Is a second infinite?

Time is merely but a reference, it helps our bodies prepare for certain events and keeps a schedule going non-stop, solitary confinement or "the hole" is made to trick the body you take away time and light and the body does not know how to react.
Time in necessary but not existent.

 

Pun intended?

I believe that a second is NOT infinite. There are not an infinite amount of numbers between 0 and 1. Or more accurately, perhaps, 1 and 0. There may be an infinite of comprehendable numbers between 1 and 0, but there is not an unending sequence of existing numbers in that space of time, or there would be no existing time sequence labeled as the period 1 and 0.

 

There is an infinite amount of numbers in between 1 and 0. We don't want to get so complicated as to continue creating more numbers, so we just call it infinity.

 

you know thats very interesting but buy the time you read this the second is OVER!

 

Please don't spam the intelligent board.

 

Isn't (1.1,1.00000001,1.0000000000000000000001), not between 1-0? but over 1? lol.

Soz didn't read everyone's comment but i didn't get it.

But that just what i saw, more then 1.

 

I agree; time logically shouldn't be "real"

 

im gonna answer this without reading the thread lol...a countdown reaches zero because when you count down by whole numbers, you are simply skipping the infinite amount of more specific values, you are moving accross them all at once. you are in essence questioning the ability of your fingers to type (lol) the distance becomes infinitismally smaller. also, i recall something about planck time...smallest amount of time measurable (theoretically) according to quantum mechanics. its the amount of time it takes light in a vacuum to move over a planck distance.

MAN this topic is getting interesting thank you MENSA or i wouldnt understand this lol...

in all honesty time doesn't exist, we just use events as reference points. Time is no different than length. length doesnt exist, just represents distance.

your reaching one of my favorite topics, one of the many holes in math. a repeating decimal that cannot be shown as a fraction. when i brought this up to my 8th grade math teacher her response was that .9 reapeating is so close to one that it is one >.< bs, saying 9 repeating is 1 is no more accurate than saying 2 + 2 = 5
