...slowed down a lot...
It seems that it's been a while since i last worked so hard. 'cause after ochem i feel soooo limpid... time going by so slow... so lazy x]
A friend once challenged me: time does not exist - it's a man-made abstract concept used to control themselves; the passage of time is imaginary.
WHAT??? I was -almost- averted at such thought. Then... what does my hours of hours spent in the library mean? what does my brown reddish hair getting longer and longer mean?? what would the increasing wrinkled lines on my parents' weathered faces mean??
He said that's just biological decay - and i added after him - which implies time passage, and thus TIME right?? He said that my logic is faulty (where???? >:[ ) that one does not correlate with the other. Einstein has already come up with the idea that time is relative. And the most obvious evidence that points at the nonexistence of time is that time is relative: that the few minutes you are up in a podium giving a speech goes too tortuously slow, and that the long hours you spend with the people you love goes too hastily fast...
And thus the saying: happy times are fleeing.
Aish i was not convinced. And neither was him. hahah
what do you think? does time exists? :]
i think i just don't want to work on my essay right now... =w=

Yes time is definitely something very slippery. Yet if it wasn't real, then why is it considered the "fourth dimension". And yes, man definitely would like to measure time and get a ruler around it, but "Time waits for no one." And if time is so precious and valuable then how can it not exist?
time is abstract in a sense that we cannot prove scientifically that it exists but is is perceived! we all feel passage of time although the ways to measure it are artificial... time may be relative but it definitely exists! its like trying to prove God through scientific methods!(SET!!) maybe this is not the best analogy but something like that....
ohhh, interesting post!
i'd say time is a concept that was invented by man to describe the passage of time.
do you see the conflict in being able to prove whether time exists. i mean you can't say that time doesnt exist because it's basically a concept (whether it's scientific or philosophical is irrelevant) that was conceived to describe ... what we describe as time.
and yes, time is the fourth dimension. even things like gravity work on a time-space continuum so you can't say time doesn't exist anymore.
let's just leave the philosophers who have nothing better to do to figure that out and worry about more important stuff! HAHA like... GOD. HAHAHA major change of subject but yeah that's how i feel about that subject. i just don't it's relevant.
