    I don't know?

    What was it, some words are 'black listed' I'm afraid?

    And sometimes, depending on connection and location it do seems to 'hang'. At least as I've experienced? Try again after a reboot and see if it makes a difference.

    Or possibly you tried to insert to many words for one post?
    That can give a error too.

    No good. I can't think I used any words which might be banned. I give up.

    Anyway, I was making the same point as you regarding a "Universal Time Rate" which is the hypothetical time rate at a "stationary" position at infinite distance from all the mass in the universe. Yes I agree, all time dilation is from this time rate downwards

    Yes :)

    Then you and me suspect the same there. I haven't seen anyone defining it as a 'constant' yet but I think it is one myself. You might want to define SpaceTime as a whole 'system' interacting where 'entropy' becomes the 'time rate', but myself I don't like it :)

    Just because of that fact you bring up there. that we do seem to have a same 'ground state'.
    If we didn't no frames should be expected to 'fit' as I see it, coming together, but they do, always..

    It is not by chance we have come down to discussion time as time is THE fundamental that explains some of the problems with current theory.

    I have developed some definite ideas regarding time and its effects and will post these in the new theory topics soon.

    I'm not sure it is a simple constant. I see it perhaps as a constant for each "universe" or set of frames, infinite in number.

    I don't see the link between time and entropy. There just different. Entropy is our way of looking at a particular property whilst time is a FUNDAMENTAL entity, however we may look at it.

    I think it has to be the server, looking at the post count under our names it hasn't updated the count at all? You got '25' posts the whole page.

    0uch..

    Weird, it did update . Okay it does it globally for each post..

    So something else then?

    Yor_on,

    It's been great having this discussion with you today.

    It is now midnight here in Spain so I shall now get to bed.
