Is Time An Illusion?

...checked it. A ways in though. "what do you think of consciousness?"...'I'm all for it' That may not be the exact quote, but that's the idea. I watched on the pbs website.

I think Through the Wormhole did an episode on consciousness too.

...nice! I like Freeman's semi-snarl that he speaks with I'll check it out for sure.

...I wonder, how would a civilization potentially 1 million years ahead of us not be advanced @1:15 All joking aside, look at the last 10 years alone. Technology has been cruising, so-to-speak.

Kardashev scale is a method of measuring an advanced civilization's level of technological advancement. In general terms, a Type I civilization has achieved mastery of the resources of its home planet, Type II of its solar system, and Type III of its galaxy.[1] When extra- and interpolating the scale to include values in hundredths, the human civilization as of 2011 is currently somewhere around 0.72. Calculations suggest we may attain Type I status in about 100–200 years, Type II status in a few thousand years, and Type III status in about 100,000 to a million years.[2]

...madness! That's neat. A visual reference for me when reading your post was that of the other 90 or so percent of grey matter to walk around in.

Hey, Eye! How was the birthday? Hope you got wasted and a birthday BJ

...awesome! Thanks for asking.

Oh, and I walked by a fan... so yeah

Here is a torrent link for Brian Greene's "The Elegant Universe" which talks in depth about a lot of more advanced theories in natural language.........

Soon as the PBS one is on tpb i'll toss it here too, great stuff

...did the DL, thanks for sharing that! Will watch today.

...and the Kardashian scale is a method of measuring stupidity output on a descending scale ...I say descending because that sht is pretty dense. Time bending, even.

...thanks. That bolded stuff up there is awesome. Reminded of that phrase "lost in translation".

Expansive Reductionism, it just came to mind so I wrote it. From the quantum level are personality filters that become a world layer by layer.

High, yep, I'm high...

*time doesn't always change things... as I come back to this post, I am high.

"[...]reminded me of an idea of Jim Bjorken [...] He asked the question “What is the smallest spacetime we can imagine that would fit all our current cosmological observations?” The answer is that we are living in a super special spot in a minimal size spacetime. For simplicity, let’s imagine we observe that we are accelerating, so we are heading into dS space. Then, according to his “principle of minimal spacetime”, our worldline trace the center of the causal diamond of dS, but outside this causal diamond can basically be anything.
Of course, the principle predicts, observationally, nothing (since it is constructed by fiat to fit all observations). But I think, in the light of all this landscape business, maybe it can has some theoretical implications."

*how come your presence doesn't glow green like just about everyone here? (online indicator) Seems as though you're one of the 'greys'

...awesome, thanks! "in the dark your brain glows, and it goes: way um way, way um way um" (wondering if you might remember that one otherwise, that may only look like a few ways and ums...)

Haaa hhaaa.. ahhhh, open your mind brother, there is a universe in there you are hiding from yourself.

Lol. I am less blocked in mentality than you.

You are blocked by science, and things such as "Black Holes"
If you could get away from the "Fan Fiction" And to real thinking, you would have LESS blockage, and be able to see MORE than just math.

There you go with constructive arguments again!

Dammit Shaggy, how could I have overlooked the "black holes" that "block my mentality"??

I have a friend that conforms to all kinds of new age thinking and mysticism, just like you! We call him.... idiot.

I think you suffer from verbal constipation.

You know, this could actually be a point of view. Something useful perhaps, but you seem to hesitant and not elaborate.

What is this, beyond math and black holes, fan fiction, etc? What do
you see that is beyond?

Or, are you simply an enthralled cultist of some superstition you were
handed. Such as, Christian? Believe the world was formed whole cloth 8000 years ago? God makes things look old or powerful
or far away, to fool us?

What drives this force in you, to object only, without commiting to your worldview on the subject? What are you really suggesting? Something simple, like you are cool and we are not?
