    ... Why not? Sure, it's not very creative, but calling it space doesn't make it inexistent.

    They are real, but none have ever been measured to contain absolutely 0% matter in it. Yes, they are tested; every single time.

    The only thing that can't be disproved here is your theory of nothingness. By all means, you can believe there is nothingness, but nothing you've brought to the table is viable evidence of such a thing.

    Well infinity in itself is something.

    Hmm...

    It seems the cards aren't in my favor here *nervous laugh*

    Oh well, once I figure this out, I'll come back with a better argument!

    Then, wouldn't nothing in itself be nothing?

    I read about half of this and just needed to point out that "anti-time" would not be the absence of time just as anti-matter isn't empty space. My best bet is that anti-time would be the reverse flow of time.

    Also the point is being brought up that if time were to stop that it would unravel time itself but I don't think this is the case. There are time distortions and those don't disrupt the overall flow. This is not to say that I think time as we know it can stop, just that if it could i don't think it would be devistating.

    I'll take that as a rhetorical question....


    We can't prove infinity we can simply imagine it as a possibility. The same goes for nothing. The only issue here is that we can't truly recognize either as outcomes because of our limited perceptions.

    Why are you so deep about it? Not to be mean, but it sounds like the first post you put up, sounds alot like nobody stuff. Plus, isn't time like an illuison?

    I don't think anything of it. Time is considerably an illusion, so all it is is the restart of the day. Nothing more, nothing less, imo.

    Well, I guess there is more to it. An in-depth perception could b that it's a "gateway" to a new day. But other than that, I wouldn't catagorize it much.

    I don't know. I often think too deeply about stuff.

    Dreams, memories, midnight, rain, time, space...

    It's odd. Really, it is. Lol, sometimes I can't help but feel like I'm looking for some big answer or connection of some sort.

    An illusion, eh? Interesting...

    Couldn't have said it better myself :)

    Uhh....thank you? *sweat*

    Time is a concept of measuring 'motion'. Despite all the bad Star Trek episodes etc, going back in 'reverse' time wouldn't be that. It would be displacing oneself and reappearing at a point of motion again. I really don't think 'anti-time' could possibly mean 'reverse motion' as it is -still- a motion. Motion and movement is opposite of stagnation and something being frozen.

    There is a concept that physicists talk about which expresses that even as you are now, you are not the same person you were when you were born. That a molecule of water you drank could have past through the intestines of some famous person at one time etc. That matter which is around us is a stage of a 2nd level sight which we can 'see' and feel but if we could pull ourselves out of that and understand that a wall is made out of atoms, and we too are made out of atoms, a stone is made out of atoms, water is, etc, that the progression of movement on a cellular level can be measured and that we all change, leave things behind and also gain new things...time is very expressive with motion and we and everything else around us is that way. I do tend to like this theory and also if it is true, then the opposite of motion must be no motion; not reverse motion. I do not really believe there is such a thing as 'reverse' motion or going back in time as many science fiction novels etc depict. If people could go 'time traveling' I think it would work more on the lines of entanglement principles or maybe even wormholes, but really...even if people could go to another -time-, wouldn't they again be bound to the rules of that principle of motion yet again? I don't think therefore that anti-time could be reverse anything and instead you still progress forward or the possibility of doing nothing at all may exist.

    Okay, I'm a little bit confused on what you're trying to say about this stroke of "midnight," but all I know is that...it's basically a transition to midnight - to the next day. The split-moment it is in between, it is just time, moving, almost like in-between change. However, like Repliku has mentioned previously, it could almost be like a label...for instance, why had humankind decided to label that time of the evening 'midnight'? As for that nothingness, 'anti-time' or whatever...what White_Rook, Repliku, and Soushirei were saying, was basically correct.

    Thankyou for that insight 8D


    ...and at this point I'm going to close this :P it is all just repetition now and I don't think anything else can really be said.

    Any strong objections; there is this thing called a PM that you can use to tell me :P
