The movement of light, mainly since it is so stable (however, light may
not move at the same speed in all corners of the universe--and under all
conditions) can be used to provide the human mind with the belief in the
myth of time...
Time to us is the rotation of the earth, measured in 1/24 units of a
full revolution, and fractions thereof.
Also, wwv and wwvh use atomic clocks, they count how many atomic
particles are lost in decay of radioactive elements to provide the myth
of time...
.... hourglasses use the rate of sand falling through a narrow opening...
.... clocks count the spinning of a gear or the frequency of a quartz
vibration...
.... time is movement/change... you cannot hold time in a bottle--you
CANNOT measure time--you only measure movement...
.... formulas which use time in them are just incomplete at the present
time, eventually a more accurate formula will be developed in many of
these cases...
.... those formulas which incorporate the movement of light might be
correct... that movement is real at least... (well, I think it is real
grin)
Warmest regards,

OK - I stand corrected again.
So movement IS real, but time is not real. Speed depends on movement
over a
distance in a measured time - so the 'speed of light' does not exist.
But it MUST exist - Einstein squared it.

Hal:
You got me wrong, while the false perception of time IS encouraged by
"speed" (movement actually)... the reverse is NOT proof of time--I do
accept the fact that movement is real... movement is NOT dependent
on
time... the "religious belief" in time is dependent on the
mis-interpretation of movement...
Warmest regards,

But on previous threads, I thought you said that speed was not a
valid
unit
for measure because speed depends on time, which depends on the
spin
of the
earth on its axis.

I pictured this, I am in a spacecraft doing the speed of light, I
key
the xmitter and begin a long winded rant, the antenna is monopole.
Now the signal leaving the rear of the antenna appears to be
leaving
it
at 2X the speed of light (allowing for the VF of space-ether),
however,
the signal off the very front, at least the width of the antenna
conductor itself, cannot leave (since I am traveling at the speed
of
light the signal appears to just stay on the surface of the
conductor)--what will happen?
Warmest regards,
John
