i dont understand the last one at all -sorry!

but as for the screenshots - my OH was shouting about them but he has a things for graphs lol!

Here is something that may help, from Wikipedia.

Imaginary Time:



Imaginary time is difficult to visualize. If we imagine "regular time" as a horizontal line with "past" on one side and "future" on the other, then imaginary time would run perpendicular to this line as the imaginary numbers run perpendicular to the real numbers in the complex plane. However, imaginary time is not imaginary in the sense that it is unreal or made-up—it simply runs in a direction different from the type of time we experience. In essence, imaginary time is a way of looking at the time dimension as if it were a dimension of space: you can move forward and backward along imaginary time, just like you can move right and left in space.

The concept is useful in cosmology because it can help smooth out gravitational singularities in models of the universe (see Hartle-Hawking state). Singularities pose a problem for physicists because they are areas where known physical laws do not apply.

hmmm - makes me think of that minkowski diagram again - or at least my ohs interpretation of it.

I think I actually understand that. So Imaginary time is what is between the island and the freighter?

I understand the concept but when I try to apply it to the given situation it is kinda difficult.

From the link: "'only Daniel and Desmond need to worry..."


Minkowsi died though, so he has something to worry about;-)

Of corse it may be later revealed that he had been subjected to radiation...

I'm thinking imaginary time is basically a means to reference time within space. Perhaps a path through time isn't straight and can curve up and down through imaginary time just as you can take a curved path through space.

I still don't see how this helps us though. =(
