I recently read a study about time.The article stated that time can only go foward.If thats the case then what are memories. And are our Brains just synaptic storage areas from which we gather information to act upon our present situation.Or is it a events recorder.

Time’s a keeper.

Time is the forward progression along a dimensional axis.

Scientists that attempt to redefine time, are in effect, fudging their data.

Time? Time, y'say? Well, there was this time I was off dragging some fresh roadkill over into the ditch - it was hunting season and I didn't want to use my tag on a runty little doe with her guts spread out all over the shoulder of the road, and Lord knows how long she'd been there so the meat was probably spoiled too. Up pops a leprechaun. Now, I'm not sure what a leprechaun was doing in northern Idaho that time of year, but I put an armlock on the little sumbitch and made him promise to give me his crock of gold. He disappeared on me and I didn't think any more of it, and by the time I got the doe into the ditch Fish and Game was on me like ugly on a ape. "Did you kill that doe, Drill?" they ask me. "Nossir," sez I, kicking the last little hoof under the water. "What doe?" "That venison submarine with the imprint of your grill on its side. Unless the little bugger has a tattoo reading "DROF" you're in big trouble, mister." So anyway we used my winch to beach the carcass and sure enough there was "DROF" on its side and my license plate in reverse too. And a little lower was the imprint of my bumper sticker "cilbupeR eerF oT etanoD" so I knowed I was screwed. Just then the leprechaun popped back up with a crock under his arm. The Fish and Game folks were writing me a ticket and they don't see him so maybe it was that Sterno I was drinking and not a real leprechaun at all, but he says to me, he sez "Here's yer crock, ye miserable black-hearted bastidge," and he hands it to me and disappears. I looked inside and it wasn't gold at all, it was a crock of...oh, wait. That's what this story is. Never mind.

Is it time, yet?

Scientists that attempt to redefine time, are in effect, fudging their data.

As a simplified example:

Assume that I predicted the stock market value for a company would double in 20 years. Instead, it actually doubled in 21 years.

As a rather stupid scientist, I could justify that my original stock market prediction was absolutely correct, if time became a variable. Somehow, time had expanded from 20 years into 21 years.

In reality, my prediction and basic theory was in error, and attempting to adjust time to fit the data, would be a fraud.

"There is no time. There is only now.[" ]

Unbelievable!

I was gonna say the same thing.

There is only a constant present.

I await an explanation of the meaning of 'was gonna say', baubau...

[bannie]

It depends on what your meaning of "is" is.
