Same for me.

theory of relativity is now out of date my friend. as we speak newtonian physics -a rudimentary pillar of modern physics is being rewritten.

i also believe time simply exists all at once after reading about all of these paired photon experiments. very fascinating.

Yes, I believe that science is constantly changing as well. However I believe time, as I stated earlier to be the continuous perception of MATTER and ENERGY. Matter itself cannot perceive

therefore matter existing on its own does not exist in time, rather it exists in states Solid, Liquid, Gas or Plasma. Energy itself cannot percieve therefore energy existing on its own

does not exist in time, rather it exists as Potential or Kinetic energy. Time is the biological perception of matter and energy in discrete amounts, relative to the laws of the universe.

Relativity was on the money, just not truncated to our precise liking =). Existence is not contingent on time, rather time is contingent on existence. In other words, your existence was

not DETERMINED by time, rater TIME quantifies/determines your existence through your own biological processes.

Interesting. I need a minute to digest that....

...ok 2minutes. My question for you is what test or what determination is made to classify things as being able to percieve or not able to?
Do humans perceive? What about cells and microrganisms? What about the elements, atom, electons?
ok, go larger. Does a community of people percieve? What about the global community? Where is the line?

there is no line.
in quantum mechanics there is the requirement of an observer to determine the quantum state of an object. therefore in order for anything to exist in one exact way constant observance of everything you are talking about is required

time is just the progression of existence-
the playing out of every action and reaction, the first action being the beginning of time.
we experience this more acutely because we are a reaction having the intelligence to question and comprehend this kind of thought
its simple really,
Time is the same wherever you go. it is happening at the same rate, only the perception of it changes because of the cycle from which you were brought.
ex: if you are a creature of a larger planet your life is longer and a smaller planet?shorter life... you get this?
there is no actual distortion of time in space due to its bending under the force of the central object
to conclude this i also believe that all time, from beggining to end is happening all at once, or in one moment. different timescales can be experienced though.
you can experience this time to be infinitely long if you are on an object that is spinning fast enough.
at the edge of the universe, one would observe the earth to be spinning at, lets say 100000000000000000 times per second.

this is for everyone who thinks that time is of some form and that it can be distorted or bent by the forces of objects
the only thing being distorted or bent is your perception.
