This is a copy an past from wiki.
It seems two distinct views exist on the meaning of time. One view is that time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe, a dimension in which events occur in sequence. This is the realist view, to which Sir Isaac Newton subscribed, in which time itself is something that can be measured.

A contrasting view is that time is part of the fundamental intellectual structure (together with space and number) within which we sequence events, quantify the duration of events and the intervals between them, and compare the motions of objects. In this view, time does not refer to any kind of entity that "flows", that objects "move through", or that is a "container" for events. This view is in the tradition of Gottfried Leibniz and Immanuel Kant, in which time, rather than being an objective thing to be measured, is part of the mental measuring system.

Which view is correct?

The plannet even though the clostest to the sun it rotates slowely, hence a day is about 2 earth months making one side 400 degrees and one side cold enough for ice. Dont we mus have plants here which could survive those temperatures? plus couldn't assist them to adapt by installing some form of solar filtering. All we would have to do is colonise and concentrate on one small area about the size of a town and make a few trips per year to irrigate it and leave perhaps a tank of h2O in a container modified to reduce evaporation. If this is maintained couldn't over a few hundred years oxgen be built up in its atmosphere? isn't there ice on the night side of mercury? Doesnt it have an unusually stong gravity for its size which could trap its oxygen?

It must be getting harder and harder for astronomers to see anything with all the light pollution around.

I know almost all plants would die, animals would die, and humans would die, blah blah blah, it would be really cold/dark, there'd be no wind.... Is there anything I'm missing?
Note: I am not asking what would happen if there was no sun at all, like if it didn't exist.

Also a moon or moons can be created as well, what would this world look like help me visualize your ideal world.

My ideal world would be a tropical planet with no large land masses just 43% of the planet covered with island chains around the equator and shallow oceans all around with very mild storm seasons once a year, there would be less gravity so volleyball on the white sandy beaches would be even more fun, there would be so many tropical flowers that even the air would smell like a dream, and at night there would be a mild breeze coming from the ocean and the twin moons overhead would be enough to stir the heart of even the most hardened of hearts.

but thats just what my ideal world would be like, i wanna here what your ideal world is like.
