Re:Philosophy + Physics = Frustrating Fun 12 Years, 2 Months ago  
i have to disagree with not henry porter's linkage of time and memory. we do not have to travel through time to access our memories, which is why things from 30 years ago often seem as if they happened yesterday. it takes no more time to remember a memory from yesterday as it takes to remember one from 30 years ago.

time is essentially a way of measuring spacial relationships. The time measurements that are functional to our life on earth are based upon the time it takes the earth to orbit the sun, and the time it takes the moon to orbit the earth. Distance measurements in space are based upon the speed of light.

i have recently been thinking about how the expansion of the universe might affect the relativity of time perception. is there anyone here who knows if the length of our orbit around the sun would change if the universe was expanding in all directions? if so, our measurement of time based on orbits would be an illusion of perception. our measurement would remain the same but the properties of that which is measured would change. this might account for the common feeling that each successive year seems shorter.

even a faulty measurement of time suits the purpose of its measurement. without it, we would not be able to calculate such basic and essential things such as when to plant the seeds and when to prepare for the harvest. we would be unsure of how many daylight hours we had. if we got rid of time, it wouldnt be long before people again started noticing the phases of the moon and began mapping out charts that would soon become months and the concept of time would return.
