Is it true dat wen u die time doesnt apply or stops completly?
Yelekiah
Time doesn't apply in dreams, or during drug usage. Do you equate that to death? In my opinion, time does not stop and it doesn't flow anyway.

I'd imagine that when you are 'dead', unless you believe in an afterlife, it is like being put under anesthetic for surgery. You have no awareness of time, or of even being alive and existant. It's not like you are just sitting there, unable to speak, or move, or see, in the darkness, for all eternity.

That's why death as the end of consciousness doesn't scare me. I mean, it's not like you'll notice that you're dead.
Yelekiah
Well, you wouldn't be aware of time because time is related to perception and the nervous system. And when you're dead, your nervous system should not be operating.

When you die I think time is something that happens on Earth But in Heaven you never age or anything. So maybe time is still there but it doesn't effect us any. It is possible that time exists post -mortum but we won't know that until we die.

The answer to this question will be based largely on your spiritual view of life after death (or the non-existence thereof). Personally, I believe that when my body dies, my spirit will live on in another realm, a spirit realm (for the sake of argument I'll call it heaven). In this realm, time is a non-issue. It is irrelevant, it may as well not exist. As spirit entities, we would live outside of time.

It's hard to explain further, because I honestly don't know. This is just my opinion based on my view of who God is, and what happens when we die.

"Time is a continuous passage of existence in which events pass from a state of potentiality in the future, through the present, to a state of finality in the past"

When you die there is no past, present or future, so therefore time would not exist.

If there is no past when you die, then where has our time on earth gone? The universe would be missing time if our past ceased to exist, or not somehow accounted for in the new equations. Since our life is the past of our death, then as far as we are concerned, ther's definately a past in death. hmm.gif
Yelekiah
Time wouldn't really stop, it just stops to your perception.
Quantem Singularity
How are we even argueing about this? In every case of death and becoming alive again they said that they saw colors, faces of loved ones. true time may be distorted, time passes more slowly when you are traveling fast, but it wouldn't stop.

I contradicted myself.
Yelekiah
Time actually doesn't pass. We do.
Time doesn't flow, so if it's not moving to begin with, how can it "stop"? Right, it can't.
Quantem Singularity
Yes that why travaling faster then the speed of light would allow you to time travel.
Yelekiah
I just had an epiphany, so bear with me. Sound, under certain circumstances, has recently been discovered to travel faster than the speed of light. Therefore, radio waves is one way to travel in time.
Quantem Singularity
If they are bent over and over again they will(with powerful lasers).

So all we need to do is find a way to attach atoms.

First step is to create a quantum computer, and attach the atoms. It will take a loooong time. However, if we create a time machine, that wouldn't matter.
Quantem Singularity
But we will only be able to trans port non living things. other wise, much like what happens in a black hole, you become a string of atoms no.gif thanks.

we would have to send a radio wave with a wave the size of a planet to create a possible "organic" time shift.

but we would be able to camunicate to the past and or furture that had another of these machines to decode the waves.
Quantem Singularity
and antoher thing we would need another machine to unscramble the waves, which explains why we have had no contact.
Yelekiah
Not necessarily. We have particles within us. Quantum particles can travel in time, so it's feasible.
It will likely fail the first 2 million times, but eventually, I think we'll get the hang of it.
Quantem Singularity
We'll we better start breading lab monkies. grin2.gif
Yelekiah
We can start by cloning this guy.

Erm, never mind.
no.gif
Quantem Singularity
Ya why waste perfectly good cloneing material on him, clone some "apealing" people and have a party.
Yelekiah
Hmmm...good point. Never thought of that.
Quantem Singularity
ok we went from does time stop after death to having "***y parties" w00t.gif we need to get back on subject.
Yelekiah
For shizzle. But back to the topic, I don't think time stops. But I already said that.
Quantem Singularity
you can't stop time, but you could make yourself move faster to make time appear to move slower.

which again state that moving faster makes time around you move slower
Yelekiah
But time will always be perception no matter what. When you have fun, it goes faster (to your perception). Time has no meaning in dreams, etc. It isn't actually time being altered. Time is a constant. It cannot change anyway. It is our brains and nervous systems that make us think it does.
Quantem Singularity
yes, most of the thing that you do when you have fun are of no importance, so you froget them, therefore making it appear that time has gone faster. but when you are miserable you brain remembers most of it to make sure it never happens again rolleyes.gif.
Yelekiah
To a certain extent, yes. But we must always rememeber that time is invariant. This alone is what makes time travel tricky.
But as for death, time still does not change.
Quantem Singularity
Yes, i do agree with that.

Checkmate!
Quantem Singularity
Actully shortly after you die the nervus system trie to send signals to get you alive again such as after a heart attack. This miniture difribulator doesn't always work but shows that the nervus system still can work after death. (rook to E5 take Queen).
