Time slows way down when Nancy Pelosi is giving a speech.

Outside of sentient life does time really matter?

[ETL]

“Time flows. Choose any coordinate system and you can stand still in space but not in time.”

Not for anything that moves at the speed of light, such as a photon or graviton. For them, time supposedly stands still. And, if I got it correct, distance doesn’t exist.

Space is the word used for the concept of a place where there isn’t anything. The word is convenient and the concept is convenient, but do not refer to an object. So “creating space” is an empty concept too.

Time is a way of marking the process of entropy.

It isn’t an illusion if it’s a shared perception.

How could we build a culture around a physical reality that no one can perceive except through complex instruments?

[IronJack]

Does time exist independent of space? Is there any relationship between the two?

[loungitude]

It’s time to cross the line from later on to way back when.

Moreover, there is a special moment in time we call “now.” No such special location exists in the dimensions of space.

Uh, how about "here?"

[BitWielder1]

Every point in time along your lifeline is "now", just like everywhere you go is "here", to you.
And then it immediately changes to a new "now" and a new "here".
And each observer has his own here and now. Always and ever changing.

He’s going to create some time?

Wow.

When is he going to do this?

The real purpose of this article is to convey the message quoted below. I believe this is why they don’t seem to be thinking carefully about space and time.

“We came up with a solid analysis of each of the biases and were able to conclude, using our independent work, that global warming was real and caused by humans.”

[reasonisfaith]

Here’s where the guy makes the move to establish his credibility:

“Einstein considered his inability to account for the flow of time and the meaning of “now” as a failure. Some modern theorists aren’t up to his standard...”

Moreover, there is a special moment in time we call “now.”

That is the only time that exists.

[TigersEye]

All of the issues legitimately raised by skeptics were potential biases: data selection, temperature-station siting, data adjustment, and heat island. The fifth was potential bias from the large number of adjusted parameters that were used in the global climate models, and from the instability of those enormous simulations. We came up with a solid analysis of each of the biases and were able to conclude, using our independent work, that global warming was real and caused by humans.

My goodness! Doesn't he sound brilliant? Every word of that was gobbeldygook. The false premises are coming out of his ears.

I disagree that there is no specific locus in space that corresponds to “Now” in time. It is called “Here.” It is that locus in which we reference everything we observe from the speed of light to the contraction of time in relation to that speed. We make assumptions based on “here” that may be different from other locations that might be different but we cannot know because we are not there to experience that “here,” just as we cannot experience a different condition in a different “now.”
