This forum has one common theme - CHL/TLC that brought us here. That is what brought me to the forum.
The interests of forum members extend to other things like target shooting, reloading, travel, hunting, science, grilling, smoking, cooking, music, flying, photography, etc.
The membership is very diverse in age, backgrounds, family, opinions, outside interests, jobs/vocations, education, music, hobbies.
That is what keeps me here and posting. :tiphat:

Space/time? I once had a deep philosophical discussion about the concept of time. In it's best form, a definition cannot use words that derive their meaning from the word being defined. So, how do you define time. Seconds, minutes, hours, days, years are all units of time. But to give a good definition, you cannot use terms that derive their meaning from the concept of "time." So how does one define time? During that philosophical discussion, we pondered as we imbibed. Ponder as well my friends. We came up with a definition. Can you? This pertains to Einstein's theory directly, or space and time would not have a correlation.
Do what you say you're gonna do.

Special Relativity and the concept of time, that can shrink, elongate and stop is all relative. Einstein selected the speed of light as a constant. However, speed is a measurement of movement of an object relative to fixed frame of coordinates(space) per unit of time. However, space also is not fixed and can be wrapped. So, how come speed of light is fixed and not the unit of time??!!!

In addition, Einstein says light cannot escape a blackhole, so what it means light velocity is 0 and not the C, or time is always is 0 or both are 0.
