Bernards Watch

So we would be looking at time as an observable coordinate within our universe?

Milton Erickson suggested something very similar; He talked of altering your own relationship with time, time dilation if you will.

The below experiment may support time dilation, although I suspect the pessimists may suggest this is an optical illusion. If you can find on the net a clock which second hand moves constant, watch the second hand for 10-15 seconds then take your eye off the clock and stare approx 15mins in front of the second hand, you should notice it appears to stop/slow?

Time dilation is most commonly known for its use in martial arts, the ability to perceive reality at a slower pace. I think this is accurate?

I think someone needs to make Bernard aware in respect of his age that there is uncertainty as to the repercussions of Bernard stopping time
 
Nah Bernard stopped time a while back, became a teenager and stole the booze and fags from all the local shops in hull, newcastle and stains

I had a dream about internet fairies the other night actually. They looked like the absinthe fairy from Moulin Rogue, except they were make up of that scrolling matrix text, and they had claws on the ends of their legs with which they carried monitors about the sky, like the way an eagle carries a fish.

I seem to remember some of them getting sucked into an airplane engine or something too, and it making green smoke come out the back, but then the plane turned into a boat, you know, as is normal with dreams, and it didn't crash. It did make a huge splash though, now I think about it, and the fall was rather awesome.

In general, if a TV show or film deals with time travel/manipulation it'll be breaking every law of physics or drastically contradicting itself.

If time's stopped, does air stop? If so, would he be able to move? If not, why not when everything else does?

DvDbunny is that you?
 
anyway I thought Bernards Watch was a real life documentary following the life of a young boy who possesses a watch with the ability to stop time?

Surely this time dilation you speak of is merely ones perception of the passage of time as opposed to actively slowing down travel through the time dimension (which apparently we travel along at the speed of light) Shirley.

How would the cameras have filmed him while he was under the effects of his own personal temporal distortion field?
