How does time exist for a person who is blind, who is deaf, who cant smell, who has lost the sense of touch & taste?
If time still exists for such a person, can time be stopped for this person? What happens then?

As long as the brain is active, then time exists.

Wha??? Time is a measure of our being. It exists if you're blind, deaf, can't smell, can't taste, can't feel or even dead. Time cannot be stopped by anyone in any way.

Time keeps moving for every person, no matter what their disabilities. I dont know what happens when it stops moving for those people, though. They probably couldn't tell what anything was or is. for them, they wouldn't know time existed, but look at helen keller. she was blind, deaf, and mute. she was trapped in her own body until she learned how to communicate. there is hope for these people to understand time.

There is no such thing as "time." We are in eternity right now.We as humans cannot possibly comprehend the concept of eternity, so we track it in linear fashion, piece by piece. Time was invented by man. At least that's how I see it.

Einstein said, time is relativ. Space and time are two sides of one thing and it only seems to exist. We remember and so we imagine, that there must be time. We see how the world change, and think, there must be time. But it is an error.

A person who is locked in his own thoughts would undoubtedly measure time's passing by those thoughts. Time is an invention of mankind to measure his place is his cycle of life at any given moment, and to refer to other places in that cycle, past and future. A person who is locked inside himself as you describe, and still has conscious thought, would measure that time in some way that way he could grasp. Time still passes, as you well know, for a person who is not conscious of it. Reality is not affected by our perceptions of it, after all.

Time is just another form of government control. It's up to the individual to choose if it exists or not.

time moves on for everyone weather they are aware of it or not. it takes time to draw a bath or eat, takes time to love or hate. the big picture is time is meaured in the expantion of the universe and the distence between all objects from one another at any given moment. like the rotation of our earth as it rotates around the sun.

Time is the measure of existence.

Time still exists. Their ability to percieve it may not. I can't see the sun at the moment, or feel it's heat. I'm assuming it is still there.
