Is Time An IIlusion?

Insane Curiosity



Insane Curiosity

Time is probably the most controversial topic to discuss about. Hundreds of philosophers and scientists have tried to define it in very different ways, and each one of us could probably have his own view about it.
Time doesn’t seem to flow regularly: Have you ever waited for the end of a boring lesson which seemed to never come to an end? Or have you ever spent an entire day with your girlfriend thinking that only a few hours have passed?
Is time just an illusion? Is it the same for everyone? Are there some scientific proves of his existence? Do you want to know the answer? Stick with me and I’ll tell you everything in a moment.

Before trying to answer all these questions, let’s think about this: what is time? Time is just a way of describing how an object changes compared to another one. Let me give you a pair of examples. What is a day? It’s just a method to say that the earth has completed a rotation around its axis. What is a year? It’s a common way of telling that earth has done a complete revolution around the Sun. This definition of time leads to some tricky and astonishing conclusions, as an example on Venus a day lasts longer than a year.
Time has been a crucial element in the description of nature, and it has always been described as something immutable. As a matter of fact Newton, one of the most brilliant scientists ever, talked about absolute space and absolute time. These assumptions were useful to create his theory of gravitation, which explains how planets orbit around the Sun and why everything falls to ground on earth.
When do we use time in Physics? Always! One of the most common quantities in science is velocity, which describes how a position of something changes in time. A lot of other quantities such as the energy of a moving object are linked to velocity.
Therefore what we consider as a true scientific assumption, sometimes turns to be just a small approximation of a much larger theory. Is it true that time is non-variable and universal? Do we share the same “time”?
All scientists at the end of nineteenth century would have given a positive answer to this question, but they didn’t know that a young deustch man, studying in Zurich was going to prove them wrong, unraveling one of the most shocking discoveries in human history. Do you want to know its name? Albert Einstein.
In 1905, the so called “annus mirabilis”, he came out with four research papers containing the famous theory of “Special Relativity” and other studies on different subjects, particularly one regarding the photoelectric effect lead him to a Nobel prize in 1921.
What is this theory about?
Let’s start from the main principle that Isaac Newton and Galileo Galilei used to describe the world in a scientific way: the principle of relativity.
Have you ever heard something about it? If not, don’t worry, it’ very simple. It states that laws of physics must remain the same in systems which differ from a constant velocity. As an example, if we carry two identical experiments, one in a laboratory, and one moving at a fixed velocity on a bus, they must lead to the same results and the form of physics laws is exactly the same in both the systems.
This is the reason why when you are on a train in a station and you look from the window you can’t tell if you’re moving, or you’re standing still while other trains are moving.
By starting with such a common principle, Newton and Galilei elaborated a way of composing velocities of two different systems. If a car moves at 40 mi/h and a bus goes in the same direction at 60 mi/h, the driver of the car has the perception of being stationary and seeing a bus mowing at 20 mi/h. On the other side if two cars crash against each other at 30 mi/h, the impact will be the same of a single car hitting on a standing wall with a velocity of 60mi/h.
Is this true for everything?

  1. I have very often thought of “eternal life” as I am a Person of faith. It is not that I wish to take apart anyone’s faith. Not at all. Or even be critical of anyone who doesn’t believe anything at all. Long ago, before the informational storm of the internet, I would often contemplate what in the world I understood about as to this question of faith. I am an out of the box thinker, so I am just built that way. This is where I would always end up with the eternity of “eternal”, even though my faith takes me beyond the world of science or anything that can be measured. So “eternal life”. Hmmm Ok. All of my relationships continue, my loved ones continue, and we do all kinds of things way beyond all understanding. There is beauty beyond what our eyes have never experienced. We travel all over the vast universe and see and or even assist in the creation of life elsewhere. (Yes, and this was before ancient aliens! Ha!) In the end of this daydream I would find myself not so pleased in the end of the matter? I thought, and I know, that my God does not live within linear time? So let’s just say that, over there, I would live on and on and on and at one point I I would decide to take a nap? Huh? A nap? Relative to what? Someone else is living outside time with me, along side me? So what do I do? Ask them to wake me up in say…..A billion billion years? Lol! Since the is no time, do I really sleep? Or did I just shut down 40 or 50 dimensions? How long is dinner? How large is my castle? I speak 4 languages, as well as Latin, but does it matter? Can’t I learn anything in a split second, as if I studied and got a PhD that way? How much knowledge will I have? Do I need it any more? Will I just “know” by thinking? Am I now telepathic? Do I got to the toilet , so to speak? Eternal life would mean eternal existence. Knowing all, as is “ I am that I am”. However, now, to me, it means that I am already there, as I am here, right here. I am that I am “here”. It got that the point across, I think? However, doesn’t that mean that I also will say that? What a great way to answer that question! Ha! Not willing to just drop it and walk away from my argument with myself, I would take it back to my knowledge of scriptures, and the simplicity in which Jesus had to do his best to try and explain things to us and why he was here, as a visitor, during the “time” that he was? Being eternal already answers a question as to him being here, as people say, though not really understanding. He was also “I am that I am” No linear time limIts. Then, to really blow people away, and most Christians do not even get this? He said this many times. “The kingdom of heaven is in YOU”. So it’s a now thing again! This is not anything that science, nor religion, nor atheist can answer, and this brings me back to the “Illusion of time”. If time stops at one point in a black hole, and then there is no relativity, then why desire to live forever? It seems like somewhere I would not want to be? What difference would it make to THIS beautiful life I am I’m NOW? So you see I have a dilemma that will never be answered, no matter what we believe or science thinks they have found in this hilarious “God particle” or the Big Bang, the end of the edge of the universe, or believing we will finally arrive at the smallest partial? In linear time, I have a feeling there is already the existence of eternal time, but we will never see it or find it either which way we go. Neither with splitting an atom, or anything below it, nor when we think we have arrived at what we thought would be the end of the universe? I mean, it would be exciting if it happens! In a very scary way though. Will we quite then and just live, take care of the earth and everything on it, all species. Will we then find a way to stop the destruction of all, and learn to live in peace with each other? Maybe our extreme search for knowledge will at least lead to a way to do this, as well as to care for ourselves? At 69, I am sure I will not see that day, but I would love to. Any video you make would seem really offensive to most, I think, but not myself, because these things just don’t scare me, and I watch my body breaking down month by month. However, I wish that video could be made by someone, anyone? With some thought, this could be done, without being blasphemous against all of this ridiculous notions. How to relate time and space to a God, gods, or faith? Wow! Try that one! If you’re a pure scientist, I don’t think you would try? If you did, it would have to be called “We’re Are Trying or Best” Lol! We will get back to you in a 100 billion years. Honestly, I am not mocking anyone, nor science. I am loving your stuff. It’s educational and satisfying! I just think the illusion of time exists already because the illusion is not an illusion at all? Eternity already exists. So there is no time! That’s my 2 bits.

