Time does not exist.
The past does not exist.
We live in the present.
Only the present exists.
Time does not exist.
Time fulfills all the standard scientific requirements of existing. It can be measured and quantified and it can be used in equations to make predictions which turn out to be accurate. Those equations assume it to be linear.devans99 wrote: ↑December 24th, 2018, 11:10 amBy axiom 1, I was trying to express the fact that there is nothing outside the universe to cause the universe (if you define the universe as everything).
Axiom 2 is not proven I agree, but no axioms are provable; that's why they are axioms. I think it's a pretty good axiom: ties in with everyday experience. I would even argue it ties in with Quantum Mechanics.
The Big E's (Einstein) "space-time" is a farce, correct. Especially since time does not exist.
Not a farce, time "exists" although it may not be fundamental. Maybe you were just unable to resolve the apparent contradiction between spacetime and the eternal now, so you threw spacetime out.
It was a reply to what you wrote, not an argument. Nor a populum fallacy, it was actually saying 1 or less out of 10. That's hardly popular.And your 9 out of 10 argument is a populorum fallacy. Do you know what that is?
I’ll show time has a start so it must be real (using the same axiom of cause and effect as I used for my first argument):
This is true, thus why time travel can only be to the future, ie there is no past to travel to.
Time travel.
Past events are eternally real because past events are necessary events ; if and only if you are a determinist.
Huh? Time travel happens not infrequently, if not routinely.
