mumof4 Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 What is time?..A measure of seconds, minutes, hours, days, months and years?..We all have used the expressions at some point...time flys..where has the time gone?I don't have enough time?Times up!...I need more time.Give me time.if i had all the time in the world.....time is ticking...so much to do and not enough time to do it all....In a moment..in a minute.See you in an hour.. How can we have all the time in the world?Time is endless..never ceasing..time is steady and constantly ticks away so how can time fly?..how can we give someone time?..we can't see time but it is there all around us ticking away the days and the seasons then the years untill then we realise we don't have much time left, then we question where has the time gone?where has it flown?Time is our past, our presant, our future. In time we say, on time, late, early, spot on time....so many sayings associated with time.Why?..time never stops.time never starts..time is endless and we all have our time. Time is a curious thing.It rules our lives from day to day.when we sleep, when we wake, when we work,when we are born, when we die. So what is Time?..we have the time of our lives, we make time, we lose time, the times we have lost.Time is everything.It is like the air that we breath, it is always there. Quote
tiny Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 Was gonna read your post just didn't have the......... Quote
Guest wolfie Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 and the point of that post was to ......waste time :D and to prove that some people have way too much spare time on their hands :huh: Quote
mumof4 Posted April 9, 2007 Author Report Posted April 9, 2007 well time does have a habit of running away from us :D Quote
Bigjeeze Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 Time per se doesn't exist - We only measure and mark time for our own benefit - Time of itself is a concept - it is not tangible it has no form or physical presence or being.If you didn't measure it how would you know it existed? Quote
big_kev Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 Time does exist..........if it did not neither would parking meters ! Quote
AndeeeH Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 According to David Bowie, Time was a dirty little devil who "flexing like a w**re, fell w**king to the floor"!!!!! ;) Andy. Quote
El Dingo Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 Time is also a coordinate - you can't fix the position of anything in only three dimensions. Think you can? Well, I was over there five minutes ago... Quote
mumof4 Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Posted April 10, 2007 Time is relative....what does that mean?...anyway, if time is a co-ordinate, and you were over there 5 mins ago, and you are here 5 mins later, in another 5 mins where would you be? Quote
El Dingo Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 Time is relative....what does that mean?...anyway, if time is a co-ordinate, and you were over there 5 mins ago, and you are here 5 mins later, in another 5 mins where would you be? Relative to the observer. As for where I'm going to be in five minutes, you'll just have to guess. ;) Quote
mumof4 Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Posted April 10, 2007 In time all good things come to those who wait....soooo..does that mean you have to wait for time to catch up?..the time has come.......is another saying.the right time is now.....we have so many sayings to do with time!!...how has time become so important?how have we let it rule our lives?we set our clocks at a certain time to get up...we eat meals at set times.....kids have bed times......we have appointments at certain times... Hmm......i dont half wonder about silly things sometimes..Time is important to us as in the great scheme of things, we dont have much of it. Quote
Bigjeeze Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 OK lets put it another way.. If we changed the way we measure time so instead of minutes we had something else with a differing measured period then it could be that 5mins may be a day or a night - we gave time measurements they are only there because we say so - so ignore them and you have all the time you need .

mumof4 Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Posted April 10, 2007 sooo..if 5 mins was say one day...that means that 35 mins is one week...times that by 52 that means a year lasts only 1820 mins.30 odd hours i think....Hmmm.....more thought needed. what about all the time in the world?how much time is there in the world? if we forget time, how can we have all the time that we need as technically now there is no time if you dont want there to be, Quote
