I'm not gonna touch this thread anymore, because I feel like I'm not getting to be a part of it. =\
Thank you Hysterian!
No, because my comment was based on exactly what that post implied. It's not my problem if it had some cryptic meaning that only you understand. How the hell do you expect to get anywhere in a debate if you don’t make your meaning clear?
A theory can become absolute truth and absolute truth can become A theory, it's only the matter of one's perspective.(i.e theory of evolution)Also, it IS important that we know whether you consider this a theory or absolute truth.
Maybe you only misunderstand or dont understand My explanation.No, because my comment was based on exactly what that post implied.

What? That didn't even begin to make sense. If that was an attempt at humor, you failed dismally.
I'm sorry Viator but if it is not possible to compress time then it is not possible to absorb it, now I am quoting from you, because time is infinite meaning they would be absorbing forever and ever and ever if your theory is true. Also may I add that this is only a game and their are only a certain few people who know the truth and that is the CREATORS!!!!
See, here's the thing. IT SHOULDN'T depend on one's perspective. It should be true, regardless of the perspective you have on it.Originally Posted by Viator
You think THAT'S a personal attack? You have no idea what a personal attack is, do you?Ryusikaze, please dont make a personal attact like that.Take it easy.
Unsupported claim. PROVE IT.If time is finite you cant go to the past.
I like how you act as if absorbing time is a change of tactic for Ulti, given that her goal was to BECOME REALITY in the first place, requiring it's absorption. Of course, in this case, absorbing time would compress it, since she was not becoming any more voluminous as she absorbed.Ultimecia uses TC term because She thinks she can compress time but She was wrong that's why She absorb Time
Prove time is infinite. Prove time cannot be compressed IF infinite. Prove she was even trying to compress the future instead of the much simpler, effective, and sensible act of using the past as fuel for the recasting of existence.That scan info tells us Ultimecia is TRYING to compress time.She only T-R-Y-I-N-G,trying.Then she realized She cant to compress time because time is infinite, that's why in that Final Battle She transformed to absorb Time.
Then again, religion never needs proof. Just asserations, and that's all you're giving us. So how about you stop calling this a theory and admit it's a religion.
OH NO IT CAN'T! You don't even understand the scientific method! A theory is never absolute truth, it merely attempts to explain the observed phenomenon. It can NEVER become absolute truth.A theory can become absolute truth and absolute truth can become A theory, it's only the matter of one's perspective.(i.e theory of evolution)
The theory of evolution is the 'best fit' way to explain the process of evolution, which, sorry to all you creation nutters out there, is now an observed phenomenon, what with the nylon and styrofoam eating bacteria that have evolved in the last 100 years.
It is possible to absorb something that infinite.I'm sorry Viator but if it is not possible to compress time then it is not possible to absorb it,
That's why there 2 Ultimecias in the Final Battle.now I am quoting from you, because time is infinite meaning they would be absorbing forever and ever and ever if your theory is true.
The First Ultimecia will keep absorbing time.
The Second Ultimecia will reign in TC world.
If you see it like this way, you will realise Why Ultimecia can absorbing time.
The Creator is Ultimecia.Also may I add that this is only a game and their are only a certain few people who know the truth and that is the CREATORS!!!!
Of course it depends on one's perspective.See, here's the thing. IT SHOULDN'T depend on one's perspective. It should be true, regardless of the perspective you have on it.
For example : 10 person read a bible and the result is only 1 person believe that bible while the others dont believe it.
You see,it depends on one's perpective.
Well if you ask one of the admin they will say you make a personal attack.You think THAT'S a personal attack? You have no idea what a personal attack is, do you?
If time is finite you cant go to the past because there's no past or future in the "finite time".The finite time will over right away when the time is start because it's finite and only left with "timeless" when it's over and of course this is not the characteristic of Time because time never stop;time is infinite.If time is finite you cant go to the past.
Unsupported claim. PROVE IT.
Squall can go to the past,that is the proof Time in FF8 World is infinite.
you can imagine Her compressing Time but the fact is She absorbing Time.I like how you act as if absorbing time is a change of tactic for Ulti, given that her goal was to BECOME REALITY in the first place, requiring it's absorption. Of course, in this case, absorbing time would compress it, since she was not becoming any more voluminous as she absorbed.
I think this life is already enough to prove it.Prove time is infinite.
Then I ask you a question how can you compress something infinite?Prove time cannot be compressed IF infinite.
