the water, resistence in space is a definition of time.

[MrMotionless666]

in the example of the two atomic clocks, wouldn't the clock in the plane be futher away from the earths gravity causing the time to be affected just as much as the trip around the globe.

[MrMotionless666]

someone made a very good point, if the universe is still expanding and time is interwoven with space. then the universe is creating new time as it expands, therefor some of the future does not exsist yet, so every moment can't already exsist. I think the very edge of the expanding universe is the "true now" and matter and energy are passing through space and time, the line from the edge of the universe back to the big bang must exsist giving us the illousion of past,present,and future.

[MrMotionless666]

they have no bases in the universe of space, time, matter and energy.what will be will be but only in the true now.

[MrMotionless666]

they have no

[MrMotionless666]

no! remember this is science.we must view what is, not what maybe, possablities are endless but not for us to speculate. remember what carl sagen said" we are the only creature that we know of that the universe has created to let it know of itself". that one statement makes our conscious larger then any star, any galaxy any event that has happened in the universe we truely are the largest thing in the universe. multiverses and pre-determined futures are part of our conscious (next comment)

[MrMotionless666]

I bet the speed would be quite different.

[MrMotionless666]

If light traveled for 7 billion years! don't you think it would have to adhear to the same principles as every thing else the fact that it doesn't slow down, it doesn't change no matter if it's high energy protons or low energy protons. the speed for both is exactly the same, wether the fabric of space is smooth or not. it would be itersting if you could figure out the speed of the light some where in the begining of its' journey,lets say 2 billion years ago or 4 billion years. ( next comment)

[MrMotionless666]

tyomen. please explain futher what you mean? "continued order"

[tyomen]

Not "disorder", but a continued order that is beyond our ideas of what order is. :)

[MrMotionless666]

another example: when you look at the reflextion of the moon (lets say) on a pond, some of the light, only a certain percentage of the light reflects off the water while a percentage passes through, now if you look at the energy lets say of the light reflected to the light passing through they are equal. even when you again reflect the light of the pond the energy of the light does not change.therefor light , rather then traveling is being carried through time.

[MrMotionless666]

but more ammazing then that space is smooth, is 7 billion years of travel!!! and both properties of light arrive at the same time. this might lead one to beleave that light doesn't travel at all but is carried through time, and when you see light bend you are actuly seeing time bend. ex: black holes, light around large objects ect... giving more of a relation to time and gravity with respect to speed. ( light does not travel time traveles and light moves with in it).

[MrMotionless666]

another theory I like to entertain ( please don't think everything I write I beleave I'm just trying to pervoke a different way at looking at these theories) that said. The "fermi gamma ray telescope" witnessed a gammi ray burst, in that burst protons traveled 7 billion years!!! before reaching the telescope,now the higher energy protons arrived at the same time as the lower energy protons. two very different light properties. this was taken as the fabic of space is smooth not rippiled . (n.com)

[MrMotionless666]

please forgive the spelling I don't quite know how to use all of the features of my computer like spell check,sorry:)

[MrMotionless666]

slite differences in the exspantion of the universe between space and time make it possable for energy or matter to come into exsistance.

[MrMotionless666]

If we were able to do things at the quantum level let say control the vibrations of strings as they come into exsistence then it would be possible to create anything coming into exsistence. that brings us to the point of a singularity. is it a point? is it a wave?does it have something to do with time? space? energy maybe? maybe the connection between time and space.maybe the exspantion of space causes energy to come into exsistence by slowing down space through time saying that( next comment)

[MrMotionless666]

the reason that physics or the math brakes down at the quantum level and at the very point the big bang begins is that math and physics are stagnite they are only true in the now only discribing what has come into exstince the formulas are right like E=mc2 but it is only true in the now the formula does not move. it's the same for physics true the laws work going forward through space and time as well as going backward through space and time but they only discribe the "now"moment by moment ( NC

[MrMotionless666]

the wasp being the more active lets say of the two, there for vibrating faster has imprinted his vibration into the DNA of the orchid , which changes by changing its vibration through time to mimmic the wasp, even the smell of the orchid is made to mimmic the vibration that has been first ingrained into the male wasp. this has to be so because the ochird wouldn't have had the contact of a female wasp enought to warent such a change

