Is time real or is it just a myth?

it is a myth by which the world moves!\nit is a myth by which people do many things.!\nlike, no one wants to wake up on mondays! but they have to cos they have to b at work/skool etc on TIME!\ntime is infact not real at all.\nthere is no thing like time.\nyou can't feel time.\nyou can't see time.\nits only cos the clock ticks, u call it time!\n--------------x-----------------------------\nif you think time is a myth then i think u need help.

Time does not really exist.  It has a temporal existence that is passing and fading and decaying.  Put simply, there will be a last day, just as there was a first and as such time will have no claim to true existence.  Time will be swallowed by timelessness, as it was before time.  \n\nTime can only exist as timelessness moves aside, and creates a void of timelessness in which time may exist temporally.  Timelessness is the absolute from which time is derived, and upon which time is contingient.\n\nHowever, if you belive that you exist.  then you can say "i am."  You have temporal existence.  But only as the ABSOLUTE "I AM" moved aside for a while so that you could exist within the void of Himself.  You can only say that you are because the Great "I AM" made a place for you by getting out of the way.  \n\nThe Lord is the Absolute "I AM" from which you derived and upon which your ability to say "i am" is contingient.  You would not exist had not God existed before you and moved himself through compression to create a void in which you may temporarily exist.   The only reason you can say "i am" is that God says "I AM."\n\nFurthermore, your temporal existence is the PROOF that absolute existence is the true reality.  Want to disprove God's existence?  Then you must make yourself (and everyone else) non-existant, because each breath you take .. and each moment that someone can say "i am" is the proof of an absolute reality that says "I AM."\n\nGod is beyond the cosmos, and has moved aside to create a void of Himself in which you now exist - the cosmos ... a temporal void.

no. time is continuous, the intervals we use to measure it are just for our own measurement so we can compare it to itself and see how much of it has gone by.  There can be infinite intervals of time.  For example a second, a millisecond (.001s) a nanosecond(.000000001s) and you can always move the decimal one place more, making an infinate number of intervals for time, and therefore an infinate number of 'frequencies.' also, frequency is a characteristic of a wave, and time is definately not a wave.  And if there was a way for time travel, it would involve insanely fast velocities due to velocity distorting time as I have described in an answer to your previous question...

Time is like light it curves, and we are part of a time line that can not be changed if it was to do so we would be living in a parallel universe so yes time dose exist.  Oh by the way here is a little test to prove that time dose exist it just dose not matter.  The next time you see some one look at there watch count to 30 and ask them what time it is, the person will then look at there watch again and give you the time.  The point is only 30 sec has gone by yet they had no idea what time it was this is because people do not care what time it is , they care about what time it is not.  they know that there meeting is at 3pm it's only 1pm  there fore they can care less what time it is.  So with that said time exist, but really dose not matter.

I have always been interested in this.  I view time like a long chain being wrapped around a pole.  The more it wraps around the faster it gets.

No we cannot. The time travel stories are our over enthusiastic mind's work. It just cannot be possible. Unless we attain speed of light. Do u believe in relativity? think about it... maybe u will find answers there.

Time is relative.  It doesn't really exist.  Time is effected by the speed of motion, and is not an object.

Time and distance are not man-made concepts - they are descriptions of the perceptions of man. For that matter the language you use to pose this question is fundamentally man-made, created in an effort to relate these perceptions to one another.  Furthermore, the simple act of "measurement" changes the nature of any perceived phenomenon.  So how can you expect a "truth" removed from man, when the world we know is always perceived through man?

*Edit*\nSorry for editing again!\nTo answer your questions. Yes the past still exists! But objects in the past have a fixed (p,q,r,s,u,v,w,x,y,z,t) location (where each letter represents another dimension in space, t = time). To realise this, think about where you were last Friday at exactly 4:00pm. You're position at that time will never change again. Wherever you were, that's where you'll always have been last Friday at 4:00pm. The rest of this post explains why you cannot go back to that time without dramatic changes in your string physiology, but that time travel may be possible for some types of matter (possibly supersymmetric matter?). Unless matter has moved backward along the time dimension, it cannot move forward, because the time dimension is expanding along with the rest of the universe.\n\nI had this discussion on a drive up to play hockey in Edmonton the other day. Here's my idea but I don't know if it is true:\n\nYes, time travel is possible. Time is just like the three other open dimensions we are used to - you can travel back and forth along the 3 space dimensions and it is possible that things (notice I don't say people, keep reading to find out why) can move back along time. But as far as I know, the four dimensions of space and time do not have radii like the 5-11 compactified dimensions of M-Theory do. Therefore something travelling in time cannot loop back to the same place in time that it was before. Thus you could not go back in time and have yourself arrive at the same place in spacetime that you are today. The dimension is linear.\n\nThe MOST important part of this is the idea of symmetry breaking. In my mind, symmetry breaking accounts for why something traveling back along the time dimension will not encounter the same events that originally occurred when it started it's motion along time. Symmetry breaking is a time dependent event. The easiest way to explain it is to reference the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost. Events in time diverge at critical points (usually at critical values for state variables like temperature). Travelling back in time would cause disorder of various aspects of energy and matter in the universe, and different bifurcation paths, or "decisions", might occur, effectively changing the future in ways imperceptible to things that are made up of baryonic matter, which leads me to my final point.\n\nThe only objects that could time travel are those made up of closed, unattached strings. The strings of ordinary matter, like that which we are made up with, are open ended and attached to dimensions. This is why the mass that makes up us and objects like the sun distort spacetime. Time actually travels slower as you approach mass, and this is what causes masses to move toward each other. Time gets warped and masses fall towards spacetime that is in a lower transient state. What makes us up is effectively 'attached' to time, so unless we could change ourselves to be made up of matter of closed loop strings, we cannot attach ourselves from time. This also means we cannot leave our universe either, but that's another story.

Best Answer! \nThis is recorded fact, at the Grenwich university time museum.\nIt is said that you travel in time when you take a fast jet around the world and arrive back in the same spot. The nuclear clock was used to prove this.

In a colloquial manner: GOD > TIME

no, because time is only a mesurement that we humans have come up with.  if anything, you can't travel through time because there are an infinite number of universes constantly being created.

yes. everyone is a time traveller. in fact, even now you are travelling from a past to a future. the present is but a trasistory period of your journey.

No. Time is connected to space in our own definition. Time is based on earth's revolution around the sun, and rotation on its axis. so it is relevant only to our own perspective.

time is something that humans have created so, no

cool question ! i dont believe in time travle , and thats a good point ! thanks

If it's not real, it's not a fact. You can't find an unreal fact, because a fact is something that is real and true..... You could make something up and call it a fact, but it wouldn't be.
