Do you experience time when there is no change?

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

Do you experience time when there is no change?

Post by bahman »

Sculptor believes that there is no experience of time when there is no change. If it is so then why waiting is so bothersome? Obviously, there should be no waiting if there is no passage of psychological time.

if there is no change in the nursery, you'll experience something else...

time is measurable change

I'm still thinkin' on this, but...

"Sculptor believes that there is no experience of time when there is no change. If it is so then why waiting is so bothersome? Obviously, there should be no waiting if there is no passage of psychological time."

Waitin' is bothersome to us cuz we're physical and in constant flux (change). The brain (which seems to be the locus of the individual) is not static. It, the brain, the individual, is constantly processing information. There's an on-going, coherent electrical storm between his ears all the time.

Thing to remember: we are as much 'in' the universe as that lonely lil radioactive particle I introduced to a vacant universe up-thread (I mean, 'in another thread'). We can measure change, sure, but we can also 'be' measured. Change happens to us therefore time happens to us.

The answer to topic question is no.

That would be a question that only YOU could answer. So, Why do YOU get bothersome when YOU are 'waiting' for some thing?

Is there 'waiting'? Or, is 'waiting' only psychological?

Since you were born, have you been 'waiting', for death?

If no, then why not?

And, what else is it then that you have actually been 'waiting' for exactly?

Also, there is no actual thing as 'time', let alone a 'psychological time'. But there is obviously a constant change occurring ALWAYS.

If there was no change, then there would not be anything to observe, obviously, including any perception of what is known generally as "time", itself.

The name 'time' is just a human being made up label, which is used when referencing between two points in the one constantly changing event called Existence.

True. The brain is in constant work. It creates shapes and psychological time. The only time that we don't experience psychological time is when we are under anesthesia.

That is how we measure passage of time.

So you agree with the concept of psychological time?

Waiting is something real. We know what is short, long waiting is. This means that we experience something that makes waiting meaningful to us. That thing is psychological time. What could be otherwise?

Waiting is referring to the time that we wait that something happens.

Yes. I am waiting for my death.

Waiting in the doctor office, behind a traffic light, etc.

Have you ever been in the state of anesthesia? If yes, then you understand what psychological time is.

Actually that is a good question I never even thought of...

The answer I would have to give is yes and no.

Yes in the respect if I see something "still", such as a tree, what I am observing is a summation of infinite movements that tree is composed of...that tree is it's own time zone. The same occurs for a sphere, I am observing an infinite set of circles existing through circles. I am observing "infinite" movements as "indefinite" or "no movement"...so yes I am observing "time itself."

The "no" would be where there are multiple "still" images in succession. You are always observing a summation of time in an indefinite state through each image, but the inversion of one image to another image always shows time as being composed of timelessness. Time is an approximation of one form through many forms, but the form in itself is empty. So yes you can experience time in a change less state, but no you are not subject to it.

if there is no time when there is no change, paying the exact amount would prevent aging...

You can NOT observe no change. If you say you can observe or see "still", then besides the fact that you are not really observing and seeing ALL-THERE-IS, the fact is you just observing and seeing, means there IS change. If you can observe and see there there IS change.

There are NO multiple still images also. There IS, however, a constant continuum of change, which is what is being observed and can be seen.

There is NO such thing as 'time', so 'time' can not be observed. But what is observed and can be seen is change, and it is this change, itself, which is just referenced as 'time'.

What is observed and experienced is change only. So, only when change is experienced, so to is the referential framework commonly called "time' is also.

Change is multiple still images, a still image is compose of multiple still images as a context.

Time and movement is a question of context and all contexts are simultaneously one (static (still may not be the right word)) and many.

You can argue for a constant continuum of change, but we observe this one continuum through many continuums. A basic line composed of other lines (or line segments according to the continually changing axioms of math).

Contexts are variables with all contexts as variable being equivocable by nature. The fallacy of equivocation does not exists except as a self contradicting loop in aristotelian identity properties (which are contradictory by nature due to there divisive atomism or emphasis on "manyness" that is the grounding for anaylticism).

If that is how it is for you, then so be it. But that is not how it is for I.

I observe constant-changing, and f you observe still images, then that is how it is.

Who do you propose is this 'we'?. I do NOT observe what you say 'we' do.

You can speak for 'you' and I can speak for 'I'. But you can not speak for 'we' and be right all the time. And I do not speak for 'we' at any time anyway.

I am just expressing the views I have.

I do not observe many different, separate continuums, like you do. I see One continuum.

So this "I" you observe is never changing? All the words you wrote always having changing meanings and are never static or one pointed in nature?

I am so glad you see one continuum and are expressing it through many different continuous sentences....

Any motion causes change but it cannot happen without time
Only when there is no motion anywhere can there be no time

The word change is very general while the word time is more specific and so in that respect it is a better one
Time is simply a specific point or the distance between two or more points within the spectrum of Existence

Everything occurs within the eternal Now which is within the spectrum of Existence
Nothing within the eternal Now is ever truly still because everything within it is in a constant state of motion
A still image may appear so to the very limited human perspective but it is moving just like everything else is
