Topic: Time Does Not Exist (Read 1461 times)
Im sure u are wrong. Time passes everyday the sun goes round the earth.
It does not exist, and it exists at the same time. From my perspective, as a human being, time for sure exists. I do not say, of course, that it's the right one, but still the most important (for me) at this moment.
That youtube video is extremely wrong, check this out.. http://www.wired.com/2010/02/what-is-time/
Time does exist, it's not in our minds. If humans were to become extinct tomorrow, time would go on. Time is simply a dimension, and was started the same moment space began expanding during the big bang...

as i said previously, i don't think the statement should be an absolute "time does exist." it's still relative to the seer.
Time is only relative to the person experiencing it in certain cases such as those of age, where as you get older you're perception of time dwindles, so what may seem like an eternity to everyone else is hardly any time at all for you.
Time is linear, and no matter what nonsense people like to say that the past, present, and future, are one, that's not true.

time is still the same if you are looking at your watch right now, and the person on another planet looking at it now. it's the motion that causes the dilation of time.
I am not exactly sure where to find the research, but if you watch this video they talk about it.

Time is able to be measured, but using time and space we can not account for our own universe and it's neighbors. So, no matter how much you prove that time seems to be there, it's just not. We have more to learn and Time is just the "God of the Gap" we have for now.
it's just a mindfucking clusterfuck. so many things in nature are paradoxical, yet they exist somehow. just like atoms that exist as both a wave and a particle.. how can it be two mutually exclusive things at once?
i think in the end, with time, it's best to just say that it does indeed exist - but only subjectively. there is no such thing as objective time.
I have no idea what to say in this discussion.
Time does exist.. 
Its a measure of how long we have for anything.

I like the argument that time is a purely a function of entropy in thermodynamics, and this is underpinned by quantum mechanics (also explains why time only goes forward).

What if time and what we consider reality are the same thing? I think trying to give them different definitions is only causing confusion?
Man, I thought I had something academic to say, but the poster two above nailed it. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Time is what a clock measures.
Imagine you have a best friend, living on a planet in the universe near one of the stars. You decided to talk on http://bitcointalk.org by private message, at exactly 3pm.
Your friend, on the planet, is 94607304725808000 meters from earth.
He looks on his clock, it's 3 'clock.
You look on your clock, it's 3 'clock
Yet, he is not there
why is he late? how is this possible?
Say your internet speed is the speed of light: 299792458 metres per second. Remember the earth is 94607304725808000 meters from your friends planet, so it would take many seconds for a signal to go from the planet to you. (you can do the calculation if you wish). Thus, you get that the time, even for the most near stars or planets is not the same on both clocks.
In fact, this also happens on the smaller scale. Say the:
moon is at 356.400.000 meter from earth
lightspeed is at 299.792.458 meter / second. So your view of the moon, is little bit more than a second old.
Now imagine an nice lady 2 meters from you. But.. you do not see the lady, you see how the lady looked like
about 0.00000001 seconds ago.
0.00000001 seconds is not a big deal for us. Thus what a clock measures 'time' is connected with space.
This is a tiny tiny explanation of the theory of relativity by Albert Einstein. I tried to explain it as simple as possible.

Time does exist , it couldn't exists but in reality everyone does everything based on time, I don't think it's gonna change anytime soon
time doesn't wait for anyone
i think the buddha claimed that there were subatomic particles that vibrates a shitload of times in 1 second. he also said that the universe was expanding and contracting. a lot of physics goes hand in hand with buddhism, which is why i like it.
I have always thought time was an abstract idea constructed by the human mind, like many things. Time supposedly travels forwards yet it is always the present, future and past are just concepts. There is only the eternal now.
so you're saying that the record of time , in past and future is an illusion and there is only the moment, right? that the recollection of past and future is the illusion, an anticipation created by the human mind. I agree with this. The Hindus had a pretty good idea of the universe.