  3. An overall OK video. There is some points that are not accurate. For one the photoelectric effect has nothing to do with relativity. Please stop deleting my comments.

  4. Oh good grief. This video starts off describing time as the Earth rotating once on its axis, or travelling once around the Sun. That is NOT time. That is the measurement of time. Just as measuring distance from one place to another is NOT describing space. Time is that which separates one "now" from the next "now" Explain what that is and you will have explained what time is.

  7. Time dilation is a REAL thing. Satellites are orbiting at enormous speeds relative to us. They are 100% experiencing less time than us on earth. We know this because their clocks need to be time compensated, by exactly the amount Einstein predicted, so that they can be in sync with us. Your GPS couldn't work without taking this into account. They're not up there experiencing less "abstract human construct." it's quantifiable, it's real. Here endeth the lesson.

  12. While time itself (the passage from one moment to the next) exists (radioactive decay being the proof), the meaning of the word time (as humans define it) is nothing more than a construct. Someone decided to break midday to the following midday into 24 chunks and divided those 24 chunks into 60 smaller chunks and again into 60 smaller chunks. (Days, hrs, mins and seconds)

  13. Next we'll discuss fractions, inches, feet, yards, miles, and the metric system asking the all important question, "Are these all conventions of man?"

    Perhaps atomic particles slow down as speed increases. If time stops at the edge of a black hole then movement must also stop too.

    186,000 miles per second.

  15. The speed of light is 300000 meter PER SECOND not kilometres per hour. The speed of light is one billion km/h. Some very stupid errors in here.

  19. Light travels at a set speed but relative to the observer. It does not travel at a set velocity all the time. A simple experiment can be done to check the validity of this.

    The Milky Way galaxy is traveling about 1.37 million miles per hour. The sun is traveling about 536,000 mi/h as it orbits the center of the Milky Way. The Earth orbits the sun at about 66,627 mi/h. The Earth also spins on it's axis at about 1,000 mi/h. Thus if light always traveled at the same speed, IE a laser being shined from Earth then you could shine two lasers in opposite directions there would be a noticeable difference in the speed of light because of all the motion of the Earth as it travels in space. If light always traveled at 186,000 mi/s without regards to motion then the speed of the laser light would increase and decrease depending upon which direction the laser was pointing. We could then use the speed of light to determine the motion of the Earth.

    But this does not seem to be the case. Light travels at a set velocity without regards to the motion occurring to the Earth in the universe. No matter what direction you point the laser the light always travels at the same speed. This indicates that light is traveling relative to the motion of the observer or measuring device. This is what causes the apparent shift in the wavelength of light when the distant source of the light is in motion. If light always traveled at the same speed without regards to motion then the wavelength of light would not shift coming from the distant objects that are in motion.

    IMHO I believe instead of time traveling relative to the observer it is light that is traveling relative to the observer. Problem solved.

  21. Time is most probably an illusion , or to put it another way : a mental construct of the human Mind . A sequence of changes , a sequence of events are physical realities and are fundamental , but not Time itself .

  22. Even tho there are some big mistakes in this video, I'll give it a thumb up, because the time is amasing subject. I bet you'll do your research next time a little better. 😉

  27. That's the definition of change… Nothing has to take place for time to still elapse. Time is subjective to the witness that bares it. It doesn't necessarily move slower in the absence of light it just loses its ability to be witnessed at light speed via light generating or bearing objects with the ability to project their placement in space in relationship to other objects do to gravitational absorption

  34. 2 x cars traveling at 30 and 30 have a head on collision. The result is NOT the same a 1 car hitting a wall at 60.
    The result is the same as 1 car hitting a wall at 30.
    This is grade school physics. The content of these videos is not very accurate. In fact its downright dangerous.
    You cant be that wrong on something so simple.

    The weight of the 2 cars cancel each other out, resulting in a collision equal to 1 car hitting a stationary wall at 30.
