Time: What is it?
Time
What is time? We know it exists...or does it? Many great masterminds of our time and before have tried to figure it out, including Albert Einstein, Aristotle, Issac Newton, and many others, yet none have been able to find an answer. Some people say it's a part of matter. Some say that it's not matter at all. Some say it doesn't even exist, it's just an explanation to better understand the universe we live in. Some say that time is just the present, and the present is the consciousness 或者 awareness of recording of memory into the brain and the past is just a record while the future does not exist. However, most say that time is an illusion.
What am I getting at? Well, seeing as no one knows what time is, we'll just have to base our facts on that last theory, that time is an illusion; a theory excepted 由 most scientists and first presented 由 Albert Einstein:
Albert Einstein
你 see, ever since the ancient times (yes that includes Greek, Roman, and Egyptian), scientists have been looking for 答案 to what time is. They finally came across a conclusion that time is an illusion, at least to us that is.
See, we live in a three-dimensional world (3D). This means that motion can travel in three ways: Up and down, left and right, and 前锋, 期待 and backward. Now, we believe that there are over 12 dimensions, we just can't see nine of them, and we can only interact with three of them, hence: three-dimensional.
Time is not constant
However, scientists are looking into the new theory that time is also a dimension. Specifically, the fourth one. And, they are going as far as to say that it interacts with us, like the other three dimensions. The one thing that separates time from the other three co-existing dimensions is the fact that scientists now believe that time is not linear. Okay, so what does that prove? Pretend that you're going from your house to your 老友记 house down the street. What's the shortest way there? When 你 walk straight to the house, right? Does that ever change? For example, do 你 find one 日 that it is not the shortest way? No, because distance (depth) is always linear and will not change the x-axis (time), only the y. So, if x is constant, y will have to change in a straight line, 或者 linearly. This is why we find the first three dimensions easy to understand; the fourth, not so much.
Its hard to grasp the concept of time. Time co-exists with nothing, yet it co-exists with everything. It is a separate entity, yet it still needs us like we need it. In the provided example above, time is constant as in that 你 know that the shortest distance is always the same because the amount of time it takes to get there is always the same.
We can control time, but we can't change it...yet.
Now here comes the tricky part: Ever get the feeling - lets go back to the 'going to your 老友记 house example' - that when your walking to that house, sometimes it feels like it takes longer to get there than other times? Now this is the part that even most scientists can't figure out. Whether it's our brain playing tricks on us (something psychological) 或者 if we really are changing the speed of time, leading us to 辩论 whether 或者 not time really is constant.
Space-time continuum. Where time and 太空 co-exist.
In the space-time continuum presented on the right, time is flexible, meaning any matter can change it, including our brains, which leads scientists to believe that time is really not linear. Perhaps quadratic, maybe cubic, 或者 maybe it doesn't have a pattern, making it irrational (sort of like pi: 3.141592653...) and unable to predict. But for now, they have based their theory on the fact that time is flexible as long as there is matter (which is why they say time does not exist in some places in 太空 或者 dark matter) and that humans can control it to a degree. We can't change it, but we can control it.
When you're doing absolutely nothing 或者 doing something that 你 really don't want to do, what happens? Time goes slowly right? And what about when you're having fun, 或者 actively working on something, not really thinking and just doing it? 你 don't even notice how long it's been and time 'flys'.
The time it takes for the present to occur is infinitesimal.
All I'm trying to say is that if 你 keep thinking about SoN and 'OMG! Like, I can't wait till it comes oouuuuuuuuuutttttt' you're not making time go faster. In fact, it's making it go slower. I still have that countdown till SoN that I programmed and when I used to look at it every day, 10 days felt like a month. Now, when I look at it every 15 days 或者 so, it only feels like it's been five days since I last looked at it. Of course, being a little dormant on here helps a little too but that's not the point.
The point is, time is not constant 或者 linear, and that we have the power to control it. Once we get control over the other eight dimensions, maybe we'll be able to change it (ex: time machine), but for now, just use your head.
We'll get there...
Don't watch it; ignore it
Soo, the main main point is:
Cool your jets! The Son of Neptune will come out! Maybe if 你 shut up a little and get your face out of that clock, it'll come faster, 你 idiots! Jk
Until the 下一个 really confusing yet morally helpful article,
See ya,

kk so i know everybody wanted to die after finishing MOA, but then remembered that they couldnt read the 下一个 one if they did. i know. me too. but if 你 think about it, its pretty obvious what happens, 或者 at least easy to draw conclusions. percabeth cant die. nono. RR would die if he did that to us. but somebody has to, maybe nico? hedge? idk but someone important tho. somebody 说 that calypso was coming back and immediatly my "leoissingleandilovehim" lights started flashing. i mean, come on, hes the single, sexy beast, shes the single, depressed goddess. we all see it. but idk how she got freed? i mean, what is this magic? i think we may see some jeyna magic happening what with the percabeth mess and all that jazz, and octavion probably kicking her @$$ in some way, but again, idk. im kinda anti- piper cuz shes annoying, but she did save percy and jason so she earned some respect from me. but idk. post what 你 think these are just ideas.
Dear Readers, This is my 粉丝 Fic so please comment, and tell me what I can do to make this better.
Disclamer: I do not own these Characters, Rick Riordan does.
Percy-
Percy felt like a rock when he and Annabeth was tumbling towards tartarus. When they almost reached the ground, he turned so his body hit the ground and protected Annabeth. He heard Annabeth scream when he turned his body but he didn't care - all he wanted is for Annabeth to be safe. When he hit the ground he could hear his 识骨寻踪 crunching, Annabeth calling his name but he was slowly losing consciousness.

So in the YouTube video where rick reads part of chapter 2, Reyna mentions that she is the praetor of legion 12. Now in TLH Jason mentions that he is the praetor of the first legion. I believe that the legions are the same as the seperate cabins at Greek camp, therefore meaning the legions are seperated 由 parent, and the praetors are like the counselors. As Zeus/Jupiter is 舱, 小木屋 one at camp half blood, he might be legion 1 at camp Jupiter. Therefore as dionysus /Bacchus is the twelfth Olympian/cabin I am led to believe that her parent is Bacchus, therefore explaining the purple robe, and maybe her father even mentioned Percy to her and 说 he'd be on his way to camp which is how she knew his name. Thoughts?
