How time does change?

How does science work? And what's all this about quantum mechanics?

Could you please follow my discussion with henry quirk. Time, as I explained, is necessary for change. I also argue that time is subject to changes. We are not living in a timeless universe when everything is simultaneous. The only other option than timeless universe is the temporal universe, our universe for example.
No, not necessarily. You might as well say that change is necessary for time, as time is necessary for change.
I can experience time when there is no change.
No you cannot.
Your body is in constant change, and so is the world all around you.

I have an argument for "time changes". Events are synced but they are not simultaneous since we experience changes. I think that is evident. This means that we are living in a temporal universe where events happens in a specific direction, the direction of change of time, past now and future. I argue that for any change you need time. We experience changes. Therefore, time exists and changes.
Like I said:

Repeating the fallacy gets you no points.

I didn't say that the nature of time doesn't change.

I am providing my reason which is based on facts, consistent observations.

That is not true. We know that change exists. That means that events occur on different stances of time. [NON SEQUITUR]Therefore, our universe is temporal.
In an instant all is simultaneous, by definition.
You contradict yourself here. Above you say that you can experience time without change.
Sculptor wrote: Thu Sep 19, 2019 12:18 pm That much is obvious, but time moves on and empowers movement of matter. But for any given moment everything is in fact simultaneous. Things cannot exist in different times, when at rest.
We are living in a temporal universe.
Nothing I say denies that

True.

Without psychological time we cannot even have a sense of motion/changes.
tautology

So what? This is not relevant.

It is very relevant. Time is need for any change whether the subject of change is internal/subjective/psycological or external/objective/physical.

Yes, objective time is important for things that happen outside your mind.
Since humans exist in the same universe, we are all in objective time, including our "mind" whatever that might be.
True.

I will try to help you to understand my thoughts.
Not unless you address the numerous problems with them.

You need to look at the solutions to Zeno's arrow and his apparent time paradoxes. This has all been done before. - and solved
Ok, I hope things are more clear now.
Have you looked at Zeno's arrow paradox?

If you agree then we are dealing with a regress, time needed for any change and time changes.

Sure. I know what is he missing. He doesn't consider the fact that the time for moving a smaller interval is also smaller.

Don't be stupid. There is never a time with no change.
If you are going to be silly. I'm not going to read the rest of your stuff.
