    I have time to figure it out. Why don't you? It's not rocket science, but simply multiplication.

    Do you have paper? A pencil? Do you know how many seconds are in a minute, etc? Do you know how to multiply?

    60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day. If you can't go from there then I don't know what to say and if you are in school this better not be a school problem.

    You asked the question about energy. It was well-stated, well-thought out. I don't understand this current question, a third-grade one. Are you having a bit of fun at our expense? (Your nasty comment tells me you are.)

    A simple 86400 would have done fine.

    So, we are supposed to give you the answers to every question you have? That's an easy question that anyone good at multiplication would have known.

    And your answer should be 86400 seconds, not 86400 alone :rolleyes:

    You yourself are losing your time. Why did you sign in, and type the question while I'm sure other people would have the time to do 10 multiplications like the one you just did.

    You never lose time, time is continuous. I have all the time I need.

    IN fact you continually lost time as I type this, but if you lost it doing nothing productive, I believe it's a waste.

    Surely it's relative, surely time is more complicated than that, but until those things are fully explained, I'll stick to what I know about.

    How do you lose time? It doesn't go anywhere but behind you.

    If you never lost it... then take it back, use it again and again! How many people would like to grab the time right behind them but without success. Up to now, there is only speculation of people who thought about how it would be if they could go back and use the time in a better way than they did.

    Don't think about time as a line, think of it as a plane. It expands in every direction and in every dimension. IF you say you "lost" time, your saying that it went somewhere else, it didn't go anywhere. We're the one's moving through time.

    That's how you think about it, and it's different from how I imagine it to be.

    Following your logic, can someone go in another direction in time? Since it's a plane, we should be able to go along every direction. Yet, everything seems to be following only one direction in time.

    Everything in time starts at a center point and has a pre-set path that can go in any direction. Once you start you can't stop, and once you pass the distance you can't go back, but it's still there. Just behind you.
