So if time (of space/time) runs out, whats it gonna be like?

Be honest.

It's only observational at this point, and only from our point of view.
Maybe, and I mean maybe if man advances to speed of light space travel, then there will be some absolutes on the subject.

And any relationship it may or may not have regarding time perception to the traveler.

Trek: Light is photons; we know how fast these photons travel in a vacuum.

This is "really" understood.

Best,

Wow. Now THERE is a statement that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever,and I have been willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.

BTW...The speed of light was measured IN THE LAB!!

I thought this discussion was about time and space, not light speed.
I don't disagree with the findings of actual time it takes for light to "travel" from one place to another.

And, make up your mind fellas, man knows or he doesn't.

Once again, trek..you astound me with your capability to obfuscate a simple concept.

[trekkor]

Why would you say that? I think you could have just said you don't agree with my opinion.
I think you GOT what I was saying.

I have been willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Why would you do that? I'm just a man.
No man will give you all the answers. You need to make sure of all things for yourself.

It's the guys that claim to "know it all" that scare me.

Time clearly is slowing down. I read the last two pages of this thread, felt like 5 minutes but the clock told me it was only 1.

[Moneyguy1]

No one here has claimed to "know it all" and you are fully aware of that. ANother strawman type of argument, way off the topic and meant to (once again) obfuscate. I wash my hands of ever getting a cogent comment from you. Up until now, I have hoped something would come through that I could accept as rational thought. No more.

[trekkor]

capability to obfuscate a simple concept.

Now, now, Bob!

I have not refuted the speed of light details as observed on earth.

What are you saying, exactly?

Possibly that if I don't submit to the current theories presented to the public as absolute fact, I'm naugty?

Trek's failed to get traction with his JW rantings on the god thread, so he's hoping to reverse his fortunes here. Somehow, I doubt a breakthrough is imminent.

[trekkor]

Yes, that is true.
If you read/watch the news they sure come off that way. At least in my opinion.


I'm sorry my posts trouble you so, Bob.

I'm just "some guy", try not to get so worked up.

Make it 10 minutes, seems it's getting worse.

Personally I like the big bang -big crunch theory, seems quite neat and tidy in some respects, the other part I like about that is you could easily suppose that after the big crunch you would have another big bang and everything starts again and goes on ad infinitum.

The idea that you have a big bang then the universe just expands for ever until everything fizzles out is a tad depressing although to be fair I won't be there when it all goes dark so why should I care? I just do ok!

Damn this beer tastes good! Has anyone seen my watch?

We need a PPOT Theory of Everything.
