I need a picture of them for philosophy class. Just someone who shares the view that time isn't real, just a way of measuring.

Has to be a well-known philosopher, so it doesn't look like I'm making a dude up. :I (Ladies can be dudes too, y'know.)
Just anyone recognizable. T-T It's so late to be doing this...

Certainly not your boss. Try telling him that time isn't real, and I don't think he will be in a very philosophical mood :-)

Do read "Freedom from the Known" and "Think on these Things" by J Krishnamurti.
Time is just a man made thing. It's there just to create a little order in our lives, apart from that, time has no meaning at all, and tends to be a superfluous concept.

St. Augstine of Hippo was the first Western person given credit for time being linear.
A great many pre-Socratic Greeks thought time being a "solid" idea that existed, more or less fluid, but not linear. Heraclitus is one such person.

Me. Use my picture.
Time is no different than using the metric or imperial system. It is a way to measure between the occurrence of two events.
