Do you think that time exists?

Question

Answer the question and justify your answer...

Answer 1

Time exists only in the mind. It is a frame of reference which requires an observer's point of view. It is in its absolute self does not exist.

Answer 2

time does not exist because it is a quantity that can only be measured by the same beings who have created it, us. Or for that matter any living creature. Time is only pertinent to living creatures, is what I'm trying to say. And so it falls into the same category as any other existential element. Does love exist? Only in the heart and mind of the lover, who can manifest it if he/she so desires, but it cannot be quantified, although there are some large diamond rings out there that try to say otherwise.

Answer 3

Of course time exist and is the result of a physical function. Time is the result of our transition in the time dimension at a rate equal to the speed of light. The physical transition in the time dimension is the result of our outward expansion from the initial Big Bang. All objects in the universe have been moving outward from the Big Bang for about 15 billion years. The red shift of distant objects indicates that the transition outward from the Big Bang is not a spatial direction and can only be the result of a transition in a dimension that is perpendicular to all the spatial dimensions. Our measurement of velocity is another indication. Transition in any spatial direction is always perpendicular to time. This is known as velocity.

Answer 4

Time don't exist physically. There are no time-particle, as we have for matter (fermions), energy (photon) or fields (bosons). Time is just a mathematical relation between other quantities. Or, like someone said, "time is the way of nature wich does not allow things to happen all instantly". Still, time is our Universe's fifth dimension, togheter with space making so-called space-time continuous, the Universe as we see it. Time is like length, it's just a mathematical expression to measure somthing.

Answer 5

First, I wish to use a quaternary logic rule.

The affirmation "Time does exist" is:
- true?
- false?
- neither true nor false?
- (beyond humans' reasoning abilities)"?"

---

Is "time" a human concept, or does "time" exist in itself?
Is "time" independent from human perceptions?
Is "time" really independent from space-dimensions?

---

Given that it is not easy to find an answer, I can try to proove that the affirmation according to which "Time does not exist" is false.

Imagine there is no time.

So we should only express ourselves in "simple present" tense. No "past" tenses, no "future" tenses, no "progressive" tenses: only "frozen present" tense. There is no "now, past, future, when".

Imagine I walk in the street, with my cell-phone. A friend asks me: "Where are you?"
I reply: "I walk in 3rd avenue". End of conversation.
I keep walking.
My friend calls me: "Where are you?"
I reply: "I walk in 4th avenue".
He says: "You lie. You tell me you walk in 3rd avenue."
I say: "I don't lie. I walk in 4th avenue."
He says: "How can you be in 2 different avenues?"

and so on... Not coherent, huh?

Motion is the support of time.

Well, it is easy to proove that "time" does exist on Earth. We suppose time exists the same way everywhere else.
On Earth, we need at least a time-dimension in addition to the 3 space-dimensions.

---

Is "time" an arbitrary dimension? A human-induced dimension?
Is "time" an artificial mathematical concept necessary for describing our everyday life?

Is there "time" in a hypothetical frozen world?

All I know for sure is that radioactive elements naturally decay according to a time-scale (half-life) that is independent from humans' perceptions.

- On Earth, anyway...

---

Your interesting question reminds me of a vivid dream I had, during which I was feeling like standing on another planet on which there was no time...

There wasn't any physical motion, but unvisible "life flows" everywhere.

Errrr: that was a dream lol.

Answer 6

Time is niether a place, particle nor an 'energy' It is simply the word meaning we apply to explain our passage through space that takes 'time' {no other word avaialable} to do it. Or small human animal brains have to have something to conceptualise the occurance of one thing and then another thing and time is what we came up with. Hows that?

Answer 7

Time is only apparent as daylight fades or breaks in the morn', when your body clock tells you or you are staring at the face of a watch yet those little numbers we glance at conceals all information regarding life

Answer 8

Time exists with space in an interactional relationship, thus time/space. Without space there would be no time. The converse is also true.

Answer 9

Time is a dimension . It is a fourth dimension. It is like other three dimensions like width ,length & height .Therefore as such time does not exists but you can measure position of any thing which has other three dimensions on time axis.

Answer 10

it's been about 5 minutes since you posted this question... can you go back in time and change it? Just because you can't touch or feel it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just like air.
