View Full Version : Time PAUSED?! TWICE?!

I have heard of a theory that suggests there is a known mathmatical equation said to actually prove that twice in the history of our human existance, time has actually stopped or paused for one second. This is not to say that the Earth itself actually stopped rotating, of course that would be silly, but it suggests that the recording of our "imaginary, man-made concept of time" (past, present and future) had actually failed to continue on as the forever uninterrupted time lapse that we imagine living by continues on flawlessly today. Has anyone ever actually heard of this equation and viewed the substance structure to which it involves? Is this true-this theory of "time standing still" or am I wasting my time unsuccessfully searching for that in which only time will tell if truth be told? For time is of the essence! :rolleyes:

Standard Mean Time is regulated today by the oscillations within atoms. This time is quite precise. However, it must be adjusted on a daily basis with rotational time (Earth's day is quite variable for many reasons.) to synchronise with a "day." The atomic clock must also be synchronised with the year (Earth's Solar orbit). And, celestial time (the movement of non-Solar Cosmic bodies) requires adjustments.
The Earth's rotation, orbit, and the motion of the stars are all regulated by different "clocks," which respond to forces that are, for practical purposes, independent of one another.
You might say that relative time "stands still" or "jumps" when these adjustments to "our" time are made.

I have no answer, but I wonder something:
If time stopped- how would you measure how long time stopped for?
time has actually stopped or paused for one second
Sorry that I dont have an answer, but I think it would be interesting to speculate:
*could* time stop? If it starts again, how would we know it actually stopped?
Time is relevant, right.. the astronaut that goes into space and travels really fast experiences time differently than those on Earth, right? So, if time stopped.. no-one would know.. nothing would change.. It would be no different than a nano millionth trillionth of a second.. You couldn't TELL that time stops... But then.. in theory, it could continuously stop and start again..
Well, I have things to think about.. :)

If time stopped- how would you measure how long time stopped for?There are many forms of time. The form of time is a function of the "clock" that measures it. Thus the turning over of an hour glass “clock” that regulates the passage of sand differs from the “clock” that measures the revolution of the Earth about its axis. The hour glass time differs from the time of a “day” as measured by the Earth's rotation.
However, all time is related to fundamentally intrinsic time (FIT), which is a component of all fundamental manifestations such as radiant energy and subatomic particles.
FIT is a function of the Conceptual Unit (http://www.physicsmathforums.com/showthread.php?t=322) that is heuristically defined by Pulsoids (http://www.physicsmathforums.com/showthread.php?t=98) and the Elliptical Constant (http://www.physicsmathforums.com/showthread.php?t=107).
When FIT does not exist there is no existence. That is: speed is either motionlessness or infinite. It can be said that the absence of time is at the heart of all actual non-locality. Thus, for any light wave there is an absence of time between its pulses. These pulses are composed of accelerating (and decelerating) motion that is responsible for the “photon” phenomenon.
Thus with light waves, observation of the absence of time is routinely observed.
Time does not exist between the non-local pulses of radiant energy.
Sorry that I dont have an answer, but I think it would be interesting to speculate:Speculation . . . and introspection . . . are always interesting. Regrettably, there are few persons that make an effort as you have.
*could* time stop? If it starts again, how would we know it actually stopped?Time stops whenever the escapement of its “clock” reverses the motion that it controls. When motion reverses there is a moment when there is no motion; thus, no existence; thus, no time. If the time that is being interrupted (stopped) is FIT, then all dimensions are affected . . . they cease to exist.
Time is relevant, right.. the astronaut that goes into space and travels really fast experiences time differently than those on Earth, right?This is not as simple as Einstein theorized as he was unaware of FIT. And, Einstein considered space-time as continuous. It is not.
So, if time stopped.. no-one would know.. nothing would change.. It would be no different than a nano millionth trillionth of a second.. You couldn't TELL that time stops... But then.. in theory, it could continuously stop and start again..It seem you pretty well understand the generally concept of discrete motion, time, and space. And, also you seem to grasp the minuteness of the Conceptual Unit (http://www.physicsmathforums.com/showthread.php?t=322) as it is relative to anthropoids.
Well, I have things to think about.. :)Keep going!!! Ask questions.
