do you believe time exists?

if it exists then what does it do? it doesn't affect anythingZumaJones07

if time doesnt do anything, then what does do something?

this very thread is a waste of time bringing you closer to your death... because time exists and you are effected by it.

Yes

Time exists, yes. Otherwise we wouldn't be going anywhere.

no its a human idea to measure the passing of events.

At this point, the popular theory is that space and time are so closely linked that it's improper to differentiate the two. Hence, "spacetime."BranKetra

i think you are missing the point... spacetime cant exist without time.

time exists.

Time itself does exist we just invented all the different ways to measure it.

Of course. God cooked up a big time pie and cut into little slices which we like to call hours, minutes and seconds.

I think Time is an awesome song, and do believe it does exist.

My computer, cell phone and alarm clock tell me the time, therefore it must exist.

Time in itself is fabricated but the passing of time is real and to say it is fake is to be a bit too high on drugs.

We change it's properties like relative velocity with speed or mass.

I think a better question is 'what is time?'

A lot of people misinterpret what time actually is. It's not an actual thing (it's hard to explain) It's just the explanation of how matter interacts.Overlord93

i still don't think time exists as an entity by itself because everything is physical and time is not physical. Time does not affect any parts of the universe because the universe is actually governed by the speed of light, which is a physical and measurable entity. Time is just good for us humans to keep track of stuff. do you believe time exists?ZumaJones07

speed = rate / time

I win no?

I do believe time exists, it is my understanding that it is intertwined with space itself. Without time, space does not exist, because if there is no time, there is no speed of light for space to abide by. Kinda scary.

... Of course it does.. Gravity can affect the speed of time.. Hence why satilites in orbit, namely gps ones, need to have a program that auto corrects their time.. Because time passes by at a different rate then on the surface, its extremely extremely extremely small difference.. But its a difference over time that would lead the system to not do its job.

Not sure if Zuma is trolling or merely an idiot, but it would be a bit easier to make the argument that time didn't exist if the universe was static. Well, actually, it would be impossible to do anything, but you get the idea. And time is actually p. important in that sh!t happens and is rather measurable through the change of time.

if it exists then what does it do? it doesn't affect anythingZumaJones07

Except that everything is moving along the Thermodynamic arrow of time towards greater entropy

time in spacetime doesn't existZumaJones07

Time is a man made construct in terms of the clock and years, etc. Time does exist in that there is a past present and future though. Spacetime is really confusing though and physics blows my mind in that regard.
