RE: Coffee and Philosophy Ep. 120 Announcement

in Philosophy4 years ago

I'd love to explore the idea that time does not actually exist, starting out with the fact that the atomic measurements of time speed up in comparison the further away (or higher up they are) from the earth's surface this Ted talk does a good summary, and ultimately exploring the fact that time itself is merely a human-imposed measurement system from one predictable event to the next. It doesn't necessarily mean a certain amount of time has passed. We just divide up things into increments so we can predict things and set a schedule. It doesn't mean anything has actually happened. I'm not saying everything happens at once, necessarily. However, what I am saying that the only evidence we have that time actually has passed at all is that a few of us tend to have the same meaning of "now". Sort of like we tend to agree on the same meaning of "red" or "green".

It's a topic we've gotten into quite a few times already, but I'll bring it up and see if it takes us anywhere new.
