What is time?


JG.

Recommended Posts

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.

[b]No, because to people who say time doesn't exist your so called obvious fact is in fact false making this entire statement pointless.[/b]

[b]Just something imposed upon mankind by itself, like the words I am using right now.[/b]

[b]time dilation is t/square root (1-(v*v)/(c*c), at the speed of light time is not stationary, it is undefined as that is t/0 ergo false.[/b]
Anything moving faster than that travels backwards through time.
[b]Tachyon. 'Nuff said.[/b]

I'm not sure if you're being serious or not, so I don't know how to respond.

Yes I am being serious.

Also, I made none of this up. I heard this all from a special on Space-Time that was on the History Channel.

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.

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?

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.

[b]Air is [s]nothing[/s] something you can see, feel, or measure. It can be measured, but you can't measure it. Guess it doesn't exist.[/b]

[b]It's also very easy to measure time.[/b]

People aren't getting the distinction between a measurement and a property.
