Two Time Frames

To elaborate on prior statement "You can slow down the speed at which you age" and make it more clear to understand first it needs to be said that the statement is not directly accurate. How can someone slow down the rate at which the body ages? There are two ways to achieve the result. Think of a car on the freeway. How can a particular vehicle travel slower than other cars? One way is to literally slow down and let other cars pass you. The other way is for other cars to speed up. They are both the same thing from different perspective.

Now let's suppose every human lives exactly 100 years. The biological clock of 100 years timed by earth's rotation around the sun. The pursuit of human beings have been to live longer and with that naturally people think of slowing down their body from aging. But what if everyone lives 100 years but some live to be 200? How can that be? Think of a car that only can role on the ground for 100 miles but ends up 200 miles from the origin. The odometer records 100 miles. But when measuring the distance it is 200 miles. How can that be? The only way is for the car to stop and be carried to a further distance. It can be done in countless ways in terms of when, how much, and how often. For every one mile the car drives it is carried one mile further for example.

Applying the same analogy for humans, in order for someone to live to be 200 years old that person does not need to slow down the speed of aging (although that's exactly how it would seem from a 3rd person perspective) but actually increase the speed at which he or she travels through time. Basically time traveling.

The key is to do this without being aware of having traveled through time in order to feel as though the person actually lived for 200 years. (200 years is only for example). If someone lived for 200 years but is only aware of 100 years of actual life it would be meaningless. So how can someone live 100 years but end up 200 years old remembering every year of his life? (except the very early childhood of course). 100% increase maybe too much but for the sake of this scenario it is easier to understand.

Within 24 hour period there are many minutes, or seconds, that each individual cannot account for or remember. Let's say you are sitting in a car waiting for red light to turn to green, waiting in the grocery store, or just sitting in the couch looking out the window. These are idle times. Even if you skipped a second here or there it wouldn't make much difference in your life nor would you feel as though you are missing any time. The goal would be to skip over these idle times as much as possible without wasting your own biological clock or disturbing your contiguous awareness of time flow. The ideal way would be to do it in smaller increments. Shorter time periods skipped over.

But what if the time period became shorter and shorter and continuous? 1/10th of a second followed by skip of 1/10th, then 1/100th followed by 1/100th, and so on and nonstop. Eventually your biological clock and physical clock would coincide and flow together. Your biological clock flowing at half speed of physical clock but in actuality you are time traveling at twice the speed of physical clock. In essence you have slowed down the speed at which you age.

Two time frames can coexist in one reality.

Time Frame

The other day there was Nova special program on Star Trek. The show covered subjects like space travel and limitations to speed due to massive energy requirement. All was very interesting and seemed like plausible explanation for why space travel would be almost impossible for humans. Then the scientists in the show made some statements that quite didn't make sense and in fact was self contradictory.
It was time dilation.
Basically what they stated is that if someone travels near speed of light what seemed like a month of travel for the person in the spaceship would return to Earth thousands of years later at Earth time. Ok. Now there are two point of references in this scenario. Person on the Earth and person on the spaceship. Mathematically I suppose this was proved and each point of reference would see the passage of time according to the statement. Assuming the mathematics is correct. I mean, if the mathematics is universal truth independent of human existence.

The problem is this.
Scientists have measured the distance of various stars in the universe from less than 10 to more than 100,000 light years away. Let's suppose humans have built a ship to travel to a place 2 light years away at speed of light. After launch the person on the earth would assume the ship have arrived at the destination after two years. And after another two years on the earth the ship will return. If that does not hold true then the actual measurement of the distance would be false. Wouldn't it? Or should scientists assume the ship will not return for thousands of years and forget about the whole launch.

From the point of view on the spaceship the whole travel could seem like few days instead of two years. Sort of like being in a live slow motion without being in the cryofreeze. It's not that the person on the space ship took less time or the people on Earth aged faster. As an object approaches speed of light the passage of time for that object approaches zero.

What that means is that if someone travels at speed of light the only time passed for that person is the time it took to accelerate into speed of light and decelerate to stop from speed of light. Of course all the while from Earth's point of view the spaceship is traveling and aging. From the spaceship point of view the crew would have amnesia of the time it took to travel from point A to point B once it achieved speed of light. It would be instantaneous from spaceship point of reference since no time would have passed in that frame of reference.

So what does that mean? It means that at speed of light you can travel instantaneously from point A to point B except that everyone outside of your point of reference would not stop time with you.

It also means that two different frame of reference may have two different speed of time without contradicting physical laws. That means each individual on Earth can age at different speed by virtue of having different frame of reference.

You can slow down the speed at which you age.

Naked Emperor

Money money money

It is all about money

Never enough
Always wanting more
Hoarding
Flaunting
Splurging
Wasting

Mistaking wealth as respect
Mistaking money as power
Confused and
Dazed

So yesterday there was this news....

So I know nothing about art

And do not know who Barnett Newman is
But since I am not blind
I see the blue painted canvas
With white stripe down the middle

For someone to pay close to 44 million dollars
The utter joke of human behavior
A farce
Just like the story of Naked Emperor
Now that story I remember
From childhood days



But never thought about it
Or understood fully
Until now...

One phrase that hit home

"collective ignorance of an obvious fact..." 

Was truly in play for art sale above

Granted the value of a lot of things

Is not dependent on the item itself

But the origin or significance of such item

Like the signed book by a famous author

Old antique piece of furniture

Or baseball that won the world series

Obviously this painting of blue with white stripe

Is valued for not the actual painting itself

But for its significance 

Regardless

It is a value placed and dictated 

By human nature's 

Desire to own an item no one else has

It is pure vanity
Stemmed from greed
To own
To have
To keep it in one's possession
To declare to the world
That you have paid more than anyone else

Going once
Twice
Sold to the bidder for 43.8 million dollars

What an accomplishment of pure vanity
It is really an embarrassment
And shame
