Time existed when I was a kid--my parents had a subscription for a while. But I don't know if it is still published apart from picking their "Person of the Year."

Days, seasons, years, aging, all happen without a clock or calendar. Yes, time exists.

It’s the differential between the frequency of consciousness and the frequency of the level of reality being viewed.

When the two approach the same frequency, time stands still.

And then it’s time to tune into a new reality, like Heaven.

I have a son who doesn’t seem to know time exists.

This kind of stupidity is what I expect from a mouth-breather who published a piece entitled Biden’s pivot to science is welcome — Trump only listened to experts when it suited him.

Resemblance?

It’s just future turning into the past.

I remember when I was a kid I tried to explain to my Dad that if I left Earth on a ship and came back Earth years later, you wouldn’t be able to tell how old I was. He scratched his head and gave me a weird look!

Yeah, time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is
You’re searching for good times
But just wait and see

Time has come today
Young hearts can go their way
Can’t put it off another day
I don’t care what others say
They say we don’t listen anyway
Time has come today

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say

Time may very well be a human intervention that’s somewhat arbitrary, but indispensable for so many of our human-based activities. Clearly, even in physics, there is the concept of progression, with one event happening before or after another event.

The most interesting thing is the graphic with the clockface. I can’t figure out how they created it.

Time is just a measure of entropy(disorder). Time ‘moves’ in the direction of increasing entropy and since entropy moves in only one direction (increase) time also moves in one direction — to the future. If the whole universe, every single molecule, came to a standstill time would have no meaning.

Your wife who passed many years ago will arrive at the same time as you do.

Not likely.

If your wife isn't late, the universe is out-of-balance.

Time is a function in this created physical world with spinning planets and such, but God transcends this world and its functions. Every now and then scientists, physicists, mathematicians, etc. catch a glimpse of His eternal, transcendent nature. It’s fascinating how limited we are by comparison.

Time is the period from now until maximum entropy is reached.
