Tea? (Part 1)

[LordoftheTeapot]

Tea and cake at 3 am? Good god man, do you never sleep?

[Yawns, rolls over and goes back to sleep]

[domtyler]

Hmm, well it is twelve hours later and I'm getting thirsty. Is that offer of tea still there lottp?

 

[LordoftheTeapot]

Made an extra large pot, Domtyler. Plus Sally supplied the home made cake today

 

[domtyler]

Mmmm yummy, lovely cake, please be kind enough to pass on my compliments.

This is getting more complex.

I ascertained the correct time of the clock (here in Worcestershire) and it was 16.20. I then entered this thread to see if anyone had replied to my previous request, and they had - but at 17.01. Yes, absolutely definately 17.01. Yes I have synchronised my watch, read my signature.

Then I had to log in. It was at this point that the space time continuum collapsed and messages returned to their correct time. This anomally is difficult to observe twice in succession, because now I am logged in, I am obviously in a different time warp. Dom Tyler is also affected, though he does not say which (paralell) universe he is posting from. Time is moving at a exponential rate where ever he is. If this is extrapolated, he will be in next week before we have got up tomorrow. How are you going to make sure his tea stays hot, and the cakes do not go stale?

Lord of the Tea Pot, we need your expertise urgently. But I think it is going to take more than a teapot to remedy this spontaneously unequilibriumised time fault.

This is getting more complex.

I ascertained the correct time of the clock (here in Worcestershire) and it was 18.44. I then entered this thread to see if anyone had replied to my previous request, and they had - but at 13.29. Yes, absolutely definitely 13.29. Yes I have synchronised my watch, read my lips.

Then I had to log in. It was at this point that the space time continuum collapsed and messages returned to their correct time. This anomaly is difficult to observe twice in succession, because now I am logged in, I am obviously in a different time warp. I think Speicher is also affected, though she does not say which (parallel) universe she is posting from. Time is moving at a exponential rate where ever she is. If this is extrapolated, she will be in next week before we have got up tomorrow. How are you going to make sure her tea stays hot, and the cakes do not go stale?

Lord of the Tea Pot, we need your expertise urgently. But I think it is going to take more than a teapot to remedy this spontaneously disequilibriumated time fault.

Thank you Dom Tyler for your post at 1801 which I received at 1730.

This morning, I will be venturing further into the outer reaches of the wildnerness of Worcestershire, as far west as Malvern. You cannot go much further west and remain in Worcestershire. Under present confusications, I dare not venture into another quadrant err county.

I will be relying heavily on my super cascadising gps. I hope that the relevant satellites are not affected disproportionately to the time schism that we are experiencing. I need to be there for 19.30, and cannot work my E. D. T. It remains to be seen which day or week I return. I propose to essay communication with expediency when (if I return.

 

[Slowgrind]

Ah! Tea and cake! YUMMMMMMMMMMM!

 

[Dayvo]

There seems to be a lot of repitition on this thread!

Speicher - take care. Don't go over the Hill. They talk all funny over there and clocks are deemed to be the work of satan (even if there is a time rift in the fabric of space).

But they do make an excellent cup of Tea

 

[domtyler]

Are we now in yesterday, today or tomorrow? This is so confusing!!

 

[col]

Before i got home it was yesterday,now im here its tomorrow,but today too.Mmmm wheres that pot of tea?

One view is that time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe, a dimension in which events occur in sequence, and time itself is something that can be measured. This is the realist's view, to which Sir Isaac Newton subscribed, and hence is sometimes referred to as Newtonian time.

A contrasting view is that time is part of the fundamental human intellectual structure (together with space and number) within which we sequence events, quantify the duration of events and the intervals between them, and compare the motions of objects. In this second view, time does not refer to any kind of entity that "flows", that objects "move through", or that is a "container" for events, and even might be said to not exist. This view is in the tradition of Gottfried Leibniz and Immanuel Kant, in which time, rather than being an objective thing to be measured, is part of the measuring system used by humans.

In physics, time and space are considered fundamental quantities (i.e. they cannot be defined in terms of other quantities because other quantities – such as velocity, force, energy, etc – are already defined in terms of them). Thus the only definition possible is an operational one, in which time is defined by the process of measurement and by the units chosen.

Periodic events and periodic motion have long served as standards for units of time. Examples are the apparent motion of the sun across the sky, the phases of the moon, the swing of a pendulum, heartbeats, etc. Currently, the unit of time interval (the second) is defined as a certain number of hyperfine transitions in Cesium atoms (see below).

Time has long been a major subject of science, philosophy, and art. Its measurement has occupied scientists and technologists, and was a prime motivation in astronomy. Time is also of significant social importance, having economic value ("time is money") as well as personal value, due to an awareness of the limited time in each day and in human lifespans.

Pheww ! I need a cuppa and a dunkable !!

Run that by me again?

I Need another cuppa now !!!
