Hi all,
Can't be on the computer much "presently" :)

But just to say, one place where our views differ is that I suggest ...

And please note, I'm never "insisting" anything, just saying "the result of my (to be honest I believe very deep and comprehensive analysis) is that "if things just exist and move" then that concurs with all that I see and feel.

(Though who knows, I "may" have confirmation bias toward my own work (one has to be aware of that possibility for the work to be possibly scientific).

But, "it seems to me", I.e in every single bit of evidence I can find it seems to be the truth that things exist, and they can move.
So why not test the possibility that things may indeed perhaps "just exist and move".

To be very clear ( not rude, just clear), my position is as follows,

- I am not setting out to disprove the possible existence of a thing called time.

- I am putting forth my observations and reasoning and explaining my conclusion that...
"We may be completely wrong from the outset to assume the existence of a thing called time".

(The wording is very important , one can't disprove something, but may show how a given theory (eg the theory that a thing called time exists) may in fact be unfounded and not actually correlate with observation)

Eg nowhere do we see a "future" arriving, all we see is the same vast collection of matter "constantly" (eg "just") moving and interacting in all directions around us.

But we don't see a future arriving etc.

So, I just wanted to say, I think we may be wrong from the outset to assume a thing called time, (which means thus try dropping the concept from your mind, and seeing how the world looks "if" things just exist and move and change.

(So our views differ, 1 no time and no motion, 2 wrong to assume time, and things just move as they appear to do so).

from there you stand in a park and look around yourself and , I think, see a vast 3D world that is all just here, and not as a "slice" of a weird thing called "time", but just here! Exactly as you see it :)

Just my view.
Matt M

Ps: I haven't carefully understood the no time,and no motion, argument, so I should do that (got other things going on)
And , I'm not saying anything against it, (I'll have to take a look)

The email address: <akinetochronism at robsworld.org> gets your message posted to the mailing list, and everyone who’s subscribed sees that message. If you wish to start a discussion, you may do so via email. All you need to do is send an email - As you can see, that simple act has spurred some discussion.

I began writing about it as far back as 1996 (not professionally mind you - I’m ‘just’ a blogger). If you’d like to read some of what I’ve written (it’s not much), please start with my web page: <https://www.robsworld.org/notime.html>. Many others have come upon the same idea(s). Many others have written about this idea in a more comprehensive way (as evidenced by the most recent respondent - Matt Mars). One thing that seems to set my ideas apart from many others is my insistence that not only does time not exist, but neither does motion. While it may be somewhat easier to contemplate a world without time; most find it incomprehensible to fathom the fact that time and motion are inextricably linked and impossible without each other - unless one perceives/recognizes the motion of intellectual perception and mental/spiritual transportation through a continuously static universe of all possible realities.

I’ve been busy with other projects, but please don’t let my lack of initiation be any indication of a lack of interest. I’m still willing to discuss, participate and contribute. I’ve been primarily occupied with work and a long running effort to digitize a large collection of videos.

Conversations with correspondents who wrote (over the years) in regards to the ‘No Time’ treatise/ides I wrote/posted at: <https://www.robsworld.org/notime.html>. I will be re-posting, dissecting, discussing that correspondence here (on the ‘Akinetochronism’ forum/mailing list.

Please feel free to step in and offer your thoughts and ideas on the concept of ‘No Such Thing as Time’. After all, we’ve got all the time we need.
