I know that time is relative, but this is ridiculous. Goto Page: [] [<] 1 2

Bwehehe, I had to throw this out there. My girlfriend's senior thesis advisor, Gott, took his kids hiking in the mountains. They brought with them one atomic clock, and left one at the foot. After a week in the mountains, they came back down, and he got to show his kids that time speeds up at higher altitudes.

(Sorry for the irrelevance)
Actually that's not too irrelevant. While the original conversation was about the possibility of the number of dimensions changing (and an attempt to perceive a world without time), relativity is very important in the conversation. The very notion of surviving without time seems impossible without some hint of inconsistency in what we already define as time.

Not relevant to the exact conversation topic, but a very good example of a point that must be understood 3nodding

I think he goes with the guy that said that a black hole is under the Bermuda triangle.

it is not irelivant at all
in fact i was going to bring it up myself
any way...
the reason for this is that the more gravitational force aplied to an object the slower it will apear to move acording to an independent fixed point
this is why whe an object is droped into a black hole it apears to an observer at a fixed and independent point to slow down when it should realy speed up due to the icreced gravitational pull whic is caused by the decreced distance between te black hole and the object when from the objects perspectiv it is in fact incresing in velocity
tho why this is i do not remember
if some one would be so kind......
