Hi Jim, it is not complicated, learn more about the quaternions and the general relativity and the evolution, you shall see clearer about this time, a paramter than we have invencted correlated with the motions and the duration, so yes it exists this time in a sense . Regards

that depends how you consider it, if you want to complexify it with the general relativity or contradictions of its irreversibility, so the people searches problems where they don t exist, there is nothing for me of odd with this time, it is a property emergent due to the motions of particles and creations of this universe, if persons want to search odd things, it is their choice, if they want to interpret it with their own philosophy , it is their choice, for me there is nothing of odd with this time correlated with the motions and the evolution like a duration and its irreversibility.

Hi Jim, so I cannot help if you don t understand that we have motions for the particles and the reality and that we have a duration and that the seonds or others are tools to see the evolution or interactions of these motions, yesterday was yesterday, and tomorrow will be tommorrow, the time is a thing invented by the humans permitting to measure these motions and alos to observe the universe and rank, there is nothing of odd.If you want to convice us that this time does not exist , so prove us and develop the correlated philosophy, because there it is us who does not really underatand what you want to tell us .

you affirm a thing, so you must tell why, In telling that this time does not exist, it is the same to tell that the seconds or minutes or years and the fact that we born and die don t exist too. Are you conscious of this ? that without time, you cannot be born and you don t die ? if you want to explain the important parameters due to wwhat you affirm, tell us please because frankly I dont really understand what you want to tell with this,

Hi Steve,

I am saying that time does not exist as a thing, presence, or force. I am saying that the Earth`s rotational motion is the fundamental physical mechanism causing our confusion about the nature of time.

We use the Earth`s rotational motion as the measurement baseline for our time measurement system. We use the physical rotation to divide up the elapsing duration.

Our conscious minds experience duration elapsing as time passing. We use the conceptual frameworks of past and future as conscious reference points.

We don`t have time. We have motion.

Hi Jim, yes I have understood what you mean. But if I can, can you accept that the seconds or minutes or days or years are parameters permitting to understand these motions and implying a duration and permit too to understand the interactions of particles?

If our planet did not rotate, we would have a sunny side and a dark side of the Earth.

On the dark side, we would know what we looked like, but not have much idea what lay beyond the lamp`s light. We would not know what the Sun looked like until we travelled to the bright side of Earth.

On the bright side, we would not know what a beautiful star filled sky looked like. We would not know what the Moon looked like.

We would need to carry our phones to be able to check what time it was?

There would not be much credence given to the idea that time existed as a real thing, presence, or force.
