Because of such a cool quote I see in this thread, I gotta post my ideas.

I never knew that M-theory posits more than 1 dimension of time. Iirc it's 10 space and 1 time... well, I'll pretend the OP is right in this case, though I'd like a source. Moving on. While string theory (and its more general version M-theory) posits that there can be more than 1 dimension of time, it's better if we don't let that mindfuck with us too easily yet. The theory doesn't even have a final form yet and ofc that means it is untested. Very highly speculative and the extra dimensions are only there for the maths to work out. There are known cases where some parts of the maths in a theory give weird predictions and we tend to just ignore it. Such as electrodynamics predicting a wave propagation backwards in time. Not to mention that its rival theories don't require all this extra dimensions, which is a lot of relief to us physicists. Either way, point is that it makes no testable prediction yet so until it does, it's best for non-specialists to not take these things seriously.

Which brings us to the next part; what is our best definition of time? Given the definition of a second, I would agree with Lelouch's simple definition of time being a measurement of consistent motion sequences. Yukito said that such definition encounters difficulty when we account for time dilation (and gravitational time dilation, where your measurement of time is messed up simply because some fat blob of matter is near you) which is correct. However, a better understanding of relativity would inform us about how to get around this difficulty. Remember that time and space cannot be separated in these theories and must be taken into account together as a single entity; spacetime. Also, it is wrong for us to think about one special reference frame for the measurement as one of the basics of relativity is that there is no such frames; all frames are equally valid.

If we don't accept those two changes to our thinking, then we cannot possibly make sense of the postulate of general relativity: All observers, regardless of their state of motion, measure the same speed of light in vacuum. That is only possible with spacetime subject to the transformation given in the theory which is impossible to make sense of had space and time being separate concepts.

So, what's the definition of spacetime then? Well, let's just call it a measure of constant intervals and sequences.

lolyeah.

well, just some hype over high iq scores. interesting to see what she does with all that power.

162 because of some girl with 162 iq appearing in news, and diamond cuz they found a diamond planet.

hurr.

hm... style huh.

prob is, i suck at formality.

i mean write things as i'd say it.

ooh.

on the other hand, my speakwrite style is giving me probs in official academic writing. fuck.

who?

They do. Satisfy yourself and then study.

More like, I follow my distractions so they wouldn't bug me.

Annoying as usual. At least preparing for the test is going alright.

No idea why it's nice, but sure lol.

I'd make a horrible actor. And, I'm also allergic to publicity.

Fuck that, I'll live my life as I will it.

Take my life if you must, but you're not having my mind.

Yeah, just as scummy office workers are just born!

That's a terribly depressing view of life. Born just to do stagnant shit which only helps you prolong the life which will only be used to do the same stagnant shit. SMFH.

World being stupid. Nothing new.

Man, scientists should really go to live in some island and then thrive only by themselves. Let the world know how wonderful life would be without their funds-eating slacker.

Cool enough for me. Let scientist do absolutely nothing for a hundred years and the world will grow fucking stagnant.

Fucking morons don't realize that their oh-so-important calls are only possible because some nerd slackers in the past had enough free time to research electromagnetism.

SMFH.

No serious student ever said it was all games.

And if it wasn't mostly fun, student life, maybe the whole knowledge thing isn't for you. Simple.
