If so I would like to know who, and how exaclty that concept of theres works.
If you can figure out how I got to about proving from the stament below you will get the ten points.


I will only leave you with this hint:
time is only the calculation of movement through space.

Witch would mean space is infinte as long as it exists in a certain postion.
Thank's to all the smart people who answer this question.
I feel like Albert E. at only 17. :)

I figure time is not a dimension measured with a yardstick; rather, it's a measure of the rate of change in the physical universe.

A calculated movement through space - an object covers a certain distance at a perceived rate, that rate being reckoned as time. But why must space be infinite in physical dimension for time to exist infinitely? An object can move in a finite space for an infinite amount of time providing the space in available for an infinite amount of time. If I travel in a straight line in a room, I'll run into a wall after a certain number of feet. If I travel in a circle in that room, I could travel forever (or at least until I die).

How about this - time is the perceived rate of change in the universe. Since perception is a personal thing, the perceived rate of time might be slightly different for different people. We establish standard rates of change to define our time. If someone is unable to perceive change in the universe, there is no realization of the passage of time. Ever get knocked out for a medical operation or sleep very deeply? It seemed like only a minute had passed for you, while for others observing clocks it seemed like hours. An insensate person does not perceive change in the tangible universe and time does not appear to pass (exist). So in a sense you may be right. You have to be able to perceive change in order to perceive time. And if something is not perceived and not believed to exist, it doesn't. Perception forms Belief and Belief defines Reality. For time to absolutely not exist at all, I disagree. As long as any change can be perceived, time, by it's very definition, must exist.

Sense of time and calculation of a movement through space, or any other calculation related to a subject, exist only in a mind of people. Chicken or egg? springs from that concept demandingly...Might be so,that space is mind's inhabitant also and does not exist outside of it...as well as Time. May be that is why scriptures profoundly using term "dust" so many times...

the vast bang thought isn't purely right. you could not talk with regard to the universe and not talk approximately God. there's a Father God and a mom God. they are love. we've consistently been interior the recommendations of God. for this reason we've consistently existed. in view that we are a factor of them then we additionally are love. To journey negativity there had to be a place have been we could visit and study from it. And that place is on any planet with lifestyles. There are 2 places we've existed earlier. the optimum one is our authentic domicile and it fairly is called the different area (Heaven) that's a place of love and positivity. the different is on any planet with lifestyles. here you will journey negativity. it is likewise possible to declare earth is a school. a place of studying and experiencing for the perfection of your Soul. this wisdom isn't tought in faculties or in religions. it fairly is area of spirituality. Gnostics understand this wisdom. Thank God it fairly is out interior the universal public lower back. There are 40 4 universes. there is evidence that universes do exist. merely look at each and every of the quite a few races on earth. one and all of them comes from their very own planet. Galaxy. Universe. There are much greater that we've not even viewed yet. We have been colonized via Andromeda approximately 18 million years in the past. I style of expertise we've been positioned here on earth via Andromeda and different places as an test. to start a sparkling lifestyles on a sparkling planet. How nicely can we delay? Are we going to make it? it incredibly is why human beings from different planets come to ascertain on us. they are already here helping us in any way they are in a position to. Our brothers and sisters. we are all appropriate. We come from the comparable God. We merely neglect whilst we are down here on earth. And so human beings from different planets will let us know who they are very quickly and our spirituality will strengthen much greater. i can't wait.

How presumptious....
Time is not just a calculation of movement through space.

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 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 a thing to be measured, is part of the measuring system.

even If there were never an occurance of anything (such as the big bang) we still would have time but nothing to measure it against. thats what you call Eternity.

When did you do this?

The reason I ask is I ran out of time sometime last week. So, I'm thinking if the time I ran out of disappeared about the same time you proved I never had it in the first place, then maybe that accounts for where it went.

Were you high when you came up with it?
I once thought up a proof of the existence of God while I was stoned, but I forgot it when I got straight.
Seriously, I'd like to hear your theory, and I am always pleased to see a young person who THINKS. Good luck.

I think you are reasoning EXACTLY as Zeno of Elea when he formulated his paradoxes.[1]
In particular check out the arrow paradox[2], Zeno make the point that movement does not exist, but the paradox if slightly modified will show that time is not real.

I'm no mathmatician but I have my own theory in spiritual terms. Time is just a way for us to be conscious. When you sleep time doesn't exist in our minds. We wake up and you never consiciously aware that time went by. So I believe it's something for us to keep track of while we are alive. Other then that there's really no time.
