I was thinking about how time relates to our mind just a moment ago, then it hit me. I'm posting this here because this should not be forgotten. Seriously, I think I have stumbled into the real deal. I've got this feeling that time could possibly not exist.

What I mean is, perhaps everything is in the present only, and we only percieve a past through what we currently have within our mind. All the memories are there, but we never actually experienced them, we only think we did because the memory exists. There is no future either. We only think there will be one based on what memories we have to base one off of.

Not convinced? Okay then. You are reading my post right now. Goodness gracious me! Wait a minute! How do you really know you're reading it right now and not before? How do you know you're not accessing the memory of it?

Confused? Let me explain my theory furthur. Let's say time once existed. Once. But it had a limit, and it ran out. Now time is no more. It's the end of the universe, and everything that existed at the point time stopped also stopped and became the final present, where there would no longer be a future, only a past that lingers in the midst of mere thoughts.

I know, I know, it's too overwhelming for you, right? It's okay, take it in slow if you have to. I don't blame you for being astounded by these possible secrets of the mind that I have exposed to you.

Yeah, you managed to imitate Kracus. Now here's your cookie. Run along now.

this guy is getting more like kracus everyday holy fuck

so is this kracus' little brother's alt?

there is no spoon!

Ain't no fork either slick.

That's a very interesting theory Synergy, I'm going to go ponder the possibilities and get back to you. :icon14:

law if time doesn't exist how do you explain seremtam being so old? you can't agree with synergy and call him old, can you?

I can't give you an answer until I finish pondering the possibilities and reach a conclusion, but I will endeavour to include your statement into the thought process.

so in other words you can't be arrested for a crime.

I can already tell you'll be a good lawyer, you always survey all the information that is relevant.

Funny that, he reserves judgement and you jump to a conclusion based on it.

no hard feelings, just having a little fun at your expense

rubbish

This sounds like those non-linear aliens from the very first episode of Deep Space 9.

Your theory my ass

I have a 400 page book about how time doesn't exist. Can't recall the name of it though. If you want I'll get the the title for you...

Yeah, that's about it, too. The fucking author spends the first chapter explaining how he grew up. Who the fuck cares? Get to the bogus theory.

man, i hope someone forced that lump of paper upon you.

Well I sure the hell didn't buy it, if that's what you're getting at. My buddy lent it to me saying it was a good read. Couldn't even get past the first few pages. That's the problem with most scientists/theory people... they fucking suck at writing.

whats the name of the book?

Damnit tnf... making me get up off my ass are you...
