if time is relative, then one can perceived to live for ever ,(a fly believes that it lives for a long time)?

Question

for example ,by changing some chemical in human brain

Answer 1

Time, the passing of which waxes human mind so much so often is nothing but the measure by which things can exist. The constant rate by which things can alter their state is time. We observe things grow, decay, change, rust, move, rise and fall. This is the property of matter that it keeps changing. Some changes are too slow for our eye to detect but there are changes, and without change nothing would have ever existed. A close inspection will reveal that underneath a calm and still appearance of every solid object there are atomic particles moving with the lightening speed relative to one another. Noting is still if something were it would not have existed. And the measure of this movement internal and structural, outer and observable is called time. Time in itself is noting but a universal constant by which anything material can ever exist, of change for common sense.

We can perceive the concept of living forever and this is not without a reason. The notion of an eternal life is innate to our mind. In a mystical sense the thought of never dying is very meaningful as a real, or the only real, possibility after a life of contemplation and devotion. Why otherwise should we have an inkling of something that quite simply is out of our world? We can investigate into this by asking ourselves some basic questions, for example: why do we sense time passing? Why do we believe that time is passing over our entire existence, whereas, in a deeper sense, it is not; it is always standing still where we stand to observe? You probably would say - time is passing because I sense it passing, I observe things around me changing with time. This is true, but how can we sense change if we are changing with all things we observe?

We sense heat and cold because we have a fixed body temperature that is our standard for what is hot and what is cold. If this were not the case we would not sense any temperature of any degree of heat. We sense time passing because there is something very innate and essential to us that is fixed and permanent against which all things change. Something that is above and beyond the clutches of time, something that observes our physical being as our world flows ‘forward in time', something that watches over us as we lay scattered over the stretch of the time past, the present and the future – time that we sense as if it were a rapidly moving tumultuous river.

If we try to observe our reality from the viewpoint of our inner eternal self, we can free our perception from the physical constraints of time and space. We can observe the reality of time, and reality of our own existence independently. We can know for real what would it be like if time would stand still as a moment.
If time stands still we will know immediately. We will know that the mad race of our physical reality is off. We who always chased after our selves in the rapids of temporal reality would catch up with our real self, to know forever who we really are. We will enter into a dimension free of time, space, and temporary change - the world of the absolute, as we are now, if we dare to realise.

The other way to look at it is to think extrovertly. If we look around we realise that time is what we observe when things of our physical being around us change and move. All things are essentially energy patterns and they change because they carry extra energy. If we take all the energy out of the universe then all things would come a halt, or all things will collapse into ‘nothingness’. As nothing in the world would move - the cells in our body, electrons round the nuclei, molecules in compounds, planets round stars everything, all at a total halt. The transmission of light will stop so we will not be able to see anything or hear anything. If this happen say for millions years we will not be able to realise it even as a single moment.

But from the viewpoint of our essential inner self we will be able to conceive a change in our physical world as yet another incident in our existence – we will notice instantly. We will at that occurrence be our true self that has been chasing us along to catch up with us as our physical world changed with time. We will experience our eternal existence. We will know that race is off. We will be just ourselves as our absolute reality.

We can enter into a state of timelessness, and therefore without a meanings of special location or position - the absolute reality. For our essential self, time is meaningless, non-applicable, and therefore already at standstill. When we contemplate or engage in doing something mentally absorbing we feel time passing faster. We can find eternity in a single moment of our time because that is there – something that we do not find time to stop and observe.

Answer 2

You can't just think about something being "relative". It has to be relative to something or other. Time is an invention of man--we decided to have this many days be a week and this many weeks be a year, etc. Why are weeks seven days? We made that up from the influence of the Bible. We could have said that weeks are 12 days long.

Time is relative to objects in space, and speed. A year on Pluto is different from a year on Earth. Does that mean people age faster or slower on other planets? Maybe. It makes sense that someone traveling very fast will age slower than people moving "relatively" slower.

As far as human perception goes, as long as there are funerals, people will perceive life to be temporary.

Answer 3

The Watchtower, the big brother of the JW’s that does their thinking for them, taught that God ruled the entire universe from a mysterious place just passed the second star to your right, which wound up to be around the Pleiades star system. Where did they come up with that location? Probably from Job 38:31. “Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades?” Perhaps not, but the Watchtower did try to bind the JW’s to that lie for years. Maybe even Amos 5:8? “He made the Pleiades”. Yet years later the Watchtower waffled again as they now considerd the Pleiades to no longer be the center of the universe (Watchtower 11-15-53, p. 703). “It would be unwise for us to try to fix God’s throne as being at a particular place in the universe”. But that is exactly what they once tried to do so in their own words so would not that make them “unwise”? It would seem that they have a very changeable doctrine. However, “I am the Lord, I do not change” Malachi 3:6. “We ought to obey God rather than men” Acts 5:29.

Answer 4

Einstein shows that the future, the past, and the present are all happening at the same time.
The future can only be seen in the abstract - it has not happened yet. It is only in your head.
The past can only been seen in the abstract - it has already happened. It, too, is only in your head.
Now the present is an infinite small amount of time that exists between the past and the future.
Therefore everything is only an abstract thought with no real substance.

Answer 5

I intend to live forever..and for the last 53 years it has worked with relative ease. I have been around for as long as I can remember.

Answer 6

Yea probably. If you have could control over your mind than you can make your self percieve than forever and that would probably make your life a lot better because your mind is uner the impression it has unlimited time.

Answer 7

think you had better fill up on the chemicals man,think your brain may hold 50 pence worth,anyway just ask them to fill you up.
may be a good idea that you take sixty pence just in case.....good luck

Answer 8

Time is relative but still there are physical laws.

Answer 9

How do you know what a fly thinks?

Answer 10

We do live forever (until we die). Each second is a myth.
