exist-something with physical presence, that is an object (which has shape) and location.
in that sense time does not exist.
do not agree?
please define "exist"
also please tell me what is time.
for time to contract and expand it should be "something", right?
It is an open dimension within the properties of our universe.
Exactly, that is why gravity and velocity have relative effects over time as they affect the physical properties of any object within a gravitational field, under acceleration or moving at different velocities.
Beel
You will have to tell me what this "dimension" is then.
A dimension is used to describe the orientation an object, and as I am aware of, there are only three dimensions- length, breadth and height. There is no 'space' for one more!
Then, if we were to "describe the orientation of an object" how can we do so if the object is in motion relative to other objects if we only have those three dimensions?
What motion got to do anything with the orientation?
Or are you asking about position?
We use co-ordinates to describe that and they are longitude, latitude and altitude.
No, we are talking about orientation because we are talking about objects moving in space, hence longitude, latitude and altitude have absolutely no meaning.
We are talking about space-time coordinates.
You were saying in relation to another object. So it is co-ordinates. Neither space or time has neither orientation nor location(sorry I used position, I meant location), as they are not objects! If it is motion you want to indicate, it is vector.
Which one you are talking about?
Orientation is related to architecture of the object and hence is an intrinsic property of the object. It has no relation to motion or location of the object. Irrespective of the motion or location they are static.
Are all your arguments based on semantics and definitions? Hilarious.
LOL!
Hilarious??
You think so??
Language is the medium by which human beings convey ideas. But the common parlance cannot be used in science as each word contains so many meanings. Hence in science we DEFINE, to convey meaning consistently and unambiguously! If you are not able to define then you do not know what you are talking about!
It is in religion and relativity where people define nothing, that they can create smoke screens, shift posts, and create straw man. Just ask a theist what his “god” is, he will never tell you.
But that is not how we do in science. Science is the quest of humans, to explain Mother Nature! So all explanations are about reality, and, hence should be rational, that is, it should not be contradictory, nor should it “bend” reality.
Try to define, that at least you will know what you are talking about!!
Hilarious. You redefine words to suit your agenda rather than using their definitions. I can't believe you actually don't even own a dictionary.
That is pretty much what you've been doing all along.
It's clear you know little to nothing about science as you spin definitions and obsess about them.
So you don't even know what a definition or why we define!!
As you don't do it you can make concepts dilate or contract and make a living out of it, just like priests!
Forgive me if I threatened your livelihood, but it is very difficult to accept when people spread irrationalities.
Well this an interesting question. Mankind created time as a tool to measure and calculate many things.
But if we have a closer look of what we measure with time, then it is probably only the change of energy.
What does a sun clock? It measures the movement of the sun or well of our planet. So it is displaying somehow the energy or work that it is needed for the planet to move.
What does a mechanic clock? It creates an impuls, mechanic work or well the energy to move the watch hand.
What does a digital clock? It uses energy, an impuls to display the change of seconds, minutes, hours..
What does an atom clock? It displays the energy change of a nuclear material.
So in all cases time as we use it only displays the change of energy. If we then can express time as energy then maybe time is really relative, because it could be compensated with the input or change of energy.
But we need time as a component in physics, so its an artficial tool that mankind created to be able to calculate.
Existence Is ... to Exist Is to Be ... for any Certain Duration, in the State of Being ... The State of Being, Is the Human Awareness, of Being ... Mind ... we Perceive as our Experiential ... of "Life" ...
For, Nothing Exists, Beyond The God Granted, Human Mind !
The "Duration" of Being, is variously calculated, or kept a tab of; the one popular these days, is the "Clock" ... a Transience Measuring Mechanical or Electronic Device.
In Quranic Law ... Matter, Space ... Time and Energy ... are "Generated by the "Form" ... In Manifesting unto The Ordained State of its Existential Reality ..."
To Exist, Is, to Be !
Please don't spew educational forums with nonsense!!
