The earth travels at 67,100 miles per hour and in an orbit around the sun. We don't hurdle through the universe because of the sun's gravity. If the sun were to suddenly disappear, we would not break orbit until 11 minutes after the sun disappeared. Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Not even gravity. So after the eleven minutes, then earth would hurtle away in a straight line and we'd be dead.

If the earth stopped moving, which isn't possible, time would probably speed up. I will try to explain why time slows down when you speed up:

Imagine a cylinder that has only a top and bottom, or if it makes it easier, a glass cylinder, but the glass can be penetrated. The cylinder has a mirror on either end and contains a particle of light bouncing up and down off the two mirrors. One bounce of the particle of light = one second. Now when you move the cylinder, the particle of light (assume the light can travel through the glass sides of the cylinder) has a further distance to travel to hit the other mirror. The faster you move the cylinder, the further the particle of light has to travel. If the light has to travel further, but remember it is still only one second per bounce off the mirror, the only way this can be explained is that time slows down as you travel faster.

So if time slows when you speed up, I suppose it is safe to assume that if we stop moving time would speed up to infinity.

However, I’m not really sure about that, and I doubt there is any way to prove it either way.

What isn't tangible?

All that happens is your time slows down in comparison to others. Everything still goes on as normal.

If you travel into the future, its not like those things haven't happened, they are happening in the present.

If you travel for one minute, and that equals one hour on earth, you have traveled 1 hour into the future, but it was one hour on the earth. Things stil happened people were murdered banks were robbed and people had sex. It all has to do with the conception of time.

we kind of are hurlding through the universe, becua seth esun isn't stationary... well hurdling isn't a proper word, but the sun is moving rapidly and we're moving relatively rapidly around it. But you're right, time wouldn't stop if the earth somehow stopped.... i'm glad you know your stuff ninty9.
rock:

animal mother, you seem to have this idea that time doesn't exist just because you can't touch it.... what's between when you're old and winkley and how you are right now.... time. and it proven to be related to light.

Yah its like the theory of the really fat guy. He can't touch or see his penis but it is still there.

exactly

TIME DOESNT EXIST.
ITS A MEASURMENT.
get that throught your stupid emo skull

if its a measurement.... what is it a measurement of.... you ignored that question earlier, for it has no answer. time can be measured, and it is in seconds, minutes, years...

i see we've gotten you down to insulting.... always happens when you have an argument based on nothing.... gg

For example
Time measures
Point A to Point B
Subject A to Subject B

[quote="Animal Mother":03889]For example
Time measures
Point A to Point B
Subject A to Subject B[/quote:03889]
that doesn't meaure anything.... so between you and me write now is time?
oh... you mean a point in time to another point in TIME

Like measure the time it takes to travel from point a to point b

[quote="Animal Mother":0dac5]Like measure the time it takes to travel from point a to point b[/quote:0dac5]
so TIME is a measurement of TIME? ooooooohhh
annoy:

As stated before, just because you can't touch something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

And your right. It's a measurement. It's the same as height, length and depth.

Your not traveling "through" it per-say, you are simply warping a fourth dimension, or one time dimension if you don't believe time is the fourth dimension.

Think about this.
According to his site he was born in 1998
That would mean he is 5.
What if Little john saw big johns site, Little John then Dies 2 seconds later, leaving the site on his screen.
Would the site exist?
