Thread: What Is Time?

You are still just nitpicking on other peoples posts and ideas, and doing a half-assed job at that. At least use spell check if you are going to attempt to feign intelligence. Your arguments are so underdeveloped and flawed that it's not even worth debating. It's like you lost interest in your own arguement in mid-sentence...hence the need for quoting so much...LOL... Where is your follow through?

I don't know what kind of grievances you have going on in your real life, but taking them out on people in a dream forum is friggan pathetic. Get a life, son. Sorry to say, no one thinks you are any smarter for what you are doing so its pretty pointless...

Well i dont copy that why i quote. Actually i not really sad as you might think. I have dyslexia that why my spelling bad.

I becomingagodo that what i do.

Time is us constantly saying no to God. (i.e. not my time to die yet)

We are constantly in the same time, the same instant. There is no such thing as ellapsation of time. Us observing physical action is really just us observing people say no to God.

edit: That's not actually what I seriously believe, although I do see it as a plausible theory. Thus why I posted it.

Time is the enemy.

I for one have 3 takes on the subject of time. I don't beleive one is truer than the other I just beleive either is possible.

Time is the word we use for the rate at which we "decay", such as someone who is 30 years old is someone who has been "developing" for 30 years based on how many times or planet revolves around the sun.

Time is part of a dimension, (NOTE: this is simply what I understand of it I could very well be wrong.) Einstein theorized that we existed in a single "space-time" dimension meaning that all perceptions of movement as well as time are included in a single dimension. I also heard somewhere that we exist in "half-time" but think in "full-time", I don't recall where I heard it but that may account for deja-vu.

Time is a dimension of movement, like dimensions 0, 1, 2, and 3 they add another plane of existance (0 none, 1 "forward and backwards", 2 "left and right", and 3 "up and down"). But for some reason we can only move "forward" in time at a certain rate as it is a plane of movement possibly "between" dimensions 0 and 1.

That is my take I apologize if I am incorrect in areas, if you have a problem with opinions on this then please private message me instead of wasting space in the thread.

Time is all in your head!

Which would explain my theory that it is simply the rate of universal decay.

At the moment of creation of the universe - the Big Bang - all matter, space and time came into existence, before that time did not exist.According to Einstein's theory of relativity, time is regarded as a fourth dimension, on an equal footing with the familiar three dimensions of space. Einstein says that you can imagine all of space and time represented as a four dimensional space-time map, on which all of history, the present and the future of the universe can be represented.The problem we have is in trying to visualise these four dimensions because we can only see the three dimensions of space, we cannot 'see' time. However, even though we cannot see it, it is necessary to include time if we are required to define a precise location.
Our universe could not exist without time, and time could not exist without the universe, they are different components of the one entity.

Ah, not quite. The prospect of other universes has also been and is still being explored. We havn't even found an end to ours, so we can't know if it does have an end. We also can't know if there are other universes out there. So time may have existed before the universe. There may be a void out there in which each universe exists in which time is present without space. Its entirely possible, but at this time can never be proven.

Other universes? We have not even explored our universe enough.And yes,we can`t know if there are other universes out there and it is very unlikely that we will discover that in near future with the current technology.
And what kind of a universe is a universe that does not have space?
Time cannot exist without space.If only time exists there will be no universe at all.

I didnt say there was no time within an existing universe. I said there may be a void where there is time but no universe. I never said a universe didn't have space. I said a void without space that the universes exist in. Not a void that exists in the universe.

You said this:

This thought does not make sense.
If time exists in that void and also each universe exists in that void then this says that time cannot be present without space as time exists alongside with the universes in that void.

No, you misunderstand me. Hypothetically speaking, say our universes were round. They float about this void that has no space. Or think of it this way, universes are to the void as planets are to space. Get what Im saying?

Time is the result of action after action after action................ upon memory

Not really, because just by the fact that these universes which float in the void, they are part of it,and so making space a part of that void.
As You mentioned, universes are to the void as planets are to space,You want to say that what is beneath the atmosphere on the planet, is not part of space?

Ugh, I didnt say that either. We dont know what is outside our universe, so we dont know what laws the universe is bound by on the outside, if any. I say the Universe is to the Void, as Planets are to Space. So think of the void as "The space for the universe" but its not actually space. Space is space, and the universe is space. Space is space, space doesnt exist in space. We know space exists in our universe, in our world, but if there is an outside to the universe, a place where we can enter and exit the universe, we dont know what laws we are bound by, if any, on the outside. So, I refer to this unknown as "the void." What exists in the void, I dont and will never know. Its just a name for what could be on the outside of our universe if there is an outside.

Not that i give up ( ) but i think that we can go on like this forever, and we went out of topic a bit.The main topic was time, not universes and space...

Im bored in the holidays so here are some things to think about.

1. Have you ever done the excerise of trying to estimate one minute WITHOUT counting in your head, counting breaths, looking a clock etc, or ANYTHING that you can measure. Then you tell someone when you believe one minute has passed. I have done it and i have occasionly gotten a 2 second error or closer.
So this means that in our brains there is something there to measure time - we know of its existence, principle or dimension. We humans just use seconds, a day, a week (which is 7 days for those getting dumber in this forum ) to MEASURE time.

2. Without any form of life, would time exist? No one would be there to measure it.

3. Black holes and time (please do not argue the existence of black holes, just talk about time and them). Where time slows right down when you get closer to the event horizion, and eventualy stops. Ugh what a painful endless death!

4. I am sure you've all heard the time travel paradox. If you travel back in time, kill your parents, would you exist etc etc etc. Cos if you didnt exist you wouldnt be able to kill anyone, let alone your parents. And on it goes...

And here's one more to really piss people off.

If you are all science like, cough cough, then you trust the law of conservation of energy. Having said that, you cannot go back in time before your were born as the matter of all the universe would be altered by your presence. Besides i dont have a time machine, except Homer's toaster seems like a good idea...

Time travel would break the law of conservation of matter as well, because you are effectively introducing new matter into the past or future.

Your assuming time travel is possible.

According to einstein (who you worshipped so much in the string theory thread) time travel is possible.

Seriously you didnt know.

I think it would make most sense, as was earlier stated, that time is the rate at which we perceive things. If your thought process slowed, wouldn't time be much faster?
