@kevin p what, why ?

Kip has deserved it for years. But the Nobel people want a specific, measurable thing. Einstein did NOT win his Nobel for Special or General Relativity, He won it for the explaining the photoelectric effect.

+Abel Bekele His guidance on the visibility of a wormhole and the appearance of a huge black hole from the outside are groundbreaking in science fiction. "Contact" tried to do it and was better than most, scientifically, but "Interstellar" did a great job in using real physics to create an impressive scene in the movie. Now, I'm still intrigued by the "tesseract" which, to me, was revealed in Madeline L'Engle's "A Wrinkle In Time".

Sharif Matar what’s the name of the novel, please

Sharif M / So that's the proof that your brain creates the illusion of a pasage of something that in reality doesn't exist. "Time" as a real material quantity doesn't exist because you can't fill a bucket with it. Time is not a real dimension. It is just an artificial effect, an artificial non-existent effect invented by your brain when compare a change of material position. You don't need "time" in order to explain the world. Einstein, Keep Torn and many others out there like them are just the perfect examples of human idiots.

@@mikel4879 the idea of time is an idea, as you said. Though you are correct, you are also ignorant and blatantly misrepresenting what science veiws time as. in mathematics, in order to properly describe a system, and predict what that system will do, you must include time into your calculations to show real outcomes. time is an illusion, just like your entire material reality, because it's all made in your brain. in reality, your eyes take in quantized information, converts it, and presents you with this world. if you want to argue semantics, then prove anything you know actually exists. youll soon enough realize the only thing you can prove is that you exist enough to experience and comprehend that experience. you experience time, I assume, therefore, one could use said experience to rationalize, and in a universally understandable way, our existence and beyond. if time is a illusion, then perhaps you could convince it to loosen it's grip on our existence.

Jared O / You're talking stupidities exactly like the scientists you're referring to. The "eyes" take in the instant information, channel it to the material brain, and the material brain "store" it. The "past" that you remember doesn't exist anymore and the "future" is just an illusion concocted by the same material brain functions. All the universal material reality exists only as an instant process, as deep as it can exists as an infinitesimal local material iteration. The rest of it are just theoretical interpretations done by a "biological" or artificial brain-like structure that has the specific material functions. Etc, etc. You're all square heads talking nonsense that's coming out straight from your arses because your brains are impotent.

@@mikel4879 however you want to split it to suit your own explanation is fine. truth is you still experience time. like I said if time doesn't exist, tell that to the reaper.

I'm re-watching this for the n-th time knowing what you said and it sounds much better now :D Actually I just understood this mixing property of spacetime. I can't believe it took so long...

ron leblanc I bet your fun at parties

Brian Ashlocke I don't understand what you mean, the view of Kip Thorne and others such as Paul Davies is that Space Time is an absolute entity - They aren't merely metaphorically 'dumbing down' abstract mathematical concepts to reach out to a laymen audience it means exactly what it sounds like it means. It goes all the way back to the debate between Newton and Leibnez as to whether space and time exist independently (Absolutist View) or just for the matter that resides within (Relationism)

My favorite internet comment of the year. Well said sir

Your comment reeks of elite-ism. KZfaq is not a college classroom. Dumbing down the content is how it becomes accessible to the masses. That's how interested, curious people are moved to seek truth. The hard truth.... CTT 🤔

It’s also illustrated by the number of false quotes ascribed to Einstein... smh...

We need to use this... As a rule

I totally agree with your comments Tomas. I think with all the excellent Physics and Mathematics that Kip Thorne has given us over his long life, he is entitled to a speech impediment. Do they also make fun of Stephen Hawking's speech impediment ? Kip Thorne is a giant in the field of Gravitational Physics, he doesn't just deserve respect - he has earned that respect !

Graeme J2 - Thanks very much for your understanding, one which shows considerable familiarity with Kip Thorne... and thank you for taking the time to post the comment. I'm sure many were puzzled by the superficiality of comments, which is to say, judging someone by a minor speech impediment as opposed to rare creative genius.

AAEEHH to that!

makes you wonder if mockery drove person with speech impediments towards such roles... or perhaps the children of pirates were more likely to possess speech impediment and more likely to be pirates themselves... KZfaq comments be crazy

@@adshoiu8d Thanks! I Will!!

+Charles Brightman I think the same way as you, that is the nature of what we call space and time. In reality, time is a certain frequency of events that we measure and call them something to separate what happened from what is happening.

