The purpose is to make the viewers think about it by creating interest in them. It's obvious that we still dont know how and why time originated or for that matter we dont know anything except that time is moving forward.
Ams11121 the freakiest thing I happened, I went to 10:00 and waited for 10:06 and as soon as it turned to 6 the video buffered for 10 or so seconds 😂 creepy though
Time is a measurement. It's not necessarily something that "passes" that's just how we perceive it because that's how we measure it. All we know is that things change. We measure the relationship of change between objects as time. For example, the earth changes its position relative to the sun. We measure this change in position and call one full revolution a year. The earth also rotates on its axis. We measure this rotation and call one full rotation a day. That's not to say time doesn't exist. It just exists because change exists. In order to stop time, things would need to stop changing. To move forward in time, you would need to change slower than you currently do relative to everything else that changes around you. In order to move backward in time, you would either have to reverse the change that occurs within you or everything else would need to reverse relative to you while you continued changing as normal. And good luck with that you buncha crazies. ...at least that's how I see it.
There's no reason to change something that doesn't exist. Why try to change something that doesn't exist? It's delusional. We as a community/society if you will, are so persistent on seeing our agreements as something static that we have become to scared to let go of them. Existentialy we are like snails, habitual creatures to afraid to change, to afraid to be with the change, be of the formless ever changing moment. There simply is no linear time, all there is is now. A long drawn-out single now. In every moment that you have an experience (which is all the time btw) you are quite literally experiencing an alternate reality in which everything has changed from the previous reality. The assumption then becomes that things change within the same consistent linear reality, which is not true. It's not that there is one consistent reality in which your molecules move around independently. Every little change is a complete change, a complete shift of the total universe. You change world's every nano second. One way to imagine this is to use analogy of a movie. You know that a movie consists of frames of images, and each frame is its own complete 100% reality. One frame has no structural relationship whatsoever to the next frame, even though they look very much alike. You could cut the reel of film, take one frame to China and one in a rocket and send it to the moon. The two frames have no relationship to each other whatsoever, even though they look similar. It's up to the observer to create the sense of linearity or "time" based on the image, And the next one, and next. You could potentially stack the images ontop of each other, this is how I imagine we as a species traveling in time/space. But we will have to collectively raise the collective roof of consciousness first.
Mashbox Car And you think youre intellectually superior because you learned about this theory earlier? ? that's what distinguishes you from other people? calling people retarded on the internet? what a miserable creature you are... I am truly sorry for your mother
MOISTURE GOD *pops up from the lower corner of the screen "think about it like this. If there was no.. time.. it would be every time.. everywhere... and at the same time you would be able to be everywhere but at the same time... nowhere
What would it even mean to "travel through time"? Since time is much more accurately (possibly the only accurate metric) described as the contemporary state of entropy. If you were to reverse the flow of entropy somehow, wouldn't you simply return the universe to a different arbitrarily chosen state of less entropy, where you have no idea that anything has happened, because the system has yet to decay to the point where the 'flow' was 'altered'? It seems like time might be constantly changing directions, imagine an ocean tide for imaginative effect, but since it would be fundamentally 'swaying' entropy, we could never perceive the swaying, because we perceive as time, is simply the furtherance of disorder. At any given state of entropy, a sentient agent experiences a... "thing"... And shifting the direction of entropy should mean nothing to how we currently perceive the state of order in the universe.
hossrex traveling into a different gravity field, either you would have aged a lot or less than normal, and the earth would still be the same of course, so if you wanted and it was possible for us, you could be 20, travel to some place, and come back, be either 20- 21 or 23 (could be much more than 23) and the earth could have only passed 2 years into the future (as an example)
U sir write such things which crack interviews... In life I discovered there are people who can sell a chicken as a dinosaur by just confusing the other person. It goes above the understanding of 95% of the population... But who cares... It sounds legitimate. :)
The easiest way to explain time is: time is movement perceived by beings. Things are moving from an atomic level to what we can see, and since we have memory and we're also able to imagine the future movement of things, we create the illusion of a timeline - past, present, future. Actually the whole reality just exists in the present, whereas past and future - which compose the timeline - are just inside our thoughts. Second, just a comment, you can't affirm our world is moving 'from order to disorder'. The definition of 'disorder' here is not a consensus in scientific community. Edit: complementing, things like speed or gravity may affect the way movement happens, that's why we have relativity.
Decay is supposed to happen Is only logical. Things are suppose to exist for a period of time...and as physics develop their theories that for every action is a reaction. Decay is very much part of time.
- The idea that time is also quantized into seperate distinct (here now) segments has been negated by observing photon streams from split beams from billion year quasar gravitational lenzing which showed no evidance of time segmentation down to near plank size. - Time, like the concept of volume, a manifestation of 3D space would be an unknown, but essential concept to a flatlander trying to understand 3D reality. - So we may be missing a vital conceptual component of 4 dimentional (spatial) space that our universe may be emersed in. Thus creating the enigma our 3D minds precieve as time.
Never realized "the economist" had such a hard on for space/physics/science stuff. Pretty cool. I know all the interviewies from elsewhere and they are all legit, so good job
But then doesn't entropy itself functions along the time axis? If time was just our perception of entropy, why does entropy take time at all? Why can't it happen simultaneously instead of in stages (aka along time)?
Please stop the Loan Depot ads that hammered me again and again that I endured while watching this excellent video-it was interrupted (for me) 4 times with the same Home Depot ad. Was I trapped in a time loop traveling back to the future? I learned that Loan Depot ads profoundly affect my concept of time and my relationship to the universe.
How come on every video like this there are a dozen commenters shouting "Time doesn't exist!" and who think they're some kind of genius for saying that?
There are two theories of what time is, A a structure of the universe an entity that flows, that events move through. B an intellectual structure devised to sequence and measure events. My opinion would be the latter theory, reason being according to the structure of the universe theory time began at the formation of the cosmos which was a fraction of a second after the big bang occurred,how could time elapse prior to its existence. Also we see space between objects=physical we don't see time between events we sense it though it's not familiar to our five senses =intellectual. Time is real as are imperial units or the metric system for measuring the distances of events the way they measure distances of space.
Time itself doesnt "exist" on its own if there is 100% no matter there cant be time measured. its just a measurment of the current aggregate state of the matter and its ever changing nature. So actually we are in an timeless everchanging sea of matter and counting the waves happening around us. Mass and energy stay the same just the position and type of matter changes.
szebike If there is no matter, then space can't be measured either. But for some reason we never speak of space as being an "illusion." I'd never get a litany of responders all agreeing that space is meaningless, and "it's just a result of brain's perception of distance between matter's many positions".Or whatever. What makes time seem so unreal to people? It's no more real or unreal than any other concept in physics. Not to mention the irony that no one can seem to explain time away without also invoking it. I mean, you say that time is a measurement of matter's "changing nature." But how is "change" meaningful without time? Ryu Darragh above you claims that it is the way the brain perceives the "evolution" of existence. Same issue. You're both begging the question. If time is so illusionary, you would think it would be easier to eliminate it from our descriptions.
Not sure why they need to complicate time, its actually pretty simple. Time doesn't move, we move past time. Time is the 4th dimension along with height, width and depth, it is fixed. The passing of time is an illusion just like the sun rising and falling over our sky makes the sun appear to be moving (which it is, very fast). Or like the scenery whizzing past our window on a train while we appear to be standing still makes it seem like its moving past us in one direction.
Charlie Parker What baffles me is what it is that keeps us moving through time then? In order for an object to move some force is required, so what is moving us through the dimension of time?
Honestly, NObODY is certain about that at this point.....NOBODY!!! And don't let ANYONE bullshit you by pretending they actually understand something that even Experts don't truly know and are currently scrambling to figure out for themselves!!! A LOT of things in Physics and other areas of Science are nowhere near as Certain or understood as some people would have you believe!!!!
AlecPlease Well, you are not wrong that changes are based on movement of particles because there is always motion, relative changes at atomic levels. But that doesn't answer what a change essentially is. I say, a change is unity and separation combined, and separated. Think about that, doesn't this view make sense The real problem is like when we ask what it essentially is, we ask after something which has a clear picture like a particle. Actually, we should say, something is changing rather than a change, because a change is not substantially to grasp, so to say
Time only matters because we exist. We have the capacity to perceive time. If there was no living thing in the universe, then time would be irrelevant.
