On the nature of time, split brain patients and other topics

Oh I dunno. It's just spared me from typing 'dunno' at the same as 'I'. That seems like a pretty physical effect.


What does this mean?

Time itself did not cause any of your typing or lack thereof.

What does it mean? I wish I knew, the OP made the claim that time has an effect on space and energy.

No, what I said was: it caused me to not type both those words simultaneously. That's a pretty physical effect.
 
I've seen people type two separate documents at the same time. Made my brain hurt. Something weird with his corpus callosum.

Time didn't cause that either. Other physical phenomena caused it.

But for the passage of time, I could have typed them simultaneously.

What other physicsl phenomena - that do not themselves depend on the passage of time - do you suggest?

No, not at the same time - they switched between documents rapidly - only typing in one at a time.

I didn't see you there. The dude was using two keyboards connected to two computers and both screen showed progress simultaneously. He was under some intense study, and was having fun. I would have had trouble believing it if I hadn't been there. He told us he'd been doing things like that since preschool days.

Split brain?

Why do some people have ‘two brains’?

The father of “split-brain syndrome” explains how researchers discovered our “two brains”.

No, that was due to the physical properties and forces between your fingers and the typewriter.

How do my fingers prevent typing two words at the same time?

Don;t answer that. I don't feel like quibbling over semantics.

You know perfectly well that these events are separated by time. If not for the existence of time, nothing would separate these events.

Yeah, that's what I got from their summation. They almost purred when they had their data. The dude just shrugged, he'd evidently always been able to do that. That data point was very interest for the boffins. No traumatic origin indicated a possible genetic aspect. Along about then I backed slowly and quietly out of the room.

One other trick the dude had that impressed me. He would reach into two bowls and pull out a checker. Then he'd put it neatly into stacks, sorted by color. Simultaneously. He said that his left eye was working with his right hand, etc.

I replied once already, don't know where it went. It's the best way I can explain it. Instead of it being spacetime, think of it as being spinning collapsing spheres of spacetime, lol. They start out as a universal event encapsulating everything individually as they collapse. The rate of collapse depends on mass, or no mass and momentum. The complete collapse defines the present, the now, the point in a point particle. The question boils down to what is energy? Energy can be divided. Can time exist without energy? Can energy exist without time? Does the conservation of energy imply an infinite state? For potential energy to become energy there must be change. Can the change of a single packet of energy create a universe? Like everything in this universe the beginning must come from the simplest beginning. It must be structured to be able to build upon itself over a period of time. One packet of energy will not do. Here is something on the dynamics of foam. Take note that an infinity of Quantum Macro Foam. Energy in its weakest state, the boarders are not as strong as the Foam posted here. https://www.jmu.edu/news/2011/10/18-foam-for-thought.shtml

The boarders? I was never a boarder, just a day boy. Perhaps we were stronger than the boarders.
