Post Time.... Is less eternal than the will to Respond.

Does Time Exist?

An interesting question to feed a Bored mind, post your Opinions and keep the Discussion Intellectual.

---

I am I believer in Parminadies, who claimed Time was an Illusion, and that we are simply Passing through realms.

I beleive in time. How could it be possible for us to pass through realms so quickly? If so, wouldn't that make it possible to leave this realms and go back to a past realm, and change something?

"Time is what keeps everything from happening at once"- Ray Cummings
I think that quote is basic proof of the existence of time.

But does this not already happen? Time, say between 2 seconds, results in one having to take infinite steps to reach the follow seconds (As this time can be divided), however
if time stops things from occurring at once, then it has a Beginning.... so... wait... time...this is Borked!

Well, these Realms are infinite, because time cannot be. This Transition could become so over common that it doesn't phase matter any more and the byproduct is the Illusion of time.

Physics does not disprove Time Travel.

Time is hardly a physical factor, in my personal opinion. If clocks never ticked, or calendars were never written down, we would not be having this discussion. It wouldn't be measured in seconds, days, or years, as it would just be a blissful existence, with us only understanding so far as to the sun rising and setting each day. We would grow older, yes, but not in the sense that "time was passing;" simply put, our bodies were aging.

It may be hard to comprehend, but in the end time is still just a creation of the minds of man. It's just the same as the Fahrenheit Effect - once an idea is created, no matter how many books you burn, you can't kill it. Same as with time - no matter if you destroyed all the clocks in the world, people would still consider it to exist.

Remember, science may hold answers, but without the human imagination there would be no science to begin with.

You could have just Written inconclusive.

You speak of time in a sense of a Morale, from the experience in life, not in general. Nothing wrong with it, however I believe it's apart from the argument of time existing or not.

Where is your proof or at minimum a theory? It might exist, however as an Illusion.

Of course time exists, how could all realms be the same as this natural world?

Basically time exists because scientists say it exists. It's the same thing as gravity. You can't prove or disprove gravity, but you know there's a reason we don't just float up into space, so we call that reason gravity.

We can prove gravity through other elements, we cannot prove time through anything other than time. Spacetime is something else, if I'd say.

So... in essence all opinions are wrong?

Time exists and the proof is decay.