[MrMotionless666]

let me use this "now theory" and "m" theory ( string theory) to explane certain asspects of evolution using an example from nature." the correlation between wasps and orchid". in nature some orchid mimmic ther host insect in this case the wasp by growing features and even producing sent which will attract a male wasp now most naturalists would view this as the plant fooling the insect if we are to believe this then we are putting very human characteristics on the plant. ( next comment)

[MrMotionless666]

so there is no past or future just 'now". we are matter or energy not space or time and we must acknolage that we are passing through space and time. we can not travel to a place where we do not exsist, only remember or predict we exsist as we are as does time and space.

[MrMotionless666]

when he drives toword someone he driving away from "now" there for into the future.

[MrMotionless666]

"True Now" when the universe began time was interwoven with space their for if you can draw a line to repersent a slice of time as" now" then you have to be able to draw a line from the very edge of the universe back to the event horizen ( the big bang itself) every bit of matter and energy must pass through this" now line".giving us the perseption of now. as you have seen in the video, the alein driving away from some one goes closer to now there for the past, (more in the next comment)

[MrMotionless666]

Hi . when I watch the video their was one asspect of now that I feel Brian didn't address and that is, when they say that time and space both came into exsistance with the event of the big bang, with low enthropy and very dence gravity the big bang must have been a very slow process. as the universe exspanded and enthropy and gravity grew farther apart the universe sped up space travels at the speed of light now at this point in time but what about "true now", let me explan. ( in my next coment

[MrMotionless666]

[MGR1900]

23:00 to 24:00 I have no problem with the information presented here but I'm struggling with this concept at 23:00. What if there was a rope long enough that both the alien and the man sitting there were holding. If the alien start to cycle away, is the man in the present time no longer holding the rope for another 300 years? That doesn't make sense yet that's what Brian Green is saying. Can anyone clear this up?

[masticatedaily1]

@MGR1900

If there was a rope that long and both parties were holding it, they become one body, so this principle does not apply. As with momentum, if ur standing on a moving bus and jump, u go up and down with respect to the bus, but up, down and forward with respect to earth, due to the transfer of energy from the bus, so this principle of now-slices doesn't apply to singular bodies, only separate bodies, so the alien pulling the rope causes it to fly out of the old dudes hand @ the same time.

[masticatedaily1]

@MGR1900 also, once the rope leaves the old guys hand and starts to travel farther away, there will be a microscopic difference in time due to the angle of the now-slice. U heard how Greene said at 23:55 that the angle was minuscule, well if the rope the old guy sees is an extension of the aliens body, the now slice wont have a significant effect till the rope is a long distance away (like, as far as where the alien was when he started biking).

[masticatedaily1]

@MGR1900 feel free to message me if I didn't make much sense.

[DoctorEq]

Maybe time travel to the past is possible? Maybe one of the rules of time travel is that you're not allowed to tell anyone that you're from the future? I, for one, am a time traveller from the future....oops, i said it! Now the future government will eliminate me and shortly remove this comment and brainwash anyone who reads it!

[FlyingDream]

@MaxwellsAttourney Well, the second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of the universe is increasing, that's correct. But when you look at the earth as the system, it gets hit by sunrays with low entropy and it gives off heat with high entropy thus allowing the order of evolution on Earth. You can't have increased order in a system without an increase in entropy to the surrounding.

[carminav25]

wait, so if the universe, time and space are all expanding, does that mean it is creating new time and space, and therefore it means that either all or some of the future does not exist right now? because spacetime has not expanded to that point yet? but then in this video, it also says that every moment already exists. I guess I'm conflicted. What do you think? Can someone explain?

[ApatheticOmniscience]

@PadraigM46 Yeah, it looks like it's talking about an externalist universe. However, I think quantum physics rejects this notion due to its innate indeterminacy.

