What would happen if time did not exist?

Question

Would there be multiple versions of oneself because of the time-warp? Have fun with this one.

Remember: 10 points for the most well-thought out answer. :)

Answer 1

Time has to exist because if it didn't nothing would happen. Time is passing right now there is no way that anything would every happen without time. Time can be interpreted differently by different people or different species but it is still there. If Time didn't exist we wouldn't exist nothing would be here and this discussion would have never happened.

Answer 2

Well, seeing how time is one of the fundamental forces of the universe, if time didn't exist:
A)Stuff would blow up. A lot.
B)Stuff wouldn't blow up because it was frozen in time.
C)A bunch of adolescents would log into a social networking disease known as MySpace and post a lot of spam bulletins.
D)Jimmy Page would perform an epic guitar solo as the fabric of space-time unwound, creating a really cool-sounding and destructive time loop that would spawn a genre of music known as "Aquafina," which would eventually cause the destruction of the universe.
E)All of the above. (Hey, it's a time warp. Anything can happen.)

Answer 3

If time did not exist then everything would happen at once.
Seriously:
Time is merely a chronological measuring device; an invention of man to help us keep track of the events in history.

Answer 4

This just in....."Time exists"? Air, water, food, and shelter maintains our so-called existance. Time however does not! So, what is time? Time is only a perception brought about by a healthy mind which is maintained by air, water, food, and shelter which facilitate billions upon billions of synaptic chemical processes in the brain and throughout the body-- things that truly exist for our existance. Conditioning processes creates the concept of time in our mind-- not that it actually exists. It is not our age which kills us but the lack of properly working organs, air, water, food and shelter in and around our bodies which destroys the brain which maintains our so-called existance. Time exists..."that's f'ing interesting!

Answer 5

First of all the definition of time is the measurement of matter in motion. No matter---no time. Therefore there would be nothing but spirit or ether, as many early physics pioneers called it. no time warps but an existence that we have no way of understanding since we live in a matter oriented universe. Its not pretty but it is physics.

Answer 6

Time does NOT exist. It's just an illusion that it does.

There is space. In that space there are objects and those objects change position in space. The rate at which those objects change position in space in relation to each other, codified, is what we call time.

Answer 7

There would be no moment for a time that did not exist, there would be no being to come, so no becoming and there would be no finite time, so there would be no end to it.

Answer 8

i don't think the human mind would ever allow us to ignore time constraints, even if there were no hour, minutes, and seconds, there would be the sun and the moon. maybe we wouldn't have years or age, but we would have sunrise to sunset and therfore time.

Answer 9

You wouldn't be asking this question. And I wouldn't be answering this question that never existed.

Answer 10

Nothing would happen. If nothing happens, what would we be conscious of? Everything we are aware of depends on time.
