I'm interested in hearing everyone's opinion of time. Do you think it's a physical force or just something we use to measure sequences of events? Can time be manipulated or is it constant?
Let me know what you think.

Time doesn't actually exist.
We just managed to measure eternity. In a sense. We broke it down into what we can understand: Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years.
But time itself doesn't actually exist.

although a man made measurement, time is open to individual interpretation, and our perception of time as an individual can certainly be manipulated by a mental approach or a given situation. Basically a good situation = time goes fast, a bad situation = time moves slowly.We all know that feeling. Also zen Buddhists, shaolin monks etc will probably have a different perception of time than most of us.
As a force in itself some may say the effects of time are often visible, in nature perhaps, or on people.I'm more inclined to believe its the occurrence of events and experiences over a "period of time" as opposed to time itself.
We'll probably only know the ins and outs of time when technology allows us to safely transport people at light speeds.Whilst this is probably going to happen one day it won't be happening any time soon. Shame. Great question!

this entire debate to no remember if gay marriage is a desirable or no remember if that's immoral is an pointless debate. right that's a distinctive way of observing this difficulty that gets rid of faith and desirable and incorrect from the difficulty: look, what a risk business enterprise does the government have in issuing certificates that say 2 people love one yet another? What a risk business enterprise is that of government? that's ludicrous. while those regulations that reference marriage have been initially exceeded, it became by using fact we thought that marriage became the desirable enterprise for having and elevating one's very own toddlers. the only public pastime became interior the toddlers. If we now not think of that marriage is approximately toddlers, then we'd desire to get rid of all connection with marriage (or civil unions) from our regulations. look, while the U. S. abolished slavery, we did not replace the definition of race nor did we modify the definition of slavery. quite we eradicated all connection with race from our regulations. that's what we could do to any regulation that references marriage or civil unions.s

It is my Opinion that Time Can be manipulated. However, we do not have the Technology to accomplish this at this time in our Scientific Development. I do not believe that time is a physical force. I do agree that time is used as a form of measurement. I also understand time to be Infinite, not Finite. Time can be temporary, as well as, permanent. I believe that Time itself is Flexible and can be Warped just as Light can be. Time is Constant AND Flexible, but I am not sure if it can be Stopped. Time goes on regardless. It is never-ending in some ways and you can run out of time for an event...... Time is Paradox in many ways.

God created time for the physical realm. God can manipulate time if He so desires. I believe it is not a physical force but physical force can increase or decrease time. It seems to be used to measure sequences of events.

Time is the main component of the forth dimension. Rather than being a physical force, it is a property much like height, width or depth. We do measure time which is required for the sequencing of events.

Yes it can be manipulated but only by God. God created time when he seperated the day from the night.
Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Time is nothing, for me, the rest of the world uses it to control it's people IE.. be at this place, doing this job/task, at this time. Just a form of enslavement to mankind or at least the ones that choice to let it be!

What we experience as time is a result of changes in our perceptions based on our relative positions in space. Time itself is relative (as Einstein proved), and while it cannot be manipulated, WE can experience the passage of time differently depending on how fast we move through space. The closer you get to the speed of light, the slower time passes. We know this is true because we have put extremely sensitive chronometers in race cars, and when the drivers emerge from a race, time has actually slowed down a fraction of second, from their point of view.

I think time is simply a relative measurement of moments passed and moments passing. Anything more is overcomplicating, at best.

Time is one of Man's inventions to keep track of events and recorded history in this planet we call Earth. Time is linear, finite, and is limited to this physical plane only.
Beyond Earth, Time is meaningless.
Peace be with you.