And don't be so conceited to think everything exists, just because you exist.
If I could, I would say, please avoid reading me ...
But there are others, besides yourself, who like to read what I say.
If you have no idea what is meant by "rational",and still you claim to do science, i can't even call you black!!
Theists are much better as they claim their books are divinely inspired and their ancestors are wise than themselves!
You are just calling an idiot, who wrote irrational notions, as your god, pitiful!
Time existed before the big bang , otherwise there would have been no big bangtime is relative to a partcular point at a particular moment. Unlike light, time is not a constant. Time passes differently for each of us, as it does on the moon or any of the planets. Time can speed up, and time can slow down. Time can stop completely, or move in reverse. The weird thing is, is that this all occurs and most of us don't notice athing.
...time exists only in the "conscious" mind of conceiver.
It's as simple as that.
Qwark
time is a consequence of space like a dimension. your question is like this:
is there a top? Is there a bottom?
"does time exists?"
I'll need time to think about that...
Time is a human concept.
We are in the past, the present, and the future all at once.
Only the present exists. A second ago is gone, a second from now hasn't happened, and when it does, it is then, now. Past is gone forever, and the future is constantly arriving in the now.
Might say time only exists if there is memory, to compare the present to the past.
I'd have to suggest reading up on J.M.E. McTaggart's "The Unreality of Time" and Arthur Prior's writings on "tense logic" and "the reality of the present."
From there, you can make up your own mind on which theory fits your understanding of the world.

ME
This is a statement that mankind (Not All of) has agreed upon OR we have been indoctrinated to believe that we agree upon.
And that could be right ???
=========================================================
in that sense time does not exist.
do not agree?
please define "exist"
also please tell me what is time.
for time to contract and expand it should be "something", right?
- = - = -
By definition (stated in OP) Time doesn't exist ; I guess we have been indoctrinated that it does ? and
NOT depending upon who was doing the indoctrinating.
(Just kidding)
Just goes to show ,,, some things DOES exist that doesn't fit within our definitions and/or understandings.
And I think that is a truthful statement such as was stated.
time is a man made concept that is really a measurement of the distance of the orbit of our planet around the sun. Therefore it would seem to me that this measurement would vary from place to place being different. The past present and future is/has happened all at once, and can be seen if you know how to disconnect your learned perception of time.
Well, in science, time is considered as a dimension just like length, breadth and height. And if you can't see anything or if anything doesn't have a shape then it doesn't means that it does not exist. For example, wind have you seen it??? but we know that it exist. and heat.....have you ever seen heat??? no.. but still we know it exist as we can feel it. these things also don't have any shape. similarly we can feel that time has passed. that means it exist. as time passes we grow, time passes and we remember all the memorable memories..... we talk about past, present and future. these past, present and future has no identity if time doesn't exist.
so in this way i don't believe that existence can be defined only on the basis of shape, physical appearance and location. it should be defined on the basis of feelings as well along with the above three.
Well Sneha
There are only three dimensions. A dimension is that denote the orientation, that is the architecture of an object. There are only three dimensions - length, breadth and height.
It doesn't matter whether we see it or not. Sun exists whether I see it or not, right?
"wind have you seen it??? but we know that it exist. and heat.....have you ever seen heat"
Wind is a concept. Wind does not exist. What we call wind is the movement of air molecules. It is the air molecules that exist. So is the case with heat!
"we talk about past, present and future."
We talk about all these as we have memory. Only an intelligent brain with memory can conceive past present and future. For all else it is present only.
Feelings have nothing to do with existence. existence exist irrespective of what you feel!
first of all, time is considered as the fourth dimension in science.....you believe it or not.....
secondly you said wind does not exist but air molecules do...... in this way you will say that human beings does not exist only cells do....because we are nothing but constitution of cells only..... so do you think human beings doesn't exist???? air molecule individually is just a single molecule but together they constitute wind. similarly cell constitutes human or any other organism. similar is in the case of heat. so if molecules exist then wind, with no doubt exist...... and if not then you can't say human beings exist.
lastly, the concept of past, present and future is totally based on time...... past is the TIME that is gone, present is the TIME that is currently going on and future is the TIME which is going to come......
