Hello Everyone.
There's a thread going on here now about time but I didn't want to interrupt their conversation as my questions are a little bit different...and the fact I have questions and not really anything to add.
Just some questions about time some answerable, others maybe not so much First of all this is my favorite thing to think/talk about in the whole world. But all I ever do is talk about it with my friends and none of them are physicists or philosophers so I don't get the feed back that is going to help me. With time there are so many questions to ask it's hard to know which on to ask first. I find when describing one answer to a question another question pops up. When talking about time it’s hard to stay on one sub-topic without deviating to another. But I guess that’s the fun in talking about time (also the crazy feeling you feel after giving some thought to it). Here it goes...
1. What happens (or is speculated to happen) with time at the speed of light?
ie: Would time stop? Could we perceive anything? Would the fact we are going that fast prevent any light from getting to our eyes to perceive it?
2. If you go at the speed of light you would be covering distance as in km; as well as traveling a greater distance in time. Is distance traveled connected to time in some way?
Actually:
I'm Confused between the speed of objects and the speed of time. When you say go fast, is this fast in the sense of 23,425,883km\hr, or traveling through time at some fast rate. We can say 10km/hr shouldn't we be able to say we go through time at 1hr/something? Like the distance of time so to speak. Not how much distance in km you cover in 1hr but how much "Time Distance" you cover /1hr. So is distance covered in kms equal to distance covered in "Time distance"?
Sometimes it feels like I’m going through life so fast I’ll die earlier older. Like, I’m aging in proportionally to the allotted time that has gone by. And I’m not just talking about the bio-degradation of everyday life (like too much sun gives wrinkles) it feels as though I’m literally jumping frame to frame in life. I attribute this to always wanting time to go faster at work. I spend so much time thinking “I wish time was sped up” that I think it’s actually happening. Days, weeks go by and I come out of my little time warp I aged but it didn’t take that long. Like my physical body is now older in the sense its material has gotten more degraded, but it seems like I didn’t travel that far in the “Distance of Time”………arg…….You know what? I’m sure some of you’ve felt the same way, I can’t really explain it that well. But something to think about I guess.
