what hapens with time?

the time is one of the most misireous thing, in my understanding it doesn't flow uniform in all universe, for example, when you play something online whit other people, theres something called lag, that is the retardation of the game becouse of the internet connection, this creates a space where one player is seeing the game at a diferent speed than the other, sometimes both players are retarded, but when theyre not, it hapens a kind of rupture in time, hope you understanded my way of thinking and my bad english.

another example of this is when a star becomes a super nova, the light we see got out of the star many years ago, but we're seeing it now, if we supose that there are inteligent organisms in that solar sistem then they're living in a kinda diferent time than we are.

even with this, time is nothing, time is phisics aplicated, the time is the unknown force that moves the "materia, errr, everyting that is not energy and is there" and energy, if someone had a magic clock that can stop the time, then the universe would colapse,

i mean in little words: time is a force that moves the "materia" and energy, not uniformly upon universe, thats my understanding of time

well the amazing thing is how in past lives, we started out in the present, after death, we are reborn into the future

And you discovered this, presumably, after eating a nice fresh plate of red mushrooms with pretty spots on them just after you started to feel a bit transcendental and went for a lie down, and before your long and deep conversation with Algoraban the pixie who had just been re-incarnated for the second time that day...
Seriously, though, you state this stuff as if it were both true and widely accepted as such. It isn't, honest. This is a science and nature board and reincarnation is not science by any measure I can think of. Perhaps you could post the further adventures on the Philosophy and Religion boards which are much more appropriate venues for this sort of wisdom......

You're kidding me - right?

Lag in online games is caused because of the delay created as the packets transfer through each hop just to get to the gaming server - and then they need to be transferred again to the other players.

However, because this isn't about video games, I may as well contribute...

In my opinion, time runs the same throughout the universe. Perhaps it's only your perception of things. Life may be really fast to a snail, however extremely slow for a spider. It may all be in the way their mind processes things.

Well we know for sure that time is not constant. Relativity shows us this and explains the reason why as well as providing the sums necessary to calculate accurately how fast relative time is.
Time is relative - ie each person has their own time which is measured from an imaginary box in which that person is standing/sitting/lying down, and we call the box a Frame of Reference (FOR),
We know that 2 observers in 2 FOR which are moving relative to each other at a constant rate (ie they are not accelerating with respect to each other) will mean that the clocks in the two FORs will run at different rates. The greater the difference in relative speed, the greater the difference will be between the rate at which the clocks tick. At the speed of light (c) one clock would be completely frozen if observed from the other FOR (and vica-versa because any Special Relativistic effect of this type is reciprocal).

Time dilation also occurs when an observer is experiencing a different acceleration that another observer. Since gravity can be though of as acceleration it follows that gravity also produces time dilation. This is explained in the General Theory of Relativity and is normally called GR or Gravitational Time Dilation. The important point here is that this time dilation, unlike SR time dilation, is NOT reciprocal.
In other words, if you climb a mountain then an observer at sea level would NOT notice that your clock was running differently to his, but you would see the observer's clock running slow with respect to yours. In gravitational time dilation, clocks tick at a rate given by: t' = t(1 + Φ / c2) (where Φ is the gravitational potential, which in this case, Φ = gh).

For those who might want to take this further, CLICK HERE for a paper offering a more detailed look at Time Dilation in General Relativity.

HAHA lol well actually I am not sure of this, we actually could reincarnate into the past lol

but yeah I felt like being nice today and not "defragmenting" Pikaliburs topic...yeah about that lag thing...its just delayed packets dude...and yeah our perception with time depends on how many loops are brain goes through, so it really is the equation perceptionoftime=speed of light/(amount of loops to maintain consciousness) or something like that

one of my favourate subjects that i wonder about is time...... time machine... time travel..... time dimension.....

it is so facinating about manuplation of time....

well one thing is for sure that there are lots of mistyries hidden about time hat are yet to ravveled...

but i have read about time dimensions in physics those lorentz transformations and all that....

speed of light....

buy the way can anybody tell me the movies that have been built on time machine or time travel.
