Loop quantum gravity: There is no such thing as Time, which is simply an old concept!

On the other hand, time itself may be a fundamental specific attribute of every existing thing. Local to everything at the point it starts to exist. So that any thing coming into existence and all of the time associated with it, are conterminous.
Not constant then, but only time itself occurs when some thing happens, or some things happen.

I glaze over at talk about no such thing as time.

But your mortgage provider doesn't, they calculate it to the second.

 

It's possible that all the talk about no such thing as time is conducted by

people with too much time on their hands.

 

I'll trade my flux capacitor for it...and...I'll throw in the Delorean if it's a Rolex.

I keep waiting for someone to point out the internal inconsistency of the thread title. If there is no such thing as time, how can it be an "old" concept!

 

I didn't want to steal your thunder.
