Time
Does time exist? What determines the concept of time?

If we cease to exist, what is time?

Is space-time something that can be altered so you can go back or future in time? General relativity states you can see the past theoretically.

Please site your sources if you use scientific references. And explain ideas if using philosophical and logical ideas of what time is.

It's relative.

Man. In a sense that we invented the concept within our own society. Time existed previously, but it was not measured.

It would still apply to other living things. It also applies on other planets in other solar systems but is not recorded by us. Things have to happen over time (such as a star collapsing into a black hole), so while the way we measure is not absolute, time itself is.

I don't know.

Lol, that sounds like something I would say, only in a more coherent form.

"I myself believe time is just a human concept, like the months used to make things easier.....but who gives a cow what I think? "

Quoted by me, myself, and Advent-Insolence.

Seriously though I don't think time "really exists" It's not a thing, it's a value, can't find the right word. I don't want to waste the time on thinking for one....

LOL Love that.


I, using my exstensive knowledge of the power of Space Balls and StarWars conbined, have come to the conclusion that time is here for little geeks to start threads about it so that little nerds (Such as yours truly) can spam them up and make a moderatly sized post without really saying anything at all.


Harsh, I know, but sadly....... So very neccisary.
If I hadn't made such an insulting, spammy, post. Then just think, Gypsy might have had to do it. And with his far greater vocabulary, he would have surely blasted us all to Heckville, with his lightning fast spamming............... Hell, he can even spell "Nececcary".
