Time measure change, just as length is used to measure distance. If time was a man made construct it would not be one of the more integral parts of physics. Without time we could not have a concept of speed.XHolySmokesX said:A couple of months ago i was watching a documentary on time travel and i couldn't help but dissagree with the theories being talked about, but it got me to thinking about time and the nature of it.
Now this might be quite a farfetched concept to a lot of you as i can't imagine you have seen many theories that say time isn't real, so bare with me and ill try explain this the best i can.
Time is a man made concept, it is not a natural phenomenon. Time was created to allow us to have a grasp of how long something will take to complete, how long ago an event happened or how long it will be until an events happenes. Time is something that can be very easily changed, if i wanted to change the number of hours in a day to 10 and change how long a minute was, with the right knowledge of how a clock worked, i could do it.
My personal opinion is that, as far as the past, the future and the possibility of time travel go, time doesn't exist. There is no past and future, everything that happened happened in the prescent as the precent is the evolution of everything that used to be.
Our conscept of time revolves around the length of time it takes for our planet to do a full rotation, and the length of time it takes to orbit our sun once. This would be different for every other planet in the universe, including those in our solar system.
So that's roughly what i think of the concept of time. I want to know what you guys think about time and whether you agree of dissagree with my idea to whatever extent.
I agree, I find that nothing can exist except for what's in the present moment.XHolySmokesX said:A couple of months ago i was watching a documentary on time travel and i couldn't help but dissagree with the theories being talked about, but it got me to thinking about time and the nature of it.

Time isn't a concept we invented, it's built into the universe in a fundamental way. Your argument lies in a misunderstanding of what time is and how we measure it. Thermodynamically then time absolutely exists, but it's not called time it's called entropy. Relativistic time is actually a bit odd in that 'time' and 'space' are not absolute. this means one second is not always a second long, it all depends on how you are movingXHolySmokesX said:A couple of months ago i was watching a documentary on time travel and i couldn't help but dissagree with the theories being talked about, but it got me to thinking about time and the nature of it.

That was... ...beautiful.TimeLord said:People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.
By the logic in the first paragraph we could do the same thing with a meter stick. I could get a longer/shorter piece of wood and call it a meter. It really doesn't do anything for me though. What you did what change the way to measure something, not the something itself. It really doesn't change anything. The same amount of time will still pass and the same speed. If you want to change time just go really, really fast or go near something truly massive.XHolySmokesX said:Time is a man made concept, it is not a natural phenomenon.

I was waiting for it. Disappointed that it was only on the 14th post or so, but it least it was you, TimeLord!TimeLord said:People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.
