Seems like an argumentum ad populum. If we lived near a black hole, our seconds could be 10^6 times longer than they are now. What would most people think then? Since that would change the defined conditions for the unit of time, the number would probably change. But, since we couldn't live that close to a black hole, the point is moot. Most of the points in theorectical physics are moot. |
