Or could it just be something created by humans that's imaginary?

It wouldn't be best I am saying that this is indeed a forum to debate. So, don't say it isn't.

Everything you can imagine might be unreal, as well as time.

However, Time is usually seen as the 4th dimension, which makes it just as basic as the metric system. we use seconds and minutes and hours and days and year to describe it, like we use centimeters and millimeters to describe length.

We probley have the wrong time I mean although we have good sicence the Earth probley is longer than 24 Hours a Day and maybe Night is Day and Day is Night, because who ever made time had to be exact and what would the odds of that?

Seriously: WTF? Day is day because it is a definition. And so is night. And the definition of an hour was 1/24 of a day (which is a very inaccurate definition).

With the definitions of nowadays a day is about 23h 56min 4s.

i thought a real day was longer than 24 hours? and that's why we have leap year?

if a day was shortened by 4 minutes:
(4*365=1460, 1460/60= ~24)

which would add one day to the end of the year, resulting in 366 days

wow this is so freaking confusin! but I agree with loloynage2

Yes, time is real. Now, how we calculate it is completely made by humans.

No, a day is 24 hours, but a year is approximately 365 1/4 days. Over the course of four years, the fractions are compiled into one extra day, hence a leap year

Time is often referred to as the fourth dimension. But what is a dimension exactly? A dimension is like a line, with infinite points, each time you add a dimension, you multiply that by infinity again, as every existing point is stretched to an infinite line.

The first dimension is a line. Total points = Infinity (x)
The second is a square. Total points = Infinity^2 (x,y)
The third is a box. Total points = Infinity^3 (x,y,z)

You could keep this pattern going, stretching each point infinitely into its own line, so the fourth dimension has Infinity^4 points. (x,y,z,t)

Theoretically, you could do the reverse, compacting these lines into a single point. Total Points = Infinity^0
This would be the 0th dimension.

The length of a sidereal day (360°-rotation of the earth) is 23h 56min 4s. The length of a solar day (interval between two successive returns of the Sun to the local meridian) varies but is in the middle 24h.

The leap year is because a year is about 365.25 (solar) days.

start at like 2:40 to get to the 4th dimension explanation put in simple terms

My oppinion is, that time isn't really existing.
''Time'' is only a chain of events.

Time is often referred to as the fourth dimension.

It's called spacetime. The 4th dimension is a combination of our three dimensions plus time (Actual physics).

Do these chain of events exist? If so, then time exists.
