from Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre


After writing a sentence of his book:

I had thought out this sentence, at first it had been a small part of myself. Now it was inscribed on the paper, it took sides against me. I didn't recognize it anymore. I couldn't conceive it again. It was there, in front of me; in vain for me to trace some sign of its origin. Anyone could have written it. But I ... I wasn't sure I wrote it. The letters glistened no longer, they were dry. That had disappeared too; nothing was left but their ephemeral spark.

I looked anxiously around me: the present, nothing but the present. Furniture light and solid, rooted in its present, a table, a bed, a closet with a mirror-and me. the true nature of the present revealed itself: it was what exists, and all that was not present did not exist. The past did not exist. Not at all. Not in things, not even in my thoughts. It is true that I had realized a long time ago that mine had escaped me. But until then I had believed that it had simply gone out of my range. For me the past was only a pensioning off: it was another way of existing, a state of vacation and inaction; each event, when it had played its part, put itself politely into a box and became an honorary event: we have so much difficulty imagining nothingness. Now I knew: things are entirely what they appear to be-and behind them... there is nothing.

Because of the possibility of something not having a beginning how does that make time nonexistent?
Time is defined as:

the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.

A progress of existence has always occurred, there has been a past, there will be a present and there will continue to be a future.

When this thread stated time doesn't exist it definitely was meant in the way we perceive it.

In that definition it points to the fact there is no separation between the three

It does separate them.

You missed the core definition based on your bolding choice. It's all about the continued progress and sequence of events from those three, the past, present and future.

Indefinite : lasting for an unknown or unstated length of time

I didn't miss anything. I understand your point of view and see fault. "Continued progress," "sequences" all require something definite, which time is not.

Wait let me get this straight, from that definition of time you believe that it's saying there is no distinction between the past, present and future?

Of course I'm not saying that, it's a definition, it's us trying to make sense of something much more benevolent than ourselves. Such is science, us making sense of what just is..
