The same way we can imagine talking, invisible, blue unicorns.

"Invisible" things can be seen, yet we get over object permanence as children.
Unicorns aren't real, yet horses are.
"Blue" doesn't exist in nature, yet its foundational colors exist in nature.
Animals can't talk, yet we can.

Since all of these things are based in real or experienced concepts, our imagination can go wild with them.

it's not tainted
i'm seeing this new chic, but it's not working out because she always wanna go dancing.
Almost every damn day she like let's go do something, or let's go dancing
i cant keep up, she much younger than me but even at her age I wouldn't have wanted to go out that much.
I don't know what to do, i'm tired of her i don't enjoy meeting up with her anymore but she got a banging body so i can't just leave.
and her father grows his own weed, so I get it from her now, father is super organic and healthy weed type

Don't even worry about that breh, time doesnt exit so days don't either

Can you explain aging?

Aging is just the biological accumulation of change, it's not at all proof that time is real at all.
You have a body, it goes through changes, your cells get damaged, DNA changes or mutates, and bones and metabolism goes through wear and tear.
All these things are processes not clocks.

If nothing in your body changes then you wouldn't age whether time existed or not.

Think of a flip book you might have created when you were a kid, the book has no motion but you flipping the pages creates the illusion of motion.

So aging is like flipping through changes in your body but we as humans interpret it as time.

Astronauts age slower in space because of relativity not because time changes speed, but because their biological processes run slower.

There are two things

The world consists of a passage of events. That’s seen as time. It isnt man made. It happens whether humans exist of not.

The other is how man measures the passage of these events, which is also seen as time. This is a man made concept for us to better organise the passage of these events in our mind and history.

Calling the passage of events and calling it time is wrong.
These are processes not proof of time.
Calling the passage of events proof of time is like calling gravity falling, or calling motion speed, or calling distance meters.
Meters don't exist, distance does.
Seconds don't exist, change does.

And yes, it's all a man made concept like you said. Time, seconds, minutes, clocks, all these things are tools humans use to track change, not time.

You're doing a better job of explaining time than you think. Change is time. Motion is time. Growth is time. Nothing on this planet stays still. If something grows and/or changes in any way its due to the forward motion of time.

man you retarded or something

its a unit of measurement. thats like debating with knickstapecity and being like there are no inches its all just meat maaan we just made that up. are you high or something

einsteins theory of relativity requires time to function, its how they explain gravity. this is like rudimentary 21st century science man

they need to take away your posting privileges for a while. maybe make you to learn how to read in the bushes, or bleach the floor in JBO... something besides this man damn

Calm down, no need to throw insults.
First of all being retarded is not proof of time but just proof of processes.
Yes I am high, but so what? Being high unlocks creativity that allows you to understand the illuion of time.

So you are right that it's just a unit of measurement, which is proof that time does not exist.

You do not undesrstand Einstein or his theory of relativity.
Relativity doesn’t prove time exists but rather it proves clocks can behave differently, Einstein said clocks tick differently depending on motion and gravity..

Listen, Einstein’s theory uses time as a COORDINATE, not as a real physical thing.
It’s like using grid lines on a map or something, humons need the grid lines to describe where things are, but the lines don’t exist on the Earth itself now does it?

Relativity shows that clocks speed up or slow down, not that “time” is a substance that flows.
So the math needs a time label to describe change, but that doesn’t mean time exists any more than longitude exists physically.

Next time you post so angrily realize that you are not the smart one

i stopped right there just so you know

i was just picking on you but now youre starting to offend me :usure:

the worst part about these high philosophers is that they'll sit there and pontificate while the damn blunt goes out. relighting tastes terrible man quit fukking up the rotation!

Wait, if time doesnt exist??

Why am I being written up for late coming daily??

Because your teacher lives in the made up world of time, not in the real universe. you weren't late in a cosmic sense.
Next time your teacher writes you up explain to him that you just entered the classroom at a different point in the sequence of events than your teacher wanted.

If you explain this to him i'm sure he won't write you up again.

Is this like interstellar where gravity affects time? And black holes affect time? I still don’t understand why but I accept that is a thing.

Time feels like the biggest magician in the room because it moves in one direction and never lets you catch it, but when you look deeper, it’s not as solid as it seems. In physics, especially when you study relativity, time starts behaving like a flexible concept instead of a strict ruler. It stretches, slows down, and bends depending on speed and gravity. Two people can experience it differently even if they’re standing in the same universe. That alone shows that time is not the absolute force we imagine :ufdup:





On a human level, time becomes even more illusory. Your memories are fragments, your future is a projection, and your present moment is already slipping away as soon as you notice it. What we call “time” is often just the mind organizing experience so life feels linear instead of chaotic. Without consciousness, time has no emotional weight, no meaning, no story. That’s why people say time flies when you’re happy and drags when you’re miserable. It’s not just perception. It’s your mind stretching the moment like warm dough :shaq:





So yes, in many ways, time is as real as gravity yet as illusionary as a dream. It exists, but it doesn’t exist in the way you think. What you truly experience is attention, change, and memory. Time is just the container you pour those things into :wow:

You can't exist in three dimensional space without time. They are basically the same thing as far as your ability to experience causality and movement are concerned.The fact that you were able to write this nonsense down and press post reply is all the proof you need that time exists...were dealing with the aftermath of a dumb proposition made on a forum in real time :yeshrug:

You don’t need “time” to exist as a thing in order for events to happen.
All you need is change and sequence.
Saying you can’t exist without time is like saying you can’t walk without “inches”but inches aren’t real, they’re just how we measure distance.

So “time” is just how we label the order of events we experience.

The fact that I typed a message and you’re reading it now doesn’t prove time exists it only proves one event happened before another. That’s sequence, not time my dude.

The universe doesn’t care about seconds or hours nawm it just moves from state A to state B.
