Time has puzzled scientists for many decades. Does it meaningfully exist apart from our experience of it as everything moves toward the disintegration of entropy along its irrefutable arrow? You can’t put the “spilled milk” of the weirdness of time back in the jug. In new research published in the American Physical Society's peer-reviewed journal Physical Review A, scientists from Italy (led by Alessandro Coppo) try to translate one theory of time into real life—or, at least, closer to it. The theory is called Page and Wootters mechanism, and Coppo has studied it for years. It’s a quantum mechanics idea that dates back to 1983.

Time is entirely a creation of the human mind. In the real world there is only matter and space.
You beat me to it.
Yep.
But it’s on your side.
“Time May Actually Be One Big Illusion”
I did not get that impression from the article.
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Pink Floyd “Time”
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
Whatever time is, its effects are easy to spot and are not an illusion.
Yup.
Bingo...
Like you know The Thing.
Imagine every particle and wave being at some particular location at some particular moment. (Quantum Mechanics says we cannot predict or “know” such things at the quantum scale, only come up with probabilities).
Imagine a situation wherein every particle and wave ceased to move, at all.
There would be no “time”.
But in the cosmos we live in, there is movement. Time is just the perception of the constant changes of position.
Technically, yes.
The youthful you still exists in its own time........
“Whatever time is, its effects are easy to spot and are not an illusion.”
It’s certainly not hard to spot when it’s full of Fake News.
Does anyone really know what time it is?......
Timeless Ping.......
Time flies like an arrow- Fruit flies like a banana
In the time it took me to read through that- i am 10 minutes older now, and no closer to an explanation of time
Does anyone really care?
A bunch of weirdo naval-starers. They can tell you everything you ever wanted to know about this, but probably have an extremely difficult time living in tue real world.
Time is just part of the bars on our cage.
