"My own personal opinion is that time is a human construct"
What is this supposed to mean?
We can measure time with non-human instruments and time is at the core of physics. How can it be a human construct?
Sure, hours, minutes, days, etc. are human constructs based on movements of the earth, but time itself?
- beachwood23 12y agoI think his point is that time is so inherently relative to the location / inertia of the observer that it is in practice a human construct.
- physonaught 12y agoThe physicists definition of time is "What clocks measure". It sounds like he was just saying the party line.
- kbart 12y agoTime only defines the state of the extremely complex system known as universe. It's an idea to make things more simple for us humans, not a physics phenomena. Stop all the particles and waves in the universe and time has no meaning. At least that's how I understand what he meant by this.
