the present moment is real.

however much you may remember the past or anticipate the future, you live in the present.

the next second of your life is the future.

Time looks like it is real in either case since it marks things off. So maybe we have to wonder if our own consciousness is real.

Spacetime is very real and very much a thing. There are various thoughts around the arrow of time, that's it's tied to the expansion of spacetime, that's it's a measure of the increase of entropy in the universe and it will functionally cease to exists with universal entropy reaches 1, that it's related to the non-reversible nature of wave-function collapse or that there is an interelation between entropy and quantum decoherence that yet to be discovered.

No one knows, exactly. Still a mystery.

light has a speed, but also a permanent vector, it comes from the past no matter the direction.

If, as you claim below, it's not a thing, logically it's nothing. How does it have properties?

we send it , or its particles, in the zero-length moment, but it is always vectored into the future.

Again, it can't be an "it" if it's nothing.

Things move through the dimensions.

Time is not a thing.

Spacetime is is something.

about whether "c" is the speed of light. Perhaps this might help. The physical constant for light speed in a vacuum is nearly 300,000 km/sec. But in media in which it exhibits refractive properties ( bent), the velocity of light is reduced, if I remember correctly, factpred by the cosine of the angle of refraction. Maybe this has something to do with Viviane's argument?

Nope. The debate isn't about whether c is the speed of light. Of course it is.

But that's not what John Mann said.

What ever you may believe c is, it is definned by the scientific community as a constant in a vacum on this planet that is equal to 2.998x10^8 metres per second. Seconds are a measurement of time are they not ?

No.

If you can not accept this fact I suggest you write a new set of laws to explain the basics of physics and chemistry.

You can suggest it. Cutting and pasting formulas from wikipedia doesn't make time magically separate from space. You may as well just as incorrectly say that space appears on both sides of the equation.

There is time dimension as there are wideness and heightness.

3 dimensions of space (x,y,z) and 1 dimension of time (t).

You are mixing dimension about an object and conflating it with properties of the thing the object is in. It's like saying algae is a property of a fish.

Yes it is.

It is not, nor will it every be. You're only off by one word.

Viviane Post 1302 - If time is not a function of c, the velocity of light, how do you measure velocity without using time?

c is not the velocity of light.

E = m c^2 implies time, because velocity is the derivative of distance with respect to time.

It doesn't imply time. It utterly requires spacetime.

eah I think time is implied in E=mc^2.

Einstein did a very good job discovering that space=time and gravity=acceleration.

Spacetime. It's simple a ratio of the how much of one property of spacetime is happening. It would be just as valid (and incomplete) to say it implies space.

We feel gravity to the center of the planet because the acceleration in time dimension.

Since you mentioned Einstein, it's described as a curvature of spacetime. Equationally, it's the same as free-fall acceleration in realtion to non-intertional observers. There is no such thing as a "time" dimension. There is spacetime.

It is the body's movement THROUGH time that changes. perhaps you can deal with that model?

Through spacetime.

E is measured in distance in m, mass in kg and accelaration in m/s^2, giving m kg m/s^2 and this equals m mass in kg, times the speed of light squared in m^2/s^2. As you can see time in seconds appears as 1/s^2 on both sides of the equation. It is very time dependant and therefore a function of time.

Time does not appear a 1/s^2 on either side of the equation.

since time is a dimension that defines duration, it could be older than space and it's content,- matter.

Time and space are the same thing.

The present moment is real.

Everything you see is already the past.

Time is not a thing, material, but it is real, an entity, appearing twice in the famous equation E=m squared.

Time and space are the same thing. E=MC^2 doesn't have a function for time in it. That's simply explaining how much energy is in matter.

light, or messages we emit, radiate , reflect, -- we send into the future, to be seen by others as coming from their past. it is true, but how is it possible? because

we live in an expanding universe. the PAST time is like the empty interior of an expanding shell. we live only in that very thin expanding membrane that is the space of the universe in the ever moving 'NOW'.

No..... it's because photons (and, for that matter, any other massless particle) travels at a finite maximum speed.

Where Do Visions,Dreams and Prophecy Come From

if these things come true and many people have them whether believers or non beleivers, where do they come from.
Viviane

The reason is because part of us does not exist in time.

How? Which part? What are the implications of not existing in time? What does that even mean, exactly?
