A Time Gate Found In Antarctica, page 3

Ok now, if, and I say if and only if we were actually able to bend the time-space, or if we found a wormhole accessible enough to even think of doing that (hawkins docet) absolutely nothing would ever happen to the clock. A clock, even if digital, even if it's just a counter of some sort, will NOT, I repeat NOT measure time. The only thing the clock does is move around the hands, or show up some numbers and a date, so that we humans remain faithful to our very own perception o what time is. Time passes itself in very different ways in the universe, ie: the closer you are to a gravity field, the more time passes slowly for you. That said, I hope it is now more clear for us all to understand that clocks are, put rather simply, mechanic instruments that humans need to keep track of the way they, or better said, we, perceive time. So, a weather balloon with a timer/clock passing through a wormhole and going back in time would NOT show the date it went back to, but would keep going as normal, measuring human perception of time with numbers no matter at what speed it's going. Also please note that according to Einstein's Relativity Theorie (hope that it's called like that in English as well) in order to actually 'deform' space (not really sure about the time-space as its whole but I am about the space) you would have to be going faster than lightspeed, in a perfectly straight line and, most importantly, you would have to be in absence of gravity. Also, just to make it clear, the space that would be deformed would not be the space as a whole, but just the space AROUND the object that's travelling, so say, if a train was travelling in space FASTER than lightspeed and in absolute absence of gravity, it would derail, because the space AROUND it (and not in front of it or on the rear of it) would be somwhat distorted. Now Stephen Hawkins says that wormholes are actually all around us, but they're as big as atoms so nothing, or nearly nothing passes through them. Of course I am just a 17 year old with some vivid imagination and extremely poor confidence with physics, but that's pretty much my theorie about why something like that wouldn't happen. Also, please note that I may be extremely wrong and that it possibly could be the way most of you said it is, but that's where my logic took me to.

Actually, there was a factual experiment that when one person stands at the base of a mountain and the other walks up and down it when he gets back to the base the clocks are off. I forget why, it has to do with space time mobo jumbo but its proven that time is altered here on earth and clocks ARE affected. The workings of clocks depend on constant rythims inside them. I forget where I read that but there are a few other known experiments where time is slowed down and clocks are affected. Sorry I dont have a link.
