Time - Does it Exist?

What is time?

Is it real?

Can it be seen?

Can it be felt?

Can it be explained?

Does it even exist?

If I was in the United Kingdom and it was 8:00pm

and I called someone who was in California

it would be Mid-day there

does that technically mean that my conversation would be travelling through time

or that one of us had gone back in time?

Or what if I flew over there, on a flight that took 5 hours

I would leave at 8:00pm and arrive at 5:00pm the same day

but I havn't gone through time, have I?

and when you come to think about it

everything depends on time

isn't it a scary thought

that our planet is dependant...

on the non existing time

I know it sounds like a ramble was just something I put down in my GCSE in Religious Studies last year. The piece got a B which is a lot more than it deserved and it just popped into my head reading someone elses work.

Hello!

I do agree that you should expand on this slightly. I found it very interesting as it is and it definatly made me think, but I also think that expanding on the ideas that you have written would make it even more interesting. I would keep a similar format, though, I thought that worked well. Let me know if you do decide to expand it because I would like to read it!

It's good for something random that pops into your mind on impulse - lots better than mine!
But I gotta agree, it's too short. Make me think, though. Weird, isn't it? How time is different everywhere.. And every moment we live, another second goes by. Nice one.

It was interesting but..... It was toooooooooooo short for me. The only reason it looks to long is because you made huge space. But still you had a good point and a idea.

This was an interesting read.
I'm glad you let me know you were posting it.
I enjoyed reading it!

I like thinking about weird things. Water is another thing, besides time, that I always think about inside my head.

Thanks
