This is an argument based entirely on perspective thus there can be no winner, no right or wrong. Just what you choose to believe.

So if you want to argue that a present does exist you have to realize that to be able to say it is the present you have to think it first. Time moves much faster than a human brain can even think it's the present.

So time is always 1 step ahead of us.


In the bold section you say time is fake (basically) then as you go on you contradict yourself speaking of time moving faster than the human mind. See we can all play with the wording from other people but what I pointed out is irrelevant to the argument of t

Your logic is terrible.

Time is a man made system, so these opinions should be taken with a grain of salt.

Present does exist, but we cannot feasibly comprehend it, as it is so immediate. By the time out brains know what presently happened, it is already past. All we can comprehend is what happened in the past. "The human mind cannot understand a variable in life, until it experiences that variable." So we can predict that something will happen, but never can we see the future, therefore future is not comprehendable by the human mind. We know future exists, because life continues on. If there was no future, then this post would not be made and you would not be able to read it. Therefore future exists.

Now to explain past, well we know past exists, because it is the former future.

Yes i agree that my first statement was not well explained or drawn out. But if you read the rest of the thread you will see that i redeem myself. And i explain what i meant better.

False.

In order to perceive the present you must void yourself of all past recollection and future speculation. Only then can one grasp the hyperplane known as the present.

False.

Time is not man made, the calculation by a quantitative measure is man made. Time did exist before man and will exist after man. Time is linear and can even be slowed down or speed up. Time is very real and exist as the fourth dimension.

your second reply here is BS trying to look smart time never speeds up or slows down it's just our perception, Einstiens Theory of relativity.

Einsteins Theory of Relativty states that when a object or body in motion relative to a stationary object or comes under a high gravitational field time will slow down. It's called Time-Dilation or Gravitational Time-Dilation. This is proven because GPS satellites are constantly being updated with the correct time on earth, not the slower time the satellite in orbit gathers. If we did not correct this time there would be no satellites. This is proof that time does slow down for objects in motion.

If it is perception, then why have we invented complex mathmatical equations to compensate for this loss in time???

Maybe because its not perceived but actually happening?
