What is TIME? i need explain.?

Question

we everybody know about time. but can anybody explain what is it?

Answer 1

I assume You are talking about lineal time.

It doesn't really exist but our belief in it makes it seem to. Consequently the reality we create with our thoughts seems to be moving in a particular direction with what seems to have happened appearing to us as the past and what is going to happen seeming to be the future.

All of this is an illusion. there is in truth only one moment and we call it now for want of a better name. This moment that we call now is all that is real.

This is actually quite easy to prove to your self.

Touch your index fingers together last Tuesday . Go ahead do it.

Difficult isn't it.

Now touch them together next Wednesday. Still a problem isn't it.

Now touch them together right now.

That works a lot better.

Even if you actually waited till Wednesday you would still touch them together at a moment you would properly call now.

Now is in truth the only moment that you will ever have. The past is just a memory. The future no more than an educated guess.

Answer 2

People long ago created time to measure the ongoing continuance of the universe. This 'continuance' that time measures has been going on ever since the big bang (and maybe even before that) but has not been broken down into seconds, minutes, hours, etc. until we evented those things.

It's rather hard to explain, I mean it only really exists because we measure it, but if we had no way of doing so nothing would change, we just wouldn't know what time it was. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if we didn't measure time, it would still be there and would keep going we just wouldn't know how far it had gotten along....if you get what I mean.

It's just one of those things that we can't quite grasp our minds around.....and we may never be able to

Answer 3

I can give you how I think of it.

To start with, time is the fourth dimension we live in. The other three are length, width, height. You can move in those three dimensions (you can walk forward and backward, side to side, or jump up in the air or dig downward and so on). But since we cannot change direction in time (at least not yet), we generally say we live in only three dimensions (since we can only affect three dimensions).

I would call time as a way of defining the setup of the world at specific moments. This is hard to explain without using time references. But since you cannot occupy the same space as anyone else at the same time, time is a way of defining a moment when you were in a particular space that no one else (or nothing else could occupy).

If you put a chair in the middle of a room and sit in it; then you have a friend sit in it a moment later-- you have effectively occupied the same space but not at the same time. So time references help us identify the time frame from when you were in the chair and nothing else could occupy that space; then differentiating it from the time frame when your friend was in that space and you could no longer occupy it.

So each second, or minute, or hour, or whatever time frame you'd like is a way of identifying a moment or series of moments when everything occupied a space and separating it from a different moment or series of moments when you no longer occupied that specific space. Which enables us to live in houses in a place where there was once a war, or another person/people, or a building, or whatever else.

Answer 4

i percieve time as an expanding sphere, a 3 dimensional thing. there are no words yet for these three directions at which you can measure time. they arent needed yet, as we havent felt the need to form a box around ajacent realities. the beginning of time is the center of the sphere. the past is all that is inside the sphere. the present is the surface. the future is the area outside the sphere. the surface(present) represents all possibilities. we occupy a point on a ray that begins at the center and pierces through the surface. that is our "time line" the one dimensional time that we experience in everyday life, where the past is fixed, the present is being created, and the future is chaos until it solidifies during the present and becomes fixed as the past. time is related to space. the more things that can happen in the universe, the more expansive time is. this is entropy. i doubt that helped, but its an answer.

Answer 5

Time is the measurement of distance. The time of ones birth through the "existance" of their being. The distance of "being" (measurment of age years) from the time of their birth. A measurement of how long it takes to go from one point to another. In science light years are measured by the time and distance it takes the light to travel through the darkness. Once we die this scale of measurement no longer affects us.
We then reach immortality, there is no time. This mortal must put on immortality" (1 Cor. 15:54). ...

Answer 6

Time is a term we use to describe change. Change in form or change in appearance. Change in distance or change in dimensions. We use it in a lenear sense, although it should probably be use in a stack up sense. If this doesn't expain it to you in simple terms then I suggest you use "time" to learn how to spell and use the english language to be more efficient in communication.

Answer 7

Since you are asking in the philosophy section:

Time is a fallacy, created by man to make sense of the universe.
