Does time exist?

[Write4U]

Both you and clock would have AGED 24 hours

False equivalence. The clocks themselves age physically, but unless they have a calendar built in, they work circularly in 12 hr cycles. It is impossible to derive an age from a regular clock. That's why we have created different time-frames for specific measurements, such as *half-life*, *military-time*.

Moreover, a stationary clock will run at a different speed when accelerated. At what point can true*age* be measured and established.

Tme counts passage of duration (chronology) in specific increments. Age is the sum total number of increments expressed as an equation (=), i.e. Age = sum of Time increments..

This is similar to the *Half-Windsor* tie-knot = mathematical sequence of specific actions.
Half-Windsor = Li +Ro + Ci + Lo + Ri + Co + T
Water = H2O
Age = sum of arbitrary time increments

The term *Age* has no value in and of itself. It must be equated with *time of duration*

Sorry have not replied just yet been busy

Part of my busy was finding my electronic book The Invention of Space and Time from which many of my ideas come from

I then Bluetoothed the book over to my phone from which I make post

It will make it possible to cut and paste which is easier than read and type

Now I need time to even do cut and paste

Cheers

The age is a particular time of animated or inanimated being.

PHILOCHRON CLASSIFICATION OF BEINGS

According to their duration, things are classified in: Eternal, enduring, perishable, ephemeral, fleeting and non-existent.

A) Eternal things have no beginning or end; Like space. For believers, God and Paradise are eternal.

B) Lasting things last a long time. They are divided into:

- Centenarians, if they last from 100 to 999 years. For example the spruce tree and the saguaro cactus.

- Millennials, from 1000 to 999,000 years. The redwood trees.

- Millionaire, more than a million years. The geological eras, the life of the planets and the stars.

C) Perishable things are short-lived; They last from one day to 99 years. The life of the human being.

D) Ephemeral things are short-lived, some hours.

E) The fleeting things are of very short duration, some seconds or fractions of second. The flicker, the heart rate.

F) Non-existence is lack of existence, without duration. Planet X between Mars and Jupiter. All things have existence and essence.

At what point in this thread did "does time exist" morph into "can time affect things by itself"?

The question is:
"Does time exist?"
The answer is, unequivocally, yes.

OK if you say so

 

[Michael 345]

The question is:
"Does time exist?"
The answer is, unequivocally, yes.

The answer is a firm unequivocal no questions asked may be debatable possible or not uncertainty if you think about it and taking everything into consideration we may or might not know even if we get more information we will be unsure

 

[Michael 345]

A small example which addresses the existence of the past and future.

I found the electronic book The Invention of Space and Time and this is a small extract

******
But there is no time in pure mathematics.
Although the concept is used in applied mathematics (in mathematical models of
physics), its nature has never been described by mathematicians. When we analyze a mathematical model, a field model effect tends to make us believe that time is an active factor in evolving systems, and that time is a physical phenomenon. In fact, time is a reference parameter; it is an abstract concept, rather than a physical phenomenon.
The characteristics of temporality can be summarised:
• There are no time sources and no time detection.
• Time is physically powerless with respect to variations or changes such as aging.
• The phenomenology of time, including the arrow of time, collapses.
• The definitions were developed through conceptual correspondences.
• Time is not a component of the Universe: time does not contain any information about the Universe and time is not necessary for reporting phenomena, e.g., the Big Bang occurred c. 13.7 billion years ago, which is equivalent to 13.7 billion terrestrial revolutions.

This attests to the idea that time has no physical properties, which is a major
additional argument in favour of the idea that time does not exist:

NO PHYSICAL PROPERTIES = PHYSICAL INEXISTENCE

*******

I'm not sure if I have picked the best example

That would entail cut and paste the whole book

If you can find the book its a good read but on the heavy side

Cheers

I agree. Time emerges from mathematical functions.

I agree, time does not exist for something that does not exist..

I agree, Time has NO physical existence. Obviously the equation is flawed. It should read,
"NO PHYSICAL PROPERTIES = NO PHYSICAL EXISTENCE".

Time itself has no mathematical function except as a by-product, expressed in arbitrary increments of duration, such as the regular 24hr rotation of the moon around the earth.

 

[Write4U]

Correction. That last paragraph about duration of rotation around the sun should read

Earth 0.99726968 days = 0ᵈ 23ʰ 56ᵐ 4.0910ˢ

TIME IS NOT AN ILLUSION

The horizon is the visual limit of the earth's surface, where the sky and the earth seem to gather together. In a reflexive approach, we realize that time is part of a trilogy: becoming-duration-time. Becoming is the continuous succession of unrepeatable changes (becoming flows). The duration is the relation between two sequential moments. Time is the variable that increases continuously (time is mathematical). When we think that time is an illusion we do not differentiate between this one, becoming and duration, We see time as an invisible river that drags us all.

PS: The concept of duality becoming-duration (time) changes to the becoming-duration-time Trilogy.

Sorry don't see connection

Becoming is the continuous succession of unrepeatable changes (becoming flows)

So becoming never actually becomes?

What would have becoming become if it stopped becoming?

The duration is the relation between two sequential moments.

Duration is age not time

Time is the variable that increases continuously (time is mathematical). When we think that time is an illusion we do not differentiate between this one, becoming and duration,

I can't really pick this apart

We see time as an invisible river that drags us all.

Some might I don't

PS: The concept of duality becoming-duration (time) changes to the becoming-duration-time Trilogy.

I'm not aware of this concept of duality becoming trilogy

This is the first I have seen this concept mentioned

The whole post has a sort of mystical tone

I will post again my views

Time does not exist
Time does not flow
Time does not have any direction
Only NOW exist
The PAST does not exist
The FUTURE does not exist

The duration is the relation between two sequential moments.

No , duration , is the movement between two objects .

Another definition of duration is: Duration is the continuous and defined permanence of things and their changes in a particular place, state or condition.

Another analogous trilogy is: space-extension-length

 

[Write4U]

IMO, understanding *time* is akin to understanding *distance*. Neither can exist independently, but both are the result of measurement of change.
