Does time exist? - Andrew Zimmerman Jones

The earliest time measurements were observations of cycles of the natural world, using patterns of changes from day to night and season to season to build calendars. More precise time-keeping eventually came along to put time in more convenient boxes. But what exactly are we measuring? Andrew Zimmerman Jones contemplates whether time is something that physically exists or is just in our heads.

I don't know why but I feel so comfortable while watching these videos.
Like someone is trying to teach me something special, very politely.

This Einstein animation is the cutest I've ever seen

I always get a funny feel when I think about how all our questions now would one day be common sense. Like how gravity was a mystery before and it was thought up by one of the greatest minds in history, but now its more of common sense and taught in school to 10year olds. In the future, all these mind boggling concepts and theories would become common sense that kids learn in school.

*When I'm late.*
Teacher: You're very late.
Me: Does time exist?

Two ways to slow time down:

1: Start exercising
2: Microwave your food

"Could time just be some sort of illusion generated by the limitations of the way we perceive the universe"
This blew my mind

[rebellionrblx]

Teacher: you’re late to class Me: time is an illusion

I feel like time is just the word we give to the phenomena of watching things in a 3D space move and breaking down those movements into digestible intervals. Similar to his example with the movie, what we call time can be broken down into individual “snapshots” of our universe. Without atoms moving, time doesn’t exist. Imagine the world was frozen, every atom stuck in its place, how would time even possibly be measured in such an instance?

My economics teacher : Time is an imaginary concept created by watchmakers to sell their watches .

"Our understanding of time starts getting complicated thanks to Einstein."

Thanks Einstein.

Me after procrastinating for 5 hours:

The animation in this video is absolutely astonishing!
Not only the flawlesss technique but also how intuitive it works and how it is used in such a playful and intelligent way

Time does not exist. Simple Answer. It's all in our heads.
