Time dilation would make it possible for passengers in a fast-moving vehicle to travel further into the future while aging very little, in that their great speed slows down the rate of passage of on-board time.

If two objects are traveling near the speed of light passed each other,
which one is fast and which is not? Fast compared to what?

If you are traveling at the speed of light, does your flashlight still work?

Elapsing physical time varies depending on velocity. God can build billions of years of star formation in six days by putting earth at high velocity during Creation.

Hello skywriter, Welcome again!

Have you ever done math travel problems in high school? Grandma lives 292 miles away. You are going to Grandma’s for Christmas. You average 40mpg, but stop off for an hour lunch. How many hours does it take you to get to grandma’s house?

You are traveling to Aqua, which is 13 billion light years from earth. The passenger star ship you are traveling on, can (for easy math) reach light speed. You stop off at Jakar for an hour lunch, how long did it take you to get to Aqua?

Answers: (All answers are correct)

According to the Star Ship’s clock, it took you an hour, the hour spent at Jakar for lunch. Elapsing Time spent in flight is 0 hours because, traveling at the speed of light, physical time stops.

According to the clock back on earth, who has been tracking you, it took you 13 billion years to make the trip.

According to the clock on Ephra, a planet 5 billion light years from earth, it took you 6.5 billion years, plus an hour for lunch, for you to make your trip to Aqua. Your ship has an IAIL (I Am Intelligent Life) beacon on it. The scientists on Ephra found your ships beacon with their SETI dishes and tracked your trip. The planet Ephra is in the galaxy Oucran. The galaxy Oucran is traveling at a higher velocity than our Milky Way galaxy, and elapsing physical time is 50 % slower than ours.

According to the clock on Rinaut, a planet 9.32 billion miles from earth, it took you 13 years, plus an hour for lunch, to get to Aqua. Rinaut is in the galaxy Fabulie. The scientists on the planet Rinaut also picked up your star ship’s IAIL beacon with their SETI dishes, and they tracked your ship’s 13 year trip. The galaxy Fabulie is traveling much closer to the speed of light than earth so its rate of elapsing physical time is a billion times slower than earth's.

(All answers are given in EPVETE (Earth’s Present (twentieth century) Velocity Elapsing Time Equivalent)

Earth’s Cosmologists were very arrogant at the Summit of Alien Nations. The Aliens gave in and all space travel in the universe is calculated in, twentieth century Earth Elapsing Physical Time Equivalents, in the future. Atheist scientists did this in a failed attempt to insist on their erroneous attempt to lock in Christian Creation at, 13.8 billion (EPVETE), years ago. To calculate how much physical time (EPVETE) elapsed from God’s Creation, you first have to know all the various velocities, and durations of velocities, God had earth traveling at, during the six days of Creation, to get a valid answer. Physical time is a variable and not the constant atheist scientist are deceiving us to think it is.

What is velocity compared to? How do you measure the absolute speed of light?

Hello SkyWriting,

The meter, which we use to, measure in micrometers, and calculate distance and velocity in everything, even light-years of distance, is actually defined, (derived from), by the speed of light in a vacuum.

Quoted from: Speed of light - Wikipedia
The speed of light in vacuum, commonly denoted c, is a universal physical constant important in many areas of physics. Its exact value is299,792,458 metres per second (approximately3.00×108 m/s, or 300,000 km/s (186,000 mi/s)).

Quoted from: How is the speed of light measured?
After 1970 the development of lasers with very high spectral stability and accurate caesium clocks made even better measurements possible. Up until then, the changing definition of the metre had always stayed ahead of the accuracy in measurements of the speed of light. But by 1970 the point had been reached where the speed of light was known to within an error of plus or minus 1 m/s. It became more practical to fix the value of c in the definition of the metre and use atomic clocks and lasers to measure accurate distances instead. Nowadays, the speed of light in vacuum is defined to have an exact fixed value when given in standard units. Since 1983 the metre has been defined by international agreement as the distance travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second. This makes the speed of light exactly 299,792.458 km/s.

