time theory

April 25th, 2003

have you ever wondered about the link between time measurement and old-school non-decimal spherical mapping? That is, longitude, latitude, minutes, hours, etc?

is time a curve that can be “measured” like a curved “plane” (sphere)?

another thing to think about - orbital objects can be tracked by (and are, in some “schools” of thought) longitude, latitude, angle of “descent”, and distance from sea level. not bad - a center-point, extrapolated out to the surface of the earth (at least, its mean), then from that base, you can plot a location in space (at this given time), using only 5 given bits of information - breaking someone’s law.. that is, needing 6 points to plot a 3 dimensional location, relationally.

einstein said relativity applied to everything - everything.. a basis for quantum theory is that by measuring something, you’re affecting the outcome.. measuring anything affects it, relatively speaking.

my brain hurts, but I’ll go on.. I think einstein was trying to say you can’t get away from relativity; I don’t think he was trying to apply it to anything, just giving examples… think about that for a second - if relativity was more a definition of reality as a whole, doesn’t it make more sense?

by measuring the “atomic halves” that result from a split atom, you’re creating the readings, by relating them to YOUR current state.. then when you change it, you expect it to “relate” to the other particle, and you measure it, so it does.

who lost me, and who had an interesting thought after reading that?

First question, read _Longitude_ for a better answer. Because we use the angle of the sun, measuring time.

3rd question, when using the angle of descent, we use our location “0″ as the 6th point.

For simple relativity and non simple, read QED by Feynman

1) I’ve been looking for it for a few months now..

3) oops.. I feel silly, but the way I see it, is if you know all of those, you can figure out the answer by pluggin in one of those “imaginary numbers” :)

quantum theory tells us we should look at the short-cuts, they hold the answer.. :)
