"Time"

[DaveB]

Time is nature’s way of preventing everything happening at once…

Space is natures way of making sure it doesnt all happen to you.

How newtonian you both are.

I do okay with x and y, but lately I've been feeling that z is all in the mind.

I know who x is, but who are y and z?

The relatively huge distance within and between atoms is what makes the universe so big. If the distance between electrons, neutrons etc were brought down to a minimum, the entire universe would be the the size of a football.

Yes, a football the size of the entire universe.

Why go to all the trouble of having three space dimensions when two would do?

Stick with 11. The maths is better.

That's a BIG football. Imagine trying to head that!

Time does not exist. It is an intangible creation of man's mind to comprehend the order of events in our universe. Event occur in a linear mechanism and hence we see things unfolding as if in a logical order, one after another, and so we believe that "time" is passing by. "Time" has been created by man to facilitate our understanding of how the universe chooses to decide the flow of these events.

In other universes, events occur in no particular order - events can be here, now, or there, then, or somewhere way back when. There is no logical order of flow and so there is no "time". For us, with our limited linear concept of "time", this is chaotic and incomprehensible. But there, everything is in the now, in the present - "time" is spatial and not dependent on an orderly unfolding of events.
