What is Time?
2018.
Just a number, isn't it? Besides, we're the ones who decided it is the year 2018. The whole concept of time was created by humans in the first place; time doesn't exist.
The concept of time was engineered in order to assist humans to study and describe physical phenomena that were being observed. In Physics, the term ''physical phenomenon'' is used to describe anything and everything that takes place in the third dimensional plane, from thunderstorms to the motion of vehicles on the Earth's surface. Every measurable quantity taken into consideration when studying a phenomenon is actually evidently existent, however the same doesn't apply for time. Time was engineered to describe successive changes in a situation.
Even though time doesn't exist, its effects and consequences are evident. You are born weak and grow strong only to inevitably turn weaker again. Time's periodic pattern is always repeated, day to night, summer to winter, year to year, birth to death, rise to demise, skin to bone and steel to rust. Time is never guaranteed nor owned; our time is borrowed. Keeping such a thought in mind might motivate you to make the best of your time while you still have the time.
Time is money. If you ever think you're broke, you're wrong. You're not. You have 86400 seconds every day to organize, make good decisions and plan your next move which will guarantee access to resources. Even if you can't seem to figure out a way to make money, spend those 86400 seconds wisely. Use your time to educate yourself and do research. Nobody ever regreted having knowledge. If you can't spend your time to gather funds, use it to collect knowledge. It's like investing. Treat your time as respectfully and thoughtfully as you would treat your funds.
Another interesting fact about time is that its rate is relevant to one's mental state. I'm sure you've noticed how time flies when you're having a wonderful time. To the contrary, time stops when you're at work and can't wait to run back home! So why does this happen? It's a scientific fact that gravity distorts time, that means it's already been proven that time as a measurable quantity can be manipulated. When you move at the speed of light time stops, meaning that if one kept moving at the speed of light for 30 years (as perceived by an observer), by the time they stopped moving they wouldn't have aged at all. That said, how can one be sure that our whole lifetime isn't just one second as perceived by some other intelligence?
So much about time. And it's about time I took my dog out for a walk.

I love this post. Time and it's conceptual inception in our society has been one tool that's allowed us to advance ourselves through the periods we have decided to alot during our lifetimes. And an unwillingness to accept it the way it is, has caused us to alter it immemorial.
@vigilantrespawn Thank you for your kind and thoughtful input. Well said.
Yep, I like to think of time like something that is subjective, and also something that is not absolute or external to us despite the appearances.
@eternalsunshine I see you! Thank you for your thoughtful comment!
I dont have time for this *-)
@gpa1950 I see what you did there ! :P

Interesting article. Do make up your mind whether time exists or not, though. You start by saying it doesn't exist; that it's a human concept, but then go on to describe its effects and consequences. So if something doesn't exist, how can it have effects or consequences? This comment is only meant to expand on the topic. Thanks for sharing this.
@highersonic Thank you for your thoughtful input! I implied that time is an artificial measurable quantity used to describe successive changes in a phenomenon. Changes exist and constantly take place. Time is a vehicle for the mind to imprint the occurrence of events.
Keep in mind that everything mentioned above is my humble point of view, which is why the article was tagged in philosophy and not science.
Can you prove that the mind exists?
Basically there's little to no evidence that reality exists. Quantum Entanglement is one of the reasons why this Universe can't be real in the first place.
Are you real?
Can't prove whether I am or not.
Happy New Year :)
lol jk. Thanks for sharing.
Whether we believe in it or not, we all have this allotted amount of it in which to do what we choose. So, whether you believe or not. Remember you have limitless potential.
@vigilantrespawn Thank you!
My point is, does the author believe it exists or not? Because he starts by saying it doesn't exist but then goes on to prove the opposite. I guess I was expecting to read a case for why it doesn't exist.
@highersonic Depends on the reader / observer ;) Nothing exists without an observer.
