time ..... post any comment you might have about this subject

Maybe later...

Time is supposed to leak occasionally into other dimensions. interesting.

On the third stroke, the time is 16:59 and 57 seconds....thank you

in the words of Laurie Anderson:
"This is the time
and this is the record of the time"

time is a traitor.

Time is what you want to do, what you wish you hadn't done, and what you're screwing up on at the moment:cool:

Time does not "flow."

Time is motion's bitch.

Actually, that got me thinking...

If the entire universe were to suddenly stop moving in every way (ie the earth would stop rotating, wind would stop blowing, chemicals in your body remained fixed etc..) would time cease to exist? If not, wouldn't this be the best set of circumstances under which to study time (ie it would be a control). It seems that time is dependent upon motion to exist.

oooh, and, what about the implications of the phrase..."wasting my time"..... is time really wasting? or, rather, one's actions being wasted or...loss of action, i guess you'd say.

The distinction between past, present, and future is a stubbornly persistant illusion -Einstien


Time is only a creation of man. It is not real, only because we think it is real do we let it be so. Because we define who we are today based on yesterday, time exists. Time is a way to linearly construct thoughts. It is a grid we place 'everything' into, because we've created it, everything fits into it.

Who here feels like since you were a little kid, time seems to speed up, each and every year? I can't find a person that I know who tells me time has kept a steady rate (in their subjective opinion) or that it has slowed down. Faster...faster...faster..each and every year. More data. More information. More worldly knowledge. More communication, more people, more energy, more conflict. Speed.

Is it any suprise that cell phone companies are selling people 'minutes'? When did humanity EVER 'count their minutes'... Soon what, they're going to sell you 'seconds of data transmission' for wireless events?

Time will cease to exist when humanity denies that it exists. Moving at the speed of light, there is NO time. Humans are light bodies manifested in physical form. Light moves but is not dependent on time, hence time is not dependent on motion. Without time, wouldn't things still continue to be just as they are, only not held into the constraints they are--ie limitless possibility?

Think of life as a river. We stand with our back to the current of it, looking at it flowing out in front of us (the past) and behind us is the mighty scope from which it flows, that we cannot see (the future). Until we learn the only time that exists is 'right now' and no other time, no time exists, then we will turn around and find there is no future, but just what we want, right now, eternally.
[and in we i mean humanity as a collective whole]

how about.. everything is just this big picture that keeps on evolving at just an instant and there is no time. the moving clocks are only part of the big picture evolving . the "time" that slows down when we are bored and that paces up when we are being entertained is nothing but this feeling that we have programmed in us that we accept. just because things such as clocks keep ticking and the sun and the stars move according to one another doesn't mean that it actually exists. for example im feeling "time" but really what im getting is this feeling something inside my chest. our bodies are set to what we think about and accept about "time". everything moving doing things feeling is just the big picture that you are part of evolving in one instant forever. everything dancing together. well i can't say instant or forever since they refer to time, though the word "forever" gives a sense of timelessness.

time is just an idea that you have programmed in you that works with your memory and how you feel.. what do you think about this idea? :)

Does time exist?

Was there time before man invented the sundial?

Time, devourer of everything


The Paradox of Time
By Henry Austin Dobson

Time goes, you say? Ah no!
Alas, Time stays, we go;
Or else, were this not so,
What need to chain the hours,
For Youth were always ours?
Time goes, you say?- ah no!

Ours is the eyes' deceit
Of men whose flying feet
Lead through some landscape low;
We pass, and think we see
The earth's fixed surface flee:-
Alas, Time stays,- we go!

Once in the days of old,
Your locks were curling gold,
And mine had shamed the crow.
Now, in the self-same stage,
We've reached the silver age;
Time goes, you say?- ah no!

Once, when my voice was strong,
I filled the woods with song
To praise your "rose" and "snow";
My bird, that sang, is dead;
Where are your roses fled?
Alas, Time stays,- we go!

See, in what traversed ways,
What backward Fate delays
The hopes we used to know;
Where are our old desires?-
Ah, where those vanished fires?
Time goes, you say?- ah no!

How far, how far, O Sweet,
The past behind our feet
Lies in the even-glow!
Now, on the forward way,
Let us fold hands, and pray;
Alas, Time stays,- we go!

Sunrise, sunset, and cycles of the moon - would those count?

Dunno, would they?

In space with no sunsets, sunrises or cycles of the moon, does it exist there?

Again, I am just guessing but what about planetary orbits?

Its movement tho, does that define time?

i really dont know what im talking about but it seems to me time doesnt exist but is a man made thing.

I don't know either, that why I said I was guessing. I do know
one thing - it has been studied by philosophers and scientists (http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/t/time.htm)
for a long time. :)

did anyone read my last post dammit :bugeye: lol

Yes I did

cant say so, it wasnt easy to read. It was just a big paragraph of text but i will read it just now.

what do you think? its just a theory.

next time i ll make sure to put enough space between each letter of each word so you can read better captain :p

Time is never time at all ~ Billy Corgan

I've read somewhere that someone theorized that there could very well be different foms of time happening at the same time in different dimensions

For example, there could be a timeline in which time passes slowly
For example, there could be a timeline that repeats forever
For example, there could be a timeline in which time passes fast.

This is all theory now.......

western civilization sees all time as a linear progression from beginning to end. To us time seems to pass. But in reality, there is no linear time. Shit, there's no time. The universe exists in an "eternal present" that is circular like the spokes of a wheel.
Our calender is nothing but repeating the cycles of the seasons over and over again as the earth rotates around the sun in a CIRLCE. Ancient cultures all believed time was circular and all creation goes through a changing cycle of birth and death. Change is the one constant in the universe. It signifies motion. The universe is eternally active and in motion. I guess ancient man was aware of this motion and change of the universe and how it affected all life. So they gave this natural phenomenom father time. "time" has a cylic motion and changes constantly.

Stars are born, stars die, stars are born

planets are born, planets die

Universes are born, die, and are reborn.

People are born, people die.

Life, creation. the natural order,

Thats why I think a billion, gazillion years from know, our sun will die and our galaxy will disappear to give life to another one.

We are under the impression that real time exists. But it really doesnt because maybe time IS motion and movement.
