Does time really exist, or is it a mechanism in chemistry ? read more-?

Question

I have always thought that time was just a tool that humans created to organize our short lifespans?.

if the universe will always exist in different states, then?... time is just a dimension for chemistry?

Answer 1

If time is the 4th demention, it would exist outside the construct of the human awareness. If we believe the 'Big Bang Theory' as a viable explaination of the process of creation, then the constant expansion of the extremly hot matter would be moving away from the point of origin. Movement can be defined as the distance traveled over a period of time. Distance can be defined as time, such as the distance of stars to earth is defined as the time it takes for a photon to reach earth. The earth is in constant motion. It rotates around the axis, it orbits the sun, the sun is in motion around the milky way gallaxy then there is more evidence to say the motion of the earth has been in play a long time before man in existance. The units of time has been defined by man. The curent construct of 60 minutes in and hour were constructs of man. The measurement of time has been a recent ability that man had achieved, but the passing of time is as old as the universe itslef. We are always trying to make sense of the world around us. It was not until Enstien made his theory of realitivity that the concept of time to use would be different than photon that travels from a distant star. In our frame of reference, the photon may have taken many years to reach earth. But from the frame of reference of the photon, the trip was instantaneous because at the speed of light, time stands still. This seems to be one of the laws of the universe that has been in existance for a much longer time than man. Phylisophically speaking, time is a part of reality. Our understanding of the properties of time is something that is ever changing as we gather more data under different experimental conditions that decribes the interaction of time with matter on the cosmological scale and the subatomic scale.

Answer 2

Time is proportional to entropy: the more organised your room is then the more time you must have on your hands.
The more rundown the universe is the older it is.
All time from the big-bang to the end of the universe can be divided up into discrete steps (quantum units), how many of these there are depends upon what state the universe will be in when it eventually ends. Meanwhile we've made our own arbitrary scale based on number of cycles of a wave of given frequency (on memory I think its resonance of cesium atoms). Lots of these make up a second, and so forth

Answer 3

time is the 4th dimension in the universe
