    By your logic the universe wouldn't exist either if man were not around witness it...
    I'm not saying you're wrong here, but since both the universe and time "exists" to us, time does therefore exist.

    Or does it? I used to agree that time didn't exist and that it was an illusion created by moving objects but what about the human internal clock? The time pattern your heart beats to and the time pattern your fall asleep to etc.

    I think "poon" might also work.

    time cannot be constant because everybody percieves it differently.having fun time flies etc.


    "By your logic the universe wouldn't exist either if man were not around witness it..."
    the universe is a thing,matter,it has substance.time is an idea

    Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

    Time can be seen though, can't it? I'm looking at my watch now and it's 2.10am.

    Yeah Tiffany but I think the idea is that this was defined by man... who's to say what number to put on day or night etc? It's all manmade...
