Time

If there is a shortest unit of length (the Planck length) could there also be a shortest unit of time? If so, time would not pass fluidly but as a series of discrete moments, like frames of animation. If hard determinism is also true, then we are essentially characters in a film in which events can only unfold one way. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. (edited)

I think that’s the fundamental premise of numeraticity. What is the smallest distance in which that is not this, and the asymmetry there is the only possible backdrop upon which our brain can recognize time passing. It’s a very cognitive question.

There is a unit called the planck time, which is defined as the amount of time that it takes light to travel a planck length in a vacuum. Given the definitions of both, it is not obvious that anything much can be said about the universe below that time scale.

Is there not some plank time? I always assumed there was. For example there is a highest speed limit. And then there is shortest distance possible. So if we find out how much it takes to move the shortest distance in the highest speed, we will get a time in the middle of which everything stays at the same place. So I think there should be? But I don't know.

I'm a sucker for collecting rocks and since I'm studying environmental science this was an EPIC find. A piece of very heavy basalt. From where I found it, the only location it could've come from would've been a 3 million year old magma sill in South Wales. It has tiny pyrite crystals in it if you... read more

So with the advancements in medical research, we can extend human life by 2030 and eventually regenerate cells to keep people at their prime. If we also have the tech to modify our names with gene editing to make ourselves taller, would we just become the elves from lotr?
