When we ask a question about something that does not exist,(time)it is not surprising
that we get many answers,all somewhat different!

Hi Michael;

I hope everything is going well for you.

Actually I think time does exist as a concept, it's just not a real physical entity.

Best to you my friend,

Pat

Thats right Pat,Micky Mouse is a concept,but hardly real!


regards michael.

This of course depends on your definition of existence. Does space exist? I would answer to this "yes, since I can move in space." Does time exist? Well, the answer would be the same "yes, I can move in time." What is your definition of existence in this context?

Hello neutralino,btw,your name here reminds of Italian icecream,my definition of
existence is being aware that I am aware,and know that to be.

Thanks Michael;

First I find out Santa is an illusion and now you tell me Mickey isn't real.

Thanks a lot,

Pat

P.S. I even had a Mickey Mouse watch, proving the existence of both Mickey and time

Well, icecream definitely exists .

Using this line of logic, one can say that space exists, because one is aware of it, but is one not aware of time, especially time passing? Does this not imply that time exists?

That is right,prehaps I should have said that time is only relatively real,and not
absolutely real,which also applies to space,space is only relative,not absolute.

"P.S. I even had a Mickey Mouse watch, proving the existence of both Mickey and time."

Affirmative, Prof.
The (including yer former) real Mickey Mouse watch really tells time by moving at right angles - perpendicular - to its three recognized dimensions.

There's an ongoing theater (called 'The Universe') that expands on that theme... (It's more recent and earthly inflationary reviews are accelerating along with the Disneyland and Broadway based chronographers who keep track of such local - and remote - ongoing events)...
