Hi Jill,
Great to see you no matter when you come by....and besides I've been contemplating a new theory by a young scientific theorist named Peter Lynd, who says that time doesn't exist on the level that scientists have described it for over 2500 yrs. Since objects in motion don't exist on a moment by moment sequential existence. Because the planets are continually moving you can't prove they exist in time,,,,anyway this will explain his theory in more detail and on one level it makes sense. We've been so conditioned to only explain things from one approach. I find this theory fascinating and those that are calling this guy a charlatan or phony are the ones who say he just doesn't understand science. These same naysayers are the same ones that now would support the theory of relativity, but if they had been around in 1905 when Einstein was talking about his "theory of relativity" I somehow think they wouldn't have thought much of his work then. No matter what science says at any one point in time...it's then learned that not all of the information was available when it was adopted & then something else is learned that sheds new light, & voila...a new theory! That's when you get antithesis out of a thesis and when synthesized...a brand new theory!!! Isn't that some great news? Things are in a constant state of flux. Nothing remains constant forever (that is except for taxes...lol...and also God's existence!)
All this to say "time is or is not as science thinks it to be!" Isn't that great to know! LOL...you are never late for my forums!
Take care and enjoy your non time!

New Theory of Time Rattles Halls of Science

A radical new theory of time and motion has some of the world's physicists doubting the claim while others laud the 27-year-old college dropout who came up with it, an unknown big thinker named Peter Lynds.
Lynds says he's no Einstein. In fact, he is not a fully trained theorist. He has no real academic credentials. But he does appear to have a new career, now that one other theorist compared his work to the groundbreaking ideas of Albert Einstein.
In a paper published in the August issue of Foundations of Physics Letters, Lynds claims to see time and motion with unprecedented theoretical clarity.
Lynds refutes an assumption dating back 2,500 years, that time can be thought of in physical, definable quantities. In essence, scientists have long assumed that motion can be considered in frozen moments, or instants, even as time flows on.
In an e-mail interview from New Zealand, Lynds told SPACE.com how he sees the physical world:
"There isn't a precise instant underlying an object's motion," he said. "And as its position is constantly changing over time -- and as such, never determined -- it also doesn't have a determined position at any time."
Nor does time flow, Lynds says. More on that later.
Importantly, Lynds claims his theory solves Zeno's paradoxes, which have frustrated creative brains for millennia......READ MORE By Going To The Following website:

Seriously, this is very interesting & a bright idea!
