Is there such thing as time?

Answer 1

You have asked a very good question. The answer is maybe.

People mean different things when they refer to time. So part of it depends on your defintion.

If you look right down into the guts of what time signifies in the science, you will find that what time really means is CHANGE. It is almost obvious from our experience that things change (though exactly how valid our experience is becomes a much more protracted discusion), and time is a basis for describing that. If you like, you can re-write all scientific equations without any time variables, per se, and instead just refer to rates instead. If you think of time as a description of rate of change, then there probably is such a thing.

Another way in which time is used is as a reference point. Mathematicians, particularly, are prone to just slap it on top of our three spatial dimensions as another kind of axis. Something may be at a particular spatial coordinate when you check, but not when you check the next time. Therefore saying 'at time A it was there and at time B it was not' seems a perfectly valid way of talking about the difference in that coordinate. And if you like you may ever refer to a standard change unit in a particular reference frame, a.k.a. days, hours, minutes, seconds, fortnights, and so on. Just so long as you keep in mind that one reference frame is not necessarily the same as another reference frame you'll probably be fine (see the theory of relativity for more time-warping fun). So if you think of time as a description of data, then there's no reason why it shouldn't be.

The big problem with viewing time as an axis is some people begin to think that, just as with the spatial axes, the time-points are always there and always re-visitable. If we think of Paris as a point in space, we can certainly visit Paris any time we like (as long as our bank accounts permit). This, however, is obviously NOT the case with time-coordinates. Nobody EVER visits any particular time-coordinate more than once, and arguably we have so far absolutely no way of demonstrating that any time-coordinate other than the one we happen to occupy ever exists. So if you think of time as the 'fourth dimension', or a 'time-stream' that you can boat up and down, there is almost certainly not such a thing.

So the good news is that science is pretty-well grounded, no matter what we find out about time. The bad news is that those 'Time Tunnel' re-runs on TV are doomed to always be fiction. Hope that helps!

Wa Alaikum Salam Wu Rahmat Allahi Wu Barakathou, inshAllah be khair ya Rub amin.... comply with a ingredient, I even have performed total silence and which would be finished in many circumstances Al hamdoullah. Its stated as Zoned out.. hahah nicely i hit upon it soothing Al hamdoullah i've got not got song on except its Quran, i admire the silence at times and the noise different circumstances. Its a stability i think, too numerous something isn't stable Al hamdoullah. at times not sufficient of something is likewise not stable. Its not stable to have too plenty silence, except your Iman is extreme. decrease back in center East, there's no such ingredient as silence. In long island, long island there's no such ingredient as slience. Khair inshAllah
