Time – Science or Philosophy??

Everybody knows that time is continuous…. But if it is possible for us to slice each unit(say second) of it, we can say that time is static at that particular point of time and that it looks to be continuous when all these statics are combined together in a sequence.This is thought taking into assumption that every action takes one second.

Something is predetermined to happen every second. Like, say im typing now, so when i type this letter ‘a’, it means that at this particular point of time i do the action of typing ‘a’,and that particular action stays there for eternity.It was already there and will be only there, only a transition takes place from one level to another. This is why some believe that time travel is possible.

Going by this assumption, we can say that, if we know time is a continual execution of static events, then there is a slight possibility to know our future, if we know how to do it. We may be in one of this phase, there will be our replicants who are leading us and lagging behind us. As we know about what we passed in the past, we are interested only in what will we experience in the future….

Well, the title should have read ‘Time – Static or Continuous’ , just that the present title was catchy and I really thought i could explore philosophy through this – but couldnt.

    Time is neither Science nor Philosophy. Its a thought, the title of this section of the blog. Time expands in a boring class and contracts when you are with someone you love.

    wat about slicing it into micro second, nanosecond etc??? Time is one of the dimensions in the N dimensionsal universe….so u cannot slice time. wat is a second first of all? wat is time? Man invented it for convienece.

    U can take any arbitrary value as the unit of time, thats what is meant there. What is being tried to convey is that at every point of time there will be static events, and these static events happen in a continual way…