The fourth dimension of time is required if we are to understand the orientation of the sun relative to the solar system, our planets and moons and it's position within our galaxy as these objects are in constant motion.
whatever be the case but time is considered is a dimension, the 4th dimension.. like in two dimensions only length and breadth is considered not height.... but that doesn't means that height is not a dimension.... similarly in one dimension only length is considered...
Just because you consider only one or two dimensions, the other dimensions don't cease to exist. Every object has form that is a shape. Everything with shape has 3 dimensions. Nothing exists that has less than 3 or more than 3 dimensions! You can draw a picture that is 2 dimensional, but it is just that, a picture, not an object.
Where are you drawing said picture if it is not a material object? Does sound exist? Sound doesn't conform to what your criteria demands at all, but sound is a form of force energy. Sound can be used as a weapon. It definitely exists.
Sound does not exist. Sound is a wave, a to and fro motion of air molecules which is conducted through air, which when strike our eardrum, makes it vibrate, which is transmitted through a set bones to fluid which stimulates our nerves, which reach our brain and we interpret it as sound!
"sound is a form of force"
A force is done by something, "to force"
"Sound can be used as a weapon"
It definitely can, as it is matter in motion!
It truly is amazing the examples you provide of what one can do and accomplish with something that doesn't exist.
yes, time is not considered to form/explain the shape of an object but it is the fourth dimension!!!!!
If there is no form, then there is no dimension, as dimension is used to represent "orientation". It is architectural.
If it is location you want to specify then it is co-ordinates you have to use.
Time is a concept that is used to denote two locations of an object.
Really? Then, what is used to denote one location of an object?
You start studying once again. You use the same word for different contexts you confuse, hence all your time dilation, length contraction and space expansion.
A location is denoted by co-ordinates, not dimension!!
Is an object's location based entirely on one co-ordinate?
Nope, get yourself right. 3 co-ordinates.
You don't differentiate between dimension and co-ordinate, length, distance and distance traveled and use all interchangeably.
No wonder your "science" is ..counterintuitive.
I never thought I would see this day...but yeah
you really are not seeing it are you? Like I see that it is not really sinking in.
The intelligent brain is experiencing time, it is not creating time in his head. We measured the experience of space in increments of the unfolding events and called it time. But the events are unfolding, they are not happening concurrently but rather in a sequence as we move outward out into space.
That is just philosophical nonsense coupled with flawed logic and specious claims. Talk about not really sinking in...
Hey Beel, did you not understand something within her statement?
Time is like Reality. It exists outside of humankind. We can measure it, therefore it exists. It's not that difficult to understand.
What is space?
Space is our conceptualization of "nothing". Only an idiot indoctrinated in relativity will say "nothing" expands, "something" arises from "nothing" and such nonsense.
time has no dimension, it IS a dimension.
how much does weight weigh sort of question.
The concept of "weight" only has meaning within a gravitational field in which one object's gravity potential is being compared to another within the same field.
yes, and your comment has no relevance to the point. as usual.
Actually it was relevant, it explained your dilemma of "weighing weight" as being rather redundant.
you just explained a joke. you do not explain a joke. how much does weight weigh is a demonstration of the logic flaw of "does time exist?" time is a measurement of something, does it exist? does it exist as what? it is a measurement of a dimension of space as it is experienced. without space, time cannot be experienced, so does time exist?
the question is wrong.
a descriptor, an attribute, an aspect wherein x is experienced.
Sorry, In Science nothing is experienced. Experience is the subject of neurologist and psychiatrist.
All we do is rationally explain.
"dimension of space as it is experienced"
Only objects has dimension. The three dimensions are length, breadth and height. Space is nothing, nor it has any shape or borders. Hence it has no dimension.