As Robert Lanza points out, the idea that all the time that has ever existed is stacked one piece upon the other and that we just happen to be standing on top is patently ridiculous. The chance of that happening is incredibly small. More plausible is that the past, the present and future all occur simultaneously.
I would've liked to see this explored deeper rather than just accepting that "time is what it is". Entropy is a circular explanation for time IMO. The best beginnings of an explanation in this video was the guy who suggested that space-time is a bunch of slightly different moments in which we find ourselves.
pitthepig Could you explain your reasoning? I'm willing to accept I could be wrong. But in my opinion, entropy--at least the way we think of it--is a phenomenon arising out of time.
I think that what is considered a staple of the universe is entropy, not time. So time is a consequence of entropy, but entropy is not a consequence of time. You can't stop entropy, there's not way of holding it back.
Hmm... I believe it to be the opposite. Entropy is basically the state of disorder of a system. In and of itself it's not really time based so I should be more precise here: the observation that disorder always increases IS reliant on time. On the other hand--if we look at the universe as an infinite collection of all possible configurations--then entropy and time have no direction. So one could not say that disorder increases or decreases.
This is a you tube page for the economist - a publication not noted for deep philosophical metaphysical thinking... They might do a good job telling you about the local economies in Abuja or Lagos however.
Entropy increases as time passes. If that's the case stars and planets would not form. Yes they eventually decay, but they form first, leading to more order. One of the first things I learned in Chemistry is that atoms seek the order of a complete valence shell.
Precognition has been shown to occur in experiments and in numerous dream reports. The idea that everything always goes forward in time all at once may be an overgeneralization.
Time is the the unfolding of events. It's very much real, and very much necessary for the existence of the universe. You will not convince me otherwise.
That statement is vacant new-age bullshit, just reproduction of other people's words that you regurgitate without the insight of what you're saying...you're just another inauthentic fuckin narcissistic new-age idiot and I'm fuckin sick of you people....I am just another troll, I realize that, but you....you fuckin people....you fuckin.....aaaaaagh....
Dejan Markovic hey that would be cool if you didn't tell me how I think but then again the world is filled with people like you who don't understand philosophy.. what are you like the shitty part of my brain trying to drag me back down to lower consciousness? no stay here.. be of the physical world.. don't realize your true nature.. be an animal or whatever.. it's actually funny how you pretend you're a personality having a human experience as if it's so important that everyone knows who you are, thinks all your jokes are funny and recognizes you as a very special individual. I'm sure it gets your rocks off real good.
Maathiu Ra Yin if time slows down the faster we go, this is good. It will allow us to travel further into the universe in one lifetime in the future. Whatever way we look at it, it's a head fuck.
Maathiu Ra Yin Time does not exist. It is a man made concept, an underlining abstraction to have a better view and understanding of several events. Time, physically, is understood to present the duration of an event like how long does it need (relative to a constant like the speed of light c) going from point A to B. So, time can be seen as a duration, a length (between different events). Movement means "how much of a spatial length is reached for 'a' certain time (duration) like say 1 second" in one dimensional space per (a one dimensional) time. Measurement means we "detect" a difference relative to a fixity. Lets say everything in the universe was moving in the same direction and with the same speed. Would we recognize a difference, any motion? Would we have a time? No, we wouldn't because the relative differences are what makes time to what it is to us.
- I'm so tired of hearing the obvious as if it was a profound statement of wit. When infact it leads us right back to square one. What is the fabric of time that allows for these percieved manifistations?
If an item in space moves infinitely in one direction once it has been pushed maybe the reason time moves infinitely in one direction is because it has been acted on by some force we are not familiar with?
+Rapid000 TF2 シ Interesting insight! And what is more interesting is that science detected an unknown force which has been expanding the universe for a certain time: the dark energy. Maybe other "dark forces" can emerge...who knows?
+Rapid000 TF2 シ so this is a weird question but i think it's a good one, if a guy travels in speed of light and i'm the guy who lives in earth will the guy who travels die faster than me?
+is it good to do Actually, you will die faster then the traveller because time flows more slowly near speed of light. Your question is answered by the Twin Paradox proposed by Einstein himseld
No, you cannot. You can use entropy to explain most collections of matter undergoing increasing entropy together by the basics of stochiometry but that's a probabilistic characteristic of position and velocity. It says nothing about a directionality of the underlying time in which microstates change from one state to another.
I like that thought. However, gravity appears to be a constant force in the universe. Sadly, we do not understand gravity to the extent needed to explain why it appears to be constant. Please consider reading my above response for a similar thought.
Scientists dont have a good definition of time because all yet made are redundant, it defines it as what a clock reads. The problem with your comment is there is that change is being different at different places in time.
"A calm and humble life will bring more happiness than the pursuit of success and the constant restlessness that comes with it." -Albert Einstein, 1922, in a note to a bellhop in lieu of monetary gratuity.
If 4 people of identical age (quadruplets) are each travelling in separate spaceships travelling at différent near light speed velocities towards the same star- when they all finally arrive at the same star are they the same age? Obviously the fastest arrives first, and has aged least- but has to wait for the next to arrive. When the 4th has arrived- are they all the same age?
@Oliver Butler "Obviously the fastest arrives first, and has aged least". Obviously? First of all, we need to define the POV and the reference system. Secondly, the star is also moving, so the one that is moving in the direction closer to the opposite one of the star could still arrive first even with a slower ship. Thirdly...there are too many assumptions to make your Obviously statement not obvious at all.
The fact that you think movement affects aging shows you lack a basic understanding of biology. All those people "age" irregardless of where they're traveling to or from. You make a logical fallacy of confusing cause and effect and you seem to be making an equivocation fallacy in regards to the definition of what you mean by "age(ing)". So to answer you, your reasoning is full of bullshit logic...i.e. nothing logical at all
I guess they will be the same age when all of them has arrived. Due to speed is "distance covered divided by the time you used to travel", so the only difference will be the acceleration. The first person will stop first, and when the second sibling arrives, his age would have caught up to the second sibling because he aged fastest when he stood still. When the last sibling arrives, the three other siblings reached his age in the moment the last one arrived.
There is this moment right now. Past is only an illusion because we have memory that remembers many "now" moments from "before". Future is only our expectation based on our memorized experience.
Yep, time is a social creation, part of the socio-psychological identity, and its historical point of view, which is necessary of course in real life, but theoretically unnecessary. The clocks are man made too. Time doesn't pass, things do, or we pass other things. Our position is not the right one, as there is no general time. There are only changing things, which go from one point to another according to their physical nature.
Makes sense. If we as conscious actors force things to go in "reverse" (such as by walking "backwards", lift a fallen object) they will seem to have gone backwards in time. But actually just be following the same laws of physics applied inversely to them. +Teemu M.
So if someone is moving faster than you you see him like he indeed is but in real situation he is going through time slightly faster than everything around them do he is faster. So is speed the curve of time?
Because of the motion of matter. Time is a dependent variable of motion. If all matter in the Universe was to abruptly halt, so would the passage of time -- and this would not be a coincidence, because both are one and the same.
I find the very concept of time amazingly interesting. And it too amazes me that physicists have now realized time's indeed only one part of a giant construct made of space and matter as well. It can and _is_ bend, affected by something as 'simple' as a mass of matter. Then we stumble upon the big question, the one we seem unable to elude: _Is there a God who created this enormous construct?_ And then again, most physicists will laugh it off and say, _no way, because then who created God?_ They realize we exist inside a gigantic mechanism made of space, matter, and time, which (with the right amount of power) can be manipulated, and yet they fail to understand that time's ability to be tinkered with also means it could have been (and was) engineered, created, thus rendering its Maker a timeless, non-physical, not-space dependant entity, beyond the bounds and limits of any material construct or restriction. An eternal, all-powerful, awe-inspiring God.
If you imagine the passing of time as the movement of our entire Universe in a higher dimension, we can theoretically change the direction of time by changing the direction of movement of our Universe. Although, this practically is impossible.
Spot on. If earth did not move, then there would never be time. We never stop moving in one direction, hence the arrow of time goes in one direction. Simple.
