Agreed that time is a man made rationalization.

Its a nice thought and opens up wide spread speculation, but its what someone decided "would be" many thousands of years ago...and to this day is being adjusted to the changing world.




Kind of like a three a three letter word starting "G" and ending in "D".

word

I didint read what the guy above wrote but:



Time and space are connected. Many theories indicate that space infact is bendable and because E=mC^2, Time=space, time has to be bendable.
And I personally think that if you travel fast enough for long enough you will eventually end up where you started, but this is impossible because the enlargening of universe is faster than the speed of light. So if the space is linked to time, and space is bendable and a circle, so has to be time.




Glad if helped.

hah obviously

Time is not man-made. Just look at the effects of time-dilation and length-contraction due to gravitation. Say we have an atomic clock at the surface of the earth, and a atomic clock at the top of a clock tower. These two clocks will run at different paces, the clock at the bottom running slower than the one at the top.

My comment seemed to have no weight... ^^ I think that will be my hopeful first and disappointed last contribution to the S&T forum.

I simply don't have the background knowledge to fully comprehend your comment. Hopefully, someday I will be enlightened enough to appreciate it and discuss it. I read the whole thing, I understood very little. I realize that physically we comprehend and deal with things in 3-dimensions. I know mathematically we can deal with as many dimensions as we want. Right now I can only accept that their are 5 dimensions. The physical 3-d, space, and time. I can't seem to follow your theory about their being more dimensions, I just don't have enough understanding of the subject yet.
