Time

[socratus]

Time doesn't exist. It is a relational concept only
@Sione. K. Palu

How old are you?
The answer is hidden in relation between Sun and Earth
It means that the time (year) depends on the orbit of Earth around the Sun
If the diameter of orbit were another the time (year) would be also another
For example:
You are 40 years old
But if the diameter of orbit were smaller then you would be 50 years old
And if the diameter of orbit were bigger then you would be 30 years old

What a load of piffle.

What about the fact that time slows down as you speed up?

tis true...there is no time, never has been... talk to a physics prof

As you read this sentence, you probably think that this moment—right now—is what is happening. The present moment feels special. It is real. However much you may remember the past or anticipate the future, you live in the present. Of course, the moment during which you read that sentence is no longer happening. This one is. In other words, it feels as though time flows, in the sense that the present is constantly updating itself. We have a deep intuition that the future is open until it becomes present and that the past is fixed. As time flows, this structure of fixed past, immediate present and open future gets carried forward in time. This structure is built into our language, thought and behavior. How we live our lives hangs on it.


Yet as natural as this way of thinking is, you will not find it reflected in science. The equations of physics do not tell us which events are occurring right now—they are like a map without the “you are here” symbol. The present moment does not exist in them, and therefore neither does the flow of time. Additionally, Albert Einstein’s theories of relativity suggest not only that there is no single special present but also that all moments are equally real [see “That Mysterious Flow,” by Paul Davies; Scientific American, September 2002]. Fundamentally, the future is no more open than the past.

forget time...what about Now? Apparently there is no Now in the usual physical description of space and time.

Time doesn't exist eh. Awesome sauce! I will delete the alarm clock setting and not worry about being late for work tomorrow then.

Done and done.

Your boss will still perceive time as it impacts his reality. sh!tty deal to be sure.

Crap! Knew it seemed too good to be true. Don't suppose she'll buy the argument either.

might even get a tad hostile about it

Bring it on, lol.

now now...patience is a virtue...aren't you learning anything from Joe

To manipulate those crazier than yourself? Yeah, I keep trying. Lol.

So how does time go slower the faster you move if it doesn't exist? Have you never heard of the Theory of Relativity?

You are 40 years old
But if the diameter of orbit were smaller then you would be 50 years old
And if the diameter of orbit were bigger then you would be 30 years old

All that does is prove that the units we use to MEASURE time are abstract, not that time itself is abstract.

I think the posters on this thread got into a bad batch of weed... I'm tell'in ya.

Yes I have heard of the Theory of Relativity.

If you read the OP he said...
"Time doesn't exist. It is a relational concept only"

which is what the Theory of Relativity states.

if you want more answers on time ask a scientist

Here's a fun site for you.

He's still wrong. Time isn't a relational concept.

Earth could suddenly have a shorter orbit and therefore have a shorter year, but time itself will still be the same.

I thought was the point...time isn't linear and may not just exist on one plain...no?

This is the first post in this thread. PROVE ME WRONG!

Socratus is saying that time doesn't exist at all.

oops, I misunderstood that, I thought he was saying it was relative to perception...by our existence alone it has to exist in some form since we are here and then will cease to be
