Question
What would our world be like if time didnt exist?
I dont think that time is a pshysical thing, rather a thoughtform which has given rise to a time culture and offshoots. These include time pieces watches, clocks, timers etc lifestyles nightlife, rat race etc mindsets jetlag, Monday morning blues, that Friday feeling and so on.
Answer
Star question!brWonder why you chose to put it here under philosophy. The physicist has already given a highly read scientific answer which indeed is great!!brLet me anyway attempt a philosophical answer.brbrIndeed time is relative if we did not have scientific instruments to measure it .... more importantly, our thought process seems to beat the time though not quite totally.... but our physical processes can not beat time except for marginal changes... our heart beat is fairly regular in terms of time, we can run a mile in minutes, but certainly not in minutes or even less. brbrEven our thought process consumes time, however fast it might be. brbrI would therefore say that if time did not exist, there would only be imagination, no thoughts, no physical activities, nothing except imagination. The whole world would be nonphysical imaginary existence... something similar to what we understand by illusion....brbrMind boggling, really!! Thanks again for one of the greatest questions I have seen posted here!!
