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

as mage said... the elastic proteins in your skin lose their elasticity and no longer pull back to where they should... hence the stretching. its similar to how emphyzema occurs in the lungs. the elastin gets damaged and it doesn't recoil like it should anymore.

How did we get to the effects of gravity on skin from the topic of "Do you think time is real?"? please try to stay on topic. If you counter something someone said, add something that contributes to the original post, otherwise it's just trollfeeding.

I'm not sure. But time is just a term, so it may not exist

That's not why we get wrinkles as we age, the skin loses it's elasticity.


Oh, thanks for correcting me as I am not totally clear on everything I say.

Time should be in the same box as love. You can see it. Understand it to a point. But you can't hold onto it and the absence of both create something dark.

Gravity effects the passage of time by slowing it down. So cleofer5 inaccurately concluded gravity gives you wrinkles.

That's rather poetic, but I don't think they are really all that comparable.

I am sorry about the wrinkles, but gravity IS one of the reasons you age. Your body constantly battles it throughout your life. This I know for fact.

It's not the reason you age, I think the reason for this is that the body losses a chemical enzyme called telomerase. Gravity just effects how we age, mainly hight.

In Europe we measure length with meters, in America with inches en yard, so which of those is the real one? And if you would say they're both real, well, then countries can come up with their "own time".


This is our standard form of time because the French revolution has already tried to introduce the decimal time which is 10 decimal hours a day 100 decimal seconds a decimal seconds and 100 decimal minutes a decimal hour.

Thats more like it.

I get the feeling its not that simple. Or relevant!

Gravity makes us age because it weakens us. I think we are seeing two sides to this?

I believe it may be conjured up by humans to track things. Even if it's fake, you can't deny that it's useful.
So don't waste time (ha) thinking about it. Just use it as the tool it was made to be.

If anything it actually strengthens, because we have to work against it which would build up more muscle. Once you grow old, its not weakening you, its just makes you take more energy to walk. The difference is, it doesn't take away your energy, it makes you use more of it. And even if your argument was true (it's not), it's still not making you age, its affecting how you age.

If time isn't real, my clock is just a phony and a liar.

I apologize for my lack of scientific discussions in this topic, but I literally know nothing about physics and that sort of thing. All I can say is, time was created by man in the beginning to measure lengths of how long stuff took, to put it simply.

Time is not real.

It will never end


You just stated one side of the argument and supported it with an irrelevant statement...