+Victor Hugo Thank you. Some people say that the past, present and future don't really exist per se and everything is just an "eternal now". Personally, an entity can't even think a thought without a time before the thought, a time during the thought, and a time after the thought. What was anticipated in the future, passes through the present, and becomes evident by the past. That thought was in essence an event in "spacetime". It was a part of the flow of energy in the universe of energy. I've heard some people claim that "time" is the "speed of causality", the speed of events occurring. While I can see their point, I believe them to be wrong due to one vital point. "Speed" is distance over "time". They are utilizing "time" to define "time" without really saying what "time" actually is. In my definition above, I don't make that error. "Time" is purely just the "flow of energy". And if no energy flowed, then "time stood still". It would still exist but just wouldn't flow. In part why I believe this all matters: 1. The "big bang" theory is the front theory of how the universe and all in it came to be. 2. That would mean that there was probably a very high flow of energy during the "bang". 3. That flow of energy is probably less now then it was then and will most probably be lower still in the future as the universe supposedly keeps expanding and energy that cannot be created nor destroyed would be getting less and less dense, most probably on it's way to a "big freeze". 4. Since modern science recognizes a one to one relationship with space and time, to me then it would at least be possible that "time" itself is slowing down giving us a relative perspective of an expanding universe. Relatively speaking, wouldn't we perceive the same perception, (whether "time" didn't change but "space" did, or whether "space" didn't change but "time" did)? Or maybe both are true, universe expanding and time slowing down? And maybe it's not a one to one relationship but a curved relationship? Hence we perceive the universe speeding up as it expands. In my analysis I have apparently discerned some things: 1. If an eternally consciously existent entity does not actually factually exist in actual reality, then all things would cease to matter one day as one day there wouldn't be a conscious entity left to care. Life itself is just an illusion as far as eternity is concerned. 2. If such an entity truly exists, but it's not us, then life itself is still just an illusion from the human perspective as far as eternity is concerned. And one thing such an entity could never ever do, (to personally experience a total cessation of conscious existence), just happens to be the one very thing we, (as well as many other species), cannot apparently ever escape. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe this entity experiences "death" through entities that consciously exist and then cease to consciously exist. If so, can this entities' connection be discerned and utilized by us while we are yet consciously alive? (Even though it wouldn't matter from the human perspective as far as eternity was concerned). I am down to only two possibilities, and with Occam's razor have narrowed it down to only one: We either: 1. Truly do have an eternal conscious existence somehow, someway, somewhere, in some state of existence, (I acknowledge possible as there is much I as well as all of humanity do not know yet); Or, and more probably it currently appears: 2. We truly do not have an eternal conscious existence. One day we all die from something, a death that will last into a very real eternity. We won't remember anything at all. Our "afterlife" will be like our "beforelife", a state of non-existence. Life itself is just an illusion from the human perspective as far as eternity is concerned. Of course, if we do truly do have an eternal conscious existence, then we will either be eternally alone or still just an individual in a society of individuals. The same basic choices conscious entities have now, (to help, neutral, hurt, and to whom to help, neutral, hurt), they will probably have then also. We will basically have to deal with assholes for literally eternity. I personally am not so sure I would want that if I had a choice. Maybe I don't, but maybe I do somehow, someway. Sorry this is so long, but I currently consider myself as a "truthseeker" just trying to get closer to the real truth.

Charles Brightman​ Although this is great and makes logical sense, Im a bit lost on a few things and would love to discuss them with you so that we can come into an agreement... so please if youd like to do so email me victorhugomuzi@gmail.com Also, other intelligent beings can and do interact with humans. I can also guarantee you that if we cannot see the future and connect mentally (which i believe we cant while in a body), these beigs do that for us making it look like we do. Some of their features i have discovered from speaking to people that have experiences with them: 1. In order for them to communicate they almost always have to take over a body, but they also love to take over bodies which meane they could be lying just to do that. 2. For them to make anything happen they need something in return, also once a fellow mason told me that they do this because they can transfer energy long distances and use it(so they follow the rule that energy cannot be created nor destroyed) This is done either by sacrifices or something as simple as lighting a candle. 3. They prefer to be cast and do 'their thing' in the absense of light I have one question: Do you mean that the the flow of energy from the bang was the beginning of time, and as it flows time will flow? Ive heard a spiritual person say that the spirits he talks to said that time is speeding up. 

+Victor Hugo I just received your message now, I've had company all day and was just checking my messages before bed. I would like to discuss anything you would like to discuss in an intelligent manner. I will be emailing you after this. I may not know the answer to your questions, and if so, I will tell you so. My intent is to seek the real "absolute truth" as best as I humanly can in topics that interest me, (full well recognizing my own human limitations and fallibility as well as the fact that I as well as all of humanity truly do not know what we do not know). To answer your question: No, I do not believe that the bang was the beginning of "time". Nor will the end of this universe be the end of "time". And yes, the flow of energy is the flow of "time" I currently believe. As far as some of the other stuff you mentioned, let me put this out there: How exactly does the human brain think a thought? With billions of brain cells and trillions of brain cell connections, how exactly does the energy signal know where and when to start, what path to take, and where and when to stop to form a coherent thought? Obviously it does, but how exactly does it do it? An analogy I like to use is: Spread a brain out like a map. Brain cells are represented by towns and cities. Brain cell connections are represented by roads and highways. A coherent thought is represented by a vehicle traveling between one or more towns and/or cities. How exactly does the vehicle know where and when to start, what path to take, and where and when to stop to form a coherent trip? A higher intelligence has to tell it those things. But, in a way, that is a coherent trip in and of itself, albeit if only in the mind. So, how exactly does our brain think a thought before it thinks that thought? What exactly is the higher intelligence behind our very thoughts? If from within the brain and/or body, how exactly does it do it? If from outside the brain and body, how exactly does it do it and why? Do I even truly have "conscious freewill"? Am I typing this or is the higher intelligence typing this through me? Also, do we and everything that we perceive exists, actually exist? Before you think I am crazy, let me briefly explain: 1. Modern science says energy cannot be created nor destroyed. (Hence energy is eternally existent, otherwise science is wrong and energy was created at least one time in history); 2. Modern science is seeking an energy singularity that everything in existence gets it's existence from. Do we and everything that we perceive exists actually exist, OR does only this eternally existent energy singularity exist in the form of all things?
