Time.....Is it real??

This is a kind of mind meld for you young ones out there. If you have a calendar on your computer (usually in the lower right corner) type in your birth day and the year 2047...... And when your looking at it think that when this day comes (which you know it will) you will be __ yrs old.....Especially when your young (14-18) you don't think about the far future much. But when your young and see on this excat day I will be 53, 59, 67.....It's like WOAH!!!!

 

No, time is not real. We just dreamed it up as a way to keep track of things.

That's my excuse when I'm late for something.

 

Ummm, time has been around from the beggining of time. The concept of it all no longer blows my mind, becuase I've been dealing with time my whole life.

 

Yeah but what blows my mind is that when you are dead time does not exist! So time can only exist if you are alive but before and after you are alive, time is nothing. So if time is nothing than how long of a wait is it gonna be until you are born?? Serious mind fuck for me!

 

^ You already are, but which time is THIS life for you, what about before you opened your eyes this time?? Where you a hippie in the sixties? A liberal in the 30's? A dog in east St Louis??

 

Time is made up by humans. Time really dosent exist.

 

No i believe time IS real, and always will be real from our perspectives. There may be some things in the universe that percieve time differently but it is still in tune with our time.

 

Time is real. It's a series of events. Without events, there would be no time. (Which is why it seems to go so slowly when you're bored.)

I think humans depend too much on time. I hate deadlines and appointments. (Which is why I don't want to "grow up.")

 

The way your mind works, it can only digest a little bit of information at a time.

These multiple bites give the illusion of time flowing.

change and comparison create "time". it's not that it exists universally or eternally. it's just a way of organizing our stored experiences. anyone who looks long or hard enough can see that there's no real division of events.

 

Time is indeed real, yet not as firm as light, time is able to bend, it is real.

 

Time is just a measurement of how many times the Earth spins on its axis or around the sun or some fraction of those.

 

I disagree, Time is real.

 

Time is real, just not the conventional time we're used to.

 

I think time in and of itself is fluxuating and fluid. The whole idea of designating time and events is just a benchmark for a point of reference. You are whereyou think you are.

 

Time is kind of real. The only thing we do is setting and seeing all the moments (which are gone except the one present) in a certain chronological sequence.

 

I didn't say it wasn't real, a year is how long the Earth takes to orbit the sun once, a day is how long the Earth takes to spin a complete revolution on its axis, then hours, minutes, seconds are just divisions of the day lenght. What is incorrect about that?

 

I dont think time is like in the sense of a person getting old and wrinkly.. Bits of matter dont get old in that sense. Its something that accompanies movement through space. I like to think of everything as just one big standstill, no beginning or end, one entire moment. and as you move through it, you pass space within an amount of time. sort of like time and space are interwined and inseparable. I like to think all of space as just one giant electron cloud.. or we could just call it atom cloud. but that is not right if you want some finite area calculations.

 

Time is just a human concept, i mean do you think that a dog is sitting there wondering how long its been waiting for its food, no, not in the sense that we do, as in hours and mins. Its just something that was created by us so that we can keep track of whats going on. think of it this way when you alter your mind via use of drugs and such, a min can seem like an hour, an hour can seem like an eternity. its all about perception.

 

Time exists in that it's a term we created for the concept of what we understand time to be.

Aging exists, we know that much for sure.
