Theres a difference between touting to know the absolute truth and just pointing out that some things have been proven wrong or have alternate theories.

Honestly, do you feel the need to take personal shots ? You could just disprove me on my points, or at least debate them with me -- I'm not saying that I have all the answers, and I could definitely be wrong, but I speak with confidence when I've reviewed these topics for myself in certain depth.

I told inkanddagger he would be wrong because its been both experimentally and mathematically proven that time is infact not just one continuous stream, to continue the analogy as best as possible, time branches off into different streams that run at different rates. The equation he posted as a counter arguement to what I said wasn't explained at all -- but from the looks of it, it doesn't talk about time being continuous. Rather it seems like a proof that shows that time is influenced by gravity and mass.

I actually called it a singularity, not a continuous.

The entire river is happening at the same time.

Ah well,

care to explain what you mean in further details though? if its all happening at once, why do we as humans see an apparent order of time -- why do we remember the past and not the future (if it happens all at once, then we should have already lived the future too right?

nope thats just forward in time

just got back from bookstore and guess what. david toomey author and kip thorne (one of my favorites) co authored a book about time travel. -stephen hawking also contributed.

The entire river is happening at the same time. If you want to go to the mouth, you walk to the mouth, if you want to go to the source, you go to the source, it is still the same river at both points and in between and the entire river is happening at the same time, coherently.. Linear time does not exist. It is one thing that is happening all at once, but because we cannot observe the river in its entirety all at once, we have to float down it to observe the whole thing; we observe it linearly for convenience.

very wrong

speed and time are 2 completely different things. hate to brake it to you..

break*

Your an idiot, you would just be moving faster than the earth.
