"The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title."

Time on earth is measured by the earth's rotation around the sun what if you are on a planet that takes 9 earth days to rotate around the sun?

It is just.. the days are very short by our standards :P_P8: |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 70064009 United States09/29/2017 04:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Physicists have announced their fourth-ever detection of gravitational waves, and the first such discovery made together by observatories in Europe and the United States. Quoting: Face Palmer The Virgo observatory near Pisa, Italy, has been hunting for ripples in the fabric of space-time since 2007. But it was being upgraded at the time of the historic first detection of gravitational waves by the twin laboratories of Virgo’s US cousin, the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), and was also out of action for two subsequent sightings. Virgo rejoined the hunt this year on 1 August, following a 5-year, €23-million (US$27-million) upgrade. And on August 14, both it and LIGO picked up the spiral of a pair of rotating black holes, with masses of 31 and 25 times that of the Sun, as they merged together, physicists announced on September 27 at a press conference in Turin, Italy. The collision happened around 550 million parsecs (1.8 billion light years) away. Observing the event with three detectors, rather than LIGO’s two, allowed researchers to dramatically increase the accuracy with which they can pinpoint the location and distance of the merging black holes. [link to www.scientificamerican.com (secure)] So they think they detected gravity millions of parsecs away, but can't detect them here on Earth?  |

Quoting: jake Time on earth is measured by the earth's rotation around the sun what if you are on a planet that takes 9 earth days to rotate around the sun? Times existed before we kept track of it. It is recorded in fossils, they age, we age, the planet ages due to time. Who in their right mind would want to stop time with this planet in the shape it is in and how we treat each other? |
