What keeps time from slowing down, stoping, or speeding up?

Question

Is there a time law or something?

OBAMA 08- MAKE SURE YOU GO AND VOTE

Answer 1

Time as a whole has nothing against which we could measure any change in the rate of its passing.  Your question is fundamentally flawed.  The rate at which time flows for observers moving with respect to each other differs, but I doubt you are talking about relativity.

Answer 2

being straight edge.

Answer 3

Maybe it does but how would you know? Suppose there were someone who could observe you and this someone was outside the confines of our universe so that he could notice such things as time slowing or speeding by his own clock. But to you a second is still a second whether it take one second or one hour or one year on this other guys clock. So time could be doing all sorts of screwy things but we will never know. Kind of weird huh?

vote? no thank you. one smarmy main stream political party politician is the same as any other. do you really think that this obama guy will make any sort of a change? at least he probably won't be groping interns in the oval office as billy boy did or inventing pretexts worthy of a Hitler (although bush is strictly bush league compared to the H man and nowhere near as intelligent) to use as an excuse for invading other countries. But it is pointless to try and change someone's opinion when they are the product of a US school system brainwash followed up by mainstream "news" media that merely reinforces the whole rotten system. If my evaluation of your critical thinking and reasoning abilities is unfounded I will say that I am sorry. But you will have to prove it to me.

Answer 4

How would you know if it did? If all the clocks in the universe suddenly slowed down, so would your body's "clock" and, therefore, the rate at which you think. It would not be something that could be observed, and is, therefore, a meaningless concept.

Answer 5

It depends on gravitation. Greater the gravitation = slower the time, but its relative and thus it does not changes for observers positioned in gravitation field. Concerning mathematical explanation I cant help you, sry...
