Isn't time a measurement of motion?

Not always, we base our measurements of time on the rotation of the earth however time existed before creation when there was no movement. There was a time before anything was created.
Really? And what was this measurement of time based on before anything existed?

Facts don’t matter.

They don’t have a better theory to replace it with and don’t want to have to scrap what they got and start from scratch, so the models will remain in place and someone will figure out another bandaid, and all will be well in wonderland for another 50 years.... meanwhile they’ll keep patting themselves on the back for finding nothing......

It goes along with their false claims that Eddington predicted the CMB, when his temperature prediction was based upon the radiation given off by stars.

They then say that was just a coincidence, but was it?

The time between when nothing was created then something was. Are you saying this time period didn’t exist?

I’m saying there was no time until something existed to measure. Which is why God is timeless..... Only the creation is subject to time....

Oh I’m sorry I misunderstood you. Yes I agree God is outside of time. He sees everything throughout all time at any particular point in time.

I challenge anyone to explain what that^^^ means.
No more confusing than science claim that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, so is in effect timeless as it always existed and will always exist.....

Why, do you have a problem with the scientific claim that energy is not subject to time?????

I havent examined the scientific claim you cite.

I want to know how you (or anyone) can understand the claim you made.

... Dad claims physics is different outside our fishbowl. You claim physics is different outside our fishbowl..... while arguing against Dad that the physics is the same everywhere....
i) 'Physics' is how we make sense of observations. All observations (even those in thought experiments) don't alter the need to make sense of them .. and that's regardless of where and how they occur, (in our minds, via spectra, etc). 'Physics' therefore persists wherever there's something to make sense of (or explain).
ii) 'Fishbowls' are bounded .. our senses and perceptions extend over cosmological scales. The boundaries of 'fishbowls' can thus be specified over that same same scale and we take our need to make sense, (aka: 'Physics'), along with those 'boundaries' .. and even beyond them.

Justatruthseeker said:
95% of cosmology is Fairie Dust, you should know....
'Fairie Dust' is imaginary .. observations aren't.

Justatruthseeker said:
You just keep believing energy is continuing to be created out of nothing......
'Nothing' is not nothing. You use the term as a cover up for not understanding the meaning of the concept being referred to.

Don't criticise others who do understand it.

Justatruthseeker said:
You just keep believing space can expand apart an infinite dense point, but can’t do anything to a solar system..... That’s what Fairie Dust does, blinds with its glitter.....
Explain your understanding of the context of Noether's theorem in this, (its a proof what's more!), in your own words.

If you find you can't, then don't criticise those who can.

Justatruthseeker said:
Show me where expansion in the lab has been correlated to any actual redshift? In fact, show me any expansion in the lab at all... Or are you just throwing in math to make your numbers add up without any actual verification?????
I could stuff a chicken into a shoebox and succeed in not demonstrating how one can fly across the yard. The exercise is completely useless.

Justatruthseeker said:
Or are you going to start incorrectly claiming Doppler too, so you can bait and switch people into believing you have a correlation, even when they tell you not to confuse it as a real velocity????
Once again, don't criticise valid Physics applied in unexpected testable ways .. that's how human understanding moves forward.

You need to apply yourself more .. in order to keep up.

Just told you.

What do you think God is, a physical being?

This is why creation is so easy to understand, He merely transformed part of himself into the material universe. Which is why science agrees it can never be created nor destroyed, but only be transformed.

He is mind, pure Energy. He has always existed and will always exist and is not subject to time. And just like Energy, everything is made from it and at the same time it exists in everything and everything returns to it.

You do realize your thoughts are pulses of energy do you not?

Until the fishbowl is beyond our local cluster and you need different physics of expanding space, right? Physics not seen in our little bounded portion......



'Fairie Dust' is imaginary .. observations aren't.
Except the observations have alternate explanations without invoking new physics outside of our fishbowl.....

'Nothing' is not nothing. You use the term as a cover up for not understanding the meaning of the concept being referred to.
Then what is this nothing made of? No idea, right?????

Don't criticise others who do understand it.
Oh please, 95% of your cosmology is made up of unknown Fairie Dust.... Who you trying to convince with your rants, yourself????

Explain your understanding of the context of Noether's theorem in this, (its a proof what's more!), in your own words.
A proof that every system has a conservation law for physical space, which you don’t mind violating by creating energy out of nothing....

If you find you can't, then don't criticise those who can.
I got no problem understanding every system has a conservation law. What is your excuse for not understanding?

I could stuff a chicken into a shoebox and succeed in not demonstrating how one can fly across the yard. The exercise is completely useless.
Useless distractions don’t work, try an actual argument in favor of your Fairie Dust....

Once again, don't criticise valid Physics applied in unexpected testable ways .. that's how human understanding moves forward.

That’s the problem. Every time physics changed it was because it was criticized. And no one is challenging physics, just your Fairie Dust that requires different laws of physics never tested or seen in any laboratory inside of our fishbowl........ claims of actual physics is highly overrated.....

