There is no future or past, just present. Only thing that determines (like what we call "time") the present is something called "entropy".


^this... time is like a fire that burns..... the past was once a present that had its chance and now its over.. and just like a flame burns paper and the paper cannot be restored EVER... so to is time....

forget all this time is a river nonsense... time is a flame....

Time is made up. Flames aren't.

True. But measurable relative to measurements and instruments we made.

I'm not sure time exists. I think it exists because we rely on it to navigate our daily routines. It's more of a concept. Unlike weight or length which is tangible, time really is in our heads. Unless your relying on cycles like sun up or the moon. Then I can understand that.

if time didnt exist we would live forever, wouldnt age etc. you can count how old you are because of time.
