Clocks arent moved by time they are moved by space if theres no space a clock cant move

What is this supposed to mean?

If there's no time, a clock is useless. Contribute something to the discussion or don't take part.

I think his question was more along the lines of, how do we know what the opening of a wormhole looks like? If it even looks like anything.

Uhm... Time is measured by the Suns movement wich cant move if the Sun doesnt have any space to move in, sooo clocks are moved by space.

He used the word "specify", so I interpreted in the most sensical way. As for actually detecting the openings, well, you know where they are to start with. It's like asking how you know where the protons end up in a particle accelerator. Well, it's all in the design of the machine.

Uhm... still makes no sense whatsoever. And time is measured by atomic decay, actually.

Doesnt matter time is an illusion anyway

Doesn't time become somewhat real when we start counting the times the earth is orbiting the sun?

you cannot say that a clock is moved by space alone nor can you say it is time alone. this is why it is referred to as time-space (or time/space). the fact is without the two working together everything would cease to exist. If time was alone, there would be nothing it was measuring thus it would cease to exist. If space alone existed, everything would be yet to be created and infinitely old all at once, thus ceasing to exist. so the two being separated on any account is a scientific impossibility.

You don't know what you're talking about. Time and space are dimensions, not substances.

I know they are dimensions, four out of six dimensions to be precise. I did not intend to say the were substances. If you're referring to the part about them being separated, dimensions can commonly stop being with another. in fact, though not really accepted as real dimensions, scientists theorize that there are an infinite supply of microscopic dimensions. This is actually something that a particle accelerator could prove, although not a main goal.

No, most modern clocks run on batteries. They need space and time to exist in, not to be moved by.

I think his point was the clock wouldn't move in space... Whether it needs batteries or not, it won't click over in space.

Correct?

I still don't get it.

I thought I heard this a long time ago, whether it's true or not..

I haven't finished building my spaceship...

I didn't watch the video, but, how would you know where the other side of the wormhole is? I mean, what if you came out in the middle of a star lol? Would you even be able to see through the wormhole or what might it look like?

Nevermind I did watch, I've seen that episode before. It's a show called The Universe on the history channel. One time I smoked some pot and I watched that episode there, and it blew my mind. It was so amazing at the time I had to change the channel lol.
