    Actually, time is perfectly real. Time is passing by right now, as I type this and as you read it. The laws of physics could simply not exist without time, so without time, the world as we know it wouldn't be here.
    The measurement of time is absolutely a human concept, though. Whats to say a second should be as long as the human race has defined it to be? Nothing, the measurement of time, second, hours, minutes, are all just a non-physical concept, but wether humans ever even existed or not, time itself would still exist.

    Leave it to a theoretical string physicist to try and bullshit his way through a ridiculous statement...

    I must have missed the part where he explains it doesn't exist!?
    We can't fully describe it so therefore it's an illusion?
    It's an accumulative energy average type phenomena like temperature,
    therefore temperature is also not real?
    If accumulative states are not real then I guess my mind does not exist either!

    The title of this video is about as ridiculous as stating that cars are just illusions of assorted parts.

    Time and gravity and temperatures and cars are NOT illusions,
    I assure you.

    I think the observation of time is relative, as has been proven, but.....
    aahhh, aaahhh, AAAHHHHH!!!!!


    sorry folks, with all this mental masturbation, I came too quick. :(

    maybe next time....

    The concept of time was invented by humans and is based on the motion of matter. Time does not exist. Early man used sundials, then hourglasses, then clocks, and then watches in order that they may keep track of this imaginary mathematical concept. It was useful for planting crops, keeping track of what happens, etc. The apparent motion of the sun, moon, and stars was important in this process of timekeeping.
    However, this concept of time has somewhat changed and has caused much confusion, especially among mathematical physicists. So much so, that they even speak about time as if ‘it’ were a physical object. Spacetime curvature, time dilation, traveling through time. All these theories reify the concept time, they claim that time is ‘something’ which can curve, dilate or be traveled through.
    Well, all objects (matter) have shape. So if a mathematician is going to treat time like an object, then surely he should be able to draw a picture of it or show us a photograph. But of course then they will likely claim that their theories are just metaphors and that you shouldn’t take them literally. Well if that’s the case then what are they really talking about? What do these alleged metaphors symbolize, what do they mean? They mean nothing, they are absolute nonsense.
    You can not travel through an abstract concept which doesn’t exist. There is no physical process which can explain how the motion of all matter in the universe can reverse back to it’s original position. Therefore it is impossible to “travel back in time”. The only way someone could be described as “traveling to the future” is if they froze their body in a machine and then had it thawed out later on.
    Atomic clocks on GPS satellites are often used as ‘proof’ that there is something called time which can be distorted. However it is not the concept time which is changing it’s speed, it is the object clock. The so-called “cosmic microwave background radiation” clearly shows that there is a medium of subatomic particles. ‘Radiation’ is the motion of these particles. The speed at which a clock moves will depend on the density of this medium. It's not time that slows down. It's the clocks.
    In reality there is only objects moving around right now. The reason people have this convoluted "past, present, future" way of thinking is because we have the ability to memorize the locations of objects as they move.
    So, to sum this up. Time is an abstract concept which is based on the motion of matter. Time does not exist. Only matter exists. It is irrational to claim that you can travel through concepts such as adventure, service, enmity and time. You can only ‘travel through’ a medium of matter such as air or water. Time is only an idea.

    ^^^ Sorry, I don't have time to read all that. ;)
