Time and Absolute Zero

One day we will wake up and notice that the two objects moving are just products of the quantum soup; the matrix; cosmic intelligence. in fact anything materialistic is the product of infinite intelligence and thought. thus the product can change into what will.

i think therefore i am!

""No words""

No, animals have no awareness of time, as you need memory for that, the ability to compare two different events and establish this happened then and this happened then.
Animals only have awareness of 'this moment'.
we have been able to stop light by shining it into a cloud or something and then cooling it to almost absolute zero, so i guess that you could argue that time was stopped inside the cloud.

as for time being a human construct, there's no way that it could be, because humans evolved from other beings, and that takes time.

but if time really is a human construct, then we wouldn't be here

also if time was a human construct, then we would be able to alter reality (slow down, speed up time. think MATRIX) just by thinking.

agreed

AS FOR THE UNIVERSE "COOLING" TO ZERO, THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE "WARMING", MOST OF THE UNIVERSE IS FAR BELOW ZERO, WITH THE EXEPTION OF BEING A STAR OR VERY CLOSE TO A STAR, WHICH EMITS HEAT.

AS FOR TIME STOPPING, MATTER MOVING OR NOT MOVING DOESNT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH STOPPING TIME, BUT I CAN UNDERSTAND WHERE THE QUESTION COMES FROM, TIME CAN'T BE STOPPED, IT'S ONGOING, WITHOUT BEGINNING WITHOUT END.

BECAUSE TWO OBJECTS OR EVENTS CAN BE COMPARED, WE ARE ABLE TO CONCLUDE THAT THERE IS A TIME DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM,THIS HOWEVER, DOES NOTHING TO PROVE THAT TIME CAN BE STOPPED, ALL IT PROVES IS THAT WE HAVE THE INTELLECT TO PERCEIVE TIME.

TO STOP EVERYTHING FROM MOVING IS TO STOP THE OBSERVATION OF TIME NOT TO STOP TIME ITSELF.

really? if everything stops, if things stop to age, stop to grow, stop to think, to feel, how will time go on?

"I'll heal ur woundz I'll set u free, I m jesus christ on xtacy"

SAME WAY IT GOES ON WITH AGE, GROWTH, THINKING, AND FEELING.

Just as clarification, I'm not talking about 0 degrees F or C, but 0 degrees Kelvin, the temperature at which all sub atomic paritcles stop moving

"The summit is just a halfway point"

hmmm, so if everything stops, how will time go on? If the universe stops, how will time 'flow'?

"I'll heal ur woundz I'll set u free, I m jesus christ on xtacy"

Time is infinite meaning time has never started nor will it stop. It is a continual flow for eternity. Time exists externally from the movement and temperature of matter. If the universe stopped, that is time. Time is always everywhere. Wherever anything is, there will always be time. Without time there is nothing.

"The summit is just a halfway point"

Anyone can claim that this is so and so, again and again simply saying \time is eternal' is not enough. Right now, we can see time taking effect all around us. My body is changing, my face will be different 5 years from now, that tree will be different ten years from now, that mountain will be different a hundered years from now- thus one can conclude that there is time. But if none of this happens, if everything stops, how can you say time will still flow? How will it flow?

"The summit is just a halfway point"

This whole thread started with the proposal that if everything stopped vibrating, time might stop.

But even if everything stopped moving, there is still gravity, and time/space. So eventually, things will start bumping into one another again, and everything will eventually become energised again.

All of these 'bumping-intos' will occur over 'time'. Thus, time will still exist. Even if you want to measure time an effect of light traveling through space, even if all the suns in the universe froze in an instant, their light would continue on indefinately. So time would still exist then too.

But as every part of your being is suddenly dropped to absolute zero, time - for you - will come to and end, so you could say that if you cease to exist, time does as well...

But please, keep on trying. I see a lot of thought going into some of these threads.

"Always give to the left, coz the right way is the wrong way."

gravity has to do with stuff moving, so no... there will be no gravity if everything stops

PUT IT THIS WAY, THE UNIVERSE IS ONLY SO OLD. AT ONE POINT IN TIME THERE WAS NO UNIVERSE, JUST NOTHINGNESS, BUT NOW WE KNOW THERES A UNIVERSE. SO THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A TIME FLOW TO GO FROM NOTHING TO SOMETHING, EVEN WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING OF MATTER, THERE WAS TIME.
