STOP THE BUS I WANT TO WEE WEE (stop time?)

[Mark 13:13]

well this is what i'm interested in would we even notice and if the theory that the universe will just expand is not proved yet and there is still a school of thought for expand then contract what would the contraction be like and would the contraction also involve time moving backward also.

Yes, we would notice. Beings on the macroscopic level operate with the flow of time.

what about the microscopic level?

could time operate like a reverse recording with every molecule, atom, reaction, thought go in reverse, everything in reverse in tandem perfectly, and therefore we couldn't notice. Have we anyway to know as its outside of our experience, is the possability definately excluded.

I missed an "or do" before the I have sry if it caused misunderstanding.

If its not a misunderstanding due to my typing and poor proof reading the if the moderators took that view, I would leave the forum; so there you have it; if you feel there is no place for me in the forum then just ban me.

I'm not sure the addition of the words alters the meaning all that much, but setting that aside, I would like to request, not as a moderator but as a fellow member, that you please stop playing the whining martyr. Nobody gets banned simply for being here; post as you wish, or post not, it's entirely up to you. As long as the rules, which apply to everyone, are not broken, there is a place here for everyone. That doesn't make you, or me, immune from criticism - you've been here long enough now to know that what gets posted here will be subject to the most rigourous criticism right down to the pixel level. Think of it as peer review, if you like.

what about the microscopic level?

I think it would have little effect on the microscopic level. I am, however, probably not the man to ask about this. I do know that it is possible that macroscopic beings would be unable to remain conscious.

I am stating my position (full stop) call it what you want. But criticism is fine and I deal with it as I please. If anyone has a problem with how I deal with it and it is within the forum rules that,s their problem and people are free to do what they want and I can respond as I want within the same boundaries. And if you want to call me the whining martyr that's your perogative but changes nothing so as I told other posters in other words don't waste your time.

you and me both so I was hoping someone on the forum may do.

Until then I will assume I am welcome on this forum by some even if I disagree with them and they find me frustrating.

You were welcomed to the forum. Get the past tense right first. Now if you want to have a long stay with us you're going to have to do something more constructive than this brain fart of a thread Mark.

"I know how difficult it can be to get people to even consider new or unusual ideas," he said. "Even Einstein had trouble accepting the basic ideas of quantum theory. I've talked to professor Cramer, and what he is trying to do could be very important."

"Our theory is a long shot," admitted Weiler, who is a physics professor at Vanderbilt University, "but it doesn't violate any laws of physics or experimental constraints."

Of course its a nonsense thread when I ask these sort of questions but although my physics isn't up to these guys and my attempts to verbalise what i'm messing with maybe not as good but what the hell, I am not alone.

Perhaps you want to defend your "contributions" in a thread that doesn't start with "Stop the bus I want to Wee wee"

LOL well it was an attempt at humour but it went down like a lead balloon, lesson learned hock:

[The Grand Nudger]

If we're just talking about altering our perception of time when we talk about stopping or reversing it (and by using this language that is the only thing we could be talking about) then taking a picture or traveling faster than light would both qualify. Being that we currently understand time (more accurately space-time) to be a dimension of the universe..."stopping it" in any other sense than our perception of it would seem to be a wholly different proposition, as it's not actually "moving" simply existing. We're the ones moving through it. As DvF mentioned, it's difficult for me to understand a question like this, but are we talking about removing one of the dimensions of the universe, and wondering how that would affect us?

Mark, posting links to old articles on weak theoretical physics and dumping quotes IS NOT a constructive thread, AT ALL. You're not communicating with us properly because you're not telling us WHAT YOU THINK.

Of course its a nonsense thread

THEN, post it in the humor sub-forum! Don't inappropriately unload your lame-arse joke topics in the physical sciences sub-forum.
