  1. @Pioneer1Speak for yourself. We don't all share the opinion that time exists. The closest we can come to a consensus is to acknowledge that time is a hypothetical concept that pits one perception against another. @DelanoTime is an intangible condition incapsulated in a verbal definition as opposed to a tangible entity visible to the eye. @Pioneer1And this is what I mean about you intruding into every post, expressing your unsolicited opinion. if you think the debate about time is nonsense then stay the hell out of the discussion.
  2. Knowing the quality of time not only maximizes the success of your actions. It also gives you the frame of the field in which you are interacting. Plus I like having time as my hobby.
  3. LOL! funny! @Delano Yes, that helps somewhat, but I think it will take some time for me to understand it fully. Here is one thought about what you said about bounding the ball; When I think about the ball bouncing and how 'light travels faster than sound', I IMAGINE THAT AT THE VERY TIME THE BALL BOUNCES, THEN IT WOULD HAVE LIT UP AND THAT LIGHT WOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY BEEN SEEN ALL THE WAY IN LONDON OR WHEREVER, and then eventually the sound would be heard in London afterwards! Now after all of understanding that concept, then comes the next step!!! HOW TO MEASURE THAT LIGHT AND SOUND with respect to the distance from point A to point B!!! Oh Wow! That's a thought! But I absolutely believe you! Yes, I think I understand what you are saying but don't know if it helps me completely. Yes, it is difficult @Pioneer1 IMO because it is useful to know how time is measured. It relates to a lot of things. But, yeah, I agree, if Black people don't see that we are being mocked and debating over issues of thought when we are getting our butts kicked by racist, then we need to put the books down for a while. LOL.
  4. My concept of time precludes a past or future. The time is now, nothing else exists. Things only exist in present tense. The following is from the Oxford English Dictionary exist verb not used in the progressive tenses) to be real; to be present in a place or situation
