So, what keeps TV from flickering? Because the film is solid, not generated from a blank screen 24+ times per second. As such, the film and image itself is present during every possible frame.
Stuff displayed on a computer screen is just as "solid" as stuff on a TV screen, as you like to call it. Both computer displays and television displays and both CRT and TFT are drawn in exactly the same way. The screen redraws a particular pixel, moves right, draws that pixel a fraction of a second later, repeat, and when it gets to the end of the line it waits a bit, goes to the next line and starts drawing again. When it gets to the bottom, it waits a bit, and goes back to the top. No matter what happens, only a single pixel is changing at any point in time.
The screen certainly does NOT start each frame completely black and then draw everything onto it in the order the program specifies (unless it was meant to happen, in which case it would be deliberately and noticeably slow). Software or hardware buffers do this "random-access" drawing, and send the pixel data in the correct order to the screen at the same time.
I was referring to gaming and lag, where even though you have more frames per second than the eye can physically see, you are still able to see moments of lag/freeze or a slight studder even when the frame rate is above 24 frames per second. Because the 24 frames you see per second happen over a specific intervals of time, and when changes in the picture don't change in that period of time, you get a flicker. It is a common thing noticed by many gamers.
If you want to nitpick about if it's a blank screen or the image or how the image is placed, be my guest. But you would be ignoring the main point. In the end, the monitor during gaming puts off a number of frames per second. If you get less than 24 frames per second the studder is easy to see, but it happens even when you get above 24 frames per second and I was describing in general what happened.
Where this is significant had nothing to do with the monitors itself. It has to do with the waves, which also share the same properties as a frames per second, or anything else which works in intervals and has a frequency, and how when things are sync'd. As if a wave had a frequency where it peaked 24 times per second over even intervals, and your vision was also in sync at that same frequency, you would always see that wave in the same place, like a single particle, rather than a wave.
But by all means, feel free to call me ignorant for not being perfect in my comparisons, if you weren't nitpicking maybe you would have seen the point I was trying to make overall. I thought this was a forum where people could discuss theories and ideas, I didn't realize there would be some admin coming along trying to grade the details and call people ignorant to feed his ego.
And again, time does not exist because the universe does not move. It is like a painting, where all things past and future have happened, on an infinite level. The only thing which moves is your conscious, and the number of frames per second you see is what gives the reality of time. It is your perception which is looking at a small portion of this already created universe that limits what you see. Similar to looking at small detail on a big picture. It is very hard for me to explain this.
It's like, take what you know to be as a linear time line. Now, rather than looking at them as being seperate times, think of them as existing all right now. Imagine if you could take on the perspective of being outside the earth. And you added everything on that time line as existing right now. The earth would look like a big long tube. That is a fraction of what the universe looks like. But, in your perseption you create time, where you take that bigger picture, and you break it into smaller parts, or milliseconds in time or whatever. Then just like a movie film, you view each section in even intervals.
How is it that the brain can slow down time during emergencies before the emergency even happens? Because it already knows it's going to happen, because the only time that really exists is now.
And of course, the question of free will. As I said above, that would only be a fraction of the actual universe. Because the universe is infinite, and everything that can happen is happening, and physics are all the same. But you just keep stacking other timelines together. So, as you make choices, you are jumping timelines, dimensions all the time. The only way free will can truly exist is in an infinite universe. As anything less and we are merely computer programs of action and reaction.
So you can mock and call me ignorant all you want. But when it comes to things like time travel, they will be making a model of the universe that is just like what I see.
