What Is Time?

Oddly enough, a strange but simple on the surface quantum theory can contribute to the Biblical idea of time.

This is the idea that time and space are the same thing, sort of, called time-space. One does not exist without the other. You change one, you change the other.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yes we live on a time continuum. There is a beginning and an end. God lives outside that continuum.

It is a method of describing the movement of a system from a state of higher energy to a state of lower energy.

looks like we’re out of time. Congresswoman Kotex says we have 12 years.

[dfwgator]

So tonight I’m gonna party like it’s 2031!

[Do the math]

I have been working on the field equations of time for over 30 years. I've learned a lot, but I'm still mystified by time. I wish I was as smart as Einstein, alas I'm only smart enough to understand how stupid I am.

I know she worked with Feynman and Hawking on Unified Field Theory, so she would know.

[Mrs. Don-o]

You betcha!

[freefdny]

Don’t blink.

[boatbums]

Time is an island in the sea of God's eternity.

[wally_bert]

Blink and you’re dead!

[SamAdams76]

It took a long time to develop all the artifacts that surround us today

Nicely stated.

This is in part the basis for science-fiction novel I am writing.

[YogicCowboy]

In Hebrew, I Am shares the same root letters as the infinitive, To Be. It is for that reason that spoken Hebrew omits the various tenses of the verb, for fear of accidentally speaking the name of God in vain.

One thus would say, I Mrs. Don-o, not, I am Mrs. Don-o; the verb is implicitly understood.

The name of God means I Was, Am, and Will Be, simultaneously.

[NorseWood]

There were cultures in the South Pacific that had no concept of time. The idea of the past or future did not exist to them. Everything was just “now”.

[VermiciousKnid]

Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Amen. Amen to His Glory! He Who is, and was, and is to come.

[Steve Schulin]

The way I put it is: Time is God’s gift to us, to keep everything from happening at once
