Is time an illusion?

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

I swear time seems to speed up and slow down at times man..

Technically we are always in the past.

By the time the synapses in your brain fire so you can take in what you see....time has already passed

 

[Drip Bayless]

But how does observing and measuring cycles of stars, make time real? Is my question....time in what sense?

Put it this way
Rulers have length no matter what unit that length is expressed in
Same way time exists and everything experiences it linearly regardless of how we measure it

 

[jadillac]

time is a man-made measurement.

Names are man-made definitions. A giraffe is called a giraffe by man, but what is it really in nature?

Actually not, that wouldn't mean you are in the past, at the very most it would mean you are perceiving the past

Another question, how can you prove for a fact what you said is indeed true, that by the time your senses process something it has already passed, explain how you would prove that to be true?

 

[Stone Cold]

The definition of illusion is

an instance of a wrong or misinterpreted perception of a sensory experience.or a false idea or belief

If I slap you in the face today and ask you to recount the events tomorrow IT IS NOT An ILLUSION

I'm not talking to you anymore, get off the acid

You see how the moment in which you typed this up has passed an is no longer occuring? That is the past, and what separates when you did that and you now reading this post is fukkING TIME

Why am I really going back and forth with retards???

No Buddy. That is what you call the past, and what you think is no longer occurring....but all that exist is the MOMENT.
NO before, NO after...thats human concepts

Movement in space is a change in position, it does not qualify as time. We may have invented a variable called time to make predictions of the locations and\or positioning of objects that move, or appear to be moving in "space". But that does not make time real

Far as I know...Might sound crazy

NO before, NO after...thats human concepts of false perception being applied due to our perceived movement in space.

And once again, I'm the one accused of talking human babble in this thread.

OK man, whatever you say.

nikka human babble is this fukking thread, is time an illusion these high ass nikkas

Time is clearly not an illusion we are clearly limited by time, next week is next week and is not today and what separates next week from today is fukking time.

you just described time as a man made measurement not an actual thing

 

[Drip Bayless]

time is a man-made measurement.

Names are man-made definitions. A giraffe is called a giraffe by man, but what is it really in nature?

You didnt follow your analogy all the way through
It would be like saying the giraffe doesn't exist unless we call specifically call it "giraffe", which is clearly ridiculous

Memories by definition are illusions

The Memory Illusion

Nothing is actual so that must mean everything is an illusion ...

OK man, whatever you say.

YOu are attempting to take human inventions and apply them to something that we dont really understand. Its an invented variable, that does not make it real buddy. Its just something we invented for making predictions, and observing cycles. A cycle does not always indicated time...its merely an indication of order.

 

[MischievousMonkey]

Time is an object, and you can interact with it. That's what science shows.

 

[JQ Legend]

I’m talking to you “presently” but 10 mins has passed between the responses. The “present” truly does not exist

U mean well but actually the present is the only moment that does exist

the past and future are what does not exist

 

[JOHN.KOOL]

you just described time as a man made measurement not an actual thing

Err nol, I used the words we use in measurement of time in my explanation because what fukking else am I meant to use

I clearly said what separates next and and today (the measurements) IS TIME (the actual thing)
