Time
If time extends infinitely into the future and infinitely into the past, that means there is neither a beginning or an end. It is a state of pure nothingness. We are not going anywhere; not getting any closer to the end, nor are we getting further from the beginning. Neither a starting or ending point exist, which means there is no middle. Just as a line can only stretch between two points, also known as a beginning and an end. This means we are stuck in the present moment for eternity. But in relation to an infinite amount of time, what is year? The answer is unattainable, because the two are not relative. This means that time is not passing, because time does not exist.

So from here I ask what is evolution, or any change at all, and what causes people to grow and die? Or if someone has another interpretation of what "time" is.... I would love to hear it.

Isn't a post showing that Ryan inserts himself into some dead physicist somehow critical and should - over time (to stay on topic) - be discussed by the mods?

IF ">" is not te be meant "insertion", then you promote the existence of an order and a sorting criterion on human beings as such, not accepting the fact that each individuum is equally valuable. That would be quite fascist, wouldn't it?

2 contributions, just to keep the nonsense-level at acceptable numbers.

Have a look at this: Theory of relativity
There's no thing like "time". It's more like every coordinate having an own instance. We aren't living in 3 dimensions. ;o)

Then I'd travel with light speed while wearing the clock and having the one who made it piggy-back just to show him that the clock isn't working and that i'd like my money back.
