Is there such thing as an exact time? Or it is time just an invention of man?

Excellent question my friend. I was waiting for somebody to raise this issue here. Actually I have read something about time somewhere.\n\nFirst thing is that it is purely human imanigation and invention. Actually universe operates in layers. And every now and then we move from  a layer to next. We are there in every layer in different ages at the same time.\n\nNow read this: Have u ever experienced any incidence when u said that i have already experienced this somewhere, or seen somewhere. This is when you have seen yourself in another layer in a dream.\n\nActually this is quite complex to understand. We use only 10% of our brain and we are never able to realise that time is nothing. Infact we can control everything if we realise the power within. You could see yourself simultanoeously in differently places in different roles of your life. \n\nIf you are not getting this, its not a big deal. 99.9999% people dont get it in first 100 times. But i will suggest you to read "A breif history of time" by "stephen hawking" to know more about this issue.

Hi. The first three are physical, the fourth is temporal, the rest are mathematical. We think of the fourth as time, but it really is not. Time, when you get down to it, is an infinite series of 'moments', not to be confused with seconds, years, picoseconds, etc. Humans tend to measure the passing of time in rather coarse terms. If you could see time then objects would be stretched out. A human, for instance, would look like a very long worm tapering from very small (an egg) to adult size to bones, which would last the longest.

Time does not really exist.  It has a temporal existence that is passing and fading and decaying.  Put simply, there will be a last day, just as there was a first and as such time will have no claim to true existence.  Time will be swallowed by timelessness, as it was before time.  \n\nTime can only exist as timelessness moves aside, and creates a void of timelessness in which time may exist temporally.  Timelessness is the absolute from which time is derived, and upon which time is contingient.\n\nHowever, if you belive that you exist.  then you can say "i am."  You have temporal existence.  But only as the ABSOLUTE "I AM" moved aside for a while so that you could exist within the void of Himself.  You can only say that you are because the Great "I AM" made a place for you by getting out of the way.  \n\nThe Lord is the Absolute "I AM" from which you derived and upon which your ability to say "i am" is contingient.  You would not exist had not God existed before you and moved himself through compression to create a void in which you may temporarily exist.   The only reason you can say "i am" is that God says "I AM."\n\nFurthermore, your temporal existence is the PROOF that absolute existence is the true reality.  Want to disprove God's existence?  Then you must make yourself (and everyone else) non-existant, because each breath you take .. and each moment that someone can say "i am" is the proof of an absolute reality that says "I AM."\n\nGod is beyond the cosmos, and has moved aside to create a void of Himself in which you now exist - the cosmos ... a temporal void.

Time is like light it curves, and we are part of a time line that can not be changed if it was to do so we would be living in a parallel universe so yes time dose exist.  Oh by the way here is a little test to prove that time dose exist it just dose not matter.  The next time you see some one look at there watch count to 30 and ask them what time it is, the person will then look at there watch again and give you the time.  The point is only 30 sec has gone by yet they had no idea what time it was this is because people do not care what time it is , they care about what time it is not.  they know that there meeting is at 3pm it's only 1pm  there fore they can care less what time it is.  So with that said time exist, but really dose not matter.

Oh good grief.  Physics 101.  Time is a function of the physical universe.  One of the four dimensions we easily observe.  It has no existance outside the boundaries of creation.  God did not exist "before" creation.  He exists beyond it.  The Creator is not bounded by his creation.  There was no "before" creation, as time itself is a function of that creation.  Nor will there be an "after" for the same reason.  The fact that we cannot comprehend an existance outside of time doesn't limit God.  It limits us.

Well, time really doesn't exist. It's a human invention. We define time as what it is because our minds can't fully comprehend the fact that the universe is one big giant now. So nothing begins, or goes away, because everything happens at the same time. We choose to say it happens at different times, but it really happens in different places, on different planes of existence.

Time is relative.  It doesn't really exist.  Time is effected by the speed of motion, and is not an object.

Theoretically possible. See: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/time/through.html

the concept of time cannot be just related to this parallel. the creation as a result of a big bang is just a theory, it has not been proven. not having time before the big bang is beyond understanding. however the infinity can be proven (for example the number pi) that in my opinion shows that the creation was pre-planned in someway by a supreme being (a freemason would say).

time is something that humans have created so, no

What is time? We tend to measure everything by our learned standards.  Can you even try to imagine the Big Bang?  We as a race (human) know so little.

