does time realy exist? or is it just something the human race has come up with ? is time just here to convenitly suit scientists? think of going on a walk. and you need to go from point A to point B your starting desination your house and your ending destination wallmart lol lets say its 10 miles
first of all to get there you have to walk 5 miles and before that 2.5 miles and before you can reach 2.5 miles you have to reach 1.25 miles im not giveing this story justice but im shure everyone knows the point im trying to say how will you ever get to wallmart? how will you ever get your bran new flat screen T.V? for example if your walking on the side walk your speed is relative to the sidewalk beneath you. it is impossable to have one instant in time only a interval of time if there is no instances there is no infinity paradox. which proves that there is no real time mesurement.
i may sound dumb on this >< im in 8th grade and came up with this off the top of my head i think i left a lot out but it was a hard thing to think about |

Time is change, and you are correct, it is man made-the definition at least.
Everyone has their own interpretation of time, so make one for yourself because I don't see it being explained thoroughly for a long time.

you can measure time however you want. nothing changes it speed or the fact that it is perfectly constant, and unable to be manipulated. |

If you follow the digression from instrument to observer then you will see that it all ends with our arbitrary perception. Time is defined by each entity, and is entirely subjective. The only way to make time objective would be to invent an entirely new perspective of the universe, like a new E=MC^2.
BTW, Requisition, I like your quote. THE MATRIX OWNS.

We should have a section called, "Philosophy of The Matrix".
I'm not kidding, those movies had allot of very important philosophy in them. After watching the first over 20X, I started to see it.

Creepy????  Over 10 years or so thats completely reasonable. 2X a year, is that so bad? The others I haven't watched as much, actually.

IMO
Time is the speed at which we experience reality
Different species (IMO) experience time/reality at different speeds.

That would screw up my theory if that were true. Time passes at 1/sec per sec relative to oneself for everyone no matter their own reference frame.

| The concept of time becomes much easier when you understand that it is finite. There was a time, before time, when time did not exist. There will come a time, after time, when time will cease to exist. As for now, we are stuck in time. It exists. We just do not know how long that existence will remain. For us, that is of no consequence. Once time ceases, questions like "how long?" will become meaningless. |

Time is not change since time has no influence over any physical changes whatsoever, however time can be used to measure change.

Time is well defined and understood.

Tap a pen on the table, rhythmically. You've just created "time." Although crude in it's accuracy, that method can be used for measuring.
