Time does not exist but to measure

First time I publicly mentioned something about my idea regarding ‘Time’ was 14^th December 2011. on Twitter @MelihaAB

Recently, I learned about a nice blog http://lesism.blogspot.com/2012/03/time.html starting with the idea that time does not exist, except as a measurement; however, it developed into something quite different to what I had in mind. Hence, I thought I’d write a short blog about my perspective.

Relationship between time and space is one that consider a phenomenon. But, I do not wish to talk about that. Instead I’ll start with an idea:

“Time only exists as a form of measurement and not a separate entity; like centimetres. Other things exist in terms of centimetres, but centimetres themselves do not exist. Just like so, everything around us exists in terms of time, but time does not exist.”

This idea could alter how we view many aspects of our existence and it would greatly affect the idea of travelling through time. Can we travel through time? Well, we know travelling through material world is no novelty; in fact, we all accomplish it daily. However, just because we’ve moved from point A to point B, does not mean we’ve travelled through centimetres, it means we’ve travelled that space in terms of centimetres. Like wise, travelling through time, in a world where it is understood that time does not exist, would be impossible. We can alter the molecules which ever way, but this will not alter or even affect time and status of time. Hence:

“What once was, will never be again.”

We might be able to duplicate things, but we can not return to the original of what once was.

The world was created to be in constant change. We can affect the change in our material world, making it seem like time has moved faster or slower – for example: people have used written word on a paper as the only form of communication for centuries, then, within decades, so many forms of communication have been developed, it makes me wonder if we’ve stepped on some time train and skipped a few stops. But, this des not mean time has changed, only that we’ve moved faster.
