Time Doesn't Exist? Scientists Say Reality May Be Very Different

Depends.

Time is relative.

At the horizon of a black hole "Time" slows and stops.

Time Space and gravity are all related and part of the same "thing". Your clock on the wall run faster than a clock in the floor. Because of gravity.

Time is really just a way to measure entropy. Tho time is not simply entropy, but entropy defines the "arrow of time," distinguishing the past from the future. While time itself is a fundamental dimension of spacetime, entropy is a thermodynamic measure of disorder that generally increases, giving time its one-way direction.

I consider it a "flow". It's like a wave. We are riding the wave of our flow. We can slow it down by speeding up and speed it up by slowing down. But we cannot make it go backwards. Yet.

Time here on earth is not the same as time on a distant planet. Growing up I had assumed Time is the same everywhere in the Universe. Or basically block Time. It is not. It is relative. Time is relative it is not universal, but depends on an observer's speed and proximity to a gravitational mass, as explained by Einstein's theories of relativity.

"Now" only means something right here. There is no "now" light years from here. Asking what is happening right now in a distant planet is a nonsense question. You can cannot get to "now" light years from here because that is the past because of the distances between us.

Space (Nothing) Time and Matter are all part of the same thing.

And(as I have said before) Nothing Matters!

A lot.

(Without Nothing you could not have Something).

FTA: The number of deaths directly attributed to vitamin K deficiency bleeding appears to be small " fewer than a dozen annually " but has started to climb in recent years, according to death certificate data from federal and state agencies.

This is sad for a few families. Not catastrophic for the nation.

Researchers found in Minnesota, refusal rates rose from 0.9% in 2015 to 1.6% in 2019. In California, Connecticut, and Iowa, refusal ranged from 0.2% to 1.3% in 2018 and 2019, with over half of hospital staff perceiving increases

Oddly, some not-slaves folks involved in slavery did get a bit squeamish about the business. An example that springs to the fore is Thomas Jefferson and his famous "wolf by the ear" letter (
www.loc.gov). Regarding those enslaved, for conflicted Enlightenment thinker and owner of slaves Mr. "We Hold These Truths To Be Self-Evident" himself, it apparently boiled down to "we have the wolf by the ear, and we can neither hold him, nor safely let him go."
