If we don't know anything about time, does time exist?

Time is an extra variable to calculate the value of energy, but for the movement of the object, it doesn't get involved at all. The object moves quite...

That sounds unclear, and meaningless. I can push my book here on the desk without knowing anything about time, and it moves. If I measured time it too...

Where did time come from then?

It sounds like a claim of appeal to the equation in high school physics. Do you claim that time was given down by God to humanity?

Please read above.

Think this way. Do you mean that before time was invented, the stones never fell from the high cliff down the river?

But whether you bring in time or not, the object still moves by the force.

Are you saying that if you don't measure time, the force and energy doesn't exist?

You seem to be talking about some high school physics stuff. But here we were talking about why the objects move. Not how long it takes to move.

Do you even read the posts when you reply to them?

We were talking about why the object move. Not how long it takes to move. Again, you are talking about wrong things here.

The universe will keep on working as it has been, but human civilization would be much different from now. Once upon a time, long time ago, the caveme...

If you drop a stone from the top floor of 10m high building, the stone will fall onto the ground even if no one measured how long it took for the ston...

We are close on our view of time here. My reasoning was telling me that time is a general concept or set which contains (placeholder) for all the temp...

When you pour coffee into a cup, is it cup or space in the cup which holds coffee? If there were no space in the cup, coffee won't be contained in the...

:ok: Interesting. Need to read some Meinong for me to be able to further comment on the point. Many thanks for your replies.

I agree with this idea. So, is existence a property of object, or entity with mass? Or both? If we agree that existence implies the both, then in the ...

Haven't read Meinong, but if it is his idea, then I agree. Properties can be assigned to nonexistent objects such as Santa, God and time.

If it is philosophical derailing with good arguments, then fair enough.

Can there be existence of properties where there is absence of object? For instance, time?

A good article on Temporal Logic on Wiki. SEP Article on Temporal Logic by Valentine Goranko.

Was there always past? Does it mean without past there is no present? Or is it rather without present, there is no past? Was there ever the first pres...

I see. Totally forgot about your recent resignation.

Problem with past is that it is in our memory and archives. Events in the past are no longer accessible at present, unless they are the objects with c...

Apologies for all the off-topic postings here. Never an intention of mine, but the two folks with emotional problems. As soon as they appeared, I kind...

OK, will do. cheers.

I was just giving you advice not to go that path, that you often wandered into. But you two have taken the advice in emotional way.

Many other people here noticed and suffered from your antics, and the OP derailing attempts and complained about them many times too.

You two are just here to derail the OP keep posting off-topic rubbish as usual. Not good.

Read your own postings too. You are not just unfair, but also dangerous and harmful in making up and spreading emotionally fueled disinformation to th...

Read your postings. It's a fact. You are still in delusion. It is not me who is sinking.

Well that's your twisted and deluded view. No one will take your postings seriously apart from Banno, and anyone would have guessed why by now.

But you don't even know what assumption by contradiction in the introduction to Logic textbook means. Plus you don't even know how OPs usually starts....

Well, if you care to read Banno's postings, he just proved himself as the official fool. I was right. And as predicted you are just his spokesman, as ...

You kept attacking the OP because it started with an assumption by contradiction. Moreover, you don't even know in what form OPs usually start either....

Disappointed at your level of knowledge on logic. You don't even understand what proof and assumption via contradiction in logical reasonings mean. Th...

I take that as your self-confession. :rofl:

I am just trying to help you understand the points.

If you did read a good basic logic textbook, then you would have known that contradiction is necessary in some cases of logical reasonings. If I contr...

You seem to have problem of understanding under what form OP comes in general. They come in the form of suggestion and assumption for further discussi...

That sounds not far from my idea on time too. But a fictitious placeholder sounds a bit unclear. Why "fictitious"? What do you mean by "fictitious"? W...

You don't hold back your unfounded critiques to others, but you are not prepared to accept others' critiques on you. That is an irrational attitude. M...

The case of the high calibre politicians involved in accepting bribes seems to be viewed differently from country to country. For example in countries...

Perceptions require external objects, and the state of consciousness. Imaginations can happen with no external objects in the real world. When imagina...

I think I said it before, but will say again. It is difficult to understand from physics or math point of view. All they have is numbers and measureme...

Well, I have been trying to help you understand, but the progress seems to be slow and challenging.

Change is from the original state to a new state. You don't say car moving is change. Car moving is driving or travelling.

Change happens in a contradictory moment. The contradictory moment where forward driving force or energy on the mass (the stone or steel pipe), and th...

I agree. This is interesting. What could that "some separate, ineffable, metaphysical entity" be? We need more elaboration on this.
