    The Memory of the past exists, but the past does not exist in time. The past has happened therefore is not in the present.

    The present is what is happening simultaneously to yourself. What is the present? The present is the seconds when you are doing something, you can never say you are in the present because the present would have passed by the time you have said it.

    The future does not exist in time because as I have stated the only thing that theoretically exists in time is the simultaneous (present) but then following that theory, the present does not exist.

    If the past does not exist and the future does not exist (in time) and the present is between the past and the future then the present does not exist.

    The present exists, but its like the uncertainty principle.. it's impossible to know exactly when it is happening.

    well this has some truth to it, but not completely. you see, the only thing that does exist is the present. although, the present for me and the present for you are different. say we are standing next to eachother. then, someone fires a gun into the air a mile away. he hears the sound before us, and we hear it a bit after. this is because sound takes time to reach a spot fat away from it. the same with light, but light is much faster. so it's almost impossible for us to tell the present we are in the different than the present antoher person is in. it may be happening at the same time, but we recieve the information of the environment around us at different times. we may not know what is ever happening in the present, but it takes so little time for our brain to register light and sound, it makes almost no difference to us.

    and science is very contraversial. argue with me! am i right? i think i am, please yell at me if you think my mind is freakin out and im just a stupid idiot.

    the answer is: it is nothing.

    it is a fygment of our immagination. the past only exists in our minds. sure, the actions of the past effect the course of the future, but the past only exists in the minds of animals which are stored by chemicals and chemical reactions.

    thus, time is only what us humans make up to please ourselves and humor our simple minds.
    Do you exist?

    If time is nothing then why is it here?
    The jealous temper of mankind, ever more disposed to censure than
    to praise the work of others, has constantly made the pursuit of new
    methods and systems no less perilous than the search after unknown
    lands and seas.

    Time is a myth. Unable to be proven.

    Oh come on, you guys are trying to think too hard.

    Time exists. Anyone can observe this by doing anything. Such anythings include throwing a ball, thinking, drinking lemonade, raging at Boxxy, playing Team Fortress 2, and reading this post, as well as everything else ever except dying.

    Whether or not an observer from outside this universe would see time is another matter, but that is beyond the scope of care for pretty much everyone, save some theoretical physicists.

    Without time there is no motion with out motion there is no matter (the electrons moving) and with out motion or matter there is no energy.

    Time exists, whoever theorized it didn't is an idiot.
