Time is just a human concept.It really doesn't exist.

It's hard to think about time as a basic value in our universe. We need to describe it in different things we can maybe understand or see... How can we do it ? I don't know, but, we manage our life and make predictions and plans according to it. We set appointments, we set events and record history to learn and remember things for the future. It works if we understand how things work and act accordingly, taking in account everything. Well, if you only see life as here and now, you miss something that defines you. Your history, your dreams and plans for the future...think about it.

hi savy Is there a mind controlling all this?..uhmm..we can't be sure.But don't you think, this belief is slowing our scientific progress and understanding?If everyone including me and you firmly believed that god created all this,we wouldn't have come this far. It is only because some people questioned the 'God theory',we came to know so much about those other galaxies and all.Before hubble did anyone had any clue that our universe had billions and billions of galaxies.Now they tell us that,God created these galaxies,quasars,blackholes and all. To be on the safer side we should all believe in God,what if he/she/it really exists and is kind as we think him to be.

Hi Stringer It is so hard to explain.Everything is in our mind our memory. [b]"I don't know, but, we manage our life and make predictions and plans according to it.

Before big bang there was no time,it doesn't mean that if you go back to a time 'before'(which isn't there) big bang with a watch in our hand,the watch won't stop.Thats because there is something in the Universe that is moving,the watch. Did you get the idea?

I just wanted to address the actual title of this discussion, "time is just a human concept and it doesn't really exist," what I was trying to say is that TIME as we know it... in minutes, hours, days... is not an illusion but a structure that we have created in order to mark the passing of events. Time does exist but differently then how we perceive it, but this does not make it an illusion it just makes it a perspective that we use so that we can perceive life events in a better way. So, I guess that is the short of the long.

Hi Stringer That is definitely weird.Thats again reinforces the fact that,time is not as relevant as we thought it to be.It is somewhat like gravity,while gravity depends upon the object's size and composition(correct me if I am wrong,I have my doubts),Time depends upon its speed.Since everybody is travelling with the earth,solar system and the galaxy milky way,our speeds can be considered the same.That is why all of us on this planet experience the same time. If all of us had different velocities,we would have been be experiencing different duration of time,and it would have been perfectly sane for us to think about it that way. We take way too many things for granted,it is because of that we are not able to comprehend new ideas(right or wrong).Time is one of those things.

Why must age be relative to time? Just curious. The only reason you say this is because the main tool for measuring age is through time. But does it have to be so? We can age even without time. For it is the passing of events that make us "age." It is: learning to walk, learning to talk, learning language, learning tools, learning problem solving, learning the mechanics of romance, learning how to drive, learning how to date, learning how to further our careers, and learning how to be a proper parent. All of these things are not measured by our age, but by our expertise which comes in time right? Or does it come with the events of maturity? I think it is the later. The more experience we obtained, the more mature we get and we get experience not through time, but with the passing of events that mould us and those events are only relative to the time that you are thinking of because that is the only way we know how to measure and tag our life events. Furthermore, maturity is not determined by time, but rather by will, thinking, and development.
