Is it true? If not, and time does exist, is it linear or cyclical?

Time really doesn't exist. It's not much of a theory. To a photon, there is no travel time, only beginning and destination; all travel distance in-between takes no time at the speed of light. For there to be time, there must be a conscious observer. In a way, we create time.

Time is necessary for the concept change. Something is in one place at one time, then somewhere else at another. Both the concepts of time and space are necessary for this. Without time they'd be either in both positions or neither.

I don't even know what the fuck you think time is.

Unless something interrupts its path.

Because particles can't occupy the same state, right?

It exists or doesn't the same way length does or doesn't exist. But it is useful despite being non-existent. It's a measurement.

You're overthinking it. Time is just a measurement of a thing relative to itself. You are old, but you used to be young. That measurement is called time.

People don't seem to understand anymore that "dimension" just means "measurement". Their minds immediately jump to time travel and multiverses and other sci-fi shenanigans and they lump the concept of time travel in with time itself and dismiss all of it like complete retards.

Things happen or they don't, otherwise, a rock forever. No time. Time is, things happening.

Quoted By:

According to special relativity time is relative. Travel at enough speed and you'll see stars be born and die in (your) seconds. This implies that future and past exist in some sense, and time is an illusion. On the other hand, quantum mechanics says time running forward and backward is the same. But we don't have language to talk about time without referencing time. Words like periodicity, change, oscillation, etc all depend on the concept of time.

i would argue that you never were young, there is no proof of it.
i dont say you cannot show me a picture when you were young and say that you were once young.
im saying that there is no way to proof that past were existent, watched from today

You're not arguing against the existence of time, you're arguing against time travel. That there's no magic, cosmic, record of the past that you could somehow explore. See: >>14277868

And you can technically view into the past simply by being far enough away, because light has a speed limit. Same with sound. Anything you hear you're hearing after it happened.

How about I stab you? If I were to walk up to you right now and stab you right in the ball sack, would you say it never happened because the second I pull the knife out it became unprovable, because it happened in the past?

Would the idea that "the past didn't happen" still apply, or would you want to take me to court for assault despite proving you a hypocritical faggot?

time is just a measure of motion so in that sense obviously it exists but the Universe is eternal so it is a pointless thing to measure in a linear sense unless you do it because it has some usefulness which is what humans do because it does
