Time?

Wothless? I'd never call this worthless. This is getting closer to argument for the sake of argument, or at least it was a month and a half ago until everyone else had had their say. But, like the good fool/knight/whatever I am, I bring the thread back up again.

Time is a concept, like peace or freedom. It's hard enough to define it, and we may never figure out how to travel through it if it exists in a way for it to be traveled through. Although I did read an interesting Popular Science article that explains one way that travel backward (to a point when the effort to travel backward through time) could be possible. But it involved many things I know little about. I'd explain it but this is already a nice long post on a nice long thread, so if you want me to, I will, but not now.

Time might very well be like God - it exists for each person in the form you see it in. Hmm, I think it's time to start another thread now.

Well, as I wasn't here a month and a half ago, I'll state my opinion now.

Time IS. We experience time day by day because that is how we have been taught to percieve it. Time exists all at once, we just comprehend it day-by-day, like running around a circle.

As what I said makes little sense even to me, here's th basic idea: Time is a lake, It is all there at once. We experience it as a river, for at the edge there is a strong current that sends us in a circlular motion. As it's circular, it seems to repeat to us, with no beginning and no end. Of course, its all there to begin with, but we just cant grasp it.

As for time travel, do we not travel time every day? Arent our thoughts most occupied in the future or the past, rarely the present?