There is a creation seminar going on at the edge of the universe. Earth’s brightest cosmologists are invited to be the guest speakers. Earth’s starships can travel at nearly the speed of light. It is a two hour trip. Earth’s brightest cosmologists begin to explain that the universe is 13.8 billion years old; all the Aliens start laughing. Earth cosmologists call home for help. The person on the other end of the line tell them that those people do not work there anymore, they died 13 billion years ago. This is Time Dilation. Realizing their error, earth cosmologists add 13 billion years, rather than two hours, to their calculations as to when creation happened. The Aliens are on the floor roaring with laughter.

The Aliens start chanting, ‘Flat Time! Flat Time! Flat Time!’. One of the Aliens explains to earth’s cosmologists, ‘Has earth had scientists that thought the earth was flat? Well now let’s get you up to speed on how physical time works.’

Physical time is a variable and not the constant that atheist cosmologist creationists want to make it out to be. Albert Einstein discovered Time Dilation and published his ‘Theory of Relativity’. Physical time slows down as velocity increases. It is said that at the, speed of light, time stops. So from the prospective of Aliens from all over the universe, from planets traveling at a whole spectrum of different velocities, the physical time from creation varies vastly. So stating that creation happened at a specific time, when physical time is a variable and not a constant, is meaningless.

Earth’s cosmologists ask the Alien, ‘If they all knew this, why did so many come to our seminar?’. The Alien responds, ‘Because you come from earth where our Lord, God and Savior died for our sins. The Holy Spirit has sent the whole universe massive numbers of prophets telling of Jesus’ glory! Physical time may be a variable, but Christ’s Salvation is a constant throughout the Universe!’.

Time dilation and space flight

Time dilation would make it possible for passengers in a fast-moving vehicle to travel further into the future while aging very little, in that their great speed slows down the rate of passage of on-board time. That is, the ship's clock (and according to relativity, any human traveling with it) shows less elapsed time than the clocks of observers on earth. For sufficiently high speeds the effect is dramatic. For example, one year of travel might correspond to ten years at home. Indeed, a constant 1 g acceleration would permit humans to travel through the entire known Universe in one human lifetime. The space travelers could return to Earth billions of years in the future. A scenario based on this idea was presented in the novel Planet of the Apes by Pierre Boulle.

Quoted From: Wikipedia Time Dilation

That is definitely one possibility.

Depends on how nice certain Someones are to me, you, and all Christians, everywher.

The 13.7billion year figure is a result of astronomical measurements. Star light travels at the speed of light. Consequently looking into space is looking back in time. Star light travels at the speed of light.

Distance is measured by various methods. Primarily, for distance galaxies by red shift and by knowing the brightness of certain types of super novae explosions. Combining all these resulted in the most distant galaxies being measure at 13.7 billion light years away, and thus 13.7 billion years for their light to travel to us.

If you've studied the Bible you'd know that the universe is only thousands of years old. Who do you trust? God? Or know-it-all scientist freaks that don't even believe in God?

God could've easily set the light already beaming at Earth during creation. He deliberately made the universe seem old in order to test our faith--to test whether we succumb to our delusions when evidence don't seem to be aligned with each other.

I have studied the Bible. You can check out how much I've studied the Bible from my website bcbsr.com

As for Genesis see http://bcbsr.com/survey/genint.html

Arguments over the early chapters of Genesis are largely not about what the Bible says, but rather about interpretation of what it says. Same goes for all areas of theology. Denominational differences are largely over the interpretation of the Bible. But the naive typically will make the argument "If you don't accept my interpretation, then you don't believe the Bible." rather than investigating issues of interpretation and carrying on a rational dialogue.

What is the Hebrew word in the Bible that you are translating "universe" in the English?

We know that Adam and Eve lived in the Garden in Eden around 6,000 years ago. According to the observer effect the observer has an effect on what is observed. "In science, the term observer effect means that the act of observing will influence the phenomenon being observed." (Wiki) Adam and Eve were effected by the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and the Serpent. Science tells us this is when the Frontal Cortex developed and man became a free moral agent. This was the beginning of free will and the ability to make choices between good and evil, right and wrong. A choice that we are held responsible for in a court of law. None of this existed before Adam and Eve. (Justice is the law. Justice is the Law of God, the Law of the Divine, the Law of Nature, which seeks to balance everything, to reach an ultimate equilibrium of all energy.ת Tav)

The question is, how long did it take for God to Create Adam and Eve. According to Theistic Evolution it took God around 12.8 Billion years to make Adam and Eve that lived in the Garden of Eden around 6,000 years ago. So they say we are in the Universe and the Universe is in us.

