Do you experience time when there is no change?

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

No.

I KNOW you assume everything.
Prove it.
YOUR WORDS, say so.

Have you been lying to us when you said that you assume everything?
Do you know this? Or are you assuming your senses are correct?

I am just asking you a question, which it appears that you can not or do not want to answer. Just like the many other ones you can not or do not answer.

Did you say that every thing is assumed?

If yes, then you assume every thing.

If no, then what do you say?

What is your whole argument about every thing is assumed based upon and around if you are NOT assuming every thing, then your whole argument and BELIEF is a complete contradiction in and of itself.

Any motion causes change but it cannot happen without time
Motion is a sort of change. That is true that any change cannot take place without time.

Have you ever experienced waiting? You wouldn't say that if you ever did so.

surreptitious57, Age, bahman & gaffo,

You’ve contributed a number of interesting remarks to the discussion about time.

To my way of thinking, time is imaginary. Time is a construct created by humans in order to comprehend change. I say this because there’s no reason that more than one change can’t happen together.

Suppose, for argument’s sake, that I speak just one syllable. A sound emanates from my vocal chords while air makes the chords vibrate and the tongue, lips and facial muscles are configured in a specific arrangement together with some molecules of oxygen being taken up by my lungs and some amount of blood being pushed by a heartbeat, just to name a few of the changes that can take place simultaneously.

And I know that unless there’s a limit to the number of changes that can occur together, all change could happen at once. Surely if, say, a lot of changes, or all change, happened at once, the experience would be confusing or incomprehensible to humans.

I believe change must be split into manageable sequences in order for us to understand our experiences. If we could not create time, our experiences would be chaos.

motion of atoms above needed for your voice to carry,

so time is motion literally.

no motion no time.

So, to you, there is absolutely no distinction between 'time' and 'motion', correct?

If yes, then, to you, are they the exact same thing?

Motion, or change, is interdependent with time. When I speak of one, I speak of the other.

Are they 2 words for the same thing, identical? I don’t know, but I am inclined to think so.

Time is an entity that allows change to occur. Time has to exist exactly because of the fact that two and more states cannot coexist together.

IF 'time' is some 'entity', which allows some thing to occur, then what IS that 'entity' exactly?

LOL

The word used when describing the measuring of things, which is just the word 'time', does NOT have to exist BECAUSE two and more, so called, "states" did NOT exist together BEFORE 'you', human beings, started measuring change, itself, and so introduced the word 'time' to describe just this measuring process.

When you STOP believing things like "time HAS TO EXIST", then I could explain to you FULLY in very simple and easy to understand terms just HOW 'time' does NOT necessarily "HAVE TO EXIST".

Until then that is absolutely NO purpose in me really saying any thing in regards to 'time'. This is because you have ALREADY decided what the truth is, correct?

You can KEEP INSISTING 'time' is some actually thing BUT if you NEVER tell us what that thing actually IS, then REALLY what are you saying exactly?

If yes, then okay.

If no, then what are you 'trying to' say?

How about you first TELL US what exactly is 'time', and then proceed from there?

If you can NOT explain what 'time' IS exactly, then that say more about what 'time' is NOT.

Also, and by the way, you somehow mixed what I have said and mis/quoted that to that one known as "commonsense", so I fixed this up.

Time is a fundamental entity with the following properties: It exists at an infinitesimal interval so-called now, It changes, it allows change to occurs.

What we experience on a clock is motion in two states of affair. A system simply changes. Time, however, cannot be measured by any instrument since there is no way that an instrument can interact with time.
