Emporion, you are one wacky dude. I feel like I am watching Spongebob stoned when I read your posts. It is like I know it shouldn't make sense, but I try to make sense of it anyway and then I wind up just confusing myself. You will say something so abstract that it could mean virtually anything in that context and then talk (type) to everyone like it is the most logical thing that anyone has ever said in the history of uncontrollable controlled time cheerios. It's baffling. 
Ok. Bad poll. I underestimated how smart people on this forum were. How many of you know math above 2nd semester calculus?
Just in case you guys have, I haven't done any extracurricular work on any mathematics.
I'm just good at making connections with general things to specific things I have learned about, experienced, etc.
Some of you are making me feel ignorant.   ad:

Gee, that should be one of my new thread topics. Thanks./just kidding/
Is that confusing? I can't really tell but I think, given the right interpretation, it could be confusing.

For all I know, you could be fucking brilliant and just really bad at articulating your genius epiphanies. Of course, it could be that I am retarded and cannot comprehend the sheer awesomeness of your forum revelations. Anyway, I wouldn't be too butthurt about it. 
Thanks(I'll take that as a complement even though I am being outsmarted by the members who responded. Lorentz transforms? I have never heard of them.), Honestly, for me, it seems to me that my brain is so in tuned with nature that my conclusions from observations are as close as scientific experiments whose results i have never looked at. Maybe the scientific studiers haven't even been made yet. My brain may just be a secret scientist in its own way(my guess-the sub conscience, which I learned about in a science book). Maybe I'm a scientist who just figures things out without any careful studies. I've just recently been able to identify variables to issues i hear about. My subconscious may be just off the scales compared to a normal human (the idiotic public mass). They are definitely stupid the way we intellectuals understand them compared to what we know about the world (countless example there). I might not vote anymore just because of the odds, and the party systems of government sucks worse than shit. I'll leave that for another thread where I can really rant about it. Will I be banned for that?
I think I'm just better at observing than I use to be.
Is this trolling?

No, this is not trolling. Maybe you're just exploring too much out of the box (while confusing people with your vague riddles).

I'm an abstract thinker.
"Maybe you're just exploring too much out of the box "
I think way way more out of the box than most people with your beliefs.

Right, but there are a variety of boxes and you don't know which one has the best surprises in it. I've got my own box!

In this case however the box is reality, you're both way out of it.
Perhaps you should focus less on being an "abstract" thinker and more on being a clear and concise thinker? It would do you, and your credibility, a hell of a lot of good

No, there is only one "box" (reality).

Post why you chose it and/or what your thoughts are about time(can it truly be controlled?) in the discussion below. DO NOT POST "I had an issue voting because the choices were too restrictive.". I know they are and that's not the point. You can only vote multiple times if you have multiple choices.
This is a private poll, so don't worry about who voted what.
Where is the option "Possibly" or "Unknown"?

Emporion, you said that by mathematical, you meant logical.
That's fine, can you demonstrate the logical impossibility of controlling time?

You don't know how smart we are. I have about 3 years of math above second semester calculus. But You don't need any thing beyond first semester calculus to fill in some very large appearent gaps in your grasp of basic concepts in physics. Your ability in making connections is evidently nowhere near as good as it takes to bridge on your own gaps in your grasp of basic physics concepts. It behooves you to study physics instead of making levitated connections.

He thinks that if you get more done in the same time frame you are actually saving time even after I showed him the contradiction in his reasoning. He is a kind-of rational atheist. I wanted to see if people here knew that it's mathematically impossible to control time.
Actually if you have 8 hours in your work day, and you complete your work in 4 hours, you are saving time. Mathematically speaking; 8 - 4 = 4
