The intriguing phenomenon of crop circles

Umm . . .

Umm actually the documentary is quite good. Did you watch it?

The Pi crop circle was awesome.

I would say it's done from above so it's either a big plane which carries a special equipment or satellite or something else.

Or a couple of locals walking round with a plank and a bit of string.

+1 And yes I watched it. I'm still struggling to believe there are so many gullible people out there.

Uuummm I keep my mind open

People often put a restriction on themselves that's liken to building one's own cell...I'm here to see the world and see possibilities and die happy knowing

According to the M theory(the latest string theory) we are probably like the fish in the tank . . .unaware of the other dimension aside our own 3D . . .and this physics theory is gaining popularity these days. And the people who came out with it must have IQ way beyond mine and the majority of the earth population.

A couple of friends from the parallel universe would not hurt

So you are saying that because I believe that the most probable explanation is the one that is also the most plausible, that I have a closed mind.

Good Day to you Sir.

+1 to this.
And we are capable of experiencing at least a 4d universe, the fourth dimension being time.

Just look at how many Millions of Dollars people spend on Homeopathic Remedies each year. "If something is diluted so often that no trace of a molecule of it is left in the water, then it's gotta be so strong that it cures me. And, of course, what causes the illness heals the illness."
This is ridiculous beyond belief.

Umm don't take it personally I didn't mean to pun anyone I was just speaking my mind. Don't take it personally and I respect your belief and stand

Umm time is not a dimension in itself imo.

Time exists when space was created. Time is merely changes. The whole space(universe) is undergoing constant changes since the beginning of space( and thus time).

We lving mortal beings who have the capacity to track the changes in ourselves, in the immediate environment and in immediate space, track(clock) the changes that's taking place as time.

Time is thus a man made concept. Time only exists in mathematics and in our head. The universe is always at the present. We refer to the recollection of changes we experienced as the past or yesterday while tomorrow is just wishful thinking

I'm just saying that due to our consciousness we have an awareness of changes that's taking place in our micro daily life and in our immediate cosmos. So if we were to say that time was another dimension in itself while it's simply part of our awareness then we must by all account take thoughts and emotions as another dimension in itself as well which they are not.

The same reason why nobody could show us a zero or a minus in life. Sure there are zero and minus degree of temperature but then again that's only a measurement of which standard is man made. You can't show a zero otherwise it's not a zero and you can't show a minus or the square root of 5+8i in RL.

Well I'm no physicist but when you realize what I'm trying to say isn't it weird that we human beings so being tormented with having not enough time and our persistent worry about the future while now is the time we all got.

Just a funny thoughts anyway.

Time as a dimension is defined as the location of an object in three-dimensional space for each unit of time measurement; it doesn't really matter what your definition is of time itself.

Sure there are zeroes and minuses. Temprature is a scalar, so it cannot be; a vector can be though. For example, if I'm walking backwards, I have negative velocity in relation to the direction in which I am pointing.

Yea I'm no physicist of course and of course it doesn't matter what I think and I wasn't trying to define time nor try to convince anyone but I was merely showing to point that the past is nothing but a recollection of our memory and tomorrow is just wishful thinking. The whole space is perpetually at the present(My question is more philosophical than scientific)

Does time still exist in still universe? or never changing universe?


As for speed as a vector that would still indicate a measurement with the plus assigned for a direction and a minus the exact opposite of other.
Or it's simply a symbol-logy of exact opposite. In other words you need reference by assigning a direction a positive one. In plain RL it would simply called moving backwards at say 0.3 m/s. You can't show a negative still. Positive and negative remains a concept for all I know. An applicable one but still a concept nonetheless and it's the same with time a concept, an applicable concept but it remains a concept.


I don't try to belittle mathematics in any mean btw

And by that definition of time what if nothing(absolute nothing) ever changed(or more simply ever moved) in a universe would then time still exist?
And what if in that ever unchanging dimension(or ever still to put it simpler) you or me(as awareness) was placed there for eternity, now would there be time then since time is registered in our head though no change or what you said movement took place ever?

[Castout]

Does time still exist in an ever unchanging dimension?
What if there was no awareness in that ever unchanging universe and what if there were awareness there? would that change the fact whether time exist or not?

Or to what raptor defined does time still exist in an ever still universe?

Or time is simply the result of space whether it changes or not.


My question is just philosophical rather than scientific...

[Castout]

On the less serious side, this probably would make my point
