And isn't frequency just another way of measuring time? :wink:

The entire concept of frequency makes no sense whatsoever without time.

I think there's only present, now. The perception of time seems like it would just be an illusion, because we retain information and store it as memory and our ability to reference it later on, as if it happened in the "past" but if we had no way to retain info, the past simply wouldn't exist?

it seems to me more that the presence of a sun that goes up and down at regular intervals gave birth to the notion that time lies outside our bodies.

example:

caveman on mushrooms: "Wow, after eating mushrooms, It seemed like only a short time has passed to me, but the sun has already gone down. Hmmm... I guess the flow of time is independent of my perception and thus must be measured objectively."

You say it like it's a bad thing.

I've always thought the human ability to externalize and make physical/tangible our internal concepts is our greatest gift.

Think of what you're saying...intervals require time to exist. The fact that the sun does come up and go down at such exact intervals (of time) means "time" of some type exists.

I say of some type because the exact nature of time - is it discrete or continuous, for example - is still up in the air. That time exists, and probably exists as a "dimension*" of this universe, cannot be debated. At least for as long as the universe continues to behave as it does :wink:


* we actually have no idea what the three familiar dimensions are...we know they exist, and know some properties of them, just not what they are.

Once again, think of what you're saying. If clocks are "machines that move at a set interval", then what interval are you speaking of? An interval of time perhaps :wink:

Something I think it would be good to realize is the difference between our measurements of a thing, and the actual thing itself.

Our measurements are more or less randomly chosen (at least old measurements) by us. They are made up constructs of humans. Thus when I measure out a meter, I am using a piece of stick that someone made marks on.

What I'm measuring is something that is not made by humans. I may use a meter stick to make the measurement, but what I'm actually measuring is "length" (or width, height). It's something that exists independently of humans.
