What is time?

Question

Is time really real, or is all in our dying minds?

I'm not asking what is life or death, simply what is time.

Answer 1

the measurement of space between events

Answer 2

Time is simply a man made measurement. It was the Romans who first used it to keep an accurate track of activities. Like the measuring stick, the ruler, we all universally agree what an inch or a centimeter is because that's the way it's set up by those trying to put order in life. Same holds true for time. It just adds order in life. Yet it doesn't truly exist per se because we don't know when it actually began.

Answer 3

If you really want to know about time then take a look in my 360 where I have been illustrating how all energy uses time and time uses all energy for perpetual motion. Electromagnetic energy and time together creating light, both being created simultanously but time prevailing as a number because of it's shape
What the illustrations show me is how time isn't just a man made conception at all ;)

Answer 4

If our minds are dying, how would they be dying if time was not real? Dying, or any other action, occurs over time. Dying implies that now I am alive, but soon I will be dead. You can't change from one state of being to another state of being without time.

Answer 5

Time is your perceived evolution of Creation, and is therefore unique to each observer. Ever notice how Monday's drag and weekends fly by? We measure time based on the rotations of our planet around our star, but what if you lived at a point in space with no pattern of light and dark? Would you experience the flow of time differently?

General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics have shown us that time, like all events in the universe, exist only because of the observer.

It IS all in your mind, just like everything else.

Answer 6

Time is an imaginary measurements of the world zones all around the world, as the world moves between sun and the moon or both when there is eclipse. We need time to schedule our work and sleeping patterns, is the world's discipline how we live on earth.

Answer 7

Time is both real and unreal, depending on what you are doing at the time. Think about how long it seems to you, from the time you go to sleep until you wake up! But then again, watch a pot of water come to the boiling point.

Answer 8

time is a division of the space of events in day and even yrs. It tells how long something has occured. And sometimes time is in the state of mind.

Answer 9

Time is the period between two events. Time is a fundamental quantity in that like mass and space, it can't be defined via other quantities. It is defined by its measurement.

Time is the result of movement of the cosmos. Without movement, there is no time.

Answer 10

The measurment between how long somrthing or someone has been in Existence. Birth date to Expiration date.

Answer 11

Time is nothing more than a man-made invention to keep track of the four seasons.

It's not real. Time doesn't exist.
