In this episode we dive deeper into the relationship between space and time and explore how we can geometrically map the causality of the universe and increase our understanding of how time and distance relate to one another.

02/21/2025 - 8:41 AMI think its quite a bit missleading, its not about FTL breaking space-time geomertry, its about FTL inside time dialation physics breaking space-time geomertry.

02/21/2025 - 8:41 AMWithout understanding my impact on society as a whole, I cannot predict what will arise from these causalities.
I need to see what's happening in real time, so I can predict the greater impact of these causalities on the future generations of the impacted individuals and or societies.

02/21/2025 - 8:41 AMOmg I just got an idea for a new sci fi movie β¦ βEternal travelerβ . Some one figured out how to fly near the speed of light and communicate back to earth. From his point of view time barely goes by , and he figures out ways to translate the messages through time so they are not time dilatedβ¦. π

@verslalchimie5824
02/21/2025 - 8:41 AMTheir is a flaw in the reasoning of simultaneity that is always being represented by when the light of two events reaches the observers. This is nonsense. This depends on the speed of the observer and the distance light has to travel. That's like saying an event portrayed on a movie screen occurs when the light from the screen reaches your eye. NO. The event occurred earlier on the screen, without observation. Events occur throughout the universe, and in an abstract sense, we can say two events can occur simultaneously AT THEIR SOURCE, independent of when their light reaches any observer.

I'm obsessed with this subject, and wanted to be a science communicator so bad as a kid. Still time I spose. So jealous.
@derekboyt3383
02/21/2025 - 8:41 AMTIME DOES NOT EXIST. Itβs merely a measure of movement. Ask yourself – what is time.
Time only exists in the absence of space and the same is true for space only existing in the absence of time.
Now, there is a βplaceβ where both space and time both exist simultaneously and thatβs the event horizon. This barrier exists everywhere and is present at the quantum (atom) and cosmic (planet / star / galaxy / universe) scale.
Since we (humans) are made of trillions of atoms, we literally exist on this barrier between space and time. This is why we have the ability to perceive both space and time; however, we canβt truly perceive time because our senses are external to where time resides.
When I say time doesnβt exist, I mean that it doesnβt exist in our 3D universe.
This poses a very strange phenomenon. Why can we have consciousness across this space to time barrier. Well, the only thing that makes since is the molecules that govern this connection between the internal (singularity) and external (3D universe). This molecule is DNA and itβs twisted helical nature is seen at the atomic and cosmic scale. This is where we need to focus our science if we truly want to understand everything. It will take us into the internal by examining the external dynamic properties.
