Can you explain how time does not exist?

Answer 1

when I am at work and the boss gives me a list of things to do, I usually have no time to get those things done, therefore time does not exist.

Answer 2

A car can exist because it takes up 3 dimensional space. You exist, you take up 3 dimensional space. Objects that you can perceive have length, width, height, and weight. Time is a vector. It has not width, height or weight. All it has is magnitude and direction. Since it does not have 3 dimensional properties, it does not fit the standard definition of existence. The concept of time does exist. The concept exist in the minds of man and I doubt if it could be proven wither or not the concept exist in animals. Would time exist if man was not here to define it? Is time a property of motion? Is time the heartbeat of the universe? Time can be the mantra when discussing the Zen of being.

Answer 3

these are only my personal opinions, OK, but the concept of "time" and the passage of same, is ONLY a belief, which has to be agreed upon by everyone.
IT REALLY DOES NOT EXIST,THEN, ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT WE ALL AGREE THAT IT DOES. AN EXAMPLE:
If I say that the time is now 9:30, but you point to a clock which reads "5:11", I am only incorrect since you and your clock have the advantage of mass agreement on the issue-- everyone agrees that it's 11 past the hour, except me.

Another explanation of "time" is the method we all use to explain/describe motion. You were in California a while ago, but you are in England now.

Without the belief in the agreed-upon concept of Time, there would be only ONE MOMENT, sort of like the feeling when you're in your lover's arms. Everything is happening within that one moment--sort of like the way God sees everything.

Answer 4

Time is a man made concept that was created to divide up the normal cycle of earth's rotation it's axe in relationship with the sun. In reality time does not exist, all that exists is the present because the past is gone and the future has not arrived.

Answer 5

There is only the eternal now, the ever changing present moment. Past and future reference points are all illusionary at best. If you were able to go back in time to lets say 1872, you would still be in the now, the present, living that moment.
Everything, past, present and future is happening all at once. Strange stuff, I barely grasp it all myself but think about it... You yourself can never live in any moment but the present. Time is an illusion so that we can have this human experience-experiment.
If you figure out how to tap into the so called future, give me a heads up on some lotto numbers, OK.

Answer 6

As we travel along in our lives, we have motion through space AND motion through time. If you add these two motions, you get a constant. In other words, if you increase your motion through space, you decrease your motion through time. This is why atomic clocks which have been put on very fast aircraft are slightly behind exact same clocks that remained stationary--but which started out synchronized. So, one instance of where time does not pass is a photon of light. Since all of a photon's energy is tied up in moving through space at the max possible limit, time stops for a photon. If a photon had a watch, its watch would not tick, there would be no rate of time passing for the watch to measure.
Both space and time individually are flexible. Spacetime is the absolute.

Answer 7

Well I was walking in an alley with the watch my girlfriend had given me. Out of no where two thieves jumped at me. I jumped up and did a Jackie Chan back flip and landed behind one of them. While I was beating the first one down, the second one grabbed my arm. I pulled it free but not before he was able to remove my watch. The one I caught still lies clinging to his life in a hospital. The other one has my watch so for me time does not exist.

Answer 8

ok, i got a book on this the other day,i cant remember what is was called but it sai something like this:time doesnt exist, we dont measure the time in something, we measure change, so really time is change,and eventually, after billions to the billionth year,everything will stop changing, and essentially, time will stop.time is something man thought up to measure how much change has gone by,they called it time.

Answer 9

I'm not sure what to think about that idea. My thoughts are that time only exists because of motion. If there were no motions, then how could you tell that time was passing. But then I automatically think, well is time a product of motion or is motion a product of time. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.............

Answer 10

Time is defined insitu, here on earth we devise time due to the planet's rotation on it's axis (solar day) or to a far distant point in space (sidereal day) & rotation about the sun (our year). On other planets, our concept of time would be meaningless if they used a similar method to devise time.
