SomethingDark Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I prefer the XKCD approach: when you wake up, it's 8AM, regardless of when you actually wake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*RedBull* Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 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.

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted November 11, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted November 11, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 You are assuming you can live that long.... I thought that was obvious. It doesn't change my point though. Even if he goes into space at light speed for just a minute, it will be days before he returns in 'Earth time'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurë Veteran Posted November 11, 2010 Veteran Share Posted November 11, 2010 ..... 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fix-this! Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 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. ^ 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