You said you already read My Explanation many times then why you still say something like that.Prove she was even trying to compress the future instead of the much simpler, effective, and sensible act of using the past as fuel for the recasting of existence.
The hardest question about Time Compression is :
Why Ultimecia needs to go to the past to perform Time Compression?
Actually this is not a question, this question was only tricked us. We were tricked by this question for a long time and we were confused by this question, why? because this is not the right question.
The right question is : HOW Ultimecia performs Time Compression?
The answer is :
Ultimecia cast Time Compression Magic + Ellone’s Power = Time Compression.
We were always tricked by the fact Ultimecia go to the past, that’s why we always think she needs to go to the past to perform Time Compression.
Ultimecia doesn’t need to go to the past to perform Time Compression She ONLY needs Ellone’s Power to perform Time Compression.
Ellone’s Power can send someone's consciousness to the past.
So Ultimecia go to the past is INEVITABLE if She wants to perform Time Compression because that is how Ellone's Power works(send someone's consciousness to the past).
Ultimecia uses Ellone’s Power when she go to the past and cast Time Compression Magic to make Time Compression happens.
Ultimecia cast Time Compression Magic + Ellone’s Power = Time Compression.
If religion never needs proof then that is not religion,that is belief.Then again, religion never needs proof. Just asserations, and that's all you're giving us. So how about you stop calling this a theory and admit it's a religion.
Then how about Newton's theory and Einstein's theory about Gravity?OH NO IT CAN'T! You don't even understand the scientific method! A theory is never absolute truth, it merely attempts to explain the observed phenomenon. It can NEVER become absolute truth.
Is that a theoy or an absolute truth?
I think they are both.
I find an explanation about about time by Vincent Mianji.Will there be an infinite amount of time in the future? This is difficult to judge. According to the classical theory of the Big Bang, the answer depends on whether events will keep occurring. The best estimate from the cosmologists these days is that the expansion of the universe will continue forever. There always will be the events of galaxies getting farther apart, and so time will have an infinite duration in the future, even though gravity will continue to compact much of the matter into black holes.
Well just read it if you have time.

*Twitches at the horrendous grammar* You assume many things. This time, you assume we deny that Ulti was absorbing compressed time. This is not true.If you see it like this way, you will realise Why Ultimecia can absorbing time.
Ultimecia did not write Final Fantasy Eight.The Creator is Ultimecia.
Yes, bring up a faith based argument- one that actually wilts under a rational observation- to rebut a point about empiricism. DOES NOT COMPUTE. Let me rephrase this- YOUR POINTS SHOULD BE VERIFIABLE IN A RATIONAL, IMPERSONAL FASHION. Your evidence should not rely on personal perspective to even exist. Your problem is that all of your evidence is of this 'differing perspectives' kind. That, and 'It MUST be this way' sans support.Of course it depends on one's perspective.
For example : 10 person read a bible and the result is only 1 person believe that bible while the others dont believe it.
You see,it depends on one's perpective.
Let me rephrase that: If you think that's a personal attack, you ain't seen nothin' yet. And no, it wasn't a personal attack. It was a vent about your inability to present a new response other than "It's YOUR problem, not mine, that my idea makes no sense"Well if you ask one of the admin they will say you make a personal attack.
This makes no sense, and you apparently misunderstand the meaning of finite. Try again.If time is finite you cant go to the past because there's no past or future in the "finite time".The finite time will over right away when the time is start because it's finite and only left with "timeless" when it's over and of course this is not the characteristic of Time because time never stop;time is infinite.
No, it is proof that time travel is possible, which is NOT reliant upon finite or infinite time.Squall can go to the past,that is the proof Time in FF8 World is infinite.
No DER. To become all existence, one must consume all existence.you can imagine Her compressing Time but the fact is She absorbing Time.
Despite time having a beginning and a probable end?I think this life is already enough to prove it.
How can you absorb something infinite? The same way.Then I ask you a question how can you compress something infinite?
One of your 'proofs' against TC is the time is infinite. This is only the case IF the crunch does not occur and the future stretches endlessly. If Ulti only concerns herself with the past and absorbs at a rate faster than the passage of time, then the problem of infinite time is an utter non issue.You said you already read My Explanation many times then why you still say something like that.
I'm noticing a lot of unsupported claims presented as fact in here. Try empirical evidence next time. Hopefully in the form of in game evidence or authorial statements.-snip-
Funny how those two words go hand in hand... Religion is almost always based off of a belief without evidence. Religions are also quite often dogmatic, refuse to show proof, and claim that those who disagree are somehow flawed- that the problem is with the disputer, not the claimant. Reminds me of someone.If religion never needs proof then that is not religion,that is belief.
