@yellowwitch1 Actually he is brilliant for reasons quite independent of your misunderstanding; this latter just indicates a want of intelligence.

I've always wondered about the relativity of time in relation to our short lives. If there is some sentient being that lives as long as the sun, what seems permanent to us would be fleeting to it.What seems not to move to us would be whizzing along to it.An event that takes millions of years would seem like only minutes to it.Conversely, If a bacterium could be sentient, it would see us as eternal and never moving much as we would see my hypothetical sentient being that lives as long as the sun.

@slipshodcoqbgg Nonsense. Learn some physics.

@TheDensley7 thanks - just realised, he says at the beggining - should have listened closer. :)

@edwardszzz I think you cuold know why he is telling the truth bcz he allways speaks about simple things and things that are experienced and proved, and this is the objective of science. Experience and demostration are untouchable, I think. So it means that his philosophy is so objective and strong, and not based only on theories and opinions.

@edwardszzz Completely disagree.

A very fresh explanation of the theory of relativity. Thanks for posting.
