Does it have a shape? Is it man made? Does it even exist?

Gravity can very well be human perception, it has no mass or particles so we just assume it exists.

Only for mankind. It's simply an analog measurement of the passage of the day and the seasons.

gravity is just the name of the force that presses down on objects at 9.8m/s, it exists hence why we able to study objects of different masses at varying gravity

I think the fact that were not all flung into space means gravity is a force.

Obviously to hear everyone's opinion, because theories are still theories.

LOL our opinion? its not really and opinion based topic from people without a degree in quantum mechanics. How do you expect anyone on this thread (there might be 1, MAYBE, on this website) to have more knowledge on that subject then that person in the video who clearly has a degree or PhD in quantum mechanics. That video is the best explanation you will hear from this thread

You may get theories, but dont expect them to be very good or to have much academic evidence, thus I would find them quite pointless

Time is just a form of measurement. A way of man trying to understand the world... trouble is one man doesn't have enough time to understand it all.

It has a name doesnt it? It should also have an age an a personality! it can be annoying, it can be a life saver or a life taker, it helps to cure those wounds that no other person can cure, it makes you miss it, it makes you wish it away. Time is like that thing that you can live without you know! but at the same time you wish it would go away, just like women!

I'm not worried about turning 30. I'm worried about eventually hating time which I estimate will be at about 30.

I wouldn't worry, we're all dead in just over a year anyway.

Time doesn't exist.

I tried to explain that to my professor when I came in late for a test one day, but he didn't buy it for some reason.:(

There is a theory that basically states that time and motion are synonymous. There is another that says there is a near infinite number of inter-dimensional copies of every single particle in the universe, each one being frozen in its own place in time-space. And yet another that states that time is merely human perception and does not exist at all.

Don't spend too much time thinking about it, you will only hurt yourself.

The title is somewhat hyperbolic. Time doesn't have a shape; that's not a physically meaningful concept.

Oh, and dear internet pseudo-philosophers: saying 'time doesn't exist' doesn't make you clever. It just makes you look silly. Time exists. It's a dimension.

It's the fourth dimension, one dimension above us which we can't comprehend. I read stuff about dimensions once, pretty interesting. Anyway, no way to know if you ask me.
