Time cannot be created/emergent

[bahman]

Time is fundamental variable of any dynamical theory. This means that time cannot be an emergent property of a dynamical theory since otherwise it has to be emergent property and fundamental variable of the theory at the same time.

[QuantumT]

A universe is defined by matter, energy and movement. Time is the concept that breaks down changes in those to moments. Time starts when the first change occurs. Time can only exist in a universe with change.

If our universe is not unique, time is older than our universe.

The main point in this argument is that time cannot be created or be emergent. I would be glad to elaborate if I know where you lack understanding.

You see time as a human construct, right? It only exists in our minds.
Relativity disagrees.
Me? I'm open for suggestions, so please elaborate

Time is real. I have an argument for that that I post it in this thread

Relativity disagrees.

It is matter of fact that you cannot have change/motion without time (as it is discussed in another thread). Any dynamical theory which attemts to describe reality needs time as its fundamental variable.

What I am arguing is that time cannot be created. Did you get the argument in OP?

[QuantumT]

Well, you also said it can't emerge. But I consider TBB as an emerging thing, thus time did emerge. Or what?

What is TBB?

[QuantumT]

What is TBB?

The Big Boom/Bang/Baloon. That thing that started all this shit!

You mean Big Bang? Well, if there is a dynamical theory which time is its fundamental variable then time cannot be emergent at the same time since you need time for motion.

[QuantumT]

You mean Big Bang? Well, if there is a dynamical theory which time is its fundamental variable then time cannot be emergent at the same time since you need time for motion.

So, you disagree that the big bang emerged? Elaborate please!

I am claiming that dynamical theory which explains the emergence of the big bang needs time as its fundamental variable otherwise you cannot have any change or any emergence. Time cannot be an emergent phenomena and fundamental variable in this dynamical theory.

Time, space plus any theory that describes the behaviour of objects are always in a circular relationship.
One part depends on the other - as such none of them are ultimately real. None is prior or fundamental - each one arises only when all three come together making the mental construct seem real. All three are mind made and have no existence outside of it.

I understand what you are saying but what you are saying does not resolve the problem that I am raising. You are saying that time exists at beginning and it is related to other things. I am saying that time cannot be emergent since it is needed for any dynamical theory which the theory has to eventually describe the beginning. So your argument cannot address my argument unless you claim that everything existed at beginning. That is true since for example in the case of creation you have two states of affair, God and God+creation, which they are separated by time. What I am arguing is that time in this case cannot be emergent since it is needed for the act of creation.

All three are mind made and have no existence outside of it.

I agree. Time, space and objects are part of Qualia and any theory which describes how objects are subject of motion describes the structure of Qualia.

No, I am not saying that... I say there is no time (outside of memory/projection)

I am saying that time cannot be emergent since it is needed for any dynamical theory which the theory has to eventually describe the beginning.

Every theory emerges from... thought.
Every theory that requires time to be present for it to function relies on time emerging from... thought. It simply doesn't emerge from anywhere else.

So your argument cannot address my argument unless you claim that everything existed at beginning.

I claim that all exists NOW. (aka awareness/consciousness)
Awareness "exists" only now, not in the past or the future - now is NOT in time.
Only the past and future seem to be in time (due to our belief in thought).

I agree that time is a mind dependent thing.

That is the point that I am trying to make. Time cannot be emergent. This is already discussed in OP but I elaborate again. Time cannot be an emergent property of a dynamical theory since you need time to have a dynamical theory at first place.
