    The earliest time measurements were observations of cycles of the natural world, using patterns of changes from day to night and season to season to build calendars. More precise time-keeping eventually came along to put time in more convenient boxes. But what exactly are we measuring? Andrew Zimmerman Jones contemplates whether time is something that physically exists or is just in our heads.

    I feel like time is just the word we give to the phenomena of watching things in a 3D space move and breaking down those movements into digestible intervals. Similar to his example with the movie, what we call time can be broken down into individual “snapshots” of our universe. Without atoms moving, time doesn’t exist. Imagine the world was frozen, every atom stuck in its place, how would time even possibly be measured in such an instance?

      @mrivai 2 роки тому +44

      I have the same understanding. If nothing change (or move in some way) then there is nothing to measure, there is no time. But then, in such a state, we can't have a consciousness can we?
      Now imagine if everything stopped moving... every matters, every atoms, EXCEPT your mind as an observer. Will time still exist for you? I think it's probably yes, since you can still feel the changes in your thought and consciousness, your mind will construct the concept of time again.
      So time is not only related to movements, but also our conscious mind. Time is a concept to measure our own mind.

      .

      Imagine we are sitting in a simulator. Whatever we have seen in it _till now_ , we recognise it as _Past_ . And future is to be seen...
      .
      .
      My simulator theory generates some points, like :-
      *1.* Maybe our lifespan is infinite. When we die in one simulator, we go to another simulator and start a new virtual life.
      *2.* Maybe we don't have any physical body, we would be just experiencing it through the simulator.
      *3.* Outside the simulator, there may be a different universe with different laws.
      .

From your point of view time would have instantly pass if no observer or life is there but it took time and different processes went through thats why we are here. When you weren't born, all that 13 billion years passed and yes we dont have the feeling of it, its instantaneous for non living but thats because we have no form and same will happen when we die. But that dosent mean entropy dosent exist we see in nature. The time we feel and measure is different from universe time. Speed of light can be seen as time which is constant its not instantaneous. Its the speed of casuality. For you or me time seizes to exist only when we die but not the universal time. And without the beginning of casuality or time in that sense universe cant exist. I couldn't put it better but hope you get it.

      Dien Vu Cong it is real when i move from point a to point b its not instant it takes TIME no matter how fast i am..this is what it literally is movement in space..even when i stand completely still in space i will still age the earth is still moving trough space and the universe keeps expanding this thing is what we call time it will always go forward no matter what..in fact its so connected with space a not so important jewish swiss physicists realized its one and the same (spacetime) and made one of serval most important equations of human history...what you call "happening" can only happen with the existence of time..and yea the measurements of it is all made up by us but so is kg,meters,volts etc. also but it works obviously..its how we humans use our language and interpretation to communicate and unterstand how thing’s around us works

    time is an abstract concept that humans made to understand our world. however, i hope someday we will understand it better. (i really hope we start measuring time in better chunks than we do now lol i hate multiplying by 60, 24, etc)

    4:10 This is like that one scene in Doctor Who, where the 12th Doctor lecturing the university's students. The quote is not like a major spoiler in Doctor Who. It just a quote...
    "Time! Time doesn't pass. The passage of time is an illusion, and life is the magician. Because life only lets you see one day at a time. You remember being alive yesterday, you hope you're going to be alive tomorrow, so it feels like you're travelling from one to the other. But nobody's moving anywhere. Movies don't really move. They're just pictures, lots and lots of pictures. All of them still, none of them moving. Just frozen moments. But if you experience those pictures one after the other, then everything comes alive."

      Gotta be careful what you listen to. I've seen entire video game companies go under, because they listened to the fans.
