Time Is Relative

Last week in my other blog, www.faithingodministries.net, I mentioned ‘time’ and what it meant to God compared to what it means to us. I am not an expert in that sort of thing nor am I or have I been a scholar in that. I only know what I feel, have read, and can imagine. What I am about to write does not construe whether it is true or untrue and is only a very small piece about time. It is only for you to think and decide for yourself.

               Einstein wrote on ‘relative time’, where he determined that time is relative. In other words, the rate at which time passes depends on your frame of reference. Ahhh, what is meant by that? (My words) things will be perceived differently if sensed in different ways or by different people.

               This phenomenon was experimented with by using clocks. In the lab’s experiment they used a light clock and an atomic clock, the most accurate clocks known. It was found that the faster the clock moved the slower the clock got. One of the examples used was an atomic clock that was stationary on earth, and another was flown in a plane around the earth. When the clocks were together again, they were a fraction of a second apart from each other.

               What made me think of this was last week I wrote that in God’s time a thousand solar years is one solar day to us. Okay, let me think about what has been happening for a long time here on earth and what has been in the news lately. UFOs. If they come from another planet think about the speed used to get here and what about the time it took. Did time stop?  Did time speed up? Did time go back? It all is confusing yet a wonder at the same time.

               NASA want to send man to Mars and other planets. What will the timing be because (to us) the time spent in space getting there is very long. Then think about a light year which is one solar year or 5.88 trillion miles. My mind is numb when they say a star is close with it being four or five light years away and we want to go to that solar system. To me, impossible, but throw in ‘time’ and that would be the unknown variable that could make it possible. On earth we could see the space capsule slowly traveling to the far away star. To the people in the capsule, it could be a very short time when ‘time is relative’ is added to the equation. Is this how the UFOs get here? Worm holes? Space warp? Talking about UFOs is another future blog.

               Last week, what I wrote in www.faithingodministries.net, shows that most of this article melds with that article and vice versa. We point up because Christ rose into the clouds when He left earth. Also, the universe is huge and, from what I have read, is still expanding. How far is it to the end of the universe? Time is relative and time is not on our side. If time is relative, then our present life is not even a flicker, and we better get right quickly and that may not be fast enough. Now I’ll sit back and see the very few commits that I rarely receive.
