    Everything is within a time frame…

    meaning?


  • People from different locations see time-space differently.

    Ahm … “your” space time always looks good to you. It’s always the others space times that “behave badly”… of course, they think they are the only “normal ones” and you are “wrong” … :)


  • Yeah, that pretty much sums up life in general. :wink:


  • of course it does :)
    Physics describes everything ;)


  • Hahahhahaha… so true. :wink:

    hmm… i’ve been reading scientific american september 2002 this weekend which is a special issue all about time…
    one of the articles descibes a number of possible methods of time travel… and also makes reference to: “einstein confessed that he was troubled by the thought that his theory might permit travel into the past under some circumstances.”
    the main example of travelling back in time involves the use of wormholes…
    1. find or make a wormhole [with a particle accelerator]
    2. stabilize it [read: don’t let it become a black hole] by infussing it with negative energy
    3. drag one end of the wormhole to a neutron star where the intense gravity will cause time to pass more slowly. because time passes more quickly at the other mouth the two mouths to the wormhole will be separated by time and space…

    That would be extremely hard to do. According to the second law of thermodynamics, things like to move from a state oforder to a state of disorder or chaos. You’d need to put up a hell of a lot of energy to force the wormhole tostabilizie. The nature of things is to move into a state of chaos. For example, if you have a neat room in a certain state and you leave it be, it will eventually become messy and disordered.


  • Hmmmm… my room looks just find since the day I left it. :wink:


  • Could someone explain how a universe that wants to go from order to disorder(2nd Law of Thermo?) can have evolution (theory) as a key element (no pun intended.) Or is mixing law from one science with theory from another science impermissible?

    We had that in other threads.
    The point is semi-understanding of thermodynamics.

    2nd law of thermocdynamics: more correctly:
    In a closed system processes that reduce entropy are not happening.

    The earth as a system is not closed: we get energy from the sun!

    just short, but that covers the point
