We've already got the math for what time *is* mathematically (no! really?! ). We need to figure out a way to go through it or around it or whatnot. People just can't figure out what direction time goes, how one experiences it, etc.

    That's where it gets into metaphysics. "As the boundaries for experiencing time are removed, so is its relevancy" is a quote that I've read recently and find intriguing. Also, suppose you are traveling at the speed of light. (Remember, this is *supposed*) Since it seems to be agreed that time slows as you approach the speed of light and stops AT the speed of light it has been brought up that maybe time ceases to exist all together. Interesting! On to read more Parmenides, Xeno, Plato, Augustine, and such..
    Although I wonder if time stops at the speed of light then how can we reasonably measure its speed? Part of the problem with time as you said we don't understand how time works in relation to how we percieve it works. For all we know, we have it completely backwards (or sideways even!) We percieve time in a series of causes and effects that progress in a linear fassion but have no answer as to how going backwards will effect that progression. Some theories suggest that even the act of going back in time will irreversibly change the "present".
    I wonder if going back in time will alter ones perception of what the present is? There are so many variables, the only thing we can do is speculate the enorimity of the effect that time travel will have.
    If there is a time travel experment, I'm not going to be one of the people that signs up lol

    Oh and Bump

    Krissy, I am at school right now typing this. I will have to bring up your points in the metaphysics class which is in 55 (cinquante-cinq ) minutes.

    I took some notes of my own, doing my own searches, and finding my own sources, so I could bring it up in class this past Wednesday. Wouldn't ya know it, the teacher wanted my notes! It was odd and hilarious!

    I will type a reply to your question when I am at home. Right now, I must go see if I can purchase a stapler here!

    I have no idea why but your comment reminded me of this stupid/funny utube video called Schfifty Five.

    Anyone want to contribute to my dog collaboration video? You can just submit pictures and a phrase if you don't have a way to get video. There's a link in my signature that explains it.
