Time does exist otherwise this gif would not play

Basically, time does exist, but only because we want it to. If we decide to stop doing stuff based on time, then there wouldn't be any.
Time is as real as god, in other words: If you believe it exists, then it does to some degree.

What :what:
Think about this:
If you go back in time, and can't get back, you meet you're self and dies, you know that someday you are going to the past then if you somewhat decide not to, would memories from the past be gone or is time like a line, things do happens to the end, even if you try to avoid it.

There's another possiblity that time isn't a moving object, it's not something that goes forward, it's something that just IS. Kinda like this dot--> . <-- it doesn't move forward, but it still is there. Time is a nice indicator for knowing stuff though, so I wouldn't regard it as non-existant, but I could call it something we don't fully understand

I do know what I'm talking about, stop disregarding the theories I actually put some work into
Time exists, but our perception of how "fast" time is is only in our heads.

Exactly. The way we count a second could easily be changed without any major effect on the rest of the world

Perception, in general, is in our heads.
That's a big N-O right there, sir.
Time is an illusion.

Where are people getting this crap from
[QUOTE=billeh!;22596664]if someone were to observe someone travelling at a higher speed or in an area where space-time is more compressed than the space-time where observer 1 is at, then time would appear to go slower for the traveler or observer 2.
meaning the faster you go the slower you age and when you're in deep space you age slower than when you're on earth.[/QUOTE]
However, that only applies to Earth(hence the relativity bit). Time is really only relative to a fixed point.

There ISN'T any 'fixed point' in the universe, though. There is no absolute frame of reference. Any frame of reference is as good as any other.

Because they are open-minded individuals who actually accepts that other theories might be plausible instead of calling it wrong just because it's different. If you try to be really philosophical about time you'll quickly find out that other than the usual theory of time being a line you'll see that the most reasonable theory is time being artificial. No humans = No time (At least no indicator of time except for the sun, but that thing changes on different planets, and I don't think animals would care about time) gah

What are you babbling about
[QUOTE=Craptasket;22600624]What are you babbling about[/QUOTE]
Thanks for proving my point.
[QUOTE=Mokkan13;22599140][/QUOTE]
wrong, m-theory imposes an infinite number of dimensions, thus your own dimension that you just exited would stay the same, and if you killed your younger self, only your younger self would die. not you.

no, look up special relativity
My theory is that time is yet another dimension like the 3 spatial ones, and that we're travelling constantly in the "forward" direction of that.
I don't really think it's possible to travel in time from within these dimensions.

that's correct according to string-theory and subsequently m-theory. think of it this way, in a coordinate plane with the vectors x, y, and z, there is also a t vector, which is time. for example, if you wanted to meet someone in a cafe near the edge of the galaxy, then you would need to give a location, x y z, and a time, t, or else the meeting would be futile.

time is relative to an observer. it doesn't only apply to earth, just to wherever you happen to be when you observe someone or something else.
[QUOTE=Pedro the Fuzzy;22596429]
We can't go back in time, there is no such thing as time travel.[/QUOTE]
Besides Einstein's theory, even though that's more lighttravel than timetravel.
Time travel is impossible, I should know, I'm a scientist.

no, time would still exist even if there were not any sentient beings in the universe. this can be proven by phenomena such as time dilation.

Only forward in time, at normal speed.
Also, that one time... but that was a slow teleport...

I'm open-minded to theories that are well-presented and make sense. I am not open-minded to bullshit or any other faeces, because that'd clog my brain pretty quickly.
[QUOTE=billeh!;22596536]Technically if you travel faster than light speed then you can travel backwards in time.[/QUOTE]
Nope, forewards
How do we age if time doesn't exist?
