Angel of Silence Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Time is really just an idea to explain things that happen. technically speaking it's an idea to explain things, there really is no such thing (In my opinion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Lovegood Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 What is time? Time is: Impulse / Force Displacement / Velocity Distance / Speed Or alternatively: The indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.

Welche the crab Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Time is a concept that humans have created that is in fact not a real concept in the universe. Therefore this question is invalid and this topic is pointless. inb4lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Βyakuya Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Time is the uncontrollable force that is powerful enough to shift a series of events in a given spatial dimension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flinsbon Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Time is 1/2 of the fabric of Space-Time (obviously). This means that anyone who says time doesn't exists claims the universe does not exist. You can think about it like this. If I wanted to meet someone, what information would I need to give? I can't say where OR when. I must say both or the question makes no sense. Therefore, space and time must exist together. Also, everything in the universe travels through space and time at the same rate. Therefore, something stationary is traveling through time at the fastest possible speed. From there, the faster an object is moving, the slower it is moving through time. Anything moving at the speed of light is stationary in time. Anything moving faster than that travels backwards through time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vough Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 I know it's the 4th dimension. I know that time is real because our bodies age with time. I know time can be measured, and I know time will continue even if you don't mention it. Time is real because every living thing ages with time. If there was no time, would we be immortal? Probaly. I'm going to ponder this for a while and come back later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welche the crab Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 I like to not think of time as a dimension because I prefer dimension to mean spacial dimension, or something that can be travelled through. On a side note, death is a product of evolution. Ergo primordial beings were immortal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yu Hansung Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 It's from Doctor Who, Rupert... And time is the passing of events from a non-subjective, linear standpoint reproduced in units of measurement. At least from the understanding we have as a race at this moment.

Shiina Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Time, is nothing you can see, feel or measure. Therefore it does not exist. People measure it in standards that are easy to understand. They can say it's this spatial thing between events, what events? Any event or is the word "event" as broken as the word time? Time is just a system created by mankind. If it is created, where does it go and where does it come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Time is now; well, then. It was a while ago now, well, not now, because now is something different than then and now we're getting confused. So I guess then is now and now is confusion.

Dr. Cakey Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 [quote name='Whirr' timestamp='1307429573' post='5263069'] Time IS linear because everything that happens DOES happen as a result of impacting conditions. Anything that happened was going to happen or else it wouldn't have. [b]Time [i]appears[/i] to be linear, and I do believe that it is linear, but there are legitimate scientific hypotheses that contend time may not be linear.[/b] Also, time itself is a measurement. It's the measurement of intervals by which materials express motion. [b]Hours, minutes, and seconds are measurements. Time is not. Do you argue that because kilograms exist, mass is a man-made construct?[/b] Therefore, time itself does NOT exist as a physical property. Time, however, IS relative, contrary to the popular belief that time is universally constant. The people unfit for this debate that you're referring to are those who claim Einstein's theory of general relativity isn't true. On the other hand, asserting that time doesn't exist isn't concretely correct or incorrect; likewise, it is debatable.