Mic_Glow interesting comment. I never thought of it that way but you’re right stuff does move toward a slower time (gravity). Not sure what this all means still if any relevance at all but glad I came across this.
Just analyze "motion". Soon you will discover the Special Relativity(SR) phenomena all by yourself. Also, you will derive all of the SR mathematical equations as well. Even a high school dropout can do it.
Because we eat horrible shit that starts decomposing before we've even finished digesting it. As it literally "rots" inside our guts, gases and bacteria are produced... And along with the gases expelled some horrible shit is bound to be expelled as well. Now you know. :o)
The message was "we know a whole lot, but we're still figuring out the answer to this specific question". The way you misinterpreted it is actually what this video made you think about yourself.
I've never been on a light speed spaceship nor have I even seen one! philosophically speeeaking I don't have time to discuss this further, I'm busy fighting my very own entropy!
So the way going backwards in time is described here is that entropy must be reversed. That being the case he's not talking about the traditional one person going back in time but that the whole universe goes back in time. How do we even know that doesn't happen? Entropy could stop and start all the time, go backward and forwards you couldn't detect it because detecting relies on entropy in itself.
Bobby Dazzler The issue with that idea is that spontaneous materializations of useful energy do not occur, at least not on a scale that we can observe. Stars do not miraculously split (fiss?) helium back into hydrogen, the ATP fueling your muscles will not suddenly return to carbohydrate form, and the electromagnetic radiation coming from your computer screen won't decidedly fail to be emitted. The universe reversing entropy, even for less than a second, would have unimaginable consequences on both a quantum and grand scale.
Both "time" and "the arrow of time" are philosophical explanations of matter-energy decaying and our conscious awareness of that decay. So why are they asking why time has a forward direction? There is no "direction" of time. If the real question they're asking is why does energy-matter decay then that to me seems like an entirely different question.
+Stevo1361 I don't know if I understand you well but I think that yes, we know why and the video answered that question. Entropy exists because the probability is there to support it. You only have one way to keep "order" and an infinite ways to decay. Which one is more likely to happen next then? That alone creates an arrow of time which goes along with entropy.
Stevo1361 I believe that, ultimately, your "real" question is: why the big bang? Decay doesn't mean anything if you don't look at it as a quality thing. The order or decay factor is just a matter of point of view. You see a deck of cards as ordered or not according to your expectations. But whatever your expectation is, you will always expect one configuration of order and any other configuration will be considered as decay. Which means that the more you go, the more things will look like loosing order/decaying. Ultimately, there is no decay, there only are things that happen. Why they happen? Because there is transfer of energy. And things will stop happening when there is no (useful) energy left to be transferred. And why there is energy to begin with? Because there was a bang and it was big. And why so? Where the initial energy comes from? No one knows. The how is almost explained but definitely not the why. I may be wrong but this is how I understand it all.
lexgotham Nice explanation, i like it. But you started with saying "decay factor is a point of view". True, that the idea of something decaying is a human concept, but the natural process of entropy is not a human concept. So i was thinking out loud, why do things become less complex. And from your reply you're saying it's due to the impossibly slow reduction in energy within the universe? Which makes logical sense so i know it must be a shitload more complex than that.
Kurt Gödel provided a model of Einstein’s equation that had the universe as a large rotating disc within which there were closed time-like world lines. This (arguably) shows that time travel is physically possible (i.e. consistent with general relativity). This puts pressure on those who believe that time-travel is logically impossible.
look at all these geniuses in the comments saying time is just an illusion ,fuck all those scientists and those years of hard work, just come down to this comment section cause people here already figured out the secrets of the universe smh
im no genius but this 'time is an illusion' seems pretty common sense to me. see, we created language to talk about things and so to control them for our survival. the problem is that we FORGET that we only created it, there is no actual time in the true reality (unamed). true, there is motion and change, but thats it. And then we wonder these silly questions, "can we go back in time? can we go to the future? can we bend the fabric of spacetime?... etc" those questions are still for our survival if you think about it, it is to control them. there is only an eternal now. -thats saying too much, but i said it just to get a point. "(philosophical) Problems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way." ~Alan Watts
The notion that we created time in our heads is hilarious. A thing exists whether we give it a name or not. Without time, you could not read this sentence. Stop being so over-the-top silly.
Yeh, He should hve left consciousness, no consciousness is needed, everything observes, experiences time, expect light. It is indeed said to be relative and the faster you go, the slower time goes for you, but actually as in the start one of the guys said, time is the happenings and I kinda like that, I mean, I know time is relative but I dont think about time like that, Theres 1994 and Its 1944 for every human on Earth and for the universe, everything is happening at the same time, We live in the same time, spacetime maybe curvatured, but, If theres an alien race somewhere and Its the present for me, You know, for me They still live in the same fckin time when I live, If We say time isnt the same everywhere thats just awkard and fckin retarded, even, If Its true.
According to relativity a photon travels a distance over time from our perspective, but to the photon there is no distance and time from its own perspective. So here is an interesting thought at least. Our perspective is more important and more real, according to our brain.
Sick Revolting Piss Energy cannot change states in an instant though. The "passage" of time must happen. However, the manner in which we perceive it is undoubtedly a product of our own minds making sense of the flow of entropy into terms that we can understand at our tiny level of existence within the cosmos.
this is the moment of time in which the world still doesn't know that i already solved this problem, with the most unexpected and craziest way u cannot imagine. they think they'll probably find it out with relativity and quantum mechanics but no, it's about solving another huge problem that has been long forgotten, it's the key to understand this universe and the key to answer this question.
The actual reason that time goes is because when we basically forget or do not expect time to go fast, time behind our back just goes fast, which I guess happens when your BRAIN is occupied, but I will say Einstein's theory is very right as well. Now if you are looking at a clock or if you are waiting for the clock to pass 5 minutes, it will feel like as if you were waiting double the amount, since your brain is focused on trying to use time, which if you are not patient, would not be a good idea Also, that explains why there is no "time," because it is just an illusion that we created like Albert Einstein said.
You understand that youre on the same exact level of understanding of the subject? youre making yourself believe that you know more about time than the guy you replying to when in reality youre both clueless.
Three questions. 1. If time slows down as you approach speed of light then light must have no time. 2. As matter decays into chaos with thermal entropy then eventually it will reach the same likeness and chaos ends. 3. worm holes cannot exist because to bend space to shortcut across space would mean space is a flat two dimensional plane, which it is not.
SamLuckOfficial well, out of universe (although out of universe doesn't exist in practice) and in absolute vacuum (although absolute vacuum doesn't exist in practice too.)
“If I go down near a black hole, for an hour, you may go forward in time by 7 years by the time I come back.” This is a wonderful clear vision of relativity with the graphics presented on screen.
If entropy increases over time, then the future is more random or more entropic then the past. If we proceed from the big bang, the instance that energy defined matter and time began was the more ordered period. As the weight of accumulated time moving forth increased entropy and no outside energy makes for greater order, then the future will become more and more random until it becomes total chaos. As I note, things get crazier every day.
blueswagman - I'm not denying the dangers of nuclear material! I'm denying the pseduo-fact that all things are made up of tiny balls. I've studied Chemistry SL and Physics HL at the International Baccalaureate, and not once were we presented with real images of any sort of atom. How is it that conventional science is a perfect reflection of Kabbalah philosophy?-This is too much of a coincidence! The atomic-bomb scare was effective and reliable during the war, obviously, but the general populace has arrogantly forgeten that history is written by the victor. Hitler warned us about this, in advance, and about so much more(...), so why turn our backs to the truth? Why turn our backs to one of the greatest messiahs to ever roam Earth? _There is no atom to split._
blueswagman - "[…] with big explosions." - At critical mass, nuclear material illuminates light. In other words, in this case, heat is produced and emitted to its surroundings at all times (regardless of mass). Authorized nuclear ractors, simply put, are merely steam plants. Anyone can build a steam engine, at home, and power it with heavy elements… These so-called 'explosions' you speak of are nothing but the outcome of _excessive_ pressure build-up. But all this, the above, is hardly proof of anything relevant.
For many people.....it already has LOL!!! And that's totally fine!!! You know, Psychadelics can be an Amazing tool when it comes to better understanding Perceptions of Time etc etc!! On those drugs, Time can *Feel* as if it is slowed down for the user relative to a sober person. At the least, it helps a person better understand the Nature of Time and the Illusory Nature of our human senses and perceptions!! BUT....ONLY when used in moderation by someone who actually cares to use it for more than just "kicks" or a weekend party!!
