More About Me

I'm passionate about

My family, and sharing my work and ideas with others.

An idea worth spreading

How is time measured at the center of an axis? We measure our time in days as revolutions around our sun as our axis. Solar systems also rotate around an axis that is measured by time. But how is time measured at the center of an axis point? How Big is Big and how small is small. What is the center point of an axis? Can it be measured? Is this the point of infinity? Just thinking.

People don't know that I'm good at

Troubleshooting and repairing of many types of industrial equipment. Deductive reasoning is a gift to me from my Father in Heaven.

  Aug 17 2011: Hello Todd,
  Thanks for the information. I will look into this and do some more looking into what others have said. It is a very open topic, and brings many things to the table to consider. Thanks for sharing with me the knowledge that you have collected to allow me to grow. Somehow, we are all in this together. Thanks.

  Aug 17 2011: Hello Borrah. You made me smile with your closing sentence. But your definition is profound. Thanks for sharing with me your thoughts and ideas. I believe it is the sharing of thoughts that help us all grow intellectually.

  Aug 15 2011: Thanks Todd. These are some very deep subjects and I have been reading more and more along these lines. I am also wondering is Einstein's understanding of the speed of light, really a correct formula or is the speed of light like you stated, No Barrier at All? It seems to me that the more we study the more we do not understand. One question leads to another and another, etc. With the speed of technology, we are able to see farther than before, look smaller than before and it just puzzles my mind, if Time is a measurement, How big is big and how small is small??????? It seems to me to be an infinite distance either direction you start looking at. Thanks for the insite. Many more thoughts to consider.

  Aug 11 2011: Hello Todd. I have read many of Issac Assimov Science Fiction, but none of his other books. Do you happen to know what book this came from? I would be interested in reading more to help me understand or try to understand what Time Is? If you could share with me, I would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  Aug 9 2011: I would not apologize for your explanation. I think that you have explained it very well. That is where I get to thinking how BIB is BIG and how small is small. Thanks.

  Aug 3 2011: Thanks. I don't think I have seen the go-tee style of modicon but I do like it. Keep passing the smiles out. They are free.

  Jul 31 2011: I agree. That all time measurements that we have come up with are due to the measurement of distance traveled around an axis point. Thanks.

  Jul 31 2011: I really like your answer. It cannot be held onto. It cannot be purchased. It cannot be retrieved. Only moving forward as we perceive it now. Thanks.

  Jul 28 2011: But then the question begins, How BIG is BIG and how small is small. At what point of the center of the axis will there be no movement? No distance traveled like on the outside of a circle. What is in the very center of an axis that is used to measure time? Other Galaxies? Other Dimensions? Just wondering.
