www.humanaiproject.org "Dream as if you'll live forever; live as if you'll die tomorrow." - James Dean(ISTP)Probably becuase they aren't the same. For one, the speed of light is a constant, where time is a variable. And they aren't the same units. "When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity." - Albert Einstein

So you are saying that if Einstein was right we are all getting younger? And time for me is more a constant than a variable. I have difficult to see how the speed of time could change. jhaga CodeProject House, Paul Watson wrote: ...and the roar of John Simmons own personal Nascar in the garage.

www.humanaiproject.org "Dream as if you'll live forever; live as if you'll die tomorrow." - James Dean(ISTP)But... even if it turns out that c is not constant, perhaps it is realted to time, probably by some weird and complex formula, but it won't be equal. The mismatch of units is a dead give-away. That's how I always knew if i had a physics equation wrong... i they units didn't match up, I new I was toast.

www.humanaiproject.org "Dream as if you'll live forever; live as if you'll die tomorrow." - James Dean(ISTP)I think this is sort of a subjective thing. Time, the passage of time, the quantization of time, etc., is based on human perception or our perception of our machines. Conversely, this perception is governed by fundamental laws of time. For example, chemical reactions occur in the femtosecond time frame. If they occured faster or slower, our perception would be faster or slower. To make things more complicated, even simple senses such as temperature involve the measurement of time. Temperature is the partial derivative of heat transfer over time (if I remember that right). We tend to think of temperature in the absolute, but it's a very complicated perception involving the concept of time. Temperature is an excellent example of time being applied in a rate equation, similarly, velocity. However, the other concept of time is in the measure of "nowness" with relation to the future and the past. How do quantify "now"? Even worse, why is there a "now"? Since science has no answers, you might want to inquire of the philosophers: http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/t/time.htm[^] (an excellent resource for a lot of annoying questions about time, both philosophical and scientific, I'd say) Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

Your analysis sounds good to me. after talking with a friend of mind I can of like the way he put it. "Relativity has reduced time to a fluctuating event.":-D but since I have you here have you ever read about chaos theory? http://www.duke.edu/~mjd/chaos/chaos.html[^] "...For, without a doubt, one cannot really explore chaos without a computer..." ah more motivation for me, to finish my HAI demo, which I have made some promising progress, btw the past couple of days:jig: I can't wait until I'm finished, I feel pressured too, ah.
