most people here think of time a a clock or a watch, i think you are talking about time as in something that we can see or control. my answer would be time is only something that we made up to organize things better. its not a force or something we can control. however they say if you could travel faster than the speed of light you could be able to freeze time, at least that is how it appears to you, but only for your self, i am not sure if you can reverse it, i doubt it. i don't think it exists because if it did then we should also be able to control it.

I do not think time exists, but has existed. Every moment in the universe converges into time, which has been lost as it is created, does that make sense? Every spark of time reaches our known world (not specifically the earth) and is lost as we experience it. But these sparks of time keep our known society and the rest of the universe alive and working, or there would be no existance, no meaning of life. So we depend on the works of created and lost time to keep our universe in natural order, or all would be lost.

Now that I've explained my theory, I'm going to go report it on national television and make big bucks (hopefully).

Good question.

No, I don't. Time is a concept but isn't real. We can only perceive it by change in matter. When we are removed from an environment where changes take place at regular intervals like sunrise and sunset, we can't judge time at all.

On a spiritual level I think that Time, Gravity, Matter and Existence are all an illusion.

Try telling your boss that time doesn't exist when you're half an hour late for work though!

Time is a form of measurment of movement in relation to calestial bodies. Since the Earth moves around the Sun time exists

This is something thats been annoying me alot
the problem is that if u start dividing time into smaller and smaller amounts u find that u can go on forever, showing that there is an infinite amount of time within any amount of time proving that it can't logically exist. the same is true for space.
but of course, this is contradicted by the very fact that time is somehow passing atm, and i am currently occupying a certain amount of space, so in reality, nothing makes sense

Some can argue that time is a fourth dimension, and some can say that time is something the government forced upon us to create an organized environment. Truly it's your opinion, but to me time exists. It's a substance that can be measured (i.e. minutes, seconds, hours, months, days, weeks). So yes, it does exist.

I think because our bodies age, time exists. When a person goes from newborn to child to teenager to adult to elderly, there's something working towards that. We call it time because it passes, it gives us a point in to start from or go to.
So life continues, it moves it goes forward. The hours pass, the years trudge on.
So, I think time exists, otherwise we wouldn't be here today.

Time exists for mortality. Outside of Life, time is eternal.

Time exists, but our time system is just a way of keeping track of it. if you look up time in the dictionary, there are multiple definitions, so it depends on how you interpret it.

Just as space exists.
