What is time?

"Humans perceive time as something linear.  For some, the future runs into the present, which runs into the past.  For others, the opposite.  For others, the present runs into both future and past.  For others still, time does not exist at all.  But we can’t deny that we are different than we were last year.  Time, like walking towards the horizon,  seems linear, but is actually cyclical.  The past and future are not two ends of a spectrum but two directions on a circle."

"Wear and tear. Death and rebirth."

"Apparently, physicists have decided it’s impossible to travel back in time, only forward. Would anyone want to travel forward in time, not knowing what will await them and knowing they’d never be able to return? That’s quite a commitment."

“Time is a construct. I have often wondered if it is indeed necessary or not. I’m not going to get all ‘Hawking’, but rather keep this relatively simple. For the basis of this answer it is necessary to look at the two factors, which impact what we know as relative time as compared to absolute time. The two factors are the Rotation of the earth about its axis and the Revolution of the earth around the sun. The world as it now exists has the notable occurrence of the rise and fall of the sun, which occurs, in a regular pattern. This observed pattern gives us what we have named day and night. This pattern is due to the rotation of the earth about its own axis. Simultaneously, the earth is revolving around the sun. The revolution of the earth around the sun is responsible for the shift in seasons (anywhere from 2-4 seasons are experienced throughout the world). To quantify these changes time was constructed. Time as we know It uses 60 as its base. Sixty is a number with 12 factors. Now that the basics are laid out we can delve into the question of what is time?”

"Space-time is a plane of existence by which humans exist and abide.  It appears to be an endless ocean of time and space, governed by gravity.  Humans experience time in this linear way, confined by our limited intelligence and capacity.  However, what if, like the Earth, the plane of space-time was actually round and cyclical?  What if black holes were thus just vortexes which transcended traveling through space-time altogether, in essence allowing for time-travel?  Cosmic Subways, if you will.  Enter one and emerge from any others, anywhere in the Universe."

"Time is a creation of the mind and does not exists. Pasts are determined by memories and memories are not the past. Future are determined by concepts of the past about what is going to happen and through learned experiences of patterns. Time is a human construct made for referencing the universe that does not mean time exists in reality. What exists is the eternal moment of the present – everything and anything happens in this space of infinite possibilities."

“”Physical sciences have a kind of linear approach to matters of the universe. Time runs in one direction. The physical body is considered the death of the person. When we look at space, they say it’s moving away at a frantic pace. Soon there may be no stars to see. Where will they go? ‘Zero’ was invented on Vedic math. All other numbers are limiting, while Zero is expansive. If you look at Vedic thought it’s all in circles. Nothing is linear….

"Time is an obsession of the modern man. But I believe it could once be simply described as 'the changing of seasons' or 'when the berries come in.'"
