Except our time isn't really set from the stars, though we do use the movement of them to make a measure of how much has past.
Actually UTC is based upon a network of 500 atomic clocks, located around the world. I don't want to be pedantic, but I do want to cut the ground from under some of Dad's nonsense.
That truly is silly..if you are suggesting time is defined by clocks?! Time itself is involved in how atoms do what they do and how long it takes. To merely look at things that involve time, would be like saying that time is set to when you got married. Yes it took time to get married for those who do, just like it takes time for the moon to move, or atoms decay. None of those things that mark time ARE time though, neither do they set how time is woven into spacetime.Actually UTC is based upon a network of 500 atomic clocks, located around the world. ...
I meant historically, we have used stars to tell time at night as a species. Of course we don't anymore.
Jesus was God in the flesh, and we know what He was like!Your god could just as easily be one of these so called evil spirits you claim the others to be, prove definitively that it couldn't be true.
neither do they set how time is woven into spacetime.
And a fat lot you know about that. Could you write down the equation which relates observed time to proper time?
You need an equation to sort out what is cause and effect? This is a tacit admission you do not know what time is. Apparently you must think of time only in terms of earth, and area, and how things move and operate here?
Considering that it was a misunderstood newspaper article about General Relativity which started you on this nonsense, I wouldn't say that the equations of Relativity were altogether irrelevant.
Not at all, unless time was woven in exactly as it is in our solar system! Are you making a clear claim here, and plan to back it up, or blowing smoke up our posteriors?Relativity, by the way, is applicable throughout the universe.
Says you. Yet God and all the early civilizations knew better apparently. Go figure. You would need more than opinion.
Great, and a cog moves in a clock...so?
Well, if you knew real time and could talk about 5000 actual years rather than belief based years
Hey, you haven't even shown any physics! Would you claim that time does not affect our laws, and is not part of 'our' spacetime???

I am claiming that you know nothing at all about Relativity.
Jesus was God in the flesh, and we know what He was like!
That assumes that He lied or was wrong when He said that if we ask we will recieve, if we ask for His Salvation, He comes in to our hearts and lives. Once He does that people get to know Him. It was those who knew Him that gave us an inspired record, guaranteed accurate by Christ, of what He was like on earth. Your perspective then, is that of an outsider, and the natural mind. WE can and do know what He is actually like! You can too. He paid the price and offers it to all who come to Him...who ask.Supposedly. Guess what, people lie, people exaggerate. You don't really know what Jesus was like.

"...The theory of relativity predicts that in a strong gravitational field, time should slow. Clocks such as NIST Boulder's should be able to detect that slowing… and whether that slowing is different on different places on Earth. "
"In spacetime we can define an event as something marked by the 4 coordinates x, y, z, and t. (Note that an event may be uneventful.) What is the metric defining the distance between two events? Here's one in Euclidian geometry, from special relativity:
ds2=(c dt)2 - (dx2 + dy2 + dz2)
Let's go back to the cosmological principle: the universe is homogeneous and isotropic.
We need a metric that reflects this.."

Jesus is witnessed to have said that He would have His Spirit bring things back to remembrance actually, so that the record would be correct. So He did write about what He did. So did others, who were His friends and believers.Jesus didn't write about what he did, other people did. Not Jesus's fault if they exaggerated.
You are thinking in the bubble! Time itself may not be set with gravity, for heaven sake. Gravity is merely one influence on spacetime here!Quite right. So? I trust you realise just how strong that gravitational field would have to be to have any significant effect.
No, in any spacetime you dream up actually! If you have two points, (represent them with a y and z or any letter you want) where one is IN spacetime and the other is not, you cannot connect them in the way you may think. Period.Only in flat spacetime. And that isn't Euclidean geometry by the way. Even if Wikipedia says so.
If you can show that a metric must include a spacetime like ours, where time is woven in a certain way, and another time and space, then you may define it! Until then, you muddy the waters.I didn't ask you for a copy and paste, I asked you for the definition of a metric.
I will give you a start:
Let μ be a metric, then
1.) μ(a, b) >= 0
2.)

You missing the point on purpose? Is a metric in spacetime or not?You are just displaying your ignorance of Relativity. No surprise there.
You really don't know what a metric is, do you?
