Is Time Real?
Time, is not real. Time is relative, a prospective property of a human created law of physics. Imagine when you are sitting in class and there's 10 minutes until you get out. At the end of class you might say that the 10 minutes felt like 2 seconds when someone else would say it felt like an hour...now apply that on a massive scale...to a year...to a century even. When babies are born they do not know time...in every doctors office there is a clock that ticks quite loud if you actually choose to listen. As a newborn your mind is firing off learning new things...one of the first things you learn is time...for the clock is the only steadily occurring noise in the room. Wen there's a clock in a classroom you may not notice it until someone points it out...if you lived in the city for a long time you can relate this to the traffic outside...you never really hear it util someone points it out or it is loud enough to make a difference. We as humans are programmed to these type of things....now I'm not saying time isn't real...but in a sense "real" is only relative...once you learn to live in the complete moment and let the past and future leave your mind you'll start to notice things that you did not notice before...although the word "now" is also only relative...maybe the universe created the aspect of "time" to keep everything from happening at once...which could mean that when you can travel deep enough into the present moment...everything that could happen...everything that will happen and everything that did happen...is happening right "now"

Time is real.

Regarding what you said in your last few sentences is technically true. If we were able to create a supercomputer powerful enough to track and compute literally every single atom, every type of energy, every reaction, and everything that happens in our universe, we would be able to predict with near 100% accuracy what will happen until the end of time. Of course you need infinite computing power to do this and infinite accuracy, but it is theoretically possible. We would know what every person is thinking, what they will think, what they will do, what their great great great grandchildren will think and do etc. Interesting stuff.

2 RepliesOk, slow down there, Jayden. The universe didn't create "time" but time is a byproduct of the universe. Time exists only in relation to matter. What I think is interesting to think about is, what if there are other types of matter? We see, and perceive atoms, but what if there are things not made up of Atoms? For example, God. Presumably, God is not made up of atoms, (if he made them all) and so his view of "time" is entirely different from ours. It would be like everything (in our timeline) happened and ended at the same exact time.

How can time be real if our eyes aren't real? [spoiler]Really though, time is a dimensional measurement. You may have been taught in school that we live in the third dimension, but we really live in the fourth, the last of which being time, which we always move through, just as surely as we are always moving through space.[/spoiler]

Time is real, not just a man-made concept. The ways in which we perceive and measure time are human constructs, yes, but that does not mean that they aren't real.

OP's been late to work one too many times.

It's a concept of human perception, as the only thing that maintains any sense of accurate measurement are clocks. An example of how it's our form of perception can be found when you're asleep. Can you guess how many hours you've been asleep without a clock? Or do you even feel the ours roll by? No, the only way anyone can measure time is if they have something to reference e.g. The sun. Though that poses the question, if it were physically possible, how would you perceive time if it was going in the opposite direction? There's several possibilities, A: You perceive it as going normally. B: You perceive everything including your actions in reverse. C: Everything except from your own actions are in reverse. But who's to say that these possibilities would be accurate, let alone possible. NASA's building an engine that can bend space around it, which poses the question, would bending space effect time? The answer being yes, as that would be the desired effect with....................Christ..... I... I need to stop thinking for a minute.

1 Replyit's a simple way to measure temporal distance between events, without which we would never get anything done lay off the weed

4 RepliesI would say time is only relative because of how we scale it. The length of days and years is relative to the planet we are on whereas in space time is more of a means to showcase the difference in position of one body to it's previous position. In the past the earth and sun were just star dust and now they are the star and the planet. Of course this isn't anywhere near a good explanation of time. In fact I remember watching a program about time and how the narrator said that for us the present only lasts for 1.5 milliseconds.

3 RepliesTime is completely relative but that doesn't mean it doesn't exists. It absolutely exists.
