consider this 1. Travelling an X vector from left to right, we observe a distant object in our future path, 2. Travelling an X vector from left to right, we observe a distant object in our future past,object.............0→...................objectt=→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→Our past, our present, our future existing simultaneously
Quote from: alancalverd on 24/01/2016 16:50:03Cycles per second is indeed a rate. So how many seconds are there in a second? One, always and for ever, by definition.Quotethe cycles were originally timed by a normal second What, pray, is a normal second? There are solar seconds (1/86400 of a solar day, used for daytime celestial navigation and general timekeeping) and siderial seconds (a bit shorter, used for night celestial navigation and astronomy) but as the earth wobbles a bit, the international standard second is only and exactly the time that elapses during 9,192,631,770 cycles of the radiation produced by the transition between two levels of the cesium 133 atom.Quote me If I am incorrect, the caesium atom is in space-time so there is no way it can truly measure time.

If you can really observe a distant object in your future, you are definitely on the wrong forum.I'm sure there must be forums for discussing the paranormal somewhere...
Huh? if you are travelling a journey, let us say you are going to the moon, it takes an amount of ''time'' to get there, you can see the moon, technically you can see your future ahead of you.
You don't see the future, but you can see where you are going. That allows you to predict where and when you will be in the future and avoid bumping into things.
Why do I keep getting trapped in these ridiculous non logical posts?I would have assumed that being a member of the supposedly clever monkeys, I would learn from experience and just stay away.Is there any way to stop getting notifications about a post once you have made a comment?
Can you or can you not see distant objects?
If you was to travel to the object that would take time to get there and be in your future when you arrived at the object?
When you arrived it would be your present, and the travelling would be in your past.Unless you are Dr Who of course!

"1 second" cannot be a rate. The dimension of rate is T-1. One second is a measurement in dimension T. You are strongly advised not to take flight until you have started the engine. Learn the fundamentals before inviting passegers on a journey into the unknown.
You use a rate of the caesium atom to define 1 second, d/t is a rate
Quote from: Thebox on 25/01/2016 07:32:26You use a rate of the caesium atom to define 1 second, d/t is a rateThat doesn't make the second a rate.One second is the time that elapses while the 9,192,631,770 cycles are counted, they are just a very accurate timer.
so how can the cycle rate affect a 1 second period?
Quote from: Thebox on 25/01/2016 08:07:22so how can the cycle rate affect a 1 second period?It doesn't.This is very, very basic maths. You should have stuck with Pete's course then you would understand.I will try one last time.Cycles per second is a measure of frequency. The frequency of your radio station (millions of cycles every second) is different from the frequency of mains electricity (50 cycles every second in UK).If you want to measure one second using the mains, you would have to count 50 cycles to get 1second.If you are using Cesium you have to count a lot more, but because they are closer together they still take up 1second.Think of counting cars going by. In rush hour there will be far more cars going by every hour (and they are closer together) than there are at 2 in the morning (when they are further apart), eg 1000/hr against 2/hr, but the length of one hour is still the same.
I know what a frequency is.
time just is, and just is does not change.
