Hiya, I'm new here, so I don't really know if this topic has been here before, if so; I'm sorry.
I would like to know what time is, how people understand the concept.
I've got some questions to make my point:
Did time start at one point ore another?
Do you believe in time travelling?
Does time always exist, or are there times when time is not (contradictio interminis:p)?
Is time always the same, and if not, is that other part of time still called time?
Is time everlasting?
and 21046575465454223465765451455545 other questions=)
Euhm, space is important too ofc.
"timespace"
+ dimensions + ....
=)
think about it:p
and tell me😀
(pls)
=)
bb, Georgina

I've heard it defined as that direction in which entropy increases. I don't tend to think about it much myself.
Did time start at one point ore another?
I don't know.
Do you believe in time travelling?
Other than the standard travelling into the future we do at a fairly constant pace, I'd have to say again, I don't know.
Does time always exist, or are there times when time is not (contradictio interminis:p)?
That confuses me too. Hawking talks about the "start" of time, but how can time "start"?
Is time always the same, and if not, is that other part of time still called time?
I don't understand the question. Same in what respect?
Is time everlasting?
I don't know, and am confused by the concept of time "ending".
There might be an analogy between time and computer memory worth thinking about.
Before there was Random Access Memory (RAM) there was, let's say, Sequential Access Memory (SAM).
RAM has the advantage that it has addressable positions. You can opt to write to bank number 23 and byte number 7 in bank 23, go there and write it then later opt to read from there, go there and read it.
With SAM, you can only write to the next available position (I think this is how a disposable phone card works).
Time seems to be like SAM. What's written is written and then the next step comes up. Time isn't like RAM becase we have no reference upon which to address it.
Wish I had some beer left.

And I guess the sub-basis is that humans percieve time as moving from point A to point B.
Originally posted by georginaOn view of the matter--the Wittengensteinian one--is that people understand the meaning of the concept time perfectly well until they start assuming that it is a thing with properties that can be abstractly characterized, which deludes them into generating nonsensical metaphysical questions. So, when I say, "It's time we played a game of chess", or "Time's up!" you don't have a problem. But when you start to ask questions like whether "time" is a thing that has a property like "speed of passing", you get into an intellectual vortex of pointless puzzlement.

I don't fully agree with this position, but there is something to be said for it.

Yes, although it's not an article of faith for me.
No
No
What is time? Time is simply the replacement of the instant by the sequence.

Also, some quantum physicists like Steven Hawking suggest that time *did* have a beginning in a concrete way.
Consider the (slightly odd) question: where does a parabolic cone start from? Well, if we assume that we are moving from the narrow end towards the fat end, it starts at the curved apex of the cone. However, the start here is infinitely small: the further your "travel back" to get there, the smaller it gets, before vanishing to a point.
So, in a sense, it has a beginning, and there is no need for a "before".

Time is what you make of it.
It is variable in respect to accelleration and mass.
Or it is one of the variables required to make General Relativity work.
Or it is inversely tolerant to Mass Increase. As Mass Increases, Time Slows. So in the absense of all "matter cum space/time" would time speed up to ... what?
My best guess is that it is a "plug-in" value related to "quantum mind" that is yet to be discovered and defined. When it is, it will plug into general relativity and quantum mechanics as the bridge between Relativity and Quantum mechanics. It is the missing link to TOE, ie, The Theory Of Everything.
