what i'm saying is that 'time' is something man invented. gravity, magnetism, etc. are physical phenoma that already existed before man measured and defined them. 'time' is an abstract notion man created himself. the comparison with love was not that clear, sorry for that..
what i mean is that phisically it is not possible to travel through time. you can't go back ten years and meet your younger self. that's because it isn't a physical phenomenon, the universe's existance is not based on the notion 'time'. |
Um, no, you're totally wrong about this. Time is not an abstract notion invented by men, time does exist and time is a physical phenomenon. Unlike magnetism or gravity which are forces, time is a dimension. Not quite the same as other 3 dimensions, as is quite obvious, but a dimension nevertheless. Let's assume a universe with (x,y,z,t) coordinates, the first 3 being spatial coordinates, while the last one being a temporal coordinate. Now put two objects in that universe, one with coordinates (x1,y1,z1,t1) and the other one with coordinates (x1,y1,z1,t2). If time was non existant, those two objects would overlap. Now make a little experiment. Put an apple in your hand. Then drop it and put an orange in your hand. Do apple and orange overlap? My guess is no. Yet they had exactly the same spatial coordinates, while the temporal coordinate was different. Therefore time is an existand dimension, as two objects with same spatial coordinates and a different temporal coordinate do not overlap. There, I hope that explained the obvious.
We are all traveling through time, only we don't have any impact on the direction of the travel. We can, however, have a mild impact on the speed of that travel.
