As I was walking down the street one day

A man came up to me and asked me what

The time was that was on my watch, yeah...And I said

(I don't) Does anybody really know what time it is

(Care) Does anybody really care (about time)

If so I can't imagine why (Oh no, no)

We've all got time enough to cry

Ah, Classic Chicago!

Absolute time is unmeasurable because it is relative to your frame of reference (velocity). Here's a thought; say my friend flies around in a rocket ship in space at light speed for a year and then returns to visit me at my house. To him, he will have only been gone for a year. To me, he will have been gone for hundreds of years. When my friend shows up at my house to visit we will both be at the same point in space and time, though to him the universe has only aged a year and to me it has aged hundreds of years.

You are assuming you can live that long....

to debunk your thoughts, let me explain this.

The belief that a reincarnation of God was born, aka, Jesus. This is what started year 1.

As for the correct time of day, it's based on when the sun is at its highest, I believe on June 21, giving you noon, or 12:00pm.

.....

To make up for this lost time, we of course have added the idea of a "leap year" in which every 4 years we add an extra day. But if you do the math, that "leap year" does not fully account for every last second & as time continues to add... Those seconds become minutes, hours, days.... And of course, what about all the years before the calender included a "leap year"....

....

We'd end up with midnight at dawn, it would be rather obvious.

Time measurements just help us place things relative to each other i.e. event A happened before event B, or x time ago. The notion of absolute time isn't terribly important.

FREE YOUR MIND, you think it's 2010 when it actually more like 3010, no one really knows. You see we are all just batteries feeding energy to the Matrix.... :shiftyninja:

I'm glad I'm not the only one to think of that.

Arguably the majority of the world recognizes it as the year 2,010 (2010). But this is completely based on the religious belief on when a single "religious being" lived & died. rolleyes.gif

^ what is that suppose to mean exactly? you know im seeing more and more of you push your atheism on others here. i for one one gladly believe in something, whatever it is. sorry don't mean to turn this into a war but im tired of seeing comments like this, really offensive to me and im sure others. keep your religious beliefs to yourself! :wacko:

      I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

      Microsoft officially launched its Copilot Cowork enterprise AI agent on June 16, 2026, switching to usage-based pricing on the same day it disclosed it is considering a Microsoft-hosted version of China's DeepSeek V4 as a lower-cost engine for the platform — a pairing that puts the company on a collision course with both its enterprise customers' security teams and a White House that has spent months trying to wall off Chinese AI from American infrastructure.................... https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318647/20260618/microsoft-eyes-deepseek-v4-copilot-cowork-what-azure-hosting-cannot-fix.htm

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
