Well, I wrote this down a while ago, during algebra class when I was bored. Thought this might be an interesting thing to discuss. I'm not exactly sure if it was automatic writing or what, but it's interesting just the same.

I want to see what everyone's opinion is on this. Feel free to ask any questions, I'm curious to see where this leads.

Oh and feel free to move this if it's in the wrong forum, I'm not sure if it is.

If time is an illusion caused by change,
does it mean
that there is no such thing
as time?
What if
everything
that has happened,
will happen,
and is happing now,
is happening at the same time,
because there is no time?
The only way
we can prove time exists,
is by measuring time;
by using time.
So how can we prove
that time really exists?
We see change, not time.
Believe it or not,
there is no time.
There is no beginning,
nor an end.
Why can we see no end
but not see no beginning?
Infinity exists because
there is no time where it stops.
But few people realize
that infinity must go
both ways.

Time is an enigma.

When my mom had her stroke, she was in a coma for 3 days. As far as she knows, those 3 days never happened because she has no recollection of the events taking place. Her memory picks up right as she regained consciousness.

She jokes now that she is 3 days younger than she might have been...

Meh...just a thought.

Curious thoughts. It would seem there are almost two forms of time. Human time, and material time. If humans do not percieve time, such as when they are in a coma, upon waking, time has not passed, in their reality. However, the movement of matter through space is still recorded. Human's perceptions of time can be altered, but this alteration does not bear effect on the rest of the matter in the universe.

When you remove time as we comprehend it in our spacetime continuum you create the ultimate paradox, entropy at both the maximum and the minimum. Look at it from a 3D point of view you would have everything and nothing simultaneously. Minimum entropy or zero entropy would be a logical impossibility in spacetime, perfect order from ultimate disorder but remember what is impossible in spacetime is not bound by our rules outside of spacetime. Just to conjecture if one were removed from spacetime to view it from another dimension it would seem like looking a a tapestry of pictures with every probability representd with beings moving around the images in every direction.

time as we know it is a measurement 1 hour 2 hour 1 day 1 year one month but everything else is just a neverending cycle day night planet destroyed planet born

i believe time does exist,as it is needed for things to happen, how can you prove you are sitting there reading this, you can give me your location but by the time i read your reply you may no longer be there, i need to know the time you were there in order to validate your existance, you need time in order for things to exist, time can be manipulated but that does not mean it isnt actually a true dimension, for all we know the 3 spacial dimensions we observe may very well be manipulated, and as a matter of fact, the earths rotation actually pulls on our orbiting satelites actually distorting the dimension so i believe my idea is a possibility

How can something happrn at the same time if their is no time?

Not that I'm saying your wrong.

Time goes full circle, but by the time you get to your starting point, you starting point has changed, the past is always changing into the future. Time is a sphere, but in two dimesnions, it's a circle, if you stayed in the same point in time, then what you see would skip ahead depending on the rate of change, which depends on people's movement around time and the length of time.