Time passes because if it did not then everything would be an eternal now - which is the true reality underpinning the one we see in everyday life. We would not experience change - a process essential for experience - if time did not pass. A much better question is: What IS time? However WHY does time exist at all is easy to answer.
Donovan Louis It's not that weird that you don't understand. I you really want to understand you'll probably have to read a book about the special theory of relativity. It's a concept that's hard to convey in the course of video or in a comment.
it a label made up by a bunch of so called scientist who did not understand gravity or matter to appear knowledgeable. we use to invent words when we were kids, just to impress others. here grown up children playing it. just ask any of them what is gravity, not the effect of it or structure of matter. they don't know the answer. the fact you have difficulty to understand it, it means space time is nonsense, because science simple. MG1
Neil DeGrasse explained this in one of his videos, but I cannot find it for you. But here is the example as best I can recall it: If I tell you let's meet for coffee at the corner of so and so, you'll ask when. If I say let's meet at 5pm, you'll ask where. You cannot be at no place at 5pm and you cannot go to any place at time null. That is, space and time are the coordinates of space-time (the plane). It is where you exist. mg1s seems like you have it all wrong.
I replied in science context, Space time. Meeting for coffee is artificial act. In nature you are thirsty you go find water and drink. You get urge to meet you go and find subject of your urge. It is event, one lead to other. MG1
Entropy is really the key to all of this, as mentioned by others below. When there can be no further entropy, you get another Big Bang. This has been going on forever.
First of all , we ( humans ) created time. Time is a man's invention to be able to separate what preceded it from what is happening now and what will happen. Before we invest " time " , we could see that things change and we remembered that something happened before , so we named the " before " as " past " . We know that something will happen after now , so what we did ? We named the " after " as " future " . We , always , could see that things are changing through something , like the dawn and the sunset and we said : We should name that " something " and how it behaves in our lifes , in our environment , in our everything. So , let's call it " Time " . Okay , now , how does the time behave? We will find out . And after a lot of researches , we created calendars and seconds and minutes and hours and days and etc. So we created " time " , although it exists , we gave him a name in order to make clearer the things ! So , the answer to the question " Why does time pass ?" is that we made time pass ! Before invest time , time was a ghost and could see his " actions " but not the time itself ( if you understand me ) and now we have given him a body , we see also his " actions " and him in the clocks !!
Physics Teacher : WHY ARE YOU SO LATE TO CLASS ? Me : Sir i was coming to school with speed near to light , so " i am on time " but for you the lecture is over , as time passed rapidly for you...! Physics Teacher : " Convinced...! " 🤔🤔🤔 😌 " next time please travel slowly "
A time will come when we will understand the concept of time and greater time, it is very well described in Indian scriptures as Kaal and Mahakaal. the time experienced by us is just an experience that we are having and has nothing to do with the actual time which is "greater time" that governs the movement of the plants. We experience space because there is time, beyond the time-space continuum there are other dimensions where only "greater time" is present.
But time never passed, other things passed through time, we measure with something that has constant rythm to determine time so we can use this constant value to measure other values and to help us organise
in order to travel backwards in time you have to "teleport" the arrow of time using quantum mechanics and technology meaning it will only accept one person at a time due to advancements not made yet to supply the data to render it open long enough to handle 2 or more people. we call it the "star gate".
Rafael Cepeda Just because you need a word doesn't mean you are actually refering to the real essence of the thing to which you are pointing to. People call you Rafael, but you are not a "Rafael", you are a human, which even if unique has enough common characteristics to need an extra unique denomination . Time is useful so we can relate and understand the progression of events, but this is only relevant because we take advantage of it with our powerful memory. Tardingrades live hundreds of years and they are almost a closed cycle that feeds of the "constant chaos". Unlike we that are more influenced by each different state (like night/day, hot/cold, animal or plant desertification or not) which is why we need to memorize and pick the patterns and that's where the basic unit comes in so we put some perspective to scale each event properly. The whole time is just an upmanship of this game to a cosmic level. Time is a system that should be seen in relation to our human condition and not necessarly a property of the cosmic machinery.
Question: If one were to travel back in time, wouldn't it mean that their entire body, including their brain and every single neuron and hence thoughts, were set back as well, and it is therefore possible that we have all traveled back in time countless times but will never know that we have?

Why does time pass? Answer; "We don't know." Great video.
nailed it!
The purpose is to make the viewers think about it by creating interest in them. It's obvious that we still dont know how and why time originated or for that matter we dont know anything except that time is moving forward.

Time is a measurement. It's not necessarily something that "passes" that's just how we perceive it because that's how we measure it. All we know is that things change. We measure the relationship of change between objects as time. For example, the earth changes its position relative to the sun. We measure this change in position and call one full revolution a year. The earth also rotates on its axis. We measure this rotation and call one full rotation a day.
That's not to say time doesn't exist. It just exists because change exists. In order to stop time, things would need to stop changing. To move forward in time, you would need to change slower than you currently do relative to everything else that changes around you. In order to move backward in time, you would either have to reverse the change that occurs within you or everything else would need to reverse relative to you while you continued changing as normal. And good luck with that you buncha crazies.
...at least that's how I see it.
That really doesn't make any sense at all and is rather incorrect, but it's good to have thoughts.
DJ The GameBoy makes more sense than the video
what what it makes sense. You just haven't taken the time to understand his comment
There's no reason to change something that doesn't exist. Why try to change something that doesn't exist? It's delusional. We as a community/society if you will, are so persistent on seeing our agreements as something static that we have become to scared to let go of them. Existentialy we are like snails, habitual creatures to afraid to change, to afraid to be with the change, be of the formless ever changing moment. There simply is no linear time, all there is is now.
A long drawn-out single now.
In every moment that you have an experience (which is all the time btw) you are quite literally experiencing an alternate reality in which everything has changed from the previous reality. The assumption then becomes that things change within the same consistent linear reality, which is not true. It's not that there is one consistent reality in which your molecules move around independently. Every little change is a complete change, a complete shift of the total universe. You change world's every nano second.
One way to imagine this is to use analogy of a movie. You know that a movie consists of frames of images, and each frame is its own complete 100% reality. One frame has no structural relationship whatsoever to the next frame, even though they look very much alike. You could cut the reel of film, take one frame to China and one in a rocket and send it to the moon. The two frames have no relationship to each other whatsoever, even though they look similar.
It's up to the observer to create the sense of linearity or "time" based on the image, And the next one, and next. You could potentially stack the images ontop of each other, this is how I imagine we as a species traveling in time/space. But we will have to collectively raise the collective roof of consciousness first.
DJ The GameBoy thank you! This is what I always have in mind about time.

it just was mpossible to resist lol love that intro's music
What would it even mean to "travel through time"?
Since time is much more accurately (possibly the only accurate metric) described as the contemporary state of entropy.
If you were to reverse the flow of entropy somehow, wouldn't you simply return the universe to a different arbitrarily chosen state of less entropy, where you have no idea that anything has happened, because the system has yet to decay to the point where the 'flow' was 'altered'?
It seems like time might be constantly changing directions, imagine an ocean tide for imaginative effect, but since it would be fundamentally 'swaying' entropy, we could never perceive the swaying, because we perceive as time, is simply the furtherance of disorder.
At any given state of entropy, a sentient agent experiences a... "thing"... And shifting the direction of entropy should mean nothing to how we currently perceive the state of order in the universe.
hossrex traveling into a different gravity field, either you would have aged a lot or less than normal, and the earth would still be the same of course, so if you wanted and it was possible for us, you could be 20, travel to some place, and come back, be either 20- 21 or 23 (could be much more than 23) and the earth could have only passed 2 years into the future (as an example)
RyuDarragh
I believe that's what I said. :)
RyuDarragh
Thank you for the suggestion. That sounds like a novel I would enjoy. :)
U sir write such things which crack interviews... In life I discovered there are people who can sell a chicken as a dinosaur by just confusing the other person. It goes above the understanding of 95% of the population... But who cares... It sounds legitimate. :)
Swapnil V
I wish your words weren't so true.
