I wish I was listless. Every time I get home there's one waiting for me.

What is real? I have given much thought to this question over many years. Presently, I tend towards the view that nothing at all is "real" in the sense that most people understand, everything is just some weird illusion. I mean, are you a real poster? Do you even exist? I don't think so. If you can prove that time is not a pure illusion then I will tell you the answer.

Ha FA caught you out keeping your alternative world philosophy up your sleeve in this alternative reality. the question should perhaps be which alternative realities is this bloke in, real unreal surreal a clothes real or even a reality tv show?

I seem to recall some realities where he predicted major signings, and others where he was poo at it. Ah well, what goes round is round.

Let then all debate the true reality, I'd rather see the world the way it used to be. So, catch me if you can, I'm going back.

I'm Mick Gledhill.
And so is my wife.

At the moment, the nonsense he's spouting, I'd guess reel from a significant punch to the head.

But here's the thing: the faster you go the shorter the distance to where you're going. So at light speed, the distance to anywhere in the universe is Nil. Light travels all around the universe, at light speed, (well, duh) so every photon is by definition everywhere at the same time and it must be a pure illusion which our brains create that light "goes" anywhere, to make some sense of our "reality", because there is actually nowhere to go.

The Big Bang is probably just part of our fake reality, then, as really every one of our atoms must all be in the same point in space, and so the big bang might seem real to us, but in truth nothing ever exploded.

As a result, we must be joint top with Leigh, if all our atoms occupy the same place.

A fascinating theory. How come it gets dark at night then?

Suspect the theory won't come through any peer review unscathed..

Erm ... Forgive my underdevelopment in this theoretical analysis but as we cannot travel at said light speed, we dont know what is at the end of it .. as far as travelling. Do we?

Fascinating though ....

Course we do. Old Einstein figured it all out, and every single test has only confirmed the old boy's theory. We perfectly understand how time slows with increase in speed, and while we cannot (yet) travel at light speed, communications to fast moving GPS satellites can - and do; the clocks on the GPS satellites do not run at Earth rate, but run slower than clocks on Earth. Because relative to clocks on the ground, they are travelling much faster.

The amount by which they run slower is calculated by the theory of relativity. What you need to do is calculate how much their extra speed will slow down their local time; then set their clocks to run that bit faster than "normal". Until it appears, viewed from Earth, that their clocks are ticking at the same rate as our clocks.

If they didn't do this, GPS wouldn't work properly. Granted, as in relative terms, the increase in speed is tiny, the time dilation is minuscule - but is real, is as predicted, and you prove the fact of time dilation each time you use your SatNav.

When Omari Caro sprinted down the field, as a result of that run, he is an infinitesimal (but precisely calculable) amount of time younger, relative to the spectators, than he would have been had he not made that run.

It's a remark, not a theory! I'm not about to write a thesis. But if you were a photon, "travelling at the speed of light, then the distance to anywhere in the Universe IN THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL is Nil. Fact. Cos Albert said so.
