[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because, only really smart people understand the significance of the movie Ground Hog Day.  And if you don't, then you're not one of them.[/quote]

Please tell us dumb people the significance of the movie Ground Hog Day.[/quote]

It means you have yet to learn that time is an illusion and reality is, everyday is ground hog day.  Time exists only in our psychology to try to make sense of things that happen in the TV screen of our brain.  Most people think time is somehow "real"; real, as in it exists outside of the figment of our imagination.  Those of us who understand yet still have faith do so for as many reasons as does everyone else. I do so because I wish (we call that hope in my religion) there is more to reality.  Here's degrasse Tyson explaining time.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CKPfLV7Ud0[/quote]

You're misunderstanding this. Time is a fundamental aspect of reality, evidenced by its role in physics and our ability to measure it, [u]even if our perception of it can be subjective[/u]. Einstein's theory of relativity suggests that time is relative, meaning it can pass differently depending on an observer's speed or gravitational field, but it doesn't negate its existence. [/quote]

Some believe it may be fundamental, others think it may be an emergent property (I laugh to myself with that term). Wheeler Dewitt equation doesn't use it at all.  I'm not a physicist to begin to make sense of it all.[/quote]

Define it however you wish. As written prior, it doesn't negate its existence. [/quote]
