Time Has A Distance?

[Anonymous No.5020313]

So I was looking at an analog clock, and I measured the distance between the sec/min tickmarks at 0.8 mm. First, I wondered if there was some sort of standard that set that distance between those ticks at 0.8 mm? Then I thought if a "second" is 0.8 mm, than a minute is 48 mm, and an hour is 2.88 m or approximately 9.45 feet. Or something

Yeah so?

Sort of, check up on radians, Angular Velocity, and Radial Velocity.

If you measured this on a different clock you'd get different results.

You need to look up circular motion.

[Anonymous No.5020368]

did you measure the distance at the inner or outer end of the tick marks?

That's correct OP! Time travels faster on the farther end of the second hand! If you think of the sun as the centre of a giant clock, time travels faster on Mars than it does on Earth. So you wouldn't age as quickly on Mars! They call it Tesla theory, after Nicola Tesla, the man who discovered that Alternating current through a wire causes quantum exclusion which changes time around the wire based on the frequency. They sent Curiosity to Mars to test Tesla theory.

Really. I hope you didn't actually do this.

A clock is not time. A clock is a machine driven by the predictable electrical oscillations of a crystal that guides the motion of gears. The gears move one tick every second or something. That's all that matters. You can ratio up or down the gears to get any size clock you want, but they will still rotate/ratchet/whatever every chosen unit of time.

The distance between tick marks is essentially arbitrary because it's still driven by gears with 60 or 12 teeth (or whatever, however many you want for various levels of accuracy) that rotate once a minute/hour/day. The drive an arm that can be any length you need.

Nice try, but no.

I'm glad you took the time to take some measurements in order to learn something. So in this case your hypothesis was refuted and you learned something about clocks! Keep doing more experiments! Keep posting on /sci/!

If you are a troll, then good copypasta.

If you look at it in radians then the clock finger must make a full rotation in one hour. The angle is fixed and the distance is related to the radius of the clock.

6.5/10 for effort

distance is speed times time, congratufuckinglations.

[Anonymous No.5021200]

measure the distance a beam of light has traveled...

divide by C... get the time it took.

[Anonymous No.5021273]

It might not be the same distance away from each other, but the tick makes on every clock would be the same degrees. so a second could be 6 degrees

You were doing really well, but you should have stopped at "they call it tesla theory," after that you went too far.

OP's post was 9/10 though
