• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hello,

It's very hard to believe that 1 = 10. But it's actually true and possible.

How so, you may ask. It's based on the principle of time travel. If you travel 10 seconds later into the future, it would have to take you less than 10 seconds. If you travel in 1 seconds. You have traveled 10 seconds later into the future in 1 seconds later. Thus 1 seconds later into the future is 10 seconds later, proving that 1 = 10.

But you might say that time travel is impossible. That's not true. As some of us already know. Time must get skipped for time to exist. Otherwise, it would take infinite steps for 1 second to pass, because the first half of 1 second must pass before 1 second and so on ad infinitum. Thus it would mean that 1 = infinity in that case.

Time is a marker we humans use. Time doesn't actually exist; it's not a thing. Thus, your example is simply perception, not reality.

I don't see the logic.

I can walk 6km in an hour or drive 60km in an hour... that doesn't make 6 = 60.\

And that kind of time travel is absolutely possible, just not practical at this time. Accelerate to near the speed of light you can absolutely get to experiencing time 10 times slower than the people you left behind.

Time passes at 1s/s within a frame of reference. So 1=1.

Case closed?

Does distance exist? Or is it just a marker too?

Yes, but can you reach 6km after traveling 2km?

That set up for a straw man argument ..
Not necessarily .. a straw man conclusion would be a premature conclusion.

The onus would be upon you, to show us how you arrive at your meaning for: 'exists'.
Hint: dictionary definitions are unlikely to convince reasoning scientific thinkers in a Physical and Life Sciences forum.

Observations are models constructed from human perceptions. Our knowledge is updated with new meanings for the word 'exists', by our minds and in science, those updates are on the basis of objectively tested results data. The other way, is by way of just believing something exists. So which way do you prefer?

What is aging, going from an infant to an old person. If time didn't exist no one would age thus no one would be born.
