A pentagon is a five-sided polygon. All pentagons have five sides and five interior angles that add up to 540 degrees. Regular pentagons have five equal sides and five equal interior angles, each measuring 108 degrees. Additionally, pentagons have five lines of symmetry and can be rotated 72 degrees without changing their appearance

I have fallen victim: Enjoy Read it all There are 8 billion people in the world, and you are one of them You are nice enough and special because you are my friend, which is why I am sending this to you I want good things to happen to you, so read this...... Now that you have read the beginning, you can't get out of this You will get a new phone this year You will get your dream pet this Christmas Everyone will love you Send this to 15 people in an hour If you ignore this, you will get bad luck for the next three years You will struggle with your grades next year This is not fake. A girl ignored this last year, and it all happened to her You will forward this to fifteen people in an hour Then in five days this will happen...... Day 1 you will wake up to a shocking surprise Day 2 you will meet your old friend Day 3 you will get money Day 4 your day will go very nice Day 5 your favorite person will talk to you Don't break the chain You have an hour to send this to fifteen people NO GROUP CHATS YOU HAVE AN Hour.

One of my favorite movies is called Being There with the iconic & versatile actor Peter Sellers -

a random adult/child - perceived to be a genius -

"Life - is a State of Mind" as he randomly walks on water in the end !

i would like to know if time is actually ever so slowly accelerating ? presuppose the BB and space is increasing right ? i feel that randomness could be tied to the S-T Continuum, but i hafta associate w/ the S-T C first...which i havent so there. are there randomness follicles s/h joined to consciousness ?

noodles2112

No, randomness doesn't exist.

The only possible meaning of this is that the speed of clocks is changing relative to some other clock. What is that other clock?

It is a truism that only dimensionless values can ever be meaningful. We are fooled that it is otherwise by using "standard units", but with these what you are doing is comparing the size of something to something else with the same units, eg a length to a standard length. The ratio is dimensionless.

Anyhow, for your hypothetical, you need to clarify what this ratio is.
