Space-Time: Penguin Dictionary of Science - 07-03-2007, 12:20 AM

"Space-Time:

The development of the theory of relativity has led to the disappearance of a clear-cut distinction between a three dimensional space and an independent time; in the modern view space and time are considered as being welded together in a four dimensional space-time continuum."
_________________________

Webster's New 20th Century Dictionary:

"Space-Time. The four dimensional continuum involving the three dimensions of space and that of time, in which all things exist."

(George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words.

"All things come out of the one and the one out of all things." - Heraclitus
"Reality is an illusion - albeit a persistent one." - Einstein
"Particles give me a headache." - Ibid

MJA'S NEW 21st CENTURY DICTIONARY:

"SPACE. What unites all things, and make all one, TOE.."

"Time. A man made measuring tool of no absolute certainty.
The same as weight, distance, judgement, or perception.
Time is measured in seconds, minutes, months, years, etc.."

Thanks,
MJA


The truth of everything is less than one inch,
it is only equal and the lion is one.
One is free when the door is opened,
education has the key.

Space -time is like anytime both are illusions,TIME;
There
IS
Mirages
Everywhere=Time.

Within a relative perceptive framework,time/space/time/"seem" to exist,but the operative
word here is "SEEM"in reality there is no such thing!

Humilty,coupled with boldness,surprises truth to

agreed but

education is important but the freedom of imagination , freedom of thought , is also important.

otherwise you have what we have now . a scientific mainstream body based on technicians. NOT ON ADVANCING SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT. because they simply are not able to grasp what it is you are saying. they are defensive rather than seeing objectively what you are suggesting. politics and funding dictate thought , theories.
