Your responses are quite clear to me even though I do not understand very much about what is being said. I wish I had more formal education in my background.

About the measurement of time : It is possible to travel either way along the other dimensions of space like the X/Y/Z axises but with time you only travel in a single direction so I was just wondering if time was a real thing or in reality, possibly, we are simply measuring something else when we use time like Entropy. But then that must be silly too because Entropy never goes backward either. I understand Entropy to be the natural tendency of everything to go from order to disorder and even if you try to bring order about you can not do so without increasing the entropy.
Entropy is responsible for everything that happens. Without the differences in shift between order and disorder nothing would ever happen.
Is any of this understanding correct ?

Also, the sun is slowly increasing in intensity so in a few hundred million years the surface of the Earth will be too hot to sustain human or any other life as we know it and this time is much shorter than one billion years as we hear normally on TV.
Humanity/life in general, is doomed long before the Sun ends its life and becomes a red giant.

if the ether is expanding and we are moving in it then there will be no relative velocity between the ether and ourselves so it would not be a measrable thing to see us move through it.
I sometimes imagine there is absolute vacuum outside our known universe and it seems normal to me that our universe would expand into that vacuum and no special dark forces are needed to keep the universe accelerating into its expansion and eventual heat death.

I can imagine we are a small hot universe imbedded within an incredably cold and dark one with occasional eruptions of big bangs like seemes to have created our own. But in no way do I see or can imagine the presence of any divine intervention in the workings of anything. It seems to me that with the laws of physics just about anything can happen without any intelligence guiding things.
I can not imagine a physics major maintaining any real belief in any kind of God as religious folks think of him.
We all are just sort of the condensations of the physical reality and we shall come and go possibly oscillating between life and death through all eternity.
Each life being totally isolated from the previous.

When I look at you I see myself at some other place and time and when you look at me you see yourself at some other place and time and that is all there really is to the universe.

Not trying to sound too silly here but it must sound silly to you folks.
The average person shakes there head and pushes me into the nuthouse when I talk this way in person.

Thanks for your comments and answers, they help me to think straighter.

Being no physics major I really find it interesting that what you say is so believable. There are other questions I have also...probably only limited by my imagination...My math does not really go past high school algebra/trig...So please do not get too heavy in math. I understand that men have studied trying to find some kind of "Ether" sort of like there are sound waves in air that EM waves are nothing more then a disturbance of the Ether. Possibly the EM wave itself is the Ether they look for the reason you do not normally see it is that it is in a kind of equilibrium??? Also the speed of light represents some kind of equilibrium point...possibly one dimension is missing with light...the dimension of time ???? Can you please comment on this too. Is it possible to use light one photon at a time...like could you make a radar that sends out a single photon which bounces off a mirror someplace or is one photon too small to see with our instrumentation or to difficult to produce ?
On the question of universal Entropy...how does entropy affect EM waves ?
My questions are very disjointed I know I have no direction in my learning at this time.Totally informal & Undirected, I guess you might say Philistine...Philistinian this does more for me then for you.
Thank You for your time.

My knowledge of Physics does not go past Physics 111/112 so the questions I ask probably do seem silly to yall, but light has been interesting to me since I first learned intelligence could be relayed through what seems to be nothingness. One idea I can not get out of my head is that a light wave oscillates between the E field and B field so that it does not exist as both fields simultaneously sort of like the E field represents the potential energy and the B field represents the kinetic similar to what happens in a pendulum.
If this be true then is it possible to intercept the wave when it is only a B field or only an E field ??? Is it possible to intercept the wave when it crosses zero so you see nothing at all ???
When light is polarized which field is being stopped the E or B ???

Just some questions for those more "in tune" with reality.

Thanks;

This is most probably getting off the subject at hand but is it possible to stretch a photons wavelength so that it becomes a DC kind of value and if so how would that be possible ?
That red shift of distant galaxies might not simply be a doppler shift it might also be some sort of decay at work ??
Given enough time and space at what point would the red shift turn into a DC value ?

I understand the primary cruncher program is supposed to download automatically when you register LHC@Home with BOINC but in my case this did not happen. I have successfully installed three other projects. Am I doing something wrong or is Sunday a day for rest with LHC ???
