Theory about time and why it 'is' on earth.
In the ' can you stop time' topic I saw this:

If you want to slow down time, simply build a really fast space rocket- the faster it goes, the slower time will become to people in the rocket compared with people standing still on Earth. it's called time dilation and it gives you a one-way ticket into the future. some people on the old MIR spacestation 'time travelled'1/50th of a second into the future, because their timewas slower than on Earth's- awesome!!!
I allready knew that in space shuttles the atom-clock is allways a few miliseconds behind, so going really fast does influence how fast time ' passes' . But for some reason, an idea just shot into my head after reading it, so I guess I owe it the dude to quote him ^__^
It made me think: The world moves contantly. The earth turns. The earth revolts around the sun. The sun around the milkey-way-core. The milky-way is just one of many, that maybe allso all move around something.
So doesn't that influence time, like speed influces time abord space shuttes ? Isn't time just here on earth becouse we all move at incredible speeds?
Maybe at the center of the universe, the central turning point, time would be standing still.
Like an old LP (sort of a big CD :) ), in the middle it doesn't turn. (kind of. This is like a 2d thing descreibing the 4th demension. Time.)
Maybe time really is a 4th demension in the way that it is 'created' by the turning of the universe :-0
:D I love this theory. I gotta write a book about it
