My theory on length

[Popcorn Sutton]

My theory states that time is the length between two point. If there is no length, there is no time. Is that a contradiction? If so, why?

 

I'll have to look into Lorentz equation, but it seems to be consistent with my observations.

Split. OT for a QM thread, and hijacking since it's a personal theory. Popcorn, this needs to stop.

I didn't mean to be personal about it, it's widely accepted that things have length.

 

And to prove myself wrong, you can find things without length in time, but it's only found at the beginning, never from within the entire sequence... computationally, time being a string.

I think you're right... I think that distance is meaningless except as a measurement of relationships between events, which are separated by information traveling at c, and so any non-zero time could consistently be associated with a non-zero length, but I don't think it could be proven.

I doubt that either of us are conveying meaning precisely enough to have a useful conversation though... :S
