cretinbob: I've often half jokingly reffered to the appearance of time being compressed (Geez it's October already) as the result of the earth being sucked towards a black hole.

Lots of people don't seem to get the joke though...


were being sucked into subby's mom?

EVER since Arthur Eddington travelled to the island of Príncipe off Africa to measure starlight bending around the sun during a 1919 eclipse, evidence for Einstein's theory of general relativity has only become stronger.

You know, it really doesn't seem like it's been ninety years.

I've got to slow down.

Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so.

wjllope: was TFA making a Phillip K. Dick reference?

Most astronomers, including Bean, are cautious about the results. "Nobody is yet betting money that the effect is real," says cosmologist Dragan Huterer of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Various other explanations, like a bias in the technique used to estimate the distances to galaxies, now need to be ruled out.

and all I can say to that is - Co Blue!!

cheers


I certainly hope so, cuz I didn't see one anywhere in this thread.

Time isn't real. It's only our arbitrary sectioning of change.

Elvis Da King: You figured it out.

Still there?


The real question is now what will God do, now that I've figured out his game? If he continues to change things he plays right into my hand, but if he doesn't, then we'll eventually figure out the current laws! I've caught God in a paradox, thus proving that the universe doesn't exist and everyone and everything, including me, is a figment of my imagination.

Reading that has made me less intelligent than I was before.

May God have mercy on my soul. (If any.)/(As applicable.)

Uh, no -- actually, all you did is prove that your theory can't possibly be right to begin with.


Or that God anticipated his paradox and is taking no action to cloud the realities.

It's me.

You're late

You are the late Elvis. How can you call Delay late? A late delay is early.

Uchiha_Cycliste: Whoa the thread just blew up (191 (+171)), no I have no idea what is going on or where to start reading. Do we start at the beginning again?

Are the message time stamps reflecting real time?

I will repeat this message in 3 minutes to check.

The majority of the time the + count reflects true number of added comments (I think), sometimes it goes nuts. Convieniently this is one of those times. (211 (+189) ) Your post is at: Quote 2009-10-23 01:17:18 PM (real time) My post has been at 1:09 for a while.

That looked like "chronilingous" there for a moment. I don't know what that means, but it sounds dirty.


That's when you're so good, time stops.

When the moonchild is crying
And silence has broken
The darkest truth

The things she remembered
Had never been her own
Replicant or human
I know the way to show
What do I see
What will I find
Know the answer inside
It's your last step

Time what is time
I wish I knew how to tell you why
It hurts to know
Aren't we machines
Time what is time
Unlock the door
And see the truth
Then time is time again

[Whispering]
These dreams were never mine
It's cold inside
It's gone forever
The things he saw
Who can say what's wrong or right
The vision of a free life
His eyes had seen it all
For what
He's asking
The vision, vision, vision
I know it's all a lie
I'll remember the past life
And I'll remember time

[Lead: Andre]

What did I see
What have I done
God I knew the answers
When he felt so tired

Time what is time
Come lock the door don't let me in
I am the one your destiny
Time what is time
Reality - it hurts me so
When time is time again

[Solo: Andre]

Look into my eyes
Feel the fear just for a while
I'm a replicant and I love to live
Is it all over now
Only these years
I'll leave but I'm singing

Time what is time
He saw it clearly it's too late
It does not heal but it lets us forget
Time what is time
We'll never know
So don't take care
Then time is time again

Should I forget
The way I feel
God he knows how long I tried
Feel there is no reason to cry
I live my life
In fortune dreams forever
