What is time? I`ve been thinking of this subject for a couple of days now and this is what I came up with. For my understanding it`s this thing that can`t be heard, seen, touched, smelled, or tasted that`s not a physical thing. Time is just this "thing" that happens that can`t stop, slow down, or quicken. Once it`s over, it`s over. And once it`s done, it`s done. And whatever happens happens. Nothing can change it. Nothing can touch, hear, or see it. It just a thing that happens and can`t be changed or manipulated.
Or can it? Time is what we perseve of it, it's how we see it what we've decided time is, we see that it can only got forward, we believe that's it's only possible direction, but that's only because of a set of rules we made, but what if time can go backwards and forwards? We don't know when time began or when it will end. Time is something we've fantasized of going through and controlling.
Time is how we see it and how we understand it.

Valid counter argument. Never thought about MOST of this stuff. But we can only experience time, I don`t think we will ever change, or manipulate it.. After all, it`s theoretically the fourth dimension, which means we can never change it unless we create a device that can go to the fourth dimension and change time itself.

Though that still doesn't answer the question why it exist. There are some theories at how it began without religion poking their head in and saying one simple thing "God" (Which FYI I`m not religious so that pisses me off) But the most believable theory is "The Big Bang Theory" Which isn`t 100% positive but has some evidence so I think that theory is true. Now it may sound like I just answered my own question but I didn`t, we don`t know why time began on the very first big bang.
I say very first big bang because I believe the crunch theory. (Just look it up on Google or something it`ll tell you)

Wow I've believed in that theory for a good long part of my life and didn't realize it had name or was a theory someone else had, I believe the Big Bang is a reoccurring thing and it just keeps happening over and over with new planets and new evolutions.
A sad theory but a very possible one

Oh my goodness! We think the same things on the origin of the universe! But atleast it`s not as sad as "The Big Rip Theory" Basically it`s where the universe speeds up so much due to dark energy where the universe is going so fast everything from galaxy's to subatomic particles rip themselves apart due to how fast they are going. So the universe would not be able to restart again. So that`s why I think the Big Crunch is right.
