Hot damn doggo!
Now I wonder.. will maths leave space for physics as an additional specific subject..? I could achieve the trifecta of science best friends, biology and chemistry are well covered <3 but physics, short of accosting Brian Cox at the pub, I should’ve known you’d have my back! Forces – check, energy - check, waves – check, lab etiquette – check, and the list just goes on - check check check! Holy perceptible reality!! I might finally have the team to build a Resonator and see the floaty floaty creatures just like From Beyond!! Make actual dreams come true!!
Joking aside, this is so interesting. I did a bit of looking at the closest equivalent here, and the direct one is relativity new still but it is more like part of one that we have had for a while. Physics was a subject I really thought a lot about studying at this level, but I come from a very strong science area, and the general comparison people make between others put me off doing something so excelled in locally. It is fascinating to see the areas covered in the US though, and how you were tested on them, always interesting how places chose to evaluate learning. What aspects did you enjoy most? I can see how this has given you building blocks for some aspects of the felixverse. I love that so many fiction lovers do love science, and the imagination and possibilities it sparks, hopefully now I will have an even greater appreciation for yours <3
So Victor, let’s get your opinion on my own humble little faux thought experiment (that is more just the pondering of my wayward mind, please humor me even if this is a stupid question). So space/time is a thing, and travelling through one involved travelling through the other, due to the wider motion of the universe, it is impossible to not move through space, just as it is impossible not to stop the passage of time. But what would happen to time outside the motion of the universe? To put it more explicitly, if a planet, stationary outside the reach of forces from other planetary bodies, wasn’t affected by the expansion of the universe (although I know, this is a whole other question in itself), but say somehow, a planet existed that did not in any way move through spacetime (regardless of the normal background propulsion observed), what would the passage of time be like on that planet? Everything moves in a linear direction through time, but then equally, that is tied into space/time motion, gravity distorting space and with it the passage of time, so something outside all the gravity distortions, and not moving at all, would it have time as we know it? Not that I think there is a set answer, just fun to wonder.
My workplace hates videos ~^^~
Hue hue hue hue!!!~
Oooo!~ Another physics person, yah really have gravitas on me, Ceratiola of Calluna. I enjoyed the mathematical aspects, but I wished I was taught the Calculus aspects to enjoy it even further - so I liked actually the "real" thing, the concepts as they are when we experience them. I love it even more when SFF can create alternative physics and material manipulations!!!!~ But dzieki Physics Cally!~
On the Vacuum planet: If we were to talk about the Vacuum Planet experiment, which will be flawed as an answer because we cannot imagine such successfully without being tainted by what we remove, on certain concepts, then I would say that the material flow of things (displacement of matter taken qualitatively, aka time) would highly dependent on how close you were to the core of the planet. Basically, since the observation of a very displacement of matter changes over time when we get affected by certain bodies of gravitas. Upon that note, even in the Vacuum World / Second World, we would have many varying speeds depending on one's magnitude to the core, material flow seemingly going faster as we integrate ourselves closer to the core.
(On my current philosophy on time: I humour our perception is linear bound or that we cannot materially exist what we were in the past when it had happened as it happened, yet we can with our memories since we can remember what had happened; yet everything moves spirally where we feel we can be cycles and other times linear, but we always advance as we do encounter farces of a tragedy [or an event repeating itself over at least twice] as we go through the motions.)
Time outside of matter: But if we imagine a Vacuum Universe with no matter other than undetermined Subject, we would have no understanding of time and be an amorphous blob floating about if that. Since time (all of our conceptions, no matter how Idealist instead of Materialist some are) is highly dependent on material flow / the displacement of matter, we wouldn't have an understanding of time. If undetermined Subject could theorize time, either it be something irrelevant, dependent on the material-lessness of the Universe they occupy or they have no way to prove other than solipsism.
its just the hotto dogu song
nope, wasn't talking about a vacuum planet, the planet itself doesn't matter for the purposes of the thought, it doesn't have to be a planet.
(i was thinking more about space time, and the fact that as you move through space, it changes how you experience time. Travelling fast through space distorts the passage of time, but we are are on a planet in orbit of a sun in orbit of a etc etc, we are constantly moving forwards through spacetime, our motion through space must affect our perception of time. therefore if we were able to get to a place in the universe where there was no distortion of spacetime from gravity, and be in a stationary position, what would the passage of time be like)
But thank you, you very clearly slapped that question down lol this is why i didn't study physics in the end, it makes me wonder
Hue!~
In the realm of philosophy, Vacuum means empty space or "isolated." Regardless, I was commenting on the example.
(<3)
Hue, this is after all my basic mental folly after years of studying philosophy.
ah yes, i get you, i didn't explain the example well enough... i'm sorry... i was only trying to rephrase my original question, the planet part of it wasn't supposed to be the focus, but i get it was a stupid question, but thank you for your consideration in telling me so <3
It wasn’t a stupid questions for there can never be stupid qs... only stupid answers!!!!~ Otherwise I apologize for not realizing the focus of your comment in the first part. And thanks for not beating me over the head for talking again~