You mean as in the time? I always thought it was 1:11...but i could be wrong. Anyway, I heard somewhere that at that time (whichever one it is), it's like a door opens and spirits are able to enter our reality.

mankind didn't "invent" the system of time, but just rather makes use of it. time is something that we "notice" as the laws of thermodynamics occur in the universe. everything is cooling down and so time progresses... sort of. thats another subject (time doesnt really exist)...\n"standard time" on the other hand is something that we began to use to - believe it or not - to keep up with train schedules. it is merely standardized for many regions to use and not confuse anyone. first thought of by Dr. William Wollaston (1766-1828) is was adopted by the The Great Western Railway in November 1840 - GMT London time was born! standard time was instituted in the US by the railroads on Nov. 18, 1883 (about the same time as the electric safety elevator)\nthe idea of daylight savings time - used to make better use of the daylight - was conceived by Benjamin Franklin while he was in Paris in 1784. \nUTC is Coordinated Universal Time and helps keep everyone on schedule.\nas for waaaaay back in history, we just kept noticing people getting older and dying and stories getting handed down the line. many different calendars were made by the watching stars farther back than most "written" records go, but the modern calendar is gregorian and centers around the birth of Christ - but is about 4 to 6 years off (on the late end).

Time is a property of this universe only - this is not only a belief of Christian cosmology, it is also the standard belief of modern scientific cosmology, the way Stephen Hawking modeled it in "A Brief History of Time." Time is quite specific to our universe. Time has no meaning or applicability outside of the universe.\n\nSince God, from "outside" or "above" our universe, is a non-temporal being  - totally outside time and all its concepts - temporal concepts such as "beginning", "created" or "origins" are utterly inapplicable. They quite literally have no meaning where God is concerned. God's today is also his yesterday, which is also his tomorrow. He does not originate because origination only means something in the context of time. It may be difficult for beings such as ourselves to understand existing outside of time, because we are stuck in it. But the limits of our imagination are a problem for our comprehension, and not a problem for God's existence.\n\nAs St. Augustine said:\n\n'Nor do you precede any given period of time by another period of time, or you would not precede all periods of time. In the eminence of your ever-present eternity, you precede  all times past, and extend beyond all future times, for they are still to come--and when they have come, they will be past. But "you are always the same and your years shall have no end." Your years neither go nor come; but ours both go and come in order that all separate moments may come to pass. All your years stand together as one, since they are abiding. Nor do your years past exclude the years to come because your years do not pass away. All these years of ours shall be with you, when all of them have ceased to be. Your years are but a day, and your day is not recurrent, but always today. Your "today" does not yield to tomorrow and does not follow yesterday. Your "today" is eternity. '

Ya Time is just a measure of change... If there is change then you can say that there is time... No-time isn't a "theory" it's an idea, a thought game.

Yes I did. I built a "time machine" ___ years to perfect it. It took me ___ years. Of course there is no time, so you may have noticed that there are times which are not listed above. This proves time does not exist. I rest my case. And I would like to thank the academy for not revoking my birth certificate.\n\nMy first discovery was that there is no such thing as time.\nThat helped alot, because now, all the time it would take to invent a time machine didn't exist, so I would be able to have invented one already.\n\nI instantly realized that if you travel at the speed of light, time stops. Go faster than the speed of light, and you start going back in time. Therefore, go slower than the speed of time and you go forward in time. Make sense so far?\n\nSince time doesn't exist anyway, why figure out how to go faster than the speed of light. You are already there. And if you had an accident, while traveling that fast, surely your insurance wouldn't cover it and your speeding ticket would be astronomical, and I wouldn't be rich enough to pay it (wait a minute - if time is money, and there is no time, there is no money, so I can afford to speed again. See how great life is? (but if your lifetime is made of time, and there is no time, you are dead right now. That seems inconvenient. But I feel great if I'm dead right now. Maybe I've been worrying for nothing.\n\nI then remembered (my first step in going back in time) that the infinite Universe in which we live goes "out" forever. Since I, as a human being, go infinitely IN forever (no matter how small the piece of my, you could always cut it in half) and the inner-most in of infinity is already inside my body, and since there is no number bigger than infinity, everything is inside me already...all of infinity. I slowed down and realized that I don't need speed, time, life, money or insurance, to travel in time. Why, the electrons in every one of my atoms are already traveling at the speed of light and particles in them are going even faster. That should help too. \n\nViola! If there is no time, therefore I am already infinity years old, I don't have (but I could) go anywhere in time, because I have already been there, and there is here, and here is now, so there you go.\n\nI don't have to sell any of you my time machine. Each of you already has one. I wouldn't call it a time machine though, because there is no such thing as time (which is easy to prove by just picking up a phone in one country and talking to someone in another a few "time" zones forward or back, you are "time travelling" talking to someone in today or tomorrow (your choice) so you can make yourself time travel at will.\n\n"But I can't SEE the person I'm talking to on the phone" you might say.\n\nFine. Go out tonight and look at the stars. By the "time" it took light to travel to your eye from the star, thousands of "years" passed, so you are actually seeing them as they looked thousands of years ago...and, you are seeing those stars with eyes that "weren't even alive thousands of years ago. So you can see without eyes too.\n\nBut I guess the short answer would be "yes".
