Time: Didn’t Exist before Life
Life creates time.
Time is an invented tool of the mind. The mind paints moments onto a canvas to record events in a fixed order. Moments themselves are timeless.
Time does not exist without the mind.
Time only exists in the mind.
We build clocks, nature does not
Nature does not mark time. We interpret natural and created changes as markers of time. Natural atomic events and manufactured gear movements become our clocks.
Nature does not add any meanings or interpretations.
We call a thing a clock and interpret it to track our invented time.
Space-time is imaginary
The brilliant theory of relativity teaches us that time slows as speed increases or gravity grows. However, this is really an observation that all our clocks are slowing down under those conditions. To our minds, even we are clocks.
The theory describes the relative slowing of physical event sequences. We interpret this slowing as the slowing of time. The slowing physical events and the warping space are real. The time is not.
Space-time is an invented tool like an imaginary number is in mathematics. The tool helps us understand…