[FubarLikeYou]

@PadraigM46 maybe but if you keep in mind the multiverse stuff theres an infinate number of pre-determined futures that you can choose from... maybe lol

[thisisgrey]

@PadraigM46 as long as the future remains unforeseeable it doesn't matter if it is predetermined. I guess.

[soultorment27]

@PadraigM46 Yes it does. If the future already exists, then the future is already determined. It's a philosophical question though, not an empirical scientific one.

[MjXllcommando]

these are remarkable. Time is something that has always scared the crap out of me, just having absolutely no control over something that erodes us at an exponentially faster rate as we perceive it (as you get older times goes faster) however seeing this, it shows that there really is something else out there, something far more vibrant than anything taught by religion or even basic conventional science.

[4micaman]

@MjXllcommando Great comment - We thank you for contributing to the discussion and exploration. It may not win me any friends but, through my expanded (beyond govt education/indoctrination) studies, organized religion may stand at the forefront of hiding truths humans need to thrive. It may sound conspiratorial - it is what it is - my opinion.

[MjXllcommando]

@4micaman its not that conspiratorial, read any history on the middle ages and you see how the political influence of the church worked towards keeping people stupid

[4micaman]

@MjXllcommando Great minds..., sir

[miag4101]

I think time IS an illusion, it is an inevitable consequence of the existens of matter and that alone. If we try to imagine a universe where the energy (=matter) content is equal to zero we see that it is not possible to know "where" you are in time. It is simply a kind of biological tool we humans and other organisms have to separate cause from effect.

[TheGallianthe]

Thank you for posting this!!

[4micaman]

FYI to those interested. Brian Cox did a show called "Do you know what time it is" Very interesting and well worth digging around the internet to either find a copy of it... or see if it's still up on youtube. It's s46e05, if you understand that lingo, go get you some! :)

[Coleaptera]

That was facinating! I had a hunch, but I otherwize didn't know that the time is just a dimention (like space) with slices. Brian sure likes his bread slicing analogy. He did it too when describing the multiverse in the last episode of the Elegent Universe. He even discused the possibility of time travel. HECK YES!! If I were a time tourist, I would go back to the 60s and 70s and see all my favorite musicians in concert. That would really rock!

[xanox02]

2.Could the direction of time be the effect of the space expanding ? An expansion triggered by the big bang. If space was contracting on itself instead of expanding, there would be more order, more gravity and the arrow of time would slow down, change direction and maybe even go in reverse. !? Well, i'm not expert just a random guy, who knows theses things anyway ? Sorry for my bad English.

[4micaman]

@xanox02 Interesting questions you've posed, sir. To you also, I'd simply have to say, "I don't know."

We do know however, you're interaction is greatly appreciated. And, you're English is fine, good sir.

Take Care ~Anthony

[xanox02]

1.Space affect Gravity that affect Time. Gravity is a force that keep the matter together so gravity look like a force who try to bring order into the universe since everything get closer and closer. And more the matter get in order, stronger the force get giving birth to black holes. So, if the universe is getting more and more disordered trough time, gravity should lose more and more of its force since there is less order. more space = less gravity = time flow faster.

[TheElasticJesusRez]

The answer to everything is to get big, very big indeed.

If we were the size of the universe then how long would a second be, and what would we use to measure time as the history of that small speck - the Earth - whizzes by in a flash?

Moral of the story. Eat plenty of food and get big.

[4micaman]

@TheElasticJesusRez On the contrary, shouldn't the moral of the story be too, to not grow so tall. Then and only then could our whole body age at the same rate.

An epiphany just struck me, they say America is the fattest country. So, it should stand to reason that America is the center of the universe, thereby causing the universe to expand. *wipes hands* All astrophysicists can now retire. The mystery has been solved! (sarcasm off) :c)

[TheElasticJesusRez]

@4micaman

LOL

I like your style.

Conversely we could get very small, slip through a rip in the fabric of time, and walk back into the same universe as a giant. (Guiness ad). Indeed, do it quick enough and you might get see yourself leaving.

Seriously, for those that haven't read it I suggest Richard Gott's 'Time Travel in Einstein's Universe'.

A riveting read if you can make it past page 20.