Time is what we use to describe the two locations of an object. Hence it need minimum two objects to have time and a device with memory to remember the previous location.
Time is a concept, conceived by intelligent brain!
*shakes head* the experience of time as well as space is a dimension. Because if you cannot experience time for instance, you will not know that today is different from yesterday, just as you cannot tell depth from width. It is the experience of the HUMAN that makes dimension relevant.
It takes some level of clarity to understand that everything is qualified by OUR observation because from another level of perception, things are actually quite different.
The absolutes you think you know is an experience of your perception.
Science is all about what we experience, the experience of gravity, the experience of the season, the experience of love, of pain and so on and so forth. You need to have MORE clarity.
Like for instance calling something a "concept". Do you even know what a concept is? A concept is an understanding as it is experienced.
Like for instance the concept of size, or numbers. They all are dependent on how they are experienced by the senses where a certain structure becomes the framework of the experience...you get? DO you get it?
No, it isn't. Our experiences have nothing to do with dimensions or making them relevant.
Nonsense, our perceptions have nothing to do with qualifying our observations. The observations qualify themselves.
Codswollop.
Well there's nothing I could do for you my dear.
Alas I try, but you really need to get you x/y axis in comprehension seen. You often get lost in the corn maze.
Experience or why the observer observed something is the subject of relativity nonsense. The sun exists whether you experience it or not.
Aren't neurologists considered scientists?!
yes, thank you for pointing it out. I need to go back to work.
Well, If you want. They are trying to figure out the workings of human brain, not nature.
The human brain is a product of nature. what are you talking about?
You are not equating any bigbang or objects or concepts in neuroscience.
In neuroscience we study why a human being think and act like he is, which part of brain is responsible for what, what structural defects cause behavioral abnormalities and like.......
Yes it too is a science as it is also trying to rationally explain the workings of matter, but in general when we say science we mean physics!
Yes, we can "see" what makes up our atmosphere and the reasons how it moves about.
Yes, we can see how molecules move faster when temperature (or pressure) increases.
No, physically we can't, which is why we need to refer to clocks and calendars.
Aging is proof of time. As well as plants growing and the like.
time exists even though it is a concept. It has a name (one to one correspondence between a thought and a word assigned to it) so it exists in thoughts only. It is not tangible or can be seen, nor can be justified by experiential/phenomenology.
On my end it stops between 10am and 7pm, after that it starts ticking again. Works the same every day.
Yes it does when you are having the time of your life. But, remember time waits for no man. So, as a timely reminder, I would suggest it is time for action.

Now that is a sad state of affairs .... when we can't agree as to what the word exist or time means....
Yep "we have cone a long way baby!"
No wonder I am causing so much war and conflict around the world;
Ain't that right MARK ?
We are ruled by time, it is always running out. The end comes all too fast, and we waste way too much of it. We spend 1/3 of our lives (average) sleeping, a third of our lives working (average) and a 1/3 of our lives waiting for something. Time exists, and if you aren't quick enough, time runs out for you, then you will know how important time was to you.
Time is like a river. It flows and continues to flow. It never stops for someone. It passes and we see. Either we can use it or ignore it. It's upto us that we that it exits if we use it properly and even think it does not just by denying it.....
an example of a one-dimensional person would someone who has one interest. One who is flat, boring, dull. He is interested 1950s highschool science for instance, that's it that's all. But his descriptor is not what he is, only what describes him, get it?
Oh, oh, oh!!! Pick me, pick me!!! I know the answer to that one!!!
(oh and to explain the joke just because I'm sure you won't understand... the question was ...does he get it?)
so even if I pick you what will you say..yes? no? how can you know if he gets it or not?
always missing the point by a degree or two, and that's being generous.
Well time dopes exist it is part of life but sometimes it governs all of us people I can say time is used in a variety of different ways it can be good or bad it is also something that keeps us organized.