The easiest way to explain time is: time is movement perceived by beings. Things are moving from an atomic level to what we can see, and since we have memory and we're also able to imagine the future movement of things, we create the illusion of a timeline - past, present, future.
Actually the whole reality just exists in the present, whereas past and future - which compose the timeline - are just inside our thoughts.
Second, just a comment, you can't affirm our world is moving 'from order to disorder'. The definition of 'disorder' here is not a consensus in scientific community.
Edit: complementing, things like speed or gravity may affect the way movement happens, that's why we have relativity.
Decay is supposed to happen Is only logical. Things are suppose to exist for a period of time...and as physics develop their theories that for every action is a reaction.
Decay is very much part of time.
- The idea that time is also quantized into seperate distinct (here now) segments has been negated by observing photon streams from split beams from billion year quasar gravitational lenzing which showed no evidance of time segmentation down to near plank size.
- Time, like the concept of volume, a manifestation of 3D space would be an unknown, but essential concept to a flatlander trying to understand 3D reality.
- So we may be missing a vital conceptual component of 4 dimentional (spatial) space that our universe may be emersed in. Thus creating the enigma our 3D minds precieve as time.
Never realized "the economist" had such a hard on for space/physics/science stuff. Pretty cool. I know all the interviewies from elsewhere and they are all legit, so good job
Answer: no one knows. I don't know why it passes but I can help you save some of yours.
James Leon thank you
in my math class, why *DOESNT* time pass?
Tlactl 😂
Oh, it *does* pass, just more slowly than elsewhere. That's the relativity effect!
You are moving at the speed of light during math class
In my class why don't I pass?
Time is our perception of entropy. Everything is winding down, decaying. Time is how we perceive that process.
And yet, life itself renews itself, decreasing entropy. eternally, in the face of entropy
But then doesn't entropy itself functions along the time axis? If time was just our perception of entropy, why does entropy take time at all? Why can't it happen simultaneously instead of in stages (aka along time)?
This is true. And when that entropy reaches it end...boom, another big bang. Roger Penrose has the right idea.
Time is a clever illusion as is space.
Best description!
Please stop the Loan Depot ads that hammered me again and again that I endured while watching this excellent video-it was interrupted (for me) 4 times with the same Home Depot ad. Was I trapped in a time loop traveling back to the future? I learned that Loan Depot ads profoundly affect my concept of time and my relationship to the universe.
How come on every video like this there are a dozen commenters shouting "Time doesn't exist!" and who think they're some kind of genius for saying that?
There are two theories of what time is, A a structure of the universe an entity that flows, that events move through. B an intellectual structure devised to sequence and measure events. My opinion would be the latter theory, reason being according to the structure of the universe theory time began at the formation of the cosmos which was a fraction of a second after the big bang occurred,how could time elapse prior to its existence. Also we see space between objects=physical we don't see time between events we sense it though it's not familiar to our five senses =intellectual. Time is real as are imperial units or the metric system for measuring the distances of events the way they measure distances of space.
Because it doesn't dumbass.
***** Right back at ya.
Time itself doesnt "exist" on its own if there is 100% no matter there cant be time measured. its just a measurment of the current aggregate state of the matter and its ever changing nature. So actually we are in an timeless everchanging sea of matter and counting the waves happening around us. Mass and energy stay the same just the position and type of matter changes.
szebike If there is no matter, then space can't be measured either. But for some reason we never speak of space as being an "illusion." I'd never get a litany of responders all agreeing that space is meaningless, and "it's just a result of brain's perception of distance between matter's many positions".Or whatever. What makes time seem so unreal to people? It's no more real or unreal than any other concept in physics.
Not to mention the irony that no one can seem to explain time away without also invoking it. I mean, you say that time is a measurement of matter's "changing nature." But how is "change" meaningful without time? Ryu Darragh above you claims that it is the way the brain perceives the "evolution" of existence. Same issue. You're both begging the question. If time is so illusionary, you would think it would be easier to eliminate it from our descriptions.
Not sure why they need to complicate time, its actually pretty simple. Time doesn't move, we move past time. Time is the 4th dimension along with height, width and depth, it is fixed.
The passing of time is an illusion just like the sun rising and falling over our sky makes the sun appear to be moving (which it is, very fast). Or like the scenery whizzing past our window on a train while we appear to be standing still makes it seem like its moving past us in one direction.
Charlie Parker
What baffles me is what it is that keeps us moving through time then? In order for an object to move some force is required, so what is moving us through the dimension of time?
I'm sure gravity has a lot to do with it. All matter has a gravitational pull, and the universe contains a shit load of matter.
Charlie Parker But gravity isn't a force, it's just the curvature of spacetime, right?
wrong. google it
Honestly, NObODY is certain about that at this point.....NOBODY!!! And don't let ANYONE bullshit you by pretending they actually understand something that even Experts don't truly know and are currently scrambling to figure out for themselves!!! A LOT of things in Physics and other areas of Science are nowhere near as Certain or understood as some people would have you believe!!!!
Time is just a measurement of "change".
pandagreat Then what is a change
+nadjim73
movement of particles?
maybe
AlecPlease Well, you are not wrong that changes are based on movement of particles because there is always motion, relative changes at atomic levels. But that doesn't answer what a change essentially is.
I say, a change is unity and separation combined, and separated.
Think about that, doesn't this view make sense
The real problem is like when we ask what it essentially is, we ask after something which has a clear picture like a particle.
Actually, we should say, something is changing rather than a change, because a change is not substantially to grasp, so to say
yes its the movement of energy through space, on a much more larger scale. the more energy in one place the faster time goes and vice versa
SuperBoxyBoy without time everything would happen at once
There are many geniuses in the comment section who have their own theory about time!!!
So true! I had to lower my IQ in order to make a comment.
Time slows down for me during weekdays, runs fast on weekends
Short answer. We don't know.
But we must pretend to know.
Like Einstein.
Time only matters because we exist. We have the capacity to perceive time. If there was no living thing in the universe, then time would be irrelevant.
As Robert Lanza points out, the idea that all the time that has ever existed is stacked one piece upon the other and that we just happen to be standing on top is patently ridiculous. The chance of that happening is incredibly small. More plausible is that the past, the present and future all occur simultaneously.
I would've liked to see this explored deeper rather than just accepting that "time is what it is". Entropy is a circular explanation for time IMO. The best beginnings of an explanation in this video was the guy who suggested that space-time is a bunch of slightly different moments in which we find ourselves.
entropy has nothing of circular
pitthepig Could you explain your reasoning? I'm willing to accept I could be wrong. But in my opinion, entropy--at least the way we think of it--is a phenomenon arising out of time.
I think that what is considered a staple of the universe is entropy, not time. So time is a consequence of entropy, but entropy is not a consequence of time. You can't stop entropy, there's not way of holding it back.
Hmm... I believe it to be the opposite. Entropy is basically the state of disorder of a system. In and of itself it's not really time based so I should be more precise here: the observation that disorder always increases IS reliant on time.
On the other hand--if we look at the universe as an infinite collection of all possible configurations--then entropy and time have no direction. So one could not say that disorder increases or decreases.
This is a you tube page for the economist - a publication not noted for deep philosophical metaphysical thinking...
They might do a good job telling you about the local economies in Abuja or Lagos however.
Entropy increases as time passes. If that's the case stars and planets would not form. Yes they eventually decay, but they form first, leading to more order. One of the first things I learned in Chemistry is that atoms seek the order of a complete valence shell.
Simple, because Gandalf allowed it to pass.

"Time has no direction"
Can we go backwards in time?
"No"
Yes
@timwins31 thats the sarcasm i was portraying
but if everything including you did go back, how would you know?
Precognition has been shown to occur in experiments and in numerous dream reports. The idea that everything always goes forward in time all at once may be an overgeneralization.
Time has two direction but the equations of physics, besides entropy I suppose, are symmetric to both of them.
Time is the the unfolding of events. It's very much real, and very much necessary for the existence of the universe. You will not convince me otherwise.
does time pass or is there only one persistent moment that lasts forever?
everything is bullshit.. we're an eternal conscious being having an experience of itself..
That statement is vacant new-age bullshit, just reproduction of other people's words that you regurgitate without the insight of what you're saying...you're just another inauthentic fuckin narcissistic new-age idiot and I'm fuckin sick of you people....I am just another troll, I realize that, but you....you fuckin people....you fuckin.....aaaaaagh....
