I wouldn't say that we named things that aren't there. Ã'd say time is a human construct based on observations of real processes. Our notion of time allowed the fantasy of time travel, but I think the actual processes aren't perfectly reversible. Maybe we can call our notion of time a simple misinterpretation that works just fine in everyday life?
good real educated people on the internet... cool... and i totally agree on your ideas... since there isnt a standard time EVERYwhere then we must of fabricated.. also i was wondering... do you think the universe or time was first

I think even if you assume time, like we imagine it, would exist, it couldn't have been there first; it has to begin with a timeless state. I can't exactly explain it, let's just say I've shed tears meditating on similar questions as a kid.

Literaly shed tears? I never really had hard thinking on a subject other than am I sane, and how to melt dimonds.
Oh also I believe in fate, because I have deja vu (i think thats how u spell it) alot and it usualy tells me a second more of whats going to happen and it does happen (for some reason that's stopped happening to me actualy, but at one time it happened once a day).

I don't know, I imagined if we'd follow a timeline backwards, we'd never find a beginning since there must be a past to everything with our time concept. Then I started thinking, if there was a beginning, was there simply nothing before, and, it may sound stupid but how long was there nothing? The worst and most depressing thought of all was the combination; assuming that there has always been time, yet matter was created out of nothing at one point, there was absolutely nothing all before that point on the timeline, and if we'd follow that timeline backwards we'd go on eternally and find absolutely nothing. As a kid that totally freaked me out. Now of course, I think differently and assume time is only a construct, which makes it possible to have a timeless state to begin with, which means that an "eternal past" isn't necessary. Still weird to imagine a state without time, but at least it explain things.

I agree that assuming there was no time before us helps alot. Then you won't have to figure out exactly what time DID the universe start? I'm not really one to try to figure out how did it start though, because that requires alot of thinking and I should be doing my HW but I thought if I just stay on the politcs forum it makes a great excuess on why I'm not done yet.
i just cried...QQ but really that is completly right... and the sad thing is that wee wil NEVER find out ....
Only idea I got for finding out is to build (ironicly) a time machiene. Not one that runs on actual time but just is like hitting the undo button agian and agian (reguarding ur not undoing the undo).
