Machin Shin Posted August 5, 2009 Time is a function of the amount of mass. Space is curved relative to the amount of mass in a system of bodies. The passage of time in a system of bodies is proportional to the amount of mass. Does anybody disagree with me yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted August 5, 2009 Time is a function of the amount of mass. Space is curved relative to the amount of mass in a system of bodies. The passage of time in a system of bodies is proportional to the amount of mass. Does anybody disagree with me yet? Yes, I disagree. There is no time without mass, space and movement. All three variables must be considered. That space is curved is still an unproven theory to the best of my knowledge. Be well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dwai Posted August 5, 2009 Time is a function of the amount of mass. Space is curved relative to the amount of mass in a system of bodies. The passage of time in a system of bodies is proportional to the amount of mass. Does anybody disagree with me yet? Time simply is a phenomenon...impermanent and unpredictable.

Machin Shin Posted August 5, 2009 That space is curved is still an unproven theory to the best of my knowledge. General relativity could accurately predict the orbit of Mercury. Up until 1904 whenever astronomers would predict Mercury's apparent position it would be wrong. Then the Mathematics of general relativity were applied to the observations of Mercury. Lo and behold!! Mercury's orbit could accurately by predicted. Quaternion mathematics is a basic component in curved spacetime. The study of this topic might help with this conversation.Quaternions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
