I think they mean time as time from a clock. Of course if you mean the demension, then of course it exists, or else there would be no movement, or thoughts, from anything, forever (although forever wouldn't be a concept).

If you keep asking "Why we exist", you'll just get frustrated, because there is no answer and we just have to wait til we die. Unless something so extraordinary happens while we're alive, that somehow someone figures out why we're here... that's incredibly unlikely to happen in our lifetime.Quote:

-A feather and cannonball are dropped at the exact same time and hit the ground at the exact same time. Science says it's gravity, a force that pulls the two objects towards the center of the planet, right now, that's the best explanation. So we all assume it's right.
With that notion, Time is was only created for our convenience. Just so we don't have to count moons as a form of telling 'time' or whatever you may call it.
Hate to burst you bubble, but it's trivial to prove that dimensions exist. It's been done to death, actually. Read The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene, if you would like a good, clear explanation of this and other aspects of quantum physics written in layman's terms.

Time is just another unit of measurement. It's just another way to explain what is happening around us.. eventually there'll be a different accepted idea used to describe 'time' and what we now believe will look ignorant, but at the moment it's all we've got.

you must've misinterpretated my post. I was just trying to get across that most things in our everyday life are man-made, that we dont even think about. Including the concept of time, clocks, whatever.
You are doing just what I cautioned against in my earlier post: You are conflating the measurement of time, with the entity to be measured.Quote:
