Salam,

The nearest star to us is the Sun. And it takes approximately 8 minutes for it's light to reach our eyes. Then, the question arose.

When we see the Sun, are we seeing the image of the blaze 8 minutes ago?

So, if we actually make the scale smaller, if it takes about 0.00001 seconds for the light of the monitor to enter our eyes, aren't we actually looking through an image and not the reality?

What's the reality? What is this world we're living in? Who are we?

While playing with the questions, another rose. What is 8 minutes? And what is 0.00001 seconds? Or to be more specific, what is time?

Is it a perception created by us when we compare an event to another? Well, that's the answer scientists gave. But imagine if people didnt make comparisons between two events, will there be time?

And so, that's why God swore with it. The mystery behind time is just unfathomable, yet.

"Wal Asr".

it IS the reality. it's just that it's 8 minutes in the past. lik, we're 8 minutes late.

so even if the sun stopped giving out light, we would only know bout it 8 minutes later.

this is a good one. =)

Basically you are saying that we are seeing things in the past?

Then what is present? Why does the term exists if everything we see are in the past?

L said...

what's present is true, it's what's happening NOW. it's just that the sunshine comes late, u see?

It's definitely not only about the sunshine.

What is 'now' if we are not seeing things in the real-time?

no, it IS only about sunshine.

ok now imagine if there is no light at all.

it's still reality. it's just that it's dark and u can't see anything. but it's real, all the same.

@Lee

Define 'past' and 'present'.

L said...

the past is the second i breathed just now.

the present is the second i'm breathing now.

Karim In The 4d World said...

Well, you made a comparison between 2 events. You made a 'time'.
But what is time?

And again how can you be so sure that that your breathing 'just now' is a reality? How can you be so sure that it, isn't your breathing 'now'?

Given that you made the comparison, you made the 'time' hence you made your own perception of reality of 'just now' and 'now'.

L said...

okay, simple question. were u a reality when u were 7? yes. are u a reality now that ur 17? yes.

there's a big difference when i was 7 and when i was 17, and yet it's still the same; it's still ME.

and i'm real, past or present.

L said...

uh watsat sppsd to mean?

It means that we are human and every single of us will just stand out to what he or she believed. So the debate continues and it'll never stop. Unless, you stopped it with a smiley.
