Thoughts On Time

The passing of time can be measured, but it seems to pass differently for everyone. I believe the emotional condition of the person helps to influence how fast time seems to pass. But there are still things that exist, like clocks, that tell us what the measured time is. Things can't happen in a chronological order without some amount of time. The passing of time is a corner stone for any event to happen. On one hand, time is a man made invention, and on the other it is a part of the our universe.

Would time exist if we hadn't discovered it? Would gravity exist we if hadn't discovered it? What if another form of life that was capable of discovering these things found them, would they still exist?

Yes. The stuff existed before we discovered it.

I think time itself would travel the same even if we weren't aware of it existing. Light would take just as long to reach the earth if humans had never existed to discover and measure time.

The past and future are nothing more than theories, the present is the only thing that exists. The past is kept alive through memory, and the future can be predicted by the experiences we have gained in our life.
