I don't know if it was a tactical time weapon to avert MAD or the Texas Superconducting Super Collider that was cancelled in this timeline- but I'm confident that we are in the alternate timeline. How it happened, I don't know- but it did. The SSC was over 3 times more powerful than this timeline's LHC collider at CERN. LHC was able to find Higgs Bosons which give particles mass. I think in the other time the SSC was able to find whatever it is that gives space a time component and also the time anti-particle that annihilates time.
In any case, I don't know how it happened, but I know it did and somehow some information transferred to this time line. Specifically, for me knowledge of a scar that I never had until this week. I remember always having a scar on my right temple, but in this time I've ignored the memory because I've had a lipoma in that spot for years. However, this week I had the lipoma removed and now I'm developing the exact scar and accompanying nerve damage I always remember having. I remember it right on my face, but the growth has kept me distracted.
I think this may also be where the Mandela Effect comes from, because many of the changes people remember occurred around the time that the SSC was canceled and it's funding was redirected to the International Space Station and Space Cooperation with the Russians.

particles dont have time, its not really an aspect of matter. time doesnt really work like that.

Space has time. At some energy level space aquired time, probably at an energy level last seen during the big bang or at the 14 to 15 TeV level. SSC was supposed to go well over 20 TeV. LHC can only get to around 7 when really pushed.

I know I posted on another of your replies but time really does not exist. What we call time is merely measuring things against each other. Any belief in actual time is nothing more than an illusion. Memories are not part of time.

So then distance doesn't exist? As it is a measurement between two things? Time does exist, it is expressed via the measurement between before, now, later; the same as any other measurement.
B3bomber ago
Distance is not time. The thing you refer to as time can be expressed in how many vibrations a hydrogen atom makes against a helium atom for all I care (or the vibrations per second, or per nano second, or per whatever else).

True, but a measurement, none the less - Also, I edited the first post above during your reply - not intentional.

It really is going to be difficult to explain the thing you refer to as time. It literally does not exist. The thing you are calling time is always a measurement of something against something else.
All of it is pretty relative anyway since so much happens that is physically impossible for your own body to actually comprehend. Short version: what you see/touch/hear/smell/taste, is nothing more than a reflection.

I see where your coming from; I was just arguing in the sense of - we can measure it, therefore it is real. As far as we 'know' the arrow of time cannot be reversed, slowed yes.. even stopped?
Reflection? Not sure about that, but I'd go with neuron/electron interactions with the .. matrix? for lack of a better word.
B3bomber ago
Reflection. Something had to run into something else to even set off that neurological response that lead to the perception of whatever it was. It is true we can measure something against something else but that definitely is not time. The thing being measured is the 1st one against whatever the 2nd one is. Measuring it against itself would not yield any useful result.
But time as the concept of something that can be traveled through simply does not exist. It's why a wormhole would work. It can't break rules that don't actually exist. The speed of light itself is also variable (notably for what it passes through and the energy of the photon itself determines how quickly it moves). I'd love to have a little chat about that with Albert Einstein since it isn't the speed of light he should have been writing about.
