Neil deGrasse Tyson - Relativity and the Twin Paradox
I'm 29 now. It's been four years since I got a new license. At midnight when it was officially my birthday something hit me. It occurred to me time, days, years, it's a measurement of distance. Time doesn't actually exist all that exists is gravity and space. Time is only a measurement of distance relative to gravity.
My birthday, all it represents is that on this 'day' the Earth is in the same exact position it was in relation to the sun the moment I was born. Give or take accounting for the slow expansion of the universe and the extra 6 hours and change accounted for on leap day...but as close as we can measure and represent time is only tracking where our position is around the sun. Take me exactly as I am and move me to a place with differing gravity, with differing relation to the speed of light, which again is a measure of distance not time, and I age slower infancy could take twice the 'time' it does on Earth.
Existence is merely gravity and space.
I look at myself in my old license 25 years old...25 complete revolutions around the sun. I think about when I will have to get another new license I'll be 33 years old...four more revolutions around the sun. What happens during those revolutions? Why do our bodies 'age' what is it to age? it's relative to our revolutions around the star in our system. It takes 248 Earth years for Pluto to make one revolution around the Sun. From the year 1768 to 2016 Pluto has made one revolution. One 'year' on Pluto is older than the country I live in. To exist is so strange to me.
What if there are lifeforms that live in a different gravity and space combination that can visit Earth multiple times in their single life but to us each visit is a millennia apart. One 'year' from their home planet is a thousand earth 'years' to us. If they were born at the same exact moment as Christ that being would be two years old while Christ has ascended two millennia ago to us. It's all relative. Is the Earth 10,000 years old or is it 4.543 billion years? I guess it depends on the perspective and measurement of a 'year' from the person claiming. God if out of space and time could simply be beyond gravity. That's all it would take to be outside of time 'omnipresent'
God is love.
Time is gravity.
Power is space.
The film Interstellar is not science 'fiction' it is simply something humans haven't done yet according to my measurement of 'time'
What is wrong with my brain why do I think like this? Sometimes I think life would be easier if I just wanted Netflix and weekend barhopping. What is it to exist?
God, are You real?
