    Far to many peasants with no education want time to be 'another dimension'

    When they cant even navigate the 3 we have. XY and Z in 3d reality.
    Length depth and width

    .. but time is not of distance but dynamism. It is what happens. phenomena
    XYZ dimemsions have no inherent phenomena..
    Phenomena happen TO them

    Im sick and tired of trying to help those too lazy to think. Reality is there for the thinking..

    notsure

    I've heard these existential arguments against time before. Physics equations don't care which direction time is going yes, but anything that makes a decision does. It's true that V = a*t^2 + Vi (velocity equals acceleration times time elapsed squared plus initial velocity) can be regressed. But that's like saying stacking doesn't exist because you can calculate the force at the bottom of a pillar from it's height, density and cross sectional area, but you can also calculate the height from the force at the bottom, density and cross sectional area. The fact is one still has to come before the other. Time exists because while I can look at how fast a ball is flying and given that the forces have been constant, say what it's velocity was 1 second ago. I can't decide to throw that ball in such a way as to change that past velocity but I can throw it in a way to change it's future velocity.

    Relax:
    But it does! : D How else could we possibly have our moment, and our differences! The universe, for all the horror of its immeasurable 'singularity' is not...immovable. ; D Infinity---I keep being told it is a mathematical fiction! : D

    But it does! Precisely 24 hrs or 5 mins ago... NOW. lol.

    As you say, time is essentially an observation.

    Sounds like your trying to define time as combined potential. Without time there is no potential, but that's not what time is.

    then .. what is it?

    think on this.. without movement. happening. stasis
    stasis means.. no time passes

    ergo

    movement = things happening..

    Things happen because laws are processed

    Time is that processing. the dynamic enactment of the laws of reality.
    Not a dimension but a fundamental part of 3d space
    those laws are our reality and the processing.. is time

    No, they don't.

    They measure something known and rename it as part of there scam.

    You're a solipsist. Your arguments are useless.

    Infinity does not exist in any direction.

    that would seem to indicate that Time/Space is Quantum in nature. If so, there's no "0"-- but there's a "1".

    And if you think it through, you'll realize there is no "0", either.

    Don't confuse you inability to understand a concept like "decay" with impossibility.

    I understand concepts fine. Your post, not so much.

    I would disagree on one point.. infinity exists in duration.
    Reality.. has no beginning. No end. It will 'process, forever'.
    That we can't fit our minds around that shows simply that we a very small creatures in a very large reality.

    or,
    Are you a god?

    And just to stump a stupid reply.. i sent this to several physicists and a theoretic mathematician and a psychologist.. they UNDERSTOOD.
    So if you dont understand it's on your ignorance of reality.
    You say reality will end.. And i dont mean big bang. i mean that which allows big bang. The bang cant happen without a reality for it to happen in.. NO?
    [or or can you the only human to do so encompass no reality in your head. You are a god.. for that is not possible to humans]
    When? Will that reality end

    does an ant think of mathematics
