Time is always relative to everything. Time does in reality not exist. There is only space. Time is how we perceive velocities relative to each other.

Time exists as much as space does, considering the one can be transposed with the other... at least in theory.

Hmm, interesting, I'll have to think on it more. Can motion exist if there is no time? Even if it doesn't exist as a "thing", it certainly exists as a measure. But I'm still thinking time and space are but different manifestations of a same "thing", much like matter and energy are.

In short... that is, very short think about motion a lot, it is very important. Time is an awareness of incompletnesses of space due to the incompleteness of your mind, it is the awareness of movement, and motion is one of the underlying essences.

time IS the perceiver ... if one sees this, what then is movement?

Time is additive incompleteness due to the incompleteness of the perciever.

Time is the perciever.... wellll ok, it is in a sense. I would say that even though I (unlike some others) don't consider clock time any more universally absolute than daydreaming time, I'm not so sure I would take that leap, but in a way...

The concept of time is a way for humans to explain what they are observing and experiencing through their senses in a kinetic universe. It says more about our limitations and brains/minds than what is really going on out there.

I just hope that I can one day move my mind fast enough to make time infinite...
