    Have you ever gotten into a 1 on 1 conversation with someone mega interesting, who's at the top of their game, and they're telling you something you find fascinating but above your pay grade? And all the while you're thinking 'you lost me 30 seconds in but I'm just going to nod my way through this and ask no questions'....

      You're experiencing time. If you left the earth you're still moving forward in time between events. The length of the path is irrelevant. However, I believe we exist in a relationship with all of space time past and future all at once. Have you looked at the stars...on weed ? Yeah man..yeah

      ​@bluntedvegas702 You're technically right. Light, which is how we perceive time, bounces and reflects. So, any point in space is a soup/stew of light from different angles and times coming together.
      A light going at one angle hits a planet and bounces off to another angle. We only see the current angle it's traveling at. Meanwhile it's been traveling for millions of years and bouncing in different trajectories the whole time.
      Light/time could even be split, like through a prism, creating multiple instances of the same time going multiple directions.
      This would create paradoxes where things seem to be in two places at the same time. Making the universe seem connected at every point in time.

    So is it possible Han Solo really could make the Kessel Run (spelling??) shorter? A parsec is a measure of distance, not time, but he made it shorter. Maybe this explains it. Then again I dont know if hyperspace and the speed of light are the same so maybe its still not possible.

      Put yourself in the mind of a photon of light that has been travelling for billions of years to reach the Hubble. To the photon of light from the time the photon was created to the time it was detected was instantaneous. That is a mind bender for me.

    • @DrSpoculus
      @DrSpoculus 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      TL:DR Math doesn't require something to multiply, but grammar does. It's a translation error when translating the language of numbers into the language of words.
      Terrence isn't a nit-wit. He's just self-taught and is missing what comes with learning in a group.
      He also brought up a great point about the 1x1=2 stuff. It's a grammatical riddle. In grammar, to multiply you require something to multiply.
      Numbers are numbers, and words have meanings. The numbers guys use the wrong word to describe the multiply function, so when translating numbers into words you get mistranslation.
      Two examples. "When you get a gremlin wet IT multiplies" and "take that 7 and multiply IT 3 times"
      Grammar requires an "IT" to multiply. You have to start with a value greater than 0.
      This doesn't change how math or numbers work, it's just shows that the math people chose the wrong word to describe the multiply function.
      Multiply is just shorthand for repeating addition. It's just adding a number. There isn't really any multiplying going on. 8x3 = 8+8+8. Same thing.
      Edit: we have two words for the same function. Times and multiply. "Times" works perfectly to describe the math function. "Multiply" does not describe the multiply function and how it works in math.

    It’s worth mentioning that when you try to accelerate an object with mass, even if it’s one subatomic particle, the faster you go the more energy it takes, to achieve light speed requires an infinite amount of energy. Therefore, pushing any object with mass to light speed is impossible.

    • @6DunJuan9
      @6DunJuan9 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Mathematically it seems impossible, but I disagree. Technically nothing would move, ever. That sunlight travelling at the speed of light, would not reach us..mathematically..but here we are.
      Newtons law works on earth, low earth orbit Einsteins theory takes over, and special theory is just a theory not a fact.
