"How Long Is Now"

Post Reply New Topic

I associate "now" with a negative number. When a supervisor approaches me and says "I want it NOW! with a lot of emphasis on the word "now". It means he really wanted it yesterday.

I'm trying to keep up with this but all I can think of is that scene in Spaceballs. "You're watching now."

Now lasts forever. In a thousand years it will still be now.

And they were correct. Wait one minute and see if you still exist in the now.

There is a Major Issue with the Past and Present;
if one Worries (Thinks) About Either Place That Doesn't Literally Exist; one Literally Ages Faster; Any Worry Does this;
Shortens Telomeres; The Ongoing Diary of Our Real Existence Now; Shorter or Longer Now;
EvenTuAlly, Now Becomes Shorter Than Now; But one Never Realizes Now;
For one Never Literally Faces and Becomes the Reality of Now.
Everything Else is Illusion, Even Now;
So Why Worry; Just Live; Just Be; Now.

An Amazing Thing is; if one does 'Now' 'long' enough; one becomes all that is Now;

No Time, No Distance, No Space, No Matter, Even Beyond a Word as small as 3 Letters.

Of course that probably doesn't Make a Lick of sense/feel to most folks. A Better Question
And Answer iS How one might Actually Achieve This Nirvana And Bliss; Same Way, Generally,
Humans Have Always Done it; Become A Dance And Song; One Force of Water, River, Ocean Whole.

There is no way to Describe it but Poetry;

There is no way to Do it until one
Becomes the Essence of 'Poetry';
A Spiraling Flow That Never Begins or Ends Now.

Meh; Just in my opinion;

Every one Has them; until they set themselves Free;
Beyond All Words; Beyond All Knowledge; Just Be Free;
Be Water
Be Air
Be Wings
Be Wind Be Sea Do
See Feel Sense Ocean Whole
Eternity Beyond Any Word; 'Just Do it'; Flow.

In quantum mechanics, the Planck time (tP) is the unit of time in the system of natural units known as Planck units.  A Planck time unit is the time required for light to travel a distance of 1 Planck length in a vacuum, which is a time interval of approximately 5.39 × 10−44 seconds.

I propose that what we think of as "now" exists only within the interval of Planck Time, that there is an infinite number of "nows" at the quantum level, and that all of these "nows" represent instances of time from the dim and distant past to the dim and distant future, as well as all parallel and alternate timelines within the multiverse.

I wish everybody a happy 211 after-Darwin. ( and after Lincoln )

Happy new second!

Happy new nanosecond!

Etcetera, till the end of time

This belief that "time is real" is passe'!

Trendy folks like me reject it because it's so.... last years model!

I could have a dream of 1 year then wake up and see that just a few hours have been passed.
Last year I've been waking up too early like 4am and now it feels like 10 years have been passed not 1 year.

Time = Money
&
Money = Debt


Time is money according to the laws of capitalism, but according to that same capitalism, the same money is also a synonym for debt.
Conclusion: Time is guilty of debt.
People possess something of consciousness. But about time I have not see anything of consciousness. In itself strange, because the time is very correct and up to date, but he/she does not know it himself/herself.
So time is the culprit of everything, but in my view time is not imputable. So to drag the time to court as the culprit / culprit for the debt he causes seems to me a waste of time. The international criminal court in The Hague sees me coming, I think they let me be locked up immediately in an isolation cell if I am going to file a complaint against time.

One has to be outside of time to measure time effectively.

How would you know?  Have you ever been "outside time"?

I reasoned that as we stand inside time, we are governed by it. If time speeds up or slows down we also speed up or slow down and so does everything that is within times grasp, as one has to be outside of time and ground onself from this fixed timeless perspective to observe time.

How long is now

The answer from Alan Watts is "Eternal"

He's completely wrong.

Well; Considering that Quantum
Mechanics Questions An Illusion of Time;
Considering that Science Has No Clue How
