re: Like a time bubble?
Michael Gmirkin — (archived)

More of an inquirer than a teacher, though I've had my moments...

I don't know if "time bubble" is the right expression or not, or even makes sense. I was just thinking geometrically. And equating with the formula for the surface area of a sphere: 4*Pi*(R^2)

Except in this case, we had T instead of R. So, I was just trying to imagine what that might mean. Probably nothing. I mean the surface area of a sphere, where the radius is a measure of time? If I thought other thing were confusing... That just seems, in retrospect, odd. Not even sure what that would mean.

And if time dilation is true, then time isn't a fixed unit, and the geometry could change if time dilates? That seems weird too.

And as I recall, we were dividing mass by 4Pi(/T^3), so I suppose one could more simply say it was more like an analogue the change in the change in the change in mass over time. (Kg/4*Pi) * (1/T) * (1/T) * (1/T)

But does that make any more sense? Probably not. But who knows.

I guess I just like weird challenging questions... Heh. Even if they go nowhere, they can be amusing.

Cheers.