You need to actually try to defend your Fairie Dust instead of saying I’m challenging physics... as said, it’s not the physics that’s being challenged, just your untested metaphysical claims of Fairie Dust did it....

As a matter of fact I’m actually the one claiming tested physics did it, you are projecting your own deficiencies onto others so you feel better about your beliefs....

Is that so?
Let’s look at a physical system that can be tested in a laboratory; a light source moving away from an observer.
The Doppler shift is measured and since the frequency of the light source decreases, energy is lost which is not converted into any other form.
By your own definition the conservation law for energy has been violated.
You are hopelessly confused; the system has no conservation law because conservation laws don’t apply across frames of references as I explained in a previous post.

Why, do you have a problem with the scientific claim that energy is not subject to time?????
This is a scientific claim?
Here is another test you should try in a lab; drop a ball.
Before it hits the ground the kinetic energy increases with time while the potential energy decreases with time.

While we are at it, I’m still waiting on your explanation if the Earth is accelerating through space resulting in time dilation why does a stationary accelerometer on the Earth’s surface not measure this acceleration?

Energy is not lost, you just fail to understand what is happening or Bremsstrahlung....

Is this the part where you say Doppler is just like sound waves moving through a medium but different????

This is a scientific claim?

No sorry, nothing decreases, that’s why it smacks the floor and releases its energy into the floor.... try again.... and the ball says it’s kinetic energy is zero and that it is the floor instead that is gaining it. But that’s why you fail to understand why light is always c regardless of velocity.... you keep thinking of this frame as an absolute frame despite claiming you believe everything is relative.....

While we are at it, I’m still waiting on your explanation if the Earth is accelerating through space resulting in time dilation why does a stationary accelerometer on the Earth’s surface not measure this acceleration?
That’s why you don’t understand why light remains c in every frame regardless of velocity. You keep thinking of this frame as an absolute frame.

For the same reason that every frame sees itself as stationary.

I’ve explained it many times, you just never paid attention. I’ll gladly do so again if you think you can comprehend....

Ever ask yourself why your accelerometer reads as zero despite understanding we are spinning around the earths surface at 1,000 mph, orbiting the sun at 67,000 mph, which is orbiting the galaxy at 514,000 mph which itself is moving through space. So despite understanding you are not stationary your accelerometer says you are.... so why do you think it should when you already know we are in motion and it reads zero?

Think on it for awhile.....

But let’s get back to your untested claims of different physics outside of our fishbowl.....

Its extraordinary that Justatruthseeker can't see that his brain (and its perceptions/observations) are either part of, or external to, the system under consideration here.

It’s a shame you can’t see that my brain didn’t occupy the same coordinates 10 minutes ago as it does now, nor did my clock tick the same rate 10 minutes ago. I just keep calling different duration ticks of time seconds.

The difference is I can admit to it, because the truth of time dilation doesn’t destroy my belief system....

No no no. Its easy to say. It is not easy to understand at all.

You couldnt even begin to explain in any comprehensible way what "transformed part of himself into the material universe" means.

Do you mean by transformed that he had "form" prior to creation, which gets changed? Did this form exist in space, but not in time? If not in space, how is it "form"?

But then you say he's pure energy. Is the energy "form". What even is the "form" of energy.

My problem here is you throw out a barrage of words that make sense structurally as written English, but appear to dissolve into meaninglessness when examined.

(Dont feel bad tho! Pretty much everyone who ventures into theology does this.)

Why not evoke pink unicorns or tooth fairies which are just as relevant given the motivation here is deflection.
You have been well and truly caught out by claiming all systems have a conservation law as Doppler shift contradicts this.

Apart from the fact you can't read simple English as I made it perfectly clear I was describing what happens before the ball hits the ground, why not explain it via pink unicorns and tooth fairies as once again deflection is the motivation here.


And this was answer to my question why does a stationary accelerometer not record the Earth's acceleration????
Your post once again shows you are totally out of your depth, as demonstrated by nonsensical Gish gallop type arguments and the usual insulting tone; a sign of feeling threatened.

Just as easy as science says energy transforms into matter...

Are you contesting the science?

Do you mean by transformed that he had "form" prior to creation, which gets changed? Did this form exist in space, but not in time? If not in space, how is it "form"?
No more than Energy has a definable form.....

But then you say he's pure energy. Is the energy "form". What even is the "form" of energy.
When science figures that out you’ll have your answer....

My problem here is you throw out a barrage of words that make sense structurally as written English, but appear to dissolve into meaninglessness when examined.
So you are saying the scientific definition of energy is meaningless, since it uses that same structure?????

Well if God is part of the material world of matter and energy, that clears up a lot. I mean, yeah there's some mystery as to "what actually happens" when matter/energy convert. But at least its observable and takes place in-time.

I have no idea what it means for a being whos outside of the material world to extend from "outside time" to convert non-material form into.... this. Its just a complete muddle.
