Time?

[Your Computer]

Why do people have the tendency to complicate what is simple? in my point of view. awareness does not define time. the mind does not define anything. saying that awareness is what defines time is like saying a water fall will stop flowing if we aren't looking at it.

things are already in motion whit or whiteout us.

all we do is to view a portion of those movements.

time can exist whiteout a "public".

like a river whit no fish. the only difference is that we wouldn't know how really fast it would go because we wouldn't be there to measure it.

Why do you try to simplify things without understanding? Things may already be in motion, but in the dimension of time that we fall under, things can only move forward in time. Therefore everything that is in motion was not always in motion. Which would lead back to my statement.

I am uncertain of what you mean by "awareness defining time," but i don't recall making a statement that could be linked to a "waterfall will stop moving if we stop staring at it."

What I am basically saying is what is known as "time" now, was thought up of by and for humans. Perhaps if humans never existed, where would "time" be? Would the universe just stop? No, of course not. Everything moves whether we exist or not. So the IDEA of time (24 hours, days, months, etc.) was created by humans to get a better understanding of how the universe moves. Movement would still persist without our input. Time is not aware of its existence, but it still exists. Otherwise we would all be "frozen".

If there was no noticable restriction (that only things in this dimension of time can only move forward in time), would you not be able to so-called time travel with ease? Also, if there existed no such thing as time, how could you therefore be frozen in time?

When you say "idea of time" you're really talking about "measurement of time." A measurement of time always requires a subjective reference point, or you would not be able to measure time. Yet, would you say water does not exist because we can measure it in gallons? For how can you measure something that doesn't exist? Can a person look into another person's mind and say, "Your idea is 'this' big"? Instead, understanding in this fashion requires reference from reality, even if the measurement itself is subjective.
