Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 76705528 United States 12/07/2019 11:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You have to train yourself to dream. I trained on my own all throughout the 80's and I suck now in comparison to what I could bring forth now in some ways. But the times have changed. The secret is that you have to have an hour or so in the morning to write them down in an abbreviated style that you can use years later. I do not do that now. I do not need to. Eventually you get to the point that you can remember more than you can put to paper. This post was never put to paper. Its just the best I can do right now to remember it and I know some things were lost. But I used to be able to remember everything and that is a burden and sometimes literally beautiful. That is the Rubicon when I realized that I dream 24/7 no matter if I am awake, or asleep. No pro-active dreamer can write it all down and very few people can write it on paper when they are awake when still in the dream state. I only take the highlights now and that is pretty rare now. Its more integrated into my daily life now. We live dual lives even if you do not remember your dreams at all. I will teach you something. Imagine practicing to remember all of your dreams if you are on an 8 hour sleep cycle. If you just perfect that you would need at least 16 hours to write down your dreams and also your commentary on said dreams to make it useful. That is kind of where I stopped, because one has to eat and pretend in reality to survive. Only if you are very rich and pampered could any person do this past the teen years if you have the gift. But it is a thing and is real from my perspective. I still take it very seriously and I have not even had a lucid dream in over 20 years. But I have had a few. Only authors of fiction maybe could just spend all their time writing down their dreams and make books from it all. That is the only way that it might happen and thus entertainment that we have to wade through for no reason at all. One can entertain his or her self actually. |

There are many angles we could take from it, but the fact is that painters are already replaced. Dent pullers, probably not yet. But that is coming faster than you want. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77079465 I am certainly NOT claiming original thinking here. I know that I am being shown something that actually exists. So it would not surprise me that Star Trek addressed the situation at hand. Thx for your comment. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 76705528 United States 12/08/2019 10:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I did not see a stop watch being used. I did not see anything being used to stop it. I was guessing at how they stop the thing. Cutting power just makes sense. I think they could just have a switch you know? A stop watch makes sense I suppose especially after longer durations, but I suspect it is more of a code thing than a old school thing. Maybe some of both as tech advanced. Doing it with a cron job might be more precise. It might have had brakes or a transmission of some sort originally. I dunno. Now, I suspect that it is via code. Run cycle to the precise second. But even then, power loss could do the same thing while a backup generator winds up. Great insight. |

Morass has been part of English for centuries, and in its earliest uses it was a synonym of swamp or marsh. (That was the sense Robert Louis Stevenson used when he described Long John Silver emerging from "a low white vapour that had crawled during the night out of the morass" in Treasure Island.) Imagine walking through a thick, muddy swamp—it's easy to compare such slogging to trying to disentangle yourself from a sticky situation. By the mid-19th century, morass had gained a figurative sense, and could refer to any predicament that was as murky, confusing, or difficult to navigate as a literal swamp or quagmire. Trump picking the term Swamp is apt. If he picked it. |

The problem is basically the same as with the grandfather paradox, although the impact is of course less severe. Classification: random time shifts, without visible consequences That one basically fits. Going from 3 seconds to 1 minute fits very well within that episode. I am not familiar with the Grandfather paradox. I will look into that l8r. |

But if you pause that, time is still moving forward at the speed of light. And when you unpause, you're saying that the entry of time gets drawn slightly backwards to fill that gap in reality for the X amount of time it paused? |