Dejan Markovic hey that would be cool if you didn't tell me how I think but then again the world is filled with people like you who don't understand philosophy.. what are you like the shitty part of my brain trying to drag me back down to lower consciousness? no stay here.. be of the physical world.. don't realize your true nature.. be an animal or whatever.. it's actually funny how you pretend you're a personality having a human experience as if it's so important that everyone knows who you are, thinks all your jokes are funny and recognizes you as a very special individual. I'm sure it gets your rocks off real good.
Maathiu Ra Yin if time slows down the faster we go, this is good. It will allow us to travel further into the universe in one lifetime in the future. Whatever way we look at it, it's a head fuck.
Maathiu Ra Yin Time does not exist. It is a man made concept, an underlining abstraction to have a better view and understanding of several events.
Time, physically, is understood to present the duration of an event like how long does it need (relative to a constant like the speed of light c) going from point A to B.
So, time can be seen as a duration, a length (between different events). Movement means "how much of a spatial length is reached for 'a' certain time (duration) like say 1 second" in one dimensional space per (a one dimensional) time.
Measurement means we "detect" a difference relative to a fixity. Lets say everything in the universe was moving in the same direction and with the same speed.
Would we recognize a difference, any motion? Would we have a time? No, we wouldn't because the relative differences are what makes time to what it is to us.
It's hard to define time it can be looked at as moments but the messure is relative not absolute
"Time is what stops everything from happening at once."
More likely, it keeps everything from not happening at all.
- I'm so tired of hearing the obvious as if it was a profound statement of wit. When infact it leads us right back to square one. What is the fabric of time that allows for these percieved manifistations?
The answer to this is “yes”
If an item in space moves infinitely in one direction once it has been pushed
maybe the reason time moves infinitely in one direction is because it has been acted on by some force we are not familiar with?
+Rapid000 TF2 シ damn this kush iz gud
+Rapid000 TF2 シ Interesting insight! And what is more interesting is that science detected an unknown force which has been expanding the universe for a certain time: the dark energy. Maybe other "dark forces" can emerge...who knows?
+Rapid000 TF2 シ
Yes, i think that would be the case.
Maybe kinetic energy makes time to pass.
+Rapid000 TF2 シ so this is a weird question but i think it's a good one, if a guy travels in speed of light and i'm the guy who lives in earth will the guy who travels die faster than me?
+is it good to do Actually, you will die faster then the traveller because time flows more slowly near speed of light. Your question is answered by the Twin Paradox proposed by Einstein himseld
You can use entropy to explain time going forward vs backward.
No, you cannot. You can use entropy to explain most collections of matter undergoing increasing entropy together by the basics of stochiometry but that's a probabilistic characteristic of position and velocity. It says nothing about a directionality of the underlying time in which microstates change from one state to another.

1:13 Best explanation of time I’ve heard.
Time = rate of change of universe. If there is no change, there is no time passing.
I like that thought. However, gravity appears to be a constant force in the universe. Sadly, we do not understand gravity to the extent needed to explain why it appears to be constant.
Please consider reading my above response for a similar thought.
Scientists dont have a good definition of time because all yet made are redundant, it defines it as what a clock reads. The problem with your comment is there is that change is being different at different places in time.

What do you mean, specifically?
If 4 people of identical age (quadruplets) are each travelling in separate spaceships travelling at différent near light speed velocities towards the same star- when they all finally arrive at the same star are they the same age? Obviously the fastest arrives first, and has aged least- but has to wait for the next to arrive. When the 4th has arrived- are they all the same age?
Depends on how much faster each ship is and how long they each wait at the end...
@Oliver Butler "Obviously the fastest arrives first, and has aged least". Obviously? First of all, we need to define the POV and the reference system. Secondly, the star is also moving, so the one that is moving in the direction closer to the opposite one of the star could still arrive first even with a slower ship. Thirdly...there are too many assumptions to make your Obviously statement not obvious at all.
The fact that you think movement affects aging shows you lack a basic understanding of biology. All those people "age" irregardless of where they're traveling to or from.
You make a logical fallacy of confusing cause and effect and you seem to be making an equivocation fallacy in regards to the definition of what you mean by "age(ing)". So to answer you, your reasoning is full of bullshit logic...i.e. nothing logical at all
I guess they will be the same age when all of them has arrived. Due to speed is "distance covered divided by the time you used to travel", so the only difference will be the acceleration. The first person will stop first, and when the second sibling arrives, his age would have caught up to the second sibling because he aged fastest when he stood still. When the last sibling arrives, the three other siblings reached his age in the moment the last one arrived.
IcanFartLOUD The fact that YOU used the term “irregardless” shows you have no understanding of the English language.
There is this moment right now. Past is only an illusion because we have memory that remembers many "now" moments from "before".
Future is only our expectation based on our memorized experience.
Just Wow, The Economist taking on General Relativity!
Yep, time is a social creation, part of the socio-psychological identity, and its historical point of view, which is necessary of course in real life, but theoretically unnecessary. The clocks are man made too. Time doesn't pass, things do, or we pass other things. Our position is not the right one, as there is no general time. There are only changing things, which go from one point to another according to their physical nature.
+Teemu M. Through the Never \m/ \m/
+Teemu M. If women had made time it would go in all directions.
Makes sense. If we as conscious actors force things to go in "reverse" (such as by walking "backwards", lift a fallen object) they will seem to have gone backwards in time. But actually just be following the same laws of physics applied inversely to them. +Teemu M.
+Teemu M. I wish scientists would understand this. And step away from this rediculous theory that time can actually slow down or speed up.
+Thrillseeker303 WOT?
So if someone is moving faster than you you see him like he indeed is but in real situation he is going through time slightly faster than everything around them do he is faster. So is speed the curve of time?
Because of the motion of matter. Time is a dependent variable of motion. If all matter in the Universe was to abruptly halt, so would the passage of time -- and this would not be a coincidence, because both are one and the same.
“I’m stein, Line stein” lol! Two screwups in the captions.
I find the very concept of time amazingly interesting. And it too amazes me that physicists have now realized time's indeed only one part of a giant construct made of space and matter as well. It can and _is_ bend, affected by something as 'simple' as a mass of matter. Then we stumble upon the big question, the one we seem unable to elude: _Is there a God who created this enormous construct?_
And then again, most physicists will laugh it off and say, _no way, because then who created God?_ They realize we exist inside a gigantic mechanism made of space, matter, and time, which (with the right amount of power) can be manipulated, and yet they fail to understand that time's ability to be tinkered with also means it could have been (and was) engineered, created, thus rendering its Maker a timeless, non-physical, not-space dependant entity, beyond the bounds and limits of any material construct or restriction. An eternal, all-powerful, awe-inspiring God.
Einstein also said time is a persistent illusion
If you imagine the passing of time as the movement of our entire Universe in a higher dimension, we can theoretically change the direction of time by changing the direction of movement of our Universe. Although, this practically is impossible.
Daniel Șuteu i can also imagine my dick is larger than average, however...
An obvious good point. Imagination does not change reality, but yet, it's fun to imagine. ;)

time = movement and the measurements of such movements. without movement time would not exist. right?
Nope, time is a clock that's ticking. 1,2,3,4,5 etc.
Spot on. If earth did not move, then there would never be time. We never stop moving in one direction, hence the arrow of time goes in one direction. Simple.
you are right
Adonigh Ah thats right, actually time doesnt exist, only there is movement of objects, imagine if there is no matter then how do you define time
No time is just something that is presented on a clock.
Its the flow of energy in all its forms within the universe.
Better than most answers
- Stuff moves towards areas with "slower time"
- Stuff causes time to slow down
- Moving stuff causes time?
Mic_Glow interesting comment. I never thought of it that way but you’re right stuff does move toward a slower time (gravity). Not sure what this all means still if any relevance at all but glad I came across this.
Just analyze "motion". Soon you will discover the Special Relativity(SR) phenomena all by yourself.
Also, you will derive all of the SR mathematical equations as well. Even a high school dropout can do it.
why do we pass gas
Because we eat horrible shit that starts decomposing before we've even finished digesting it. As it literally "rots" inside our guts, gases and bacteria are produced... And along with the gases expelled some horrible shit is bound to be expelled as well. Now you know. :o)
Delousing.
