If time stops at speed of light.... what does that even mean? How does light even....move?
>>
>>17002803
From the light's perspective, all the points on it's path are the same point.
It doesn't move, so it needs no time to do it.

darkness is the only evidence that anything exists.

what do you mean "it doesnt move"?

The photon is present in its entire range space until observed

Stop using the bullshit time definition of relativity. Light moves with c through the aether. Objects with mass move slower. But they experience a lorentz contraction of all their processes that depends on their speed in the aether. So if they close in in c the lorentz contraction is so big that everything happening on that object is nearly freezing. To define that as time is retarded but that's the foundation of relativity.
>>
>>17002803
It's worse than that. Photons (and any massless thing that carries energy) must move at c.

Spacetime is a massless thing, and it carried energy, we call it zero-point energy, and it doesn't move at c.

So spacetime itself violates lorentzian mechanics and relativity, and they need word salad to deflect from this glaring hole in their framework

Yeah we should just finally call it aether again, everything else makes zero sense.

Light isn't the fastest thing in the universe. Darkness and stupidity are. Wherever light goes, both darkness and dumbness got there first.

Darkness isnt a thing. It doesnt exist. Its just the absence of light.
>>
>>17003736
No, you just can't see it from your perspective. Stupidity is occluding your view, the foreskin of idiocy is covering your vision. You must circumcise your mind, which, once shorn of unnecessary flaps of occluding mental shortcuts, will allow you to see the bleeding wound in reality.

You are so confident in aether theory, I am excited to read your published paper! Can you post it and enlighten us?
>>
>>17003155
The whole universe is just a single electron bouncing back and forth in time and pretending to be every electron in the universe until observed.
Also, particles are spinning, but they’re not spinning. They just uhh, have a spin number that’s suspiciously like angular momentum but it’s not. It’s spin number
Physics fags know none of this shit really makes sense so don’t feel bad if you don’t get it, you probably do get it on some level. it makes no sense.

Light stands still and the universe moves around it.
>>
>>17002803
What if light and dark is the original 1D being, the sun is 99% of the observable universe, it's everything we know, space looks dark because they always go in earths shadow, space is really bright, not dark.
>>
>>17002803
It doesn't move. And considering that any massless particle is the same way, and all matter is ultimately comprised of the bounded interactions of massless particles, nothing actually moves when you get down to the fundamentals of it.
From the "perspective" of c, the universe is a single point with no dimensionality. That point DOES, however, contain the record of all interactions within and between all particles in the entire history of the universe. This record is sequential but occupies no time. Its structure reflects the causal structure of the universe but occupies no space. Think of a deck of cards squashed infinitely flat—it has no thickness and neither do any of the cards within it, but the cards are still in order. Now think of that deck of cards being 3D or 4D or really any arbitrary number of dimensions depending on your physical model, and you have the universe.
>>
>>17002803
Time doesn't stop, relativity breaks down, as it takes infinite energy for a single blink rate of the Universe to progress. Matter and space break down as the data singularity is compressed into an alternate dimension.
>>
>>17002803
you're an observer moving at the speed of light. there is nothing for you to observe because, by the time information would have reached you to observe it, you are long gone.
without any observable information, you cannot discern if you are moving.
>>
>>17003949
You're presupposing something with mass can move at the speed of light with finite energy, it can't.

>>17002805
Light definitely does move. If it doesn't move then why does it take time to travel? Because causality is what is traveling? Our only measure for that is light, so we might as well call it the speed of light.
>>
>>17003917
It doesn't need to move. The universe is a singularity, viewed from the inside. Both time and space are an illusion of perspective.
>>
>>17003949
>by the time information would have reached you to observe it, you are long gone.
>without any observable information,
That's only valid in one direction.

Light and gravity. Gravity moves at "lightspeed"

>>17003987
Yes thank you for saying the same thing again

>>17003838
Give me 4 more weeks actually please.

It has to reach the speed of light first. Then it stops. If you want to be a quantum physicist just say shit like this to nerds doing lesser science subjects and if you say enough things, and one hits in the future, you'll be immortalised. Someone from Cern could probably answer this one though.
>>
light is the speed of information. time doesn't "stop" so much as you move at the speed of the universe's tick rate

this analogy actually kind of explains relativistic time dilation, too. the closer you are to the universe's tick rate, the slower it gets relative to you

But would you really read it if its consistent? Or are you just baiting?
