And your years are called......?
Come on you can do it
Time
Nooooo
Nobody says I am 70 times old
Not even those with Alzheimer's
Like to try again?
No

WHAT IS THE FUTURE?
The future is the set of events that have not happened. These events may be possible (the tomorrow day) and fortuitous (a car accident). The future can be close (hours, days) and far (years, decades).
----------------------------------------------
At the age of 15 I felt that Time was walking.
At 35 I felt Time was running.
Now with 53 I feel that Time flies.

Hi
My access here is on a Android phone
The post are not numbered on my format
My take on time is as follows
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
Below is a excellent description followed by the reference
If you drop every model, something surprising happens.
They are not needed.
For example, you can view your daily life as occurring entirely in the present moment.
The present moment is not a clock phenomenon.
Clocks measure intervals--seconds, minutes, hours--while the present moment has no interval.
It's always here, endlessly renewing itself, unmeasurable, and fleeting.
Because the instant you try to capture it, it's gone.
This implies that the "now" is actually outside time.
It can be defined either as instantaneous or eternal.
Both are valid as verbal descriptions but in the end invalid, since the vocabulary of time doesn't apply to the timeless.

dp/dt forces physics to treat "Space" (set of all possible positions) and "Time" (set of all possible moments per position) as 'real'.. but it doesn't force or imply that either "Space" or "Time" are physical, material entities that can be described like fluids or puppy dogs or chunks of fishing line.

The triangle is abstract, it exists
ab·stract
\ab-ˈstrakt, ˈab-ˌ\
adjective
- : relating to or involving generalideas or qualities rather thanspecific people, objects, or actions
Nooooooo
Unless you are talking about the musical instrument
The philochron line is abstract, it exists
The phyllochron is the intervening period between the sequential emergence of leaves on the main stem of a plant, also rendered as leaf appearance
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllochron
What this has to do with time?????

In the philochron line we visualize the flow or passage of time.
My apologies
Combination of a late night and dyslexia
However philochron line the duration would be AGE not time
From one particular NOW to another particular NOW is AGE
AGE is not time
"AGE"..."duration"... "t1--t0"... If "time" isn't real, they're all just fancy terms for 'zero'.
In the ancient metaphysics, the minimum requirement to say a thing EXISTS was that it have extension.
So any thing which has a non-zero AGE exhibits temporal extension and thus demonstrates the existence of "time" -- regardless of presence of any 'substance' or 'plenum'.
(The same goes for any non-zero volume demonstrating "space".)

If you think time exist please when you have collected a sample let me know
Depending on whether you have collected it as a
- Gas
- Liquid
- Solid
- Plasma or
- Other
If you collect to much I will arrange for a large museum to place it on display
I await with breathless anticipation

The measurements of which you speak are arbitrary and do not relate to any physicality
The intervals of which you speak are from one randomly picked NOW to a further randomly picked NOW
The change between the two is denoted AGE
What exist is NOW
The PAST does not exist
The FUTURE does not exist
Only NOW has existence
Time does not exist
Time does not flow
Time does not have any direction

ALL highlights are mine
I do have more which I can post much of which has already been posted
But at the moment it is just past 5am in the morning here in Darwin Australia and I need a bit more sleep
In the meantime I am not sure what time it is where you live but if you can parcel up some of this physical time of which you speak I will pay you at the rate of $10 for every physical second up to 10 seconds worth
That will take care of 10 of my friends Christmas presents
When I ask for help they frequently say "In a second"
Once I receive your parcel of seconds I will be able to give them one within which they can help
quantities of some physical properties of things
Sorry that does not make sense
time is transnow or transmoment (duration)
Neither does that and I'm sure it doesn't come from my idea of time which is pure and simple
Time does not exist
I wish I could claim the ideas as mine
Much of my ideas about time come from a book which I will chase up later
Meantime I will claim the following which I posted already but worth repeating
But I can have another shot with a slightly different take on my time like a movie style explanation
By the way it relates to any visual recording medium just film is the easiest medium to visualise
Lay out on a bench a strip of movie film
Looking at each frame you see a sequence of stills
Between the stills is a break
Running the film through the projector the light is cut off when the break is passing between the light and the projector lens (and on to the screen)
Run the film at high speed when making the movie and normal speed when playing back and you get slow motion
Run the film at very slow speed when making the movie and normal speed when playing back you get time lapse or stop motion (have to put time lapse because that is the current definetion - not what I would have put)
There are other effects you can manipulate film to show but not in relation to this post
Now stop the movie so only one frame is shown (as this is a thought bubble forget about the film bursting into flames)
So
Projector stopped
Single frame being shown
Now as you look at the screen you see the subjects still moving
What is going on?
The subjects moving in the single frame are NOW
Those in the single frame being shown cannot move down to the frames below the lens which is the past
They also cannot move up to the frames above the lens which is the the future
Check back at the projector
Film not moving
Single frame being shown
Strip of film below the lens is the past but as far as lens is concerned it does not exist
Strip of film above the lens is the future but as far as the lens is concerned it does not exist
But wait there is more
It is fact it is mistake to view TIME as a movie with a succession of still frames
NOW has always been a single frame not needing old frames as past and new frames as future
So now we can consider TIME as a single SLIDE in a slide projector
Now our puzzle is how physics produces a smooth single unbroken NOW full of movement and change (which are somewhat the same)
Anybody???
PS
Still waiting on the packet of 10 individual seconds