If what we ate didn't decompose inside us, we would have no way of metabolizing it.
gnarth d'arkanen the way you explained it doesn't make any sense
Because the internal processes of the body utilize time.
did a group of people just get together to deliver a message that is "we don't know shit."?
beats working for a living! aka theoretical Physicist?
😂😂
The message was "we know a whole lot, but we're still figuring out the answer to this specific question". The way you misinterpreted it is actually what this video made you think about yourself.
I've never been on a light speed spaceship nor have I even seen one! philosophically speeeaking I don't have time to discuss this further, I'm busy fighting my very own entropy!
party pooperZZZ that's pretty much what science is.. we don't know shit so let's pretend we do or whatever to pass the time... *bingo
So the way going backwards in time is described here is that entropy must be reversed. That being the case he's not talking about the traditional one person going back in time but that the whole universe goes back in time. How do we even know that doesn't happen? Entropy could stop and start all the time, go backward and forwards you couldn't detect it because detecting relies on entropy in itself.
Bobby Dazzler The issue with that idea is that spontaneous materializations of useful energy do not occur, at least not on a scale that we can observe. Stars do not miraculously split (fiss?) helium back into hydrogen, the ATP fueling your muscles will not suddenly return to carbohydrate form, and the electromagnetic radiation coming from your computer screen won't decidedly fail to be emitted. The universe reversing entropy, even for less than a second, would have unimaginable consequences on both a quantum and grand scale.
Good video. It was made by The Economist magazine?!? Well done!
Time is important and I am a clock!
TheStrober I literally read that as something else for a second!!!
Time passes because its parents would be disappointed if it failed!
Time is Asian??
Son of a bitch... that was a cleaver one.
This joke is..... Beyond science 😡😡😡😡😡😡
Time passes but entropy scores
Bro
Both "time" and "the arrow of time" are philosophical explanations of matter-energy decaying and our conscious awareness of that decay. So why are they asking why time has a forward direction? There is no "direction" of time. If the real question they're asking is why does energy-matter decay then that to me seems like an entirely different question.
So the real question is why does matter have entropy. We don't know the answer do we? Just like we don't know why matter has any other characteristic!
+Stevo1361 I don't know if I understand you well but I think that yes, we know why and the video answered that question. Entropy exists because the probability is there to support it. You only have one way to keep "order" and an infinite ways to decay. Which one is more likely to happen next then?
That alone creates an arrow of time which goes along with entropy.
lexgotham Yeh that's what i was saying.
So then the real question is why do things decay!
Stevo1361 I believe that, ultimately, your "real" question is: why the big bang?
Decay doesn't mean anything if you don't look at it as a quality thing. The order or decay factor is just a matter of point of view. You see a deck of cards as ordered or not according to your expectations. But whatever your expectation is, you will always expect one configuration of order and any other configuration will be considered as decay. Which means that the more you go, the more things will look like loosing order/decaying. Ultimately, there is no decay, there only are things that happen. Why they happen? Because there is transfer of energy. And things will stop happening when there is no (useful) energy left to be transferred. And why there is energy to begin with? Because there was a bang and it was big. And why so? Where the initial energy comes from? No one knows. The how is almost explained but definitely not the why.
I may be wrong but this is how I understand it all.
lexgotham Nice explanation, i like it. But you started with saying "decay factor is a point of view". True, that the idea of something decaying is a human concept, but the natural process of entropy is not a human concept. So i was thinking out loud, why do things become less complex.
And from your reply you're saying it's due to the impossibly slow reduction in energy within the universe?
Which makes logical sense so i know it must be a shitload more complex than that.
Something profoundly comforting about this conversation
As Groucho Marx said, "Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana."
Time does not exist, it is an illusion, a creation of our imagination and our experience, which are both notoriously unreliable.
Time is man's invention in 'eternity'.
Kurt Gödel provided a model of Einstein’s equation that had the universe as a large rotating disc within which there were closed time-like world lines. This (arguably) shows that time travel is physically possible (i.e. consistent with general relativity). This puts pressure on those who believe that time-travel is logically impossible.
Time passes because existence is time. Without time existence would not exist. It's like asking why do you walk in order to walk.
look at all these geniuses in the comments saying time is just an illusion ,fuck all those scientists and those years of hard work, just come down to this comment section cause people here already figured out the secrets of the universe smh
im no genius but this 'time is an illusion' seems pretty common sense to me. see, we created language to talk about things and so to control them for our survival. the problem is that we FORGET that we only created it, there is no actual time in the true reality (unamed). true, there is motion and change, but thats it. And then we wonder these silly questions, "can we go back in time? can we go to the future? can we bend the fabric of spacetime?... etc" those questions are still for our survival if you think about it, it is to control them. there is only an eternal now. -thats saying too much, but i said it just to get a point.
"(philosophical) Problems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way." ~Alan Watts
Doty Fuzz but it is an illusion. Lol. Time, the theory of relativity applies here on earth not in the cosmos which is why it is a theory.
The notion that we created time in our heads is hilarious. A thing exists whether we give it a name or not. Without time, you could not read this sentence. Stop being so over-the-top silly.
Every time i see Time related video its all same and repeated content.
Time is relative to the consciousness observing it. For the universe, everything is happening at the same time.
Sick Revolting Piss than how come things decay over time? things don't have consciousness.
Yeh, He should hve left consciousness, no consciousness is needed, everything observes, experiences time, expect light. It is indeed said to be relative and the faster you go, the slower time goes for you, but actually as in the start one of the guys said, time is the happenings and I kinda like that, I mean, I know time is relative but I dont think about time like that, Theres 1994 and Its 1944 for every human on Earth and for the universe, everything is happening at the same time, We live in the same time, spacetime maybe curvatured, but, If theres an alien race somewhere and Its the present for me, You know, for me They still live in the same fckin time when I live, If We say time isnt the same everywhere thats just awkard and fckin retarded, even, If Its true.
Decay is not a function of time...it is a function the breakdown. 'Time' is completely independent of all things and nothing depends on it.
According to relativity a photon travels a distance over time from our perspective, but to the photon there is no distance and time from its own perspective. So here is an interesting thought at least. Our perspective is more important and more real, according to our brain.
Sick Revolting Piss Energy cannot change states in an instant though. The "passage" of time must happen. However, the manner in which we perceive it is undoubtedly a product of our own minds making sense of the flow of entropy into terms that we can understand at our tiny level of existence within the cosmos.
this is the moment of time in which the world still doesn't know that i already solved this problem, with the most unexpected and craziest way u cannot imagine. they think they'll probably find it out with relativity and quantum mechanics but no, it's about solving another huge problem that has been long forgotten, it's the key to understand this universe and the key to answer this question.
it's cringy haha but still
Why does time pass?? I suppose it's running game sucks.
Hahaha..... That's really bad.....but I did laugh a bit
Chris Nizer Time Tebow has neither
took me a second
Ha.ha.ha.
that's actually good lmao
The actual reason that time goes is because when we basically forget or do not expect time to go fast, time behind our back just goes fast, which I guess happens when your BRAIN is occupied, but I will say Einstein's theory is very right as well. Now if you are looking at a clock or if you are waiting for the clock to pass 5 minutes, it will feel like as if you were waiting double the amount, since your brain is focused on trying to use time, which if you are not patient, would not be a good idea
Also, that explains why there is no "time," because it is just an illusion that we created like Albert Einstein said.
I'm too dumb to understand this
LOL, why u mad tho??
Nobody is dumb, just uneducated or unmotivated to learn.
¡No pasarán! Troll... I bet your a white guy with a fake account
Justin Baker obviously never debated a flat-earther
You understand that youre on the same exact level of understanding of the subject? youre making yourself believe that you know more about time than the guy you replying to when in reality youre both clueless.
Three questions. 1. If time slows down as you approach speed of light then light must have no time. 2. As matter decays into chaos with thermal entropy then eventually it will reach the same likeness and chaos ends. 3. worm holes cannot exist because to bend space to shortcut across space would mean space is a flat two dimensional plane, which it is not.
does this mean that in some places time is non existent?
