  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

@casualconversation l've always known that time is an artificial construct ever since I was told to sit down to study. As l grew up, l saw mechanical clocks getting replaced by battery clocks. Until l realised that the clock is actually being run from a centralised node, no matter where you're located.

What l'm realising now is that, the calendar too is being constructed from a centralised network, whether it's the question of the World Cup or a war.

I just shared my rambling with you all.

What's your thoughts/perspective/observation on this ???

kinda seems like time is an emergent property being caused by the illusion of distance, which is itself an emergent property of a holographic projection of lower dimensional base physical reality onto a higher dimensional space - as if we're living in a multi-dimensional hologram being projected from a singularity

why does light not experience time? from the photon's perspective, its created, travels any arbitrary 'distance' and is absorbed at its destination, all in the same instant . . . as if it didn't actually go anywhere at all in the base layer of physical reality
