There is no such thing as time, its just a word made up by human beings. I guess people just want time travel to exist but without an actual component there is no rule, and everything in existence is governed by rule, meaning time travel does not exist because it has no rule. All space is governed by rule and you can't change that. You cannot make 2+2 = 6. You cannot make the frame of existence move backwards or speed it up.

Time is not a physical being, you can't see it under a microscope, you can't affect it, you can't do anything with it because it is just a WORD. It does not exist even on molecular or atomic measures. The only way to manipulate something is to grasp it. How can you grasp something that doesn't exist?


So you see time as being something more abstract, like a perception created by our minds.

Yeah. I've always thought about it but I can't see it any other way. There's thousands of words in languages that are used to describe things that don't exist but can be percieved through the mind of a human being and time is one of them.

Edit - The best way I can explain it is time is nothing but a measurement made up by human beings just like the millimeter is made up by the human being. Millimeter doesn't actually exist because you cannot see it under a microscope and its not a spiritual being so there is no arguement that any measurements exist. For instance, you can have an item that is one millimeter in length, the item exists but millimeter is just the description (of no physical value), you can then make the item longer but that doesn't mean your making the millimeter longer because a 'millimeter is a millimeter' much like 'time is time'. Nothing but descriptive words for measurements.
