What illuminates a realm were time does not exist.?

In order to have space one must have time. In fact, I consider time to be the root dimension. Without time in which to percieve the universe, I cannot see how there could be a universe. Time and space are inextricably linked.

That we've found so far, anyway. The Michael Crichton book Timeline (not the movie, dear God not the movie) talks about light particle/waves as indicative of the existence of parallel universes. It's very interesting. Not only do they exhibit particle/wave behavior but no one can observe a photon where it is, only where it was. And sometimes it seems to have disappeared entirely only to reappear in a different place. Makes me wish I was smart enough to full grasp quantum physics.

Time is relative.  It doesn't really exist.  Time is effected by the speed of motion, and is not an object.

I hope you are not implying from your question this wrong thinking:"if you don't understand something, then it must not exist". If that is so, then I probably do not have brains because I don't know why I am able to think. Too, I haven't seen my brain.\n\nBut, if your question is an innocently honest one, then here are my humble answers in the form of questions for you to think about:\n(a) can you tell me the beginning and the end of a circle?\n(b) can you tell me the beginning and the end of the universe?\n(c) can you tell me the beginning and the end of time?\n\nAccording to the Bible, God's creations reflect His glory. So, if you can not answer any of the above, then it is also too hard for us to answer your question. Did you get the point?\n\nBest regards,

The Aether does not exist. It is a very long dead notion.

Time "IN A SENSE" does not exist and is an illusion. \nFor example: Suppose there are two syncronized clocks on two  infinately seperated walls (one behind you and one in front of you) and the clocks are illuminated at exactly 2pm by light from your flashlight that shoots to the front and the back at the same time. And lets pretend that you are in a spaceship ---with that flashlight --accelerating (speeding up trying to reach light speed) away from one clock towards the other.just as you receive the reflection of light (showing 2 pm) within your eye from the clock behind you. And lets pretend that you reach light speed the instant the light from the clock reaches your eye. At the instant you reach light speed then any light from your flash light reflected from the clock cannot reach you because both you and the light are moving in the same direction away from the clock at the same speed. At that instant, time relative to that clock would no longer exist for you in your frame of referance. Because the only image of time that you have processed in your mind is the image of the clock at 2pm. \nIf you instantly slow down below light speed by a fraction of the speed of light, then, the light from your flashlight that is in transit behind you will begin to catch you again. Depending on the speed that you are moving time will again appear to move on the clock. But each instant of time will be defined by the speed you are moving relative to the speed of the light reflected from the clock. Your flashlight is also important in that light leaving the flashlight must first travel back to the clock and then be reflected back to the spaceship where you will see it. Therefore you will see not only time changes due to the speed you are moving, you will also see funny changes in time from the fact that your flashligh is moving with you.\nAt the same instant you are moving away from one clock you will be moving towards the other clock. The time you experience relative to this other clock will be compressed in relation to the fraction of the speed of light you are moving.\nFor these reasons, time can be said to be an illusion. However, one must keep in mind that by theory, no human or any solid matter can move at the speed of light. \nAnd it must be admitted that though time is an illusion, it is an actual unchanging property of reality.

The time machine wouldn't have been effected either way. It stays on it's own plane of existance, that's why, if you'd go back in time, no one but the person who created it would see it.

I answered another similar question today with this:\n\nTime is a property of this universe only - this is not only a belief of Christian cosmology, it is also the standard belief of modern scientific cosmology, the way Stephen Hawking modeled it in "A Brief History of Time." Time is quite specific to our universe. Time has no meaning or applicability outside of the universe.\n\nSince God, from "outside" or "above" our universe, is a non-temporal being - totally outside time and all its concepts - temporal concepts such as "beginning", "created" or "origins" are utterly inapplicable. They quite literally have no meaning where God is concerned. God's today is also his yesterday, which is also his tomorrow. He does not originate because origination only means something in the context of time. It may be difficult for beings such as ourselves to understand existing outside of time, because we are stuck in it. But the limits of our imagination are a problem for our comprehension, and not a problem for God's existence.\n\nAs St. Augustine said:\n\n'Nor do you precede any given period of time by another period of time, or you would not precede all periods of time. In the eminence of your ever-present eternity, you precede all times past, and extend beyond all future times, for they are still to come--and when they have come, they will be past. But "you are always the same and your years shall have no end." Your years neither go nor come; but ours both go and come in order that all separate moments may come to pass. All your years stand together as one, since they are abiding. Nor do your years past exclude the years to come because your years do not pass away. All these years of ours shall be with you, when all of them have ceased to be. Your years are but a day, and your day is not recurrent, but always today. Your "today" does not yield to tomorrow and does not follow yesterday. Your "today" is eternity. '

Can there be any doubts? Aliens, of course. I want to know if Erich von Daniken is right when he says alien visitations have occurred in the ancient past.

Yes, it is the same time here as there.  Time is an artificial construct; an illusion that we use to mark the progression of our stay on this planet.  Time doesn't truly exist, we exist and we use the various methods of measuring time (clocks, watches, egg timers, etc.) to keep track of how long we are in existence.

The possibility is there,though we will never know the truth.It has been lost centuries ago.

Nothingness.\n\nOr maybe it's encroaching on another Universe?  Hmmmm......

Time rejects the idea of multiple possibilities, and possibilities reject the idea of time. Is this disjunct resolved by a homogenous continuum, or a curved one? Same question, maybe providing of insight?

i guess u are asking about extra terrestials.\ni donot belive they exist.

Time is simply a measurement. That's it. Nothing more-a measurement. Even in other galaxies events happen. There is a sequence to events. Time is how we keep track of what happened first. Time is not a stream of light. I believe they call that "light", or gammas, or whatever else you wish. This is a subject that has confused many a great mind by overcomplication.

I'm not sure.  While I can't tell you whether or not there is anything outside the 'shoebox' or not that is somehow responsible for the existence of the shoebox, I can use scientific knowledge and the process of reason to determine that some concepts make no sense.\n\nFor example, since time is part of the universe, then the term "before the universe" has no meaning, as it implies the existence of time and the nonexistence of time simultaneously.\n\nLikewise, the expression "created the universe" suffers the same problem, because it implies there was a time when the universe did not exist, which is the same as saying there was a time when time did not exist.\n\nThat said, there is evidence that there is more to reality than what is immediately obvious to us.  Photons seem to "know" when a path is blocked and will "choose" a different path.  David Deutsch has developed a simple laser experiment that proves the known universe is receiveing deterministic external interference of some kind.\n\nBut back to your basic question.  People who use reason to arrive at a conclusion hold the conclusion tentatively - it may change if new evidence is discovered that contradicts it.  But faith doesn't work the same way.  Once a position is taken based on faith, it will remain in spite of new evidence - hence the existence of young earth creationists.

If we count sundials, we are talking ancients.  Even water clocks and timed candles (with lines on them for how long it burns in an hour) are pretty ancient.
