• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Does time function in a universe that is at Absolute Zero?
Let's look at a universe at absolute zero. In a universe at absolutel zero there is no movement. There is no such universe known or knowable, although the mind of a creationist may approach such a state asymptotically.

In logic it has been demonstrated that from contradictory premises you can conclude anything. From nonsense you can derive nonsense.

You might want to refresh your memory with the OP, which says this:
If absolutely everything in the universe where to stop changing except for one single object...

My question entails that 'one single object' stopping as well; so how does that make my question any more "asymptotic" than the OP?

Accurate
There is no such universe known or knowable,
Accurate as well, although the heat death hypothesis comes very close to this.
Technically you are correct, but you are attacking and insulting AV's thought experiment (i.e. "the mind of a creationist", "in logic..." etc)
Are you likewise attacking and insulting the thought experiment of the OP? Or were you just commenting on that earlier?

It's not much of a reach really.

He just took the thought experiment "one object" further, that's all.
