Time can be perceived in a few ways. Some of those ways include it being a state of mind; nothing from the past or future exists once it's over with. Another way to look at it is that the past, present, and future are always existing.
While both thoughts are respected by me, I am going to be biased here, since my stance is that time is a state of mind.
Humans feel the need to measure. Whether you like it or not, we measure things. Whether it's predicting the time, calculating a distance from point A to point B, or simply just measuring the length of something, we measure.
"It's about five miles from our house to the restaurant."
"I'm going to be about ten minutes late for work."
"The Empire State Building is about a fourth of a mile's length! Can you believe it?"
How does this relate to the topic that time is a state of mind? Measurement. We measure it. It's a complex idea to think out.
Humans must measure everything. Measuring is unnatural. You don't see hedgehogs grabbing rulers and measuring the depth of their hole to predict whether or not it will cave in (exaggeration). They rely on instinct for this matter; we do not.
Time was used to organize events in history. And now those events are currently not existing. In our memories, yes, they are, but our memories cannot be viewed by other beings. A daydream isn't real, is it? It is not.
To think of this topic further, time cannot exist more than once. The current moment for this time's existence is 0.00000000...(infinite amount of 0s)...1. Once that time passes, it no longer exists.
Time (on a clock) is basically used to determine the sun and moon's position. At 6:30 AM, the sun begins to rise. At 12:00 midnight, the moon is currently showing. This tells us the moment of day it is at the moment, and you cannot go back in time to see it again. Once it happens, it happens. You cannot bring the sun back up at 11:30 PM; it's impossible.
The thought of time machines helps this matter as well. To go back in time, everything that just recently happened must rewind itself. That does not just mean people walking backwards and voices running back to the speaker. This means cells having to de-mitosis, atoms that have formed into another material must go back into the original form, our vision must rewind itself... These things are impossible. This also means we'd have to interfere with nature. The Earth must revolve the other way, orbit the other way. The Moon must do this as well. And the other planets and stars have to follow through. Everything in the entire universe must rewind itself in order to go back in time. This is impossible.
Even if we were to go back in time, we cannot really go back in time. We'd just be reversing the past events back to the original positions that they were at before. Not to mention that if we rewind time that the future would change, even if we didn't do anything. Rewinding the thoughts of people do not change their thoughts back to the original form. They might make a different choice; they can only forget the future events that are about to happen. If somebody chose a cappuccino at Starbucks, and then time was put in reverse, they might instead choose a frappuccino. Their mind would still be working, considering that time is nonexistent. And perhaps their mind will change their... well, mind. Nothing can happen exactly the same way after it happens, even if the person who had no changes done to them were to redo the whole action.
And... Umm... Uh... That's it. ._. My mind is fumbled now on the whole subject.
I must go lie down to treat my headache...
Ssssooooooo...
I expect a lot of "YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THISSS!!! :pissed: " comments now.
At least try not to strangle me...
