Time traveling is just full of crap, innit?
#35
RE: Time traveling is just full of crap, innit?
Of course clocks are just tools to measure our own perceptions of time rather than objective measures of time itself passing. What does it even mean for time to pass? There is only really ever the present at any particular time T. There's what was present before and there's what's present now and there's what will be present later. Temporally in actuality I mean, I don't mean that our perceptions can't appear to experience things from the past. When we look at a distant star we appear to be seeing light 'from the past'.... but what we're actually seeing is our own current perception of what used to be over on that distant star but is no longer there. Just like no one actually ages differently due to time travel. The clocks may change but hell, day light saving time makes the clocks change too... is that time travel? Tongue
