@holon42
So it's just a matter of perspective...
Need a better compound time elapse equation?
@damselfly59 it's all relative, yes, so that would enhance understanding, but the details will forever transcend our narrow windows of perception, so we never can encompass "whatever" in concepts. plus, the evidence indicates that everything "out there" is intimately connected, so as an entirety "it's" forever beyond our scientific reach.
in other words, possible knowledge and explorations will never end. hooray ✌🏾👍🏼😎
@damselfly59 pace Einstein, this doesn't mean that "the moon" disappears when you're not looking at it.
everything is process. taking a measurement is one process taking a "snapshot" of another process—what gets measured is the interaction at that "moment" in spacetime, never to be identically repeated. (logical identity is a convenient fiction.) so, "the moon" or "Jupiter" you saw and measured was just a moment of a mooning process, not an unchanging object, it's a construct regularizing change
