time

How do you view time?

 

Time is man made

 

i try to think of time as only an illusion because it drives me fucking insane:X

 

time is...it just is...

 

Time is an abstract concept created by humans to measure their decay.

A warrior such as myself has no need for time!

 

doesnt the culture club sing a song about time?

 

Well there was that one about a shintoist chameleon.

 

Only one more hour left of a hellish twelve hour shift, then it's TIME to get off work.

 

The more I think about it the more I think time does not exist.

But my mind is split on that.

I believe in Fate, and everything is already laid out the way its supposed to happen.

I think time travel is impossible, but time viewing isnt.

Like if you could see over the curve of the universe you could see into the past or the future.

hmmm time is facinating.

 

Time travel isn't impossible, google 'special relativity'.

 

I can't think of anything witty to say on this thread.

 

When that happens to me I just pretend to know more then I actually know.

 

Just add two more beers...and try again.

 

The way we think about time is somewhat primative compared to the way we think about space (and just about everything else). Most think of time as one dimensional, one straight line of time that continuously progresses forward out of an infinite past, through an infinite present, into an infinite future.

But, just for fun, think about time this way for a minute.

Time is experience, so when you done reading this, stop for one minute just to experience the minute, just be aware of the one minute that is passing.

Before you do this, however, please realize this:

There are 6 Billion people, give or take a few million, alive on the planet right now. Every one of them will experience a different minute than the one you are about to experience. A billion or two will be sleeping, a few million are dying, another few million are being born (or giving birth), a few million are having sex, a few million are eating, reading, being entertained, being entertaining, working, playing, laughing, joking, thinking, etc. Whatever you can think of, whatever you can't think of, someone is experiencing it during that one minute you are about to observe in its passing.

So, on a strictly human scale, there are, altogether, 6 billion different minutes being experienced, by human beings alone, during the exact same minute you are experiencing yours. In other words, Six billion minutes are going to be experienced in one minute.

Six billion minutes is 100 million hours, or 4,166,667 days, or 11,416 years. This is more time than has passed since the beginning of the agricultural revolution, since civilization began, since written language was invented. A person born 11,416 years ago would be older than the combined ages of Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, and Lao Tzu.

So, if you play along with this fun little mind game, then you realize how time can exist in two dimensions. The time you are about to experience can be thought of as one minute long and 11,416 years wide.

Of course, compared to three or four dimensional thinking, two dimensional thinking is easy, rather primative even.

So, let your minute begin now.

Peace and Love

 

i don't, it makes me late.

 

time is weird I don't like to think about it. It makes my brain hurt.

I think time travel is possible but we as humans can't do it.

Other than that time is just tells me when I have to be to work and back. and when concerts start. I like time. not the hours but the days. I like seeing days and weeks pass by.

 

I dont really know what time is all about but i do know one thing.... Time keeps on slippin slippin slippin.... into the future.....

 

Some cool replys...

 

"Tick . . tock . . tick . . Dit Dit Didoo"
