If you heard god talking to you now, you'd be crazy. If you heard god talking to you 2000 years ago, you'd be a prophet.

Nah.  Mormonism.

Steal the big plastic Ronald McDonald.  Put him somewhere he can truly be appreciated, like tied to the train tracks.  It's been done, but it should bee done more often.

Psh nothing moves.  We just don't know where anything is.

Hmmm, I feel like I'm arguing with myself.  Does that mean I exist? 

The premise of the article is flawed:  He is asking for the physical entity of time to be shown in space, which is nonsense.  Of course time does not exist in space, it's a different dimension.  But Time is present in the movement of physical objects, which makes Time by definition "in existence."

I'm actually ontologistic. The whole premise was that time (other than ontologically), does not exist.

Are you now saying Time does exist "ontologically"?  I must have missed the distinction "other than" in the original post.  Care to point it out?  It sounds like you are again throwing out your strict adherence to accuracy in favor of making assumptions. 

The original premise was that time does not exist in a physical sense.

But in all of this where is Time as a physical entity. [sic]
Which is similar to asking where light is when it's dark.  Or, "Why can't Time suck my wang?"  The question does not fit the case.  The premise is flawed. 


All measurements are conceptualized.  All measurements only exist in relation to other measurements.  Time exists in relation to space.  You have to also conclude that space does not exist if you conclude that time does not exist. 

Perhaps I am looking too hard into the extant of time, but the same seems to be true of those denying its existence.  By the logic used to say time does not exist one can also conclude that everything does not exist.  It is a self-defeating argument.

You lied. Fail.

Where did I lie?

This time, get a ruler, or another completely flat and straight object and then line it up with the the horizon line on the last URL I posted. You will see that the far right side curves off your ruler or straight object.

Sorry, but this is good evidence that the earth is indeed round.

That would happen on a Flat earth, too.

Plus, it's not a debate since you seem to be genuinely asking a question of a view that quite a few people on this forum hold.

That sounds like a debate.

A system of measurement can be developed for any definition if one so chooses. The sequential and succession of events was termed time, to which measurements were conceptualized and set in place. I think you may be look too hard into the "it does not exist" part.

Taking a philosophical view on everything and calling it accurate is bullshit.

Right, and there is no empirical aspects whatsoever. ::)
Verisimilitude.  That should be your name.  You are a worthless debater.  I'm completely done even considering that anything you have to say is true. 

Would anyone else like to say anything about how something that does not exist can be measured?

Nor anything by that measure, which means saying it doesn't exist is meaningless and silly.
And accurate.

Well shit, I'm glad this guy chimed in.  I don't know where we'd be without such a great moderator.  it's not accurate, it is wrong. 

Movement exists, thus time exists.  How can something that does not exist be measured?

Just as arguing FOR the existence of it. Thus, this thread has no purpose and we can all go fuck someone and have a nice day.

Oh come on.  You can't point fingers back since it was times existence that was denied in the first place. 

As for the latter, and in the words of Merl Haggard: let's get drunk and screw.

Because of a giant thread where no one was getting it. 

I hope you're not talking about the "Acceleration Problem" thread.  Because you are so wrong.

Suggesting that the mind works "this" way after years of influence doesn't really work. There is no way to know how the mind works on genetics alone. Thus, I made my first statement.

This is all just speculation.  Please give something that can back up your argument. 

After a few minutes of drudging through the CDC website I found something interesting:

I agree that Time exists only as a concept because we humans created it. However, there has to be something out there that forbids events from happening all at once.

Something that forbids events from happening all at once... I think Kasroa is right in saying space-time is that something. 

So somehow is no events took place, would time still exist to contain these non-events? or would a non-event, in effect, be an event?

If no events took place there would be no way to measure time, which is about all we can do to get our grimy fingers around it.  So I suppose in that case there would be no time and also no events, no objects, no anything. 

This "time" thing seems to me to be just like another space dimension, except that we can only experience one point of its length: right now.  For some reason we are just slowly rolling through this 4th dimension at a constant rate.  We lack completely the ability to push ourselves around in this "time" dimension.  we can only look on as we, in our three visible dimensions, pass through the fourth just like the 3-D sphere passes through this 2-D plane: 


We know time because it exists.  Or it exists because we know time.  All things being relative, there is no difference between the two statements.  Reality is beyond words.  One must not confuse the world of things -- as we think about, talk about, and name -- with the world as it actually is.  The sound of rain needs no translation.  Time exists without us; it is we that are impermanent.
