Actually David is not quite realistic about intangible substances. You can feel air against your face when you are running against the wind and that is very much an intangible substance. You can feel true love and even lust; both so real in so many ways. Time is felt through many factors like stress. I don't think it is an illusion at all. I think you have the wrong words altogether. We bring the factors on ourselves by watching time. I know when I am off in the summertime from my job and can sleep in until I want and go to sleep when I want, I forget all my concerns. I know that time is speeding by and soon I will be at the grindstone again, as I don't have the luxury of doing nothing forever, but for that 6 week period. I just don't care about time and it is wonderful and feels great. Hardly an illusion.

your hypothesis may be construed as a fallacy of reality....
supposing time is an illusion, the validity of things may never be chased upon. what is, should always be and what if or when if is no more than a mirrored telltale of events passing by...
to view time as an illusion and to know how it feels is nothing more than being stranded in an island or desert alone (by your lonesome). the clock may be ticking, the sun and moon spunning thru like an chopper elisi, night and day... day and night. you can't seem to hold on as long as you have to survive it... you let time pass you by and rather concentrate on other things such as escaping one's location at the moment or surviving it... in truth time becomes an illusion in such an event.... it slips by without any meaning nor manner of idea....
ciao....

Time is not an illusion. Time is a measure of change. If things never changed than there would be no time needed. But things do change and we are able to feel and sense time due to changes.

What you think you are doing as "feeling" time is merely aging and decaying. Time is an illusion, a man made concept, and many years the sun will enter its next stage "red giants" engulfing the earth making our concept of time extinct. The universe is a huge cycle; destroying and reconstructing. But these are one of those questions where you'll choose the best as the one that best agrees with you and your idea of "feeling" time...sheesh...

If time is an illusion then you wouldn't have to worry about bonderies so why not feel free?

You can't feel it either way.
As a concept its proveble. Time is passage of events from past to present with the future to come. Of course there was a past. You once were born. Before that your parents were born. This isn't an illusion. This is the past and thus represents time as it is known.

The past is an abstract thought - it already happened, it cannot be 'held'. The future is an abstract thought - it hasn't happened yet, it also cannot be 'held'. The present is an infinitly small connection between the future and the past. Einstein shows the past, present, and future have all already happened right now.
A man once told Buddha his finger was causing a lot of pain. Buddha told him that the pain is in his head, not his finger. The man didn't believe him - He said. "But I 'feel' it - it is in my finger." Buddha asked him if he wanted proof that the pain was in his head. The man said, "Of course", and Buddha pulled out a knife. The man asked what he was going to do, and Buddha said, "I am going to cut off your hand. Then your finger will no longer bother you."

Time doesn't exist. It is an abstract idea made by man to explain the passages of events. Think of it this way, the present is the point where the future and past meet. If the future hasn't ever happen, technically it doesn't exist. The past doesn't exist either becasue it's gone. If the past and future doesn't exist, then the present doesn't exist!!

Time is not an illusion.. time is reality but the fact is that we are not conceiving it in proper way...

We can feel or sense illusions otherwise how would we know there were such things?