Both are merely theories.Then how about Newton's theory and Einstein's theory about Gravity? Is that a theoy or an absolute truth?
I think they are both.
They merely attempt to explain the objective reality they observe. They only claim to be truth inasmuch as they explain that reality very well. On the other hand, NO scientist worth their salt has the hubris to assume their theory is absolute truth.
If you cant seperate the meaning of absorbing and compressing then you should stop talking those things.But not to compress it, even though by the very act of absorbing, you compress.
WRONG.Except Ulti's goal was to recast reality once it was fully compressed.
What do you mean "compressed time' anyway?*Twitches at the horrendous grammar* You assume many things. This time, you assume we deny that Ulti was absorbing compressed time. This is not true.
Ultimecia is The Creator of Time Compression.Ultimecia did not write Final Fantasy Eight.

It just your inability to understand My Explanation.
I think you are the one misunderstand the meaning of time.This makes no sense, and you apparently misunderstand the meaning of finite. Try again.
You still dont understand...?No, it is proof that time travel is possible, which is NOT reliant upon finite or infinite time.
Ultimecia never trying to become all existance.No DER. To become all existence, one must consume all existence.
All existance is infinite.
Life never has a beginning or an ending.Despite time having a beginning and a probable end?
Wrong answer.How can you absorb something infinite? The same way.
It doesnt matter where Ulti cast the spell because Ultimecia is the center of TC.One of your 'proofs' against TC is the time is infinite. This is only the case IF the crunch does not occur and the future stretches endlessly. If Ulti only concerns herself with the past and absorbs at a rate faster than the passage of time, then the problem of infinite time is an utter non issue.

Here's a newsflash. She doesn't have to compress all time, only back to the first sorceress. This means it is irrelevant whether time is finite or infinite.
That aside, I agree with Ultimecia first having to compress it in order to absorb it.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
Actually Viator I said there is only set of people who know the truth the creators notice plural meaning I was talking about the people who created the game. Think before you post next time. Also you don't know that Ulti was the creator of TC there might have been countless Sorceresses who have tried to do it.Ultimecia is The Creator of Time Compression
When you place more and more of something into a given volume without increading the volume, you compress it. As Ulti absorbs, she gathers more and more into her given volume. Compression occurs.Originally Posted by Viator
One word answers do not rebuttals make. You must provide a reason why I am wrong.WRONG.
You've GOT to be joking. You are joking, right?What do you mean "compressed time' anyway?
Again, Ultimecia did not write Final Fantasy Eight.Ultimecia is The Creator of Time Compression.
"What is Sarcasm, Alex" "That is correct". Just because I say 'yes', it doesn't mean I agree with you. A tip, read my bit here again, but when I say 'yes', imagine I am rolling my eyes, because I am.You said yes but you still keep talking like that?
Give Me a break...
Well, if my original post qualifies as a personal attack, so does that.Yes that is a personal attack.
It just your inability to understand My Explanation.
If you've got a better one than the one I used several posts ago, I'd like to see it.I think you are the one misunderstand the meaning of time.
There's nothing to understand. Your argument of finite time is based on a false premise.You still dont understand...?
The second is an unsupported and incorrect assumption. And if Ulti's not attempting to become existence- then why is she attempting to consume it all?Ultimecia never trying to become all existance.
All existance is infinite.
"Birth" and "Death" wish to have words.Life never has a beginning or an ending.
It's not a wrong answer to point out the flaw in your thinking.Wrong answer.
Irrelevant response! I said nothing about casting the spell! I said there was an incredibly easy workaround to one of your key 'disproofs'. Since you didn't address this, CONCESSION ACCEPTED.It doesnt matter where Ulti cast the spell because Ultimecia is the center of TC.
Key word: EMPIRICAL.I already give the in game evidence and you still dont get it.
Just as soon as you stop spouting dogma.I hope we can stop talking this stupid religion thing.
Which does NOT in any way, shape or form rebut the points I made in the argument you were responding to. Theories do a GOOD JOB of explaining reality. Scientists think these explain this best, but are always on the look out for a better theory. Even those who FRONT these theories are willing to discard them if a better, more parsimonious theory can be advanced.Their theories explain the reality in this universe and many scientists believe their theories.