Denominational differences are largely over the interpretation of the Bible.
When we look at the first Chapter of Genesis in the Bible we can use Science alone to tell us what those 31 verses means. According to Gerald Schroeder PhD there are over 200,000 Science books in the Harvard University Library that explains the first 31 verses in the Bible. Just the fact that Moses got everything in the right order is amazing considering that part of the Bible was recorded 3500 years ago.

What Science can not do is explain the first word in the Bible: "Beginning". We are told that God declares the End from the Beginning. Even David tells us that God writes the book of our life, every chapter and verse before we are even born. Science can not explain the beginning. If they did they would call it: "The Theory of Everything". God said, “Let there be light,”

Hello Joshua,
You are in your near light speed star ship. You take a trip to the edge of the galaxy, 13.8 billion miles away, and it takes you two hours to get there. God's physical, natural law on elapsing physical time, is that the faster you are moving, the slower physical time elapses. At the speed of light, 299,792,458 meters per second, physical time stops elapsing.

At the end of your space trip, you have traveled 13.8 billion light years. A light year is the duration of physical time that has elapsed at earth's present day velocity. Back on earth, 13.8 billion years have gone by, if earth's velocity has remained the same through all those years. To you, traveling at near the speed of light, only two hours have gone by, during the same period. So, Joshua, how many years from God's Creation is it now? Is it 13.8 billion years, plus two hours, from God's Creation? Or, is it now 27.6 billion years from God's Creation?

At near the speed of light, only two hours went by, while at earth's velocity, 13.8 billion years have gone by, during the same period, this is Time Dilation. The rate of elapsing physical time is not some sort of constant in the universe. Elapsing physical time is a variable which changes, as the variable of velocity, increases or decreases. Do you understand and agree with this physical law of nature?

Do you agree that billions of years of star formation can occur in six days, if God has earth traveling at, near the speed of light, during Creation?

Time dilation and space flight

Time dilation would make it possible for passengers in a fast-moving vehicle to travel further into the future while aging very little, in that their great speed slows down the rate of passage of on-board time. That is, the ship's clock (and according to relativity, any human traveling with it) shows less elapsed time than the clocks of observers on earth. For sufficiently high speeds the effect is dramatic. For example, one year of travel might correspond to ten years at home. Indeed, a constant 1 g acceleration would permit humans to travel through the entire known Universe in one human lifetime. The space travelers could return to Earth billions of years in the future.

Quoted From: Wikipedia Time Dilation
The advantage to Gerald Schroeders version of OEC is that each day is half the length of the day before it. That way everything lines us. Gerald Schroeder - Articles - Age of the Universe

You know that the age of the Universe is measured from our perspective here on earth. Although the reason we can still see an ancient universe is because the light does not age. So we can use a spectrograph to study the elements because they burn at a different color. So we can see that the early universe was mostly hydrogen and helium before the stars began to form. Then it was inside of the stars that most of the elements were made.

Today we know that we are in the universe and the universe is in us. Even the Anthropological Principle says the universe was created for our sake. Then we have a popular theory of the observer effect that nothing can exist without a observer.

Hello Joshua,
So you have been reading my other thread here at CF Creation forum.

"The Observer Effect" is a scientific term. Why haven't you visited my thread for comment?

I also have a thread at OBOB talking about the "Observer Effect", to counter hardened atheist Stephen Hawking. Here is my latest post there.

Albert Einstein once stated, "I would like to think that the moon was there, even when I wasn't looking at it!" Einstein was referring to 'The Observer Effect'. In the 'double-slit' experiment, it is proven that, at the Quantum level, electrons, protons and neutrons, are in a state of chaos, and only organize into near perfect order, to form immense objects, when, of all things, man is looking at them. So, Stephen Hawking, How did electrons 'evolve', to know when man is looking at them, and thus change their course? It is scientifically proven, and it is accepted by the whole scientific world, that they do so. Electrons even know when man is going to look at them in the future, and thus change their course?

