Zierro Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 If it didn't then wouldn't everything happen at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mylez Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 If it's unanswerable, therefore a rhetorical question, it's considered spam :twss: Anyway, yes of course time exists. If it didn't there would be no chronological events. We wouldn't remember what we had for dinner yesterday, events would happen in no particular order, somewhat randomly. Time is a constant, a proven one ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistywerty Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Where is it? Does it occupy a single space in the universe at anyone time? Can we test it? How did it begin? Has it always existed. I think there's more to this question than first percived... Also, I thought time was reletive?

I think there's more to this question than first percived... Time isn't tangible. Not knowing how it began doesn't disprove the existence of time anyway. Wouldn't saying time 'never' existed be an oxymoron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't see it or feel it, but you can see other things which prove its existence. When you see a married couple kissing, you know that there is love. When you see a clock's hands moving, you know that there is time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_dude160 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Meh, I'll have to ask Gary, but i'm pretty sure that time and space all have to do with the fourth dimension... -wooooo- :twss: But yes, time exists :D signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren211 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 The world is either time or eternity. Eternity just isnt forever. Eternity is the absence of time, everything happens simultaneously. Time orders things chronologically. No two things can occur in the exact same plate at the exact same instance. In eternity, it can. [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.[/hide]Apparently a lot of people say it.

Zierro Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 There's a big difference between time and god. The fact that we can see a clock's hands move dictates that time is real. Which fact that we can observe "proves" that god is real? The only similarity I can see between the two is that they're both intangible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenticular_J Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I like this (girl? guy?). It is unanswerable, so I must leave it at that.

Yomyth105 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 in my believe time is related to light. 12 noon is supposed to indicate that the sun is the highest it can be in the sky. However if a star explodes and u see it. u may think "wow a star exploded 5 seconds ago" in reality it exploded years ago. it just took time for the light to reach earth. time as in change is something hard to explain.

If they were stationary then there would be room to believe that time doesn't exist, but since we are living in a universe where there is change and movement then it's pretty easy to believe in time.

mr_dude160 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Time isn't relative to light. It makes no sense. You used an example that is relative to our location with our solitary sun, with our measurements of time. Who's to say that humans are totally right in their measurement of time? What you're saying sounds like time is relative to the distance light has to travel to meet your eyes, and the speed of light is yet another human measured amount of time... And i don't get how the 12 noon makes light relative to time. Just our measurement of our sun... o_o signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good answer, you've got me there. Still, I'd like to pay attention to this: but since we are living in a universe where there is change and movement then it's pretty easy to believe in time. If nothing happens, neither does time? If time is dependent on change, it could be eliminated completely? It's quite simple really, but i've never thought of it like that...

It's quite simple really, but i've never thought of it like that... Time isn't dependent on change. Change is dependent on time. Since change happens, so does time. If time didn't exist, you wouldn't age. But you do age, because time is passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
