- I think I saw you box up the cosmos and then have a thin wire run
- from the cosmos to the energymeter. I think the technology to get out

- Only to the extent that it has been verified with experiment i.e., there's
- nothing to prove anything to the contrary.

-
- But why do you bring up a proof of the CoE for the whole cosmos ? What
- you are saying should be observable anywhere in the universe when time
- is measured shouldn't it ? I think that is a problem. So, the cosmos
- loses energy only when I measure time ? When I'm not measuring time, no
- energy is lost ?

- Well, according to the Kantian view (something I accept most of the time)
- space is a priori. Don't ask me what all that means :-).
-

-
- Thus your trouble with loosing energy for time. Does one lose energy
- only when one is measuring time ? If so, that's quite fantastic. We
- now have a way of controlling the cosmos.

-
- Eh, about the last part ? It is experimentally seen that the universe is
- expanding. Now if you believe that time and space are on an equal footing
- (as in GR) then time would be "moving forward" as well.
-
- I thought you said:
-
- m(t) = m(0)e^{something -t} (abian)
-
- I have no idea where you got E(t), A, and B from this.
