And yet, some people think time is an element, that time can be traveled, or that time can stand still.
That time can’t even be accurately counted, should be enough to show everyone that time is a manmade concept. Time is nothing more than a means of tracking the movement Vs nonmovement of events.
I didn’t want to embarrass the man while he was alive, but Stephen Hawking chose as his area of study something no more mysterious than written language.
What he might have endeavored to prove is whether any specific ongoing event coincides perfectly with any other long term ongoing event, so that the base movement of those events could be used to mark time fore humans.
We count time in relation to events of our planet, our moon, and our sun. There is bound to be a more reliable event we could use so consistency could be found.
Currently, seconds are counted according to a fraction of an inconsistent set of events.
Sorry Mr. Hawking, it had to be said.
