Is "time" real?

There is no such thing as "time". It is a man made perspective and a tool for keeping our society organized. What do you think?

It cages us.

Yep you got it. I'v been studding this and sounding concepts in depth, and it seems that the only thing keeping us on this scale of measurement is our minds. In theory, if we were able to reach an understanding like past Yogis have, we would be able to move threw time freely! "The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot is a MUST read for this and related topics of the mind.

Time is an illusion. Time flies. Time drags on. Time is an individual's experience. Actual "time" helps everyone as a society (for doctor's appt. and to be at work) ...but in reality it is experienced different to each person and their experience. I like how the movie Benjamen Button explains it. In the movie it even goes backwards.

Saying there's no such thing as time is taking the point a little too far. Granted, what we use is a man made tool, and the tool we're using on a day to day basis is specific to this planet, and further, is used as a reference to demonstrate fluidity with respect to high speed duration shifts. Maybe thinking of it as repeatable cycles of duration makes the concept easier to grasp.

Time was invented so I don't have to finish everything today.

reply

Time, I think, is relative yet regulated. Some scientists say that we have a built in sense of movement with which we determine the passage of time.

Thanks for this question. I need to remember to watch Little Ashes on my queue tonight.

Also, time is time.