[gesine22000]

@4micaman: Well, I think you're a good hologram :-)

(excitedly awaiting part 3 of 'the fabric'...........)

[4micaman]

@gesine22000 And likewise, you too. :c) 

[frozzirk]

@4micaman, thanks for posting all these videos, I am actually going through all your documentaries and they are very good to watch during my spare time. Hope you can upload more videos :D

[4micaman]

@frozzirk You betcha, frozzirk! And, no worries - we fully intend to upload more interesting videos. We love the exploration of space (both inward and outer space), sciences and self-help/enlightenment/awaren­ess videos.

Observation is always the key... Later gator! :)

[UndertheRadarTM]

@deluxxman Good question. Maybe you would see it unfold in reverse.

[deluxxman]

Here's what i want to know - the part that runs from 19:00 through 26:00

Let's say we are observing the distant alien through a telescope, while we ride a bike here on earth.

What happens if we look through a telescope while we change from riding towards the distant to riding away - as our 'now time' for that planet goes from their future to their past? How can that happen unless we see things going backwards towards the past, when we watch them through the telescope!

What do we see?



[4micaman]

@deluxxman That's a good question - unfortunately, I simply don't know the answer to it. *shrugs*

[WolverinePlusbeaST]

@deluxxman that part is false..i do not agree..time and space are connected in some ways but not like the way it says there...this is something we do not understand yet.

[idfaptothat]

So, basically, wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff?

[dany456789]

This program reminds me of the tv shows of Stargate, Star trek, Quantum leap, Andromeda ascended, and sliders

[gesine22000]

Thanks for uploading!! Living outside the US we're depending on good guys like you :-)

[4micaman]

@gesine22000 You're quite welcome. While the complement is appreciated, I'm simply a guy, neither good nor bad. Heck, I'm not totally convinced we're not just a hologram in an illusory world! :)

[MissuSakuraKissu]

Space and time is just so baffling and terrifying. There's just something about it that we'll never know.

[4micaman]

@MissuSakuraKissu Now now. Baffling - yes. Terrifying - well, it shouldn't be. ;) In fact, truth be known, we already knew all of this yet we've forgotten it or been altered/indoctrinated to think we don't know. What we have to do from here on, is simply THINK on it and OBSERVE it... whatever "it" is. Might I suggest studying some of the Krishnamurti videos I have posted? He's changed my perspective completely!

Thank you for watching... and commenting, Sakura.

[ONeil188]

Back to the future, anyone?

[Jipzorowns]

So why does the effect of timedialation grow over distance? Why is distance involved there?

[deluxxman]

@Jipzorowns Because, as it shows, the slice is at an angle, so the divergence increases over distance. That's the easy answer. :~) I'm still thinking about why this is so...

[Jipzorowns]

@deluxxman

yes well, me too haha.

[Jipzorowns]

Thanks for uploading this man!

[27Cherryz]

Thanks for the upload! Great stuff :)

[h0nki]

please reupload, the end is missing!

[4micaman]

@h0nki Not sure what happened with the upload. And, of course, I didn't double check to make sure it was complete. I'll upload the ending from 46:36 on and attach it as a video response. Will inbox you when it's ready.

[h0nki]

@4micaman thank you :D i am a bit disappointed of this episode, but i cant wait for the next one, this is when the book really kicks in.

[DanielDouradoF]

The documentary is not complete!

[gzajicek20]

Dear Mr. Greene

It seems to me that the title of your production is somewhat misleading.

It ought to be rephrased:

The illusion of reality generated by physical devices that measure it.

The illusion of time which you described is associated with the design of clocks that measure it.

[steintanz]

@gzajicek20 ... interesting thought.

[EvilFingerTeacher]

31:00

I always knew my mouth wrinkles were older than my feet!

Didn't have much of a good effect on my brain though...I'm not that wise or smart.

[4micaman]

@EvilFingerTeacher @"I always knew my mouth wrinkles were older than my feet!" LOL

[DanielDouradoF]

Thanks for the fast upload!!! Great Documentary!!!

[4micaman]

@DanielDouradoF No problem. Thanks!
