Time..
November 11, 2014 at 6:42 pm
Time doesn't exist.. apparently... as a day doesn't exist away from the Earth.
And on Earth your feet are older than your head (or the other way round)... due to gravity.
So we only know the immediate now.... so what is the past... and the future? are they not constructs of time?
And what is time?
Can anyone respond to that in two minutes on a forum?

Time is the fourth dimension of spacetime, and it does indeed exist.
Days exist away from the Earth. It's just that exoplanetary days have differing length, according to the local rotational period.
The past are the days that came before this one.
The future are those days that have yet to pass.

Time is the measure of entropy of space.

Time is the universe's way to keep everything from happening at once.
