Think about it this way, very simple thing but I think you can get it:
You have whole spool of tape that doesnt have end and doesnt have beginning, and there is everything on this tape already, the tape exists and you can turn the mechanism, the tape head mechanism is your mind. Each rotation of a small cog you would call a day.
Now answer me what is there actually: tape together with this mechanism turning it, or day?
Not even relevant.
Time still exists based on the atoms in the tape virbating at a certain velocity that maintains the cohesion of the tape.
Time is the measurable distance that an atom takes when interacting with other atoms.
uh…
Well this illusion is percieved by everyone and it is linked to gravity, If you have a read about the International Space Station you will find that because they are furher away from earths gravity core they experience time faster.
Lets say there was a planet 1000 times heavier than earth and the people could somehow live thereand if we could look at them through a telescope, they would actually be moving in slow motion. So from our perspective it would take them 3 or 4 minutes to take a draw of a ciggerette. To them we would be moving quickly.
Time is an interesting subject and any intelligent life outside of earth would develop a method of measuring it using their solar bodies. Any intelligent life will have come to the same conclusion we have.
If there is intelligent life out there, then will their planet be the same size as earth? If it is larger then will it still spin at a rate that generates 24 hours in a day? What if there are 40 time zones on their planet? would an hour represent 1/40th of aa time zone? Would they have an amount of units that make up 1/40th of their time? All are interesting questions.

Actually, it is. You are bound to this mortal coil because of your foolish obsession with such pitiful concepts as ‘time’, but there is much which exists beyond your simplistic comprehension, all of it timeless.
They experience time slower because they have more speed.
The rule is always: more speed = slower clocks. It depends on speed of the object. Its like you could move the tape head with the tape going in one direction.
Now lets think about it more.
If you would speed that tape in the mechanism, everything would be getting faster and faster. You would still experience it frame by frame, but the amount of frames would double, and of course you wouldnt even notice it, as cogwheel you measure time with would move also with double the speed. If you measure smallest cogwheels rotation and call it a second, the tape is still there, and time is an illusion.
It all would still be there on the tape and it could be even all read out by the vast tape head that could be located along all the tape, instantly, as one frame.
The access to all of it, but not to edit it!
If editing would be possible, the whole mechanism would have to be disasembled and put together again, and you cant do that as a tape head. Editing would imply a higher level of existence or dimension, and mechanism together with creator could be simulation taking place on yet another tape. Multiple dimensions nested one inside the other… a fractal mandala!
If there is intelligent life out there, then will their planet be the same size as earth? - Aaron
Most likely a planet the same size as Earth, maybe slightly larger or smaller.
If time does not exist then why are you whatever age you are and why do you celebrate each year? Time indicates when an instance took place, we refer to these instances as “time” and we use solar bodies as a reference.
You seem sure that time does not exist, tell me then how exactly do you refer to any moment? You refer to time as a pitiful concept yet you use it to describe your age.
Time simply refers to what moments are in history, present and yet to come, humans have simply created a system to measure the moments that are in history or yet to happen.
The fact that solar bodies are used to determine the time means that the solar bodies have a high level of precision. So the earth spinning at 1000 miles per hour generates the 24 time zones we call “hours” We also find that as well as the earth spinning it is also moving at a speed around the Sun which generates 365 sets of 24 “hours”
Time, yes it is a human concept that everyone on the planet agrees with and uses. we only created a system to refer to the current instance we are in.
In your opinion time is a pitiful concept you use yourself to orginise your life, I’m not sure how you arrived at this conclusion and it seems illogical that you call a part of reality pitiful.
An illusion is something that is not there. Have a look at this statement.
- if a car hits a pedestrian at 20 miles per hour then the pedestrian chance of survival is higher than if the car was travelling at 30 miles per hour.
We can immediately note that there is a difference between 20 miles per hour and 30 miles per hour which is not an illusion. If the car is travelling faster then the car will hit the pedestrian with more force where the pedestrians chance of survival is lower.
The car traveling at 30 miles per hour means it will reach the destination faster than a car travelling at 20 miles per hour, again, not an illusion.
I’ve tried to be clear on my explanations, feel free to explain further what you mean when you say time is an illusion. The examples I have given are clear and they are an accurate description of what anyone viewing these examples in real life would see.
I use the word “hour” to describe the the rate of movement of the car,
No, time is faster because they are further away from the earth. Look it up, everyone has agreed with this point.
This whole statement is nonsense. you state “measure smallest cogwheels rotation” what exactly will you be measuring it against? revolutions per SECOND or revolutions per HOUR?
You will use seconds or hours to measure the rate at which it is spinning, by using minutes or hours you are refering to how much instances have passed. So you type that time is an illusion yet you use it describe the meaning of what you’re typing. If time is an illusion then please explain exactly how you will measure the rate at which the cog is spinning?
Have a look at what Neil DeGrasse Says about “time”
My first search hit on ‘time dilation space station’ says otherwise:
“Clocks on the International Space Station (ISS), for example, run marginally more slowly than reference clocks back on Earth. This explains why astronauts on the ISS age more slowly, being 0.007 seconds behind for every six months .”
Ah Sorry I had it backwards. I meant to say time goes slower the further away you are from a gravity source like a planet. thanks for the correction.
I think that is backwards as well.
It’s been a while, bit I recall time dilation can happen either as result of gravity (higher gravity = slower time) or as result of relative speed differences where the clock moving at speed relative to your frame of reference appears to tick slower.
So while the reduced gravity up high in the space station makes time tick a bit faster, their higher speed more than compensates for that effect, making the combined effects slow their time down a little.
Part of the goal is to make sure the clocks tick at the right time on ISS and on earth, but the effect gravity (and the mass that creates it) has on time and space must also be noticed.
It’s like how people talk about the round Earth, but it’s not actually round. ‘Time’ as you so call it, is just another such illusion.
Well okay, but there is obviously “something” in between this post and your last post. how do we refer to this “something” inbetween your last post and this post?
Those are other posts.
Yes, but time has obviously past between this post and your last post. If time was an illusion how is it that we would arrive at this conclusion?
Maybe we could class time as, The Progression of Reality? And by creating a system that observes cosmic bodies to measure it arent we just using a method to measure the logical progression of reality?
Everyone agrees that if you have more speed your experience of time is normal, but relative to those with lower speed your experience of time is slower. Going faster you save seconds, minutes, hours, even eternity.
Not nonsense, You measure it in relation to next cogwheel. There are cogwheels going different speeds, but one is fastest: photon.
With year its whole rotation of earth around sun. Day is rotation of earth around its own axis. You divide that by 24 and you have hour, divide that further and you will have minutes, seconds, etc. You se where this is going? You measure time using rotation of one thing against another.
That’s not true, you are merely imagining time.
Seems to me that you want to ignore time just because. Good luck with that brother, I hope you can resolve what ever it is you are thinking.