SamLuckOfficial well, out of universe (although out of universe doesn't exist in practice) and in absolute vacuum (although absolute vacuum doesn't exist in practice too.)
Maybe in some places time is frozen
Does this mean time doesn't exist in black holes?
why wouldn't time exist in absolute vacuum? That doesn't make sense at all...
and yes, there is time in a black hole, however, to an outside observer, it LOOKS LIKE there isn't time.
I'm coming back and watching this stoned to try to understand it better.
Msw .9 I'm stoned rn
“If I go down near a black hole, for an hour, you may go forward in time by 7 years by the time I come back.” This is a wonderful clear vision of relativity with the graphics presented on screen.
If entropy increases over time, then the future is more random or more entropic then the past. If we proceed from the big bang, the instance that energy defined matter and time began was the more ordered period. As the weight of accumulated time moving forth increased entropy and no outside energy makes for greater order, then the future will become more and more random until it becomes total chaos. As I note, things get crazier every day.
Title: Why does time pass?
10:00 into the video "no one knows why time passes..."
I told you, it's always because of One Direction
Judin Kinds 😂😂😂
Guess I will wait another 400 years until some other genius comes along and answers this question.
TheRealJew - Why do people still believe in nuclear bombs… smh
TheRealJew - Truth is not kosher? Fuck off, Jew.
TheRealJew - Only idiots burn their own souls. All terror is CIA-led operations.
blueswagman - I'm not denying the dangers of nuclear material! I'm denying the pseduo-fact that all things are made up of tiny balls.
I've studied Chemistry SL and Physics HL at the International Baccalaureate, and not once were we presented with real images of any sort of atom.
How is it that conventional science is a perfect reflection of Kabbalah philosophy?-This is too much of a coincidence!
The atomic-bomb scare was effective and reliable during the war, obviously, but the general populace has arrogantly forgeten that history is written by the victor. Hitler warned us about this, in advance, and about so much more(...), so why turn our backs to the truth? Why turn our backs to one of the greatest messiahs to ever roam Earth?
_There is no atom to split._
blueswagman - "[…] with big explosions." - At critical mass, nuclear material illuminates light. In other words, in this case, heat is produced and emitted to its surroundings at all times (regardless of mass). Authorized nuclear ractors, simply put, are merely steam plants. Anyone can build a steam engine, at home, and power it with heavy elements… These so-called 'explosions' you speak of are nothing but the outcome of _excessive_ pressure build-up.
But all this, the above, is hardly proof of anything relevant.
ang galing pano naman kahit na naglalakbay ka sa speed of light.you are just..it does not affect the other matters around it

Why does DR Kip Thorne remind me of Master Roshi?
Damn you now I can never unsee it!
Patrick Muchmore I was thinking Walter white
What if time got stuck on 4:20? 😐
Richard R cuz u were high AF
For many people.....it already has LOL!!! And that's totally fine!!! You know, Psychadelics can be an Amazing tool when it comes to better understanding Perceptions of Time etc etc!! On those drugs, Time can *Feel* as if it is slowed down for the user relative to a sober person. At the least, it helps a person better understand the Nature of Time and the Illusory Nature of our human senses and perceptions!! BUT....ONLY when used in moderation by someone who actually cares to use it for more than just "kicks" or a weekend party!!
Oh it defiantly slows down. I especially feel time slow during my coitus sessions with my lady friend.
Time passes because if it did not then everything would be an eternal now - which is the true reality underpinning the one we see in everyday life.
We would not experience change - a process essential for experience - if time did not pass.
A much better question is:
What IS time?
However WHY does time exist at all is easy to answer.
Pulp Fiction!
Am I the only person who can never understand what the fuck "space time" even means? I'm soooo confused and I've never understood this
Donovan Louis space time is the plane of our existence
Donovan Louis It's not that weird that you don't understand. I you really want to understand you'll probably have to read a book about the special theory of relativity. It's a concept that's hard to convey in the course of video or in a comment.
it a label made up by a bunch of so called scientist who did not understand gravity or matter to appear knowledgeable. we use to invent words when we were kids, just to impress others. here grown up children playing it. just ask any of them what is gravity, not the effect of it or structure of matter. they don't know the answer. the fact you have difficulty to understand it, it means space time is nonsense, because science simple. MG1
Neil DeGrasse explained this in one of his videos, but I cannot find it for you.
But here is the example as best I can recall it: If I tell you let's meet for coffee at the corner of so and so, you'll ask when. If I say let's meet at 5pm, you'll ask where. You cannot be at no place at 5pm and you cannot go to any place at time null.
That is, space and time are the coordinates of space-time (the plane). It is where you exist.
mg1s seems like you have it all wrong.
I replied in science context, Space time. Meeting for coffee is artificial act. In nature you are thirsty you go find water and drink. You get urge to meet you go and find subject of your urge. It is event, one lead to other. MG1
Entropy is really the key to all of this, as mentioned by others below. When there can be no further entropy, you get another Big Bang. This has been going on forever.
First of all , we ( humans ) created time. Time is a man's invention to be able to separate what preceded it from what is happening now and what will happen. Before we invest " time " , we could see that things change and we remembered that something happened before , so we named the " before " as " past " . We know that something will happen after now , so what we did ? We named the " after " as " future " . We , always , could see that things are changing through something , like the dawn and the sunset and we said : We should name that " something " and how it behaves in our lifes , in our environment , in our everything. So , let's call it " Time " . Okay , now , how does the time behave? We will find out . And after a lot of researches , we created calendars and seconds and minutes and hours and days and etc. So we created " time " , although it exists , we gave him a name in order to make clearer the things ! So , the answer to the question " Why does time pass ?" is that we made time pass ! Before invest time , time was a ghost and could see his " actions " but not the time itself ( if you understand me ) and now we have given him a body , we see also his " actions " and him in the clocks !!
Physics Teacher : WHY ARE YOU SO LATE TO CLASS ?
Me : Sir i was coming to school with speed near to light ,
so " i am on time "
but for you the lecture is over , as time passed rapidly for you...!
Physics Teacher : " Convinced...! "
🤔🤔🤔 😌
" next time please travel slowly "
wOW~ yOU ARE gENIUS~!🙂🙂
Albert EinsTIME
Well played
Rhyme thyme crime on a dime. Slime.
A time will come when we will understand the concept of time and greater time, it is very well described in Indian scriptures as Kaal and Mahakaal. the time experienced by us is just an experience that we are having and has nothing to do with the actual time which is "greater time" that governs the movement of the plants.
We experience space because there is time, beyond the time-space continuum there are other dimensions where only "greater time" is present.
But time never passed, other things passed through time, we measure with something that has constant rythm to determine time so we can use this constant value to measure other values and to help us organise
Absolutely well done and definitely keep it up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Proud to be a Mathematician :')
Same.. 2 plus 2 is 4 minus 1 that's three, quick mafffs
in order to travel backwards in time you have to "teleport" the arrow of time using quantum mechanics and technology meaning it will only accept one person at a time due to advancements not made yet to supply the data to render it open long enough to handle 2 or more people. we call it the "star gate".
To sum up this video "Yeah, we don't know shit"
Time is a concept to measure the succession and chronology of events.
Rafael Cepeda Just because you need a word doesn't mean you are actually refering to the real essence of the thing to which you are pointing to. People call you Rafael, but you are not a "Rafael", you are a human, which even if unique has enough common characteristics to need an extra unique denomination
. Time is useful so we can relate and understand the progression of events, but this is only relevant because we take advantage of it with our powerful memory. Tardingrades live hundreds of years and they are almost a closed cycle that feeds of the "constant chaos". Unlike we that are more influenced by each different state (like night/day, hot/cold, animal or plant desertification or not) which is why we need to memorize and pick the patterns and that's where the basic unit comes in so we put some perspective to scale each event properly. The whole time is just an upmanship of this game to a cosmic level. Time is a system that should be seen in relation to our human condition and not necessarly a property of the cosmic machinery.
Question: If one were to travel back in time, wouldn't it mean that their entire body, including their brain and every single neuron and hence thoughts, were set back as well, and it is therefore possible that we have all traveled back in time countless times but will never know that we have?
True but if we cannot put our past in the context of our present, then there is no real use of traveling back in time - even if we could or did.
sophistry
Time is precious but we all are wasting it
:(
