You will have to decode it yourselvesIf you make a riddle people might get interested. if you put number based riddles we will all run away from it like the devil from the cross.
don't expect to see an answerer to it anytime soon.

A nice riddle like in "Condemned". Something like that might draw people in like a big cake draws a fat kid in.

19, 13, 5, 9
smei ?
And does this have anything to do with time? :)
RE: Time? - nemesis567 - 09-29-2012
Trying to understand time is pointless, just as it's pointless to try to understand anything else in our world. We live in beliefs, not on anything else. The only certainty we have is that created by ourselves.
RE: Time? - Robby - 09-29-2012
It isn't completely pointless though. Maybe if you study it for long enough you might discover something. As little as that may be.

No, you won't. As you walk trough your life you come to understand how unfitting everything is. Take a degree on philosophy and you'll quite fast understand that ALL science can be easily took down. You believe, consciously or not that the world has a meaning and something that moves it, laws, rules w.e. you call it.
Everything is just a perception of your brain, to the point that you can't be sure of your own existence in the world as is. There might just be your brain, I might not be here, I may not exist. It's all a perception.
After all, it all comes down to the cycle of science. Science is built upon certain paradigms, then it all crumbles apart, and it beings from 0 all over again. Upon taking knowledge of that "truth", I believe it's quite hard to believe we will find something that tells us how the world works. After all any theory that's present at the time can't work for everything, just for very limited conditions.

It is proved and confirmed through mathematics and experiments.

Time is the death of everyone. It cannot be stopped or can it restart.
That's what I know about time.
