Could time be?

Question

Could time actually be non-existant? it is just a measurement? how can it be a thing than

Answer 1

Time is a measurement that can be found in progression of layers of rock, or decay of substances, aging in living organisms,movement of the heavens (the thing that taught our ancestors mathamatics), so it defintely exists, but before or after our own individual existence it's value is meaningless. they've finally tossed the "string theory" into the "sci fi" bin, so trying a blackhole matter compaction trip is the new next best hope for time travel.

Answer 2

Time does exist... but it is subjective. in order for you to locate an object, you use the 3 dimensions from space longitude, altitude, and deepness.. Now let me ask you a question. if an object moves in 3 demotions, how would you find its position if it is moving? What i mean by that is: where is the object in a certain place and a certain "TIME"?
WELL the answer is very simple time should be incorporated to this situation... in order to locate an object in 4 dimensions. (An event)
But again, time is subjective... it all depends on how you viewed and measure time.

Answer 3

Well time is a pretty esoteric concept except for the Entropic Principle.

The universe is in a constant state of moving from a higher energy more ordered state into a lower energy less ordered state, thus we are convinced that time is actually passing and that something has actually occurued.

Just like you can't unscramble eggs you cant de-entropify the Universe. As it continues to age it will get less ordered, and as it has less order is moves to a lower energy state.

Answer 4

Like numbers, which are only mental concepts, time can be viewed as such; a mental measuring system in which events are sequenced.

Answer 5

Well I agree, it is just used to keep track of what is happening. but it does relate to the study of science and gravity and other things in our universe.
