Do you think if we threw away our clocks and our watches...that time would stand still?

Time in the sense that you are speaking of it is a construct. all the minutes, the seconds and the hours are created by humans for human use. this being, if we decided to stop using them, time would continue because our measurements of it are simply arbitrary and for our convience. although our time system is based on our preception of where the sun is in relation to us, it is still not in perfect rhythem with the sun. every few years time is altered by a few seconds so as to not have us waking up when the sun is going down (although that would take a millenia). so time, in the sense of a clock,  is not a true mesurment it is just a system created to keep people synchronized. \n\nthere are a few theories on the true nature of time, but one of the most accepted ones is that we are on a continuem (the time-space). If time were to stop if we threw away all our time keeping peices by the same reasoning there would be no dementions if we got rid of all rulers and meter sticks. \n\nanother theory is that time does not exist at all and it is merely and illusion created by our brain to make sense of events. in this case time wouldnt stop because it never was. \n\nyou ask if time would "stand still". that makes the assumption that time is in constant movement. most ideas on time state that we are moving through time, not vice versa.

The same time as it was one second ago. The only reason it would change would be if the time was like 8:21:59; one second from that would be 8:22.\n :)

Definite. Time will always go on, even after everything else is gone.

Hi Jerry, for me the best solution is http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/\nand you can even set it up for what ever clocks around the world you want. { :-)

Yes, it is the same time here as there.  Time is an artificial construct; an illusion that we use to mark the progression of our stay on this planet.  Time doesn't truly exist, we exist and we use the various methods of measuring time (clocks, watches, egg timers, etc.) to keep track of how long we are in existence.

I'm confused by the question.  If you mean, did some act of congress do away with daylight savings time, then no.  Daylight savings time is still alive and well and used over large portions of the world.  In the US, the only states that don't use it are Arizona and Indiana, though Indiana is set to start using it, I hear.

If someone was to clean your clock, I mean really clean your clock it would stop working, it would be damaged, in other words it would take on human qualities and die.

If we count sundials, we are talking ancients.  Even water clocks and timed candles (with lines on them for how long it burns in an hour) are pretty ancient.

No.  I set my clocks 10 minutes slow.\n\nI like to be fashionably late.

We put the clocks forward by 1hr on Sunday 26th March 2006 and then put them back by an hour on the 29th October. It is basically to get more hours of daylight at decent times of the day!\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Summer_Time

When 1 o`clock passes, I can go as long as I need to. Around 1 is my critical time, and when that passes I can go on till morning. I suppose I loose sense of time after 1.

it depends on ones perception of time,the universe may have ended already,but we exist in a dimension that does not recognize it.perhaps the universe as humanity knows it will never end...

No. Time moves us all.

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.
