Interesting view on time from some whacko

[The_Q]

That's the point I made in posto numero uno, NeoDarkHeart. Thank you...I didn't know how to clarify. Duration should be considered to be all present. This little chat I had with a crazy girl taught me that. It's all present, past and future. Only problem is that the present moves to fast to measure, so we measure what happened previously in order to measure what will happen next. I don't know if that made sense, it barely does to me...oh, wait, there it goes. I lost myself. Thanks for wasting your time on me...again.

You can't say that time was created to let us know when statrbucks opens because you cant creat time. Time has and always will exist, and so will past, present, and future, just because we named it time doesnt mean that it wouldnt exist if we didnt name it.

But... time flows like a river... and history repeats.

Time can't have always existed. It's set up with the past, present, and the future, so how can the past stretch back forever? It has to have a beginning. Time is a flowing river, but it sure keeps us in some narrow banks.

But it is there whether we like it or not.

I was just quoting Secret of Mana in a slightly relevant way.

There was no real meaning to my post.

At all.

time always has exsisted. Even if there was nothing time was going. Before anything happened and there was no universe or before what ever you believe happened there was still time, i believe that the unvirse has always been so things could have happened to something and it would have happened in a period of time. Even if you believe that at one pont there was nothing, there was nothing for a certain amount of time. No matter how i look at it there has always been time. There was time before we were created and ther was time before our solar system was created. No matter what went on before us time accurred.

Because, if time is like a river, then it will ultimately empty into the ocean or another large body of water where it will evaporate into the atmosphere and form clouds which will ultimately preciatate and eventually fall into the same river from which it originated....or soemthing like that.

But that entire process takes a little time which is kind of a paradox, unless Time can be controlled by Time.

This is just like there is no such thing as Tomorrow... because when it becomes the next day it is Today

*poke apple*

time was created by humans. it's a physical/mathmatical manifestation of what the universe calls "sh!t happening".

besides. if humans werent here, time wouldnt exist. sh!t would happen, oh yes, but there would be no time. if every human died, nobody would be there to say it's noon, and nobody would care, because the earth did just fine without humans telling it what time it was.

Ok im goign to refer to a saying that i absolutely hate... If a tree falls in the middle of a forest and no one or nothing is around to haer it, does it make a sound? Of course it makes a sound. Sound is waves that the ear picks up and turns it into what we hear... So if there is a dollar on the ground and no one is around to pick it up, it still exists. Time does exist... The word might not have existed but there would stil be a noon if we werent here it just wouldnt be called noon. If you are looking at time as 1:00 on saturday in May 1989, your looking at it in the wrong way... We created marking points for time, without the marking points time would still go on but nothing would record it, but that doesnt mean it doesnt exist.

Wow I was looking through these forums and I just had to start an account for the sole purpose of informing NeoDarkHheart that you are lacking some very important brain cells. Or to be blunt you're stupid, seriouly if I were you I'd constantly hate myself for being so stupid. I'm usually never this opinionated toward a subject but you have no logic to back up anything you say. Do you even read what they are telling you? Can you even read what they are telling you? Is your mommy telling you what they wrote? To type are you using one of those voice programs the takes what you say and puts it in text onto your computer. Thats honestly how stupid I believe you are. So far you've shown no signs of any form of CRITICAL THINKING which is what this area is designated for isn't it? Lemme try to highlight what they've been tryingg to tell you. TIME is the NAME we gave to the PHENOMENON that occurs. Whether you want to NAME it TIME or you could even name it BOB, point is it's there by ALL NATURAL means. NO Human could put it there. Humans created MANY MEASUREMENTS, TIME happens to be ONE of the MEASUREMENTS that HUMANS designed in order to MEASURE certian QUANTITIES of something already in EXISTENCE. I hope this makes sense to you otherwise I'll explain it as I would a elementary student and that's no joke. If you can't understand this concept than god help you. That brings me to a good question. You're entitled to with-hold this information, but what (if any) religious belief do you follow? I think that may possibly be the primary source for your faults : p

[brutisgrr]

Time is an illusion created by human to let him/her think that what he/she is doing is worthwhile to the rest of the universe. All matter is always moving, and all that remains of yesterday is a record of where the matter used to be. Thats why time travel will never work. Because the past doesn't exist anymore (unless there's more than universe... Ack! it hurts!), we can never return to it except by recreating the movements and patterns that once were. The future is, technically, where we will be later, in a different position every step of the way. Even more technically, there is no present, just the future becoming what we are now.

And true phychics are people that can read events as they are now and try to make an educated guess on what will happen in the future. None of that "you're gonna live long" or " you'll make lots of money" crap.

[The_Q]

Happyfoot, since you are so keen on pointing out the lack of logic in other's posts, how about I point out yours. In another thread, NeoDarkHeart and I established the fact that Time is the name that humans have given to something we call Duration, another name for the phenonmenon. Time is simply the measurment. Duration is the actual movement of existance.

Now, for your largest mistakes. Half of your post was entirely bringing down the writer. This is wrong, especially when you only read what seems to be one short post the writer made. He knows better, you know better, we all know better. If he is at fault for continuing a previously stated post from another thread, what are you? Correct? You claimed him wrong for stating the exact same thing as you did. The only difference is in the wording.

Q

EDIT: Use logic in yours as well. Putting the writer down doesn't count as logic.

Note: this post does not further the discussion at all. Please just ignore it and move on.

[TheAppleEater]

He didn't say the same thing as NeoDarkHeart. He said the opposite.

time was created by humans.

TIME is the NAME we gave to the PHENOMENON that occurs

How those come out to be the same thing is beyond me.

And if you and NeoDarkHeart established that in another thread why was he so reluctant to agree with me in this thread?