So why didn't Stephen Hawking discuss the scientifically proven, 'Observer Effect'? Because, the 'Observer Effect', is God waving back at atheist scientists, through their electronic microscopes, and telling them that it is He who Controls every electron, proton and neutron in the Universe, every nano-second of physical time. The 'Observer Effect' proves that God created the universe for the purpose of man (Adam), to see, smell, hear, taste and touch, and as a home for (Adam) man, to live in. If, free-willed, love for God capable, conscious man, is not present in the universe, to observe and participate in the universe, then electrons, protons and neutrons, are not forming immense objects, to form the universe, because there is no purpose for God to do so.

Albert Einstein, and Hawking, along with today's prideful atheist cosmologists, fear the 'Observer Effect' tremendously! Hawking, with his child like, made up, concepts of "'multiverses' and, 'strings and corks', existing 'before the 'Big Bang', (Hawking's meaning, before God created everything)", is hardened of heart, atheist, Stephen Hawking, desperately trying to deceive people away from the overwhelming, great multitude of scientific proofs, of God's Existence as Creator of all that exists.

From OBOB: Stephen Hawking: Great scientist, lousy theologian

Quoted From: Wikipedia Time Dilation

Physical time stops elapsing at the speed of light. The closer you get to the speed of light, the slower physical time elapses. Albert Eisenstein's, scientifically proven, 'Theory of Relativity', Time Dilation.

Solve for time since Day One of Creation, aka the Big Bang.

It is the future and you captain on a star ship freighter, that can do near the speed of light. You "travel through the entire known Universe in one human lifetime" as Wikipedia Time Dilation definition describes. Traveling at near the speed of light, you travel 100,000 billion light years, during your 40 years as a star ship captain. A light year is the distance light travels in one earth orbit around the sun. When you come back to earth, 100,000 billion years will have passed on earth (which has remained constant at its present day velocity) during your 40 years of near light speed traveling.

So, the question becomes, how many years from God's Day One of Creation, aka the Big Bang, is it now? Is it now 100,013.8 billion years from Creation? Or is it now 13.8 billion years + your 40 years of life (traveling at near the speed of light), from Creation? Or is it, that there is no such thing as 'amount of time' from Creation, because physical time is a variable which depends on velocity; or in Einstein's words, 'Relative'. Thus we can only rely on God's Word, for the period since His Creation of all that exists.

So people living on Earth would be aging slower than those on Pluto because Earth travels faster relative to the sun than Pluto does?

So people living on Earth would be aging slower than those on Pluto because Earth travels faster relative to the sun than Pluto does?

Time dilation explains why two working clocks will report different times after different accelerations. For example, at the ISS time goes slower, lagging 0.007 seconds behind for every six months. For GPS satellites to work, they must adjust for similar bending of spacetime to coordinate with systems on Earth.[1]
Time dilation - Wikipedia
Hello Radrook,
People living on the International Space Station age slower than those on earth because they are traveling at a higher velocity, than people on earth.

It is not speed 'relative to the sun', as you state; rather it is any velocity relative to the Speed of Light. At the speed of light, physical time stops elapsing. The closer you get to the speed of light, the slower physical time elapses. Albert Einstein discovered Time Dilation, and published his 'Theory of Relativity' in 1916.

Our GPS satellites and the International Space Station are traveling 17,150 mph faster than we are on earth; yet we need computers to compensate for Time Dilation (slower elapsing physical time), due to their added, orbital speed. Is, 17,150 mph faster than earth speed, fast?

Our Milky Way galaxy is traveling through space at 1.3 million miles per hour.
Our solar system has to travel an added 483,000 mph, to orbit the center of our Milky Way galaxy.
Our Earth has to travel an added 66,000 mph to orbit our sun.
If you are standing on the equator of earth, you are traveling 1000 mph faster than those standing at earth's poles.

The combined velocity, we, on earth, are traveling, is 1,850,000 mph. (Hey get moving! What! I, on earth, am already moving at 1,850,000 mph! How much faster do you want me to go! lol)

Our ISS and satellites are traveling 17,150 mph faster than we are on earth. This does not seem like that much of an increase in speed from earth's present 1,850,000 mph combined velocity. Yet this 17,150 mph added orbital velocity causes physical time to elapse at a slower pace on the space station, compared to elapsing physical time on earth. Intergalactic, near light speed, Star Ships are going to experience a tremendous slow down in elapsing physical time, due to Time Dilation.

The Speed of Light is 670,000,000 mph.

Human walking speed is 2.5 mph.

This is Time Dilation.
