What is the speed of life-Itself?

[labelwench]

I wouldlike to set of this thread with the question,what is the speed of Life;
we hear so much talk about the speed of light etc,what about life,what is its
velocity,is it faster than a speeding bullet?Would be grateful for any input/.

kindest regards michael.

Life being all present and correct has no need of speed,for does not speed imply that there is somewhere to go?

Perhaps "Time" is the speed of life, there being, as yet, no consensus on the definition of 'Time."

Regards,

Thanks LW ... I didn't know this thread existed.

OK then, this image illustrates my definition of the ''speed of life''



It is a vibration: ....... moving, but going nowhere NOW_HERE...

btw, interesting thread Michael as always.

the speed of life is zero.more or less,it matters not,a big fish calls over to two
smaller fish swimming by and ask them,where can I find the ocean,I have been
looking for it all my life,and its whereabouts escape me!!!

Well we are in much the same position,we are totally surrounded by life,and we know it not,we are
not life,we are just expressions of it,we eminate from it,but we are not IT.
life is a dark flame and the speed of that fire is zero,to the point of singularity?
kind regards michael.

There is no water outside of the ocean.

To search outside ourself for truth is like a fish in a lake looking for water.

The singularity has not moved an inch.

IT is herenow.

The fish doesn't see the sea in which it swims, but we can.

I see the sea of consciousness and that I am of it and in it.

The fish doesn't see the sea in which it swims, but we can.

The fish doesn't see the sea- IT is the sea- The SEEN.

I see the sea of consciousness and that I am of it and in it.

All there is is SEE-IN ----CONSCIOUS AWARENESS

Good thoughts LW..thanks.


I like this idea... 'Time' is the 'speed of life'

As time cannot be defined ..it is the definer.


Time appearing in the Timeless... a divine paradox indeed.

Thanks Melanie,life at last to this old thread of mine!

All there is-is conscious awareness....The Seen..(scene-surround)

The surround is consciousness.

There is no 'I' that sees ...there is only the seen - seen by no eye.

neti neti - not this not that- nothing being everything.

--equals zero.

life at last to this old thread of mine!

It only takes a little spark -le for it to appear!

[Still Life] .....A divine paradox.

An interesting article on circadian rhythms, seemingly one avenue to investigate the speed of life itself, perhaps....LW

TOKYO, Sept. 1 (UPI) -- Japanese and U.S. scientists say they've identified an enzyme that can be inhibited to extend the circadian 24-hour metabolic cycle to more than 48 hours.

The scientists said the circadian clock has long been known to play a central role in regulating the daily activities of living organisms. But its detailed biochemical mechanisms have largely remained unidentified.

Researchers at the Riken Center for Developmental Biology in Tokyo, led by Hiroki Ueda and Northwestern University Professor Joseph Takahashi, analyzed 1,260 pharmacologically active compounds in mouse and human clock cell lines. They identified 10 that exerted the greatest impact on the clock cycle.

The scientists said they were surprised to find all but one targets a single enzyme -- casein kinase -- the inhibition of which, researchers showed, dramatically extends the circadian cycle from 24 hours to more than 48 hours.

The researchers, who said that finding overturns conventional thinking on the topic, also discovered the inhibition process is insensitive to changes of as much as 10 degrees Celsius, further hinting at how circadian clocks maintain constant periodicity over a broad range of temperatures.

The scientists said their findings suggest the need to revise models of the mammalian circadian clock.

The study is reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
