What are your thoughts on 'Midnight'?

I mean, Midnight is so...amazing...

For that spilt-of-a-split second, when the clock is in the midst of turning 12 Midnight, what happens?

Is it the evening, or the morning?

Or is it nothing?

It's really fascinating...to think that, for a moment only, a moment so short that it's hardly thought about...

That we're all apart of true Nothingness...

Weird to think about, huh?

So what do you think?

 

Midnight is acactly when the next day is, it is the start of another day.

 

I know, but what about that period of time RIGHT in between 11:59 pm and 12:00 midnight?

What's up with that?

 

Its like the countdown to a new day, just like when you countdown to the new year. ya know?

 

That is 11:59:30 and it is still the previous day. ;P

It's not as profound as you seem to think it is. xD

 

Hmm...I could see that.

 

Good, to see you get it.

 

Sorry, I mean the moment between 11:59:59 and 12:00:00 *sweat*

There has to be a bit of a...laspe, if you will, more like a...darn what's the word for it? Um...Transition! There!

There has to be some sort of Transition from 11:59:59 to 12:00:00, right?

So in that spilt moment between evening and morning, what is it?

Or does such a transition even exist?

 

Midnight huh...

for me, it's basically a time to either go to sleep, draw, or play on the computer. I've never thought about it much aside from those 3 things.

 

I had always just thought of it as there.

But then I started thinking about it more and more in depth...and...well, now I'm asking myself questions that don't have answers *nervous chuckle*

 

It's not exactly something i spend hours thinking about. As soon as it hit's 0:00 it's the next day, anything before that (even a split second) is the day before.

 

I suppose so...

but still, there's still a period of time in which it's nothing. That's theres no time, since 0:00 doesn't truly exist...

 

There is not time when there is no time, if there was a time with no time then that would defeat the object of time and if such a time existed then all that we know would also be open for debate.

Time can be divided into the tiniest smallest ammounts of measurement, no matter what it is always there. Yes, there is a transition, but in that transitional moment there is still time xD

Midnight is in so much awe because of a long tradition of superstition that has made it that way.

^^


0:00 does exist, if it didn't exist then we wouldn't be able to make the transition into the next day, for you to say 0:00 doesn't exist would be like saying that 0 as a number doesn't exist xD Time is continuous, it can't just switch off for a moment :P

IMO anyway.​

 

Hmmm... You've definitely got a point there!

But still...are you saying that there isn't even a fraction of a period of the day when we live in pure nothingness? That we're apart of nothingness?

If there is 'time', surely there must be the absence of time?

Like matter and anti-matter? Or light and dark?

I think for everything there is, there's an opposite.

So, if there must be 'time', there must be 'anti-time'.

And the only time I could think that there would be 'anti-time' would be at 12:00:00 midnight...

 

There is a 0:00. Whether numerically you go into saying that '0' exists or not, or in physics...everyone KNOWS the number 0 exists. You count with it, do math with it etc. Time is the 'human's' way of measuring the natural motion that always is in existence. It is nothing more than that, truly.

Humans have put 'number' values and also name values to things for a very long time. It's part of communication. We label everything and the measurement of motion is definitely one of those things. However, just because there is a 0:00 which marks the new day, it does not mean that 'in physics' this time cannot exist. It means it's a rotation of numbers starting at the beginning once again after finishing a cycle.

Also, another thing to note is that there's a good chance, 'midnight' isn't the 'exact' time of motion when a new day will begin. We monitor time as we can and all, but if we actually went by the way the earth does spin around the sun and calculated it all, we would have different times for each value of day to include some days are longer in day light, some longer in night, etc. If midnight is supposed to be the absolute point between night to day, that would shift around constantly, were we accurate, though in most places only by a couple hours at most. (very southern or northern people it would be different). So I think the 'time' thing is cool, but 0:00 exists to refresh to the new day so that we are not off by any real amount of time to the 24 hour standard. In actual motion, however, the earth is not just on pause at that time etc and movement continues as usual. It's because we gave it a 'value' that the point in 'time' actually exists at all.

As for my thoughts otherwise, I like night time and the shift between 'day and night' numerically is cool. I enjoy the night or day and sitting out in either and watching the sky. I've done what others consider a waste at times and just went out on nice nights or mornings and wandered about or sat at a beach and vegged, watching the sky and all. Good stuff.

 

That is exactly what I am saying, there isn't even the smallest tiniest moment of the day where we are apart from time, it is constant and continuous.

For sure most things have an opposite, but I really disagree that there is an "anti-time"

If time stopped even for the smallest tiniest fraction then it would mess with time itself, not only that but how would you measure that nothingness? With TIME xD

There can only be "anti-time" a nothingness as you call it, when time itself ceases to exist. There are moments when it seems like time is fluid, changing speed and pace, but it isn't. It is fixed and continual by the same measurements as always.

For there to be an anti-time, you would have to disbelieve in time full stop and what it represents. ​

 

Yeah, it's called 1000 milliseconds.

 

Is it really????

 

1000, actually. I made the edit already <.<;

 

Well, I think you mean 12:00:00:00:00...etc.

That is actually considered morning, when the clock strikes 12 it immediately switches to AM.

11:59:59:09..etc is PM
12:00:00:00..etc is AM
