i think the chemical reaction would slow down as the molecules slow down with the cooling of temperature, time though is not slowed down.

Yes. but... he slowed down the "ticker" on the time bomb and slowed down the result of the the explosion, so didn't he, in a way, slow down time? the bomb woulda asplodededed like 2 minutes before, so didn't he manipulate time by Means of the ticker? |

haha @ asplodedededed...
ya i think thats just fiction.. unless u can slow down a clock by cooling it down? i dont see how its possible. |

i have to look up bomb squad techniques to see if it's actually possible to do that with the liquid nitro but i dont think the show would use it if it was purely fictional cuz too many people would be like "WHAT! omfg that was, like, teh fakeness.."
ot: i feel like this right now:  |

ok wait nachos, i got another example:
prehistoric man discovered preserved in ice. isn't that an example of manipulating time bc you're slowing down the motion of the mass? in any normal situation, the dude woulda been dust. or it can just be considered manipulating mass-motion. wait.. but by our definition, mass-motion = time, so manipulating mass-motion = manipulating time? :conf: |

freezing something has no effect on time. The only way one could effec time is by moving extremely fast.
TIme- a nonspatial linear continuum wherein events occur in an apparently irreversible order |

giving me a typical textbook/dictionary definition means absolutely nothing if you don't explain it.. |

Time is essentialy created for our own use to be able to describe the position & motions of things in the universe.
If you want to "manipualte time" all you need to do is change the position of something. |

freezing something only changes its state, sure it restricts it from MOTION but is time still passing by? is the earth still revolving around it, are the seasons changing around the thing in the block of ice? yes, therefore something like slowing the ticker in a bomb is only slowing the ticking time in that bomb and not the world around it, which, in the end is central to time (the world and not us).... time is something we cant manipulate, we cant go back or forward in time (yet) and things like watches and calendars, etc., are only attempts at TRANSLATING time to what we can understand, whos to say what we know as a day could be an hour, or on hour really is a month? it is all created by man (this understanding of time) while time itself is something above our influence for the time being, until something like time travel comes along

lmao @ "ma head asplode" (strongbad haha) |

| ^ i like ur point. i seem to have stumbled inadvertently upon something like our own time (time as relative to us) vs. the continuum of time, that general thing that marches on relentlessly... hrm... |
