General Question  interalex's avatar  Does Time Exist?  Asked by
interalex (130 points ) November 28th, 2010  Is there time
absolute, relative, or per se? Does time exist where there is no
matter? Is time a consequence, dimension and measurement of
movement and activity (kinesis), and change? Is time a need of
the observer’s mind to perceive the sequence of phenomena and/or
actions? To distinguish first (prior, former) and second (next,
posterior) etc? How is time comprehended (felt) by inhabitants
on different planets, or in space? For example 10 hours on Earth
are the same on Mars, longer or shorter?  Observing members: 0
