How is NOBODY talking about this

Quantum mechanics

Every fundamental force has a corresponding gauge boson particle iirc

62

They lyin’ bro, there are no particles of gravity, it’s just movement.
You can’t find a particle of time.

63

well they’ve always been highly theorized for decades to exist since quantum theory has explained most phenomena pretty well so I guess it was bound to happen at some point

64

time isn’t a real concept that’s just genuinely manmade

time doesn’t exist

65

Um, okay, is my first dog alive? No? Well he was alive in the past, so why don’t I just be in the past?

66

i was gonna argue against this, but i guess since space and time are both just concepts and gravity is the curvature of spacetime it also is just a concept

i’d call it a physics magic though since i think it’s cooler and doesn’t make it sound like it doesn’t exist

67

time “exists” but it’s not fundamentally real

Well, you can’t touch it, you can’t measure it, you can’t see it, but you can measure gravity. Hm…

69

look at the source, this is space propaganda trying to convince people time isn’t real
can’t trust anything on the internet now smh my head

70

well until they find the chronoton particle then time is a manmade construct almost entirely

gravity has technically been explainable for decades and can be measured. There’s even an established particle for it

71

here’s kind of an interesting thought experiment, if everything just… suddenly stopped moving in the universe, photons froze completely still as the universe became cloaked in darkness as everything just mysterious halted to a complete standstill… would time be considered… frozen? or is time still technically moving forwards

and when everything suddenly resumes, did time remember?

72

space and time are just supposed to be the backdrops of the universe, what would a particle for them even do?

73

jesse what the fuck are you talking about jesse

74

since space and time are relative, if nothing is moving or happening at all then time would either be frozen or just not exist at all i believe

75

Can we take a moment to appreciate how a conversation about some lego woman’s superpowers transformed into a super metaphysical discussion about the nature of time and space itself and how the universe works on a quantum level

76

The forums works in mysterious ways

78

let’s move to ranking flag designs next

what the hell is this SCP breach type of shit :sob:

As a minor physics nerd I can probably explain it

Time counts as a different dimension to space, not as the pop culture definition, but as length width height. We are being inexorably pushed forward in time for one reason or another (probably entropy), meaning there’s no time particles, just as there isn’t a particle for empty space. Gravity on the other hand, is one of the 4 fundemengal forces of the universe, which all have a mediating particle (example, electromagnetism has the photon), the thing is, we haven’t seen the mediating particle for gravity, and if we try to implement it into our equations, things spiral out of control. Therefore whether or not gravity has a mediating particle or is just a special snowflake is unknown.

Thank you for coming to my yapping session

TLDR: gravity is a force, time isn’t.
