I was definitly thinking about what time REALLY is.. To me i believe that time is a bookmark in life, think about this.. Time helps people be on time to the places they need to be, its a starting point and a stopping point of the day.. the sun comes up it goes down.. they have a time for it.. but if there is no TIME aka clocks, the world would be going insane.. im just askin ya all do you agree or think that TIME is a bookmark?? could we adjust if there was no clocks?? or time was not an obligation... i no there would be confusion, but couldn't people learn to live with out it!?

There's really no way to get rid of clocks. I'm saying that because the sun, moon, stars and seasons are all natural clocks.

aww thats what im saying.. but is time just a bookmark..like its 1:43.. but what is 1:43 to people.. its just a regime to keep a daily schedule..

if there is not "time" then we all procrasinate grin2.gif

i mean, if we dont do it by "this time" would we ever?

even DNA keep time record. as a baby you will grow this...and as you become an adult, you'll grow this.

prehaps time is a funermental element, like energy.

I think I see what you're getting at. The measure of time like that is a neccesity for the industrialized world. Without it we would have much simpler, and less stressful lives.

There are many cultures that have a different concept of time (compared to the industrialized world). For example, in some cultures there is no hour, week, month etc., there is rains, dry, shifting camp, when an age-set became men etc

eg. oecological time refers to reflections of their relations to the environment
structural time refers to reflections of their relations to one another in the social structure.

There lives are also much simpler, and usually less stressful. A year ago durring a psychology class we discussed the "Paradox of Advancement". It had to that we keep making things to make our lives easier, however they are actually making it more stressful. We make computers to compute our work faster, however that just means we have more work to do. We have cars and planes to get us to places at a set time, however that just creates more stress since we have these we are undoubtly expected to make it to these appointments on time. The more we create to make our lives easier, the more complicated and stressful it actually becomes.

Personally, I wouldn't mind regressing back to a simpler more primitive style of life.
