What would happen if time did not exist?

In zero seconds, light travels zero meters. If time were stopped zero seconds would be passing, and thus the speed of light would be zero. Nothing can travel faster than light (let alone infinitely fast) without gaining infinite mass and energy, according to Einstein’s theory of relativity.

Can there be a universe without time?

A universe without time is what I would describe as a “stuck” universe. All matter and all chemical/physical reactions would be stationary. It would be a boring universe. To address Robert Frost’s answer, Einstein’s special relativity declares space-time to be a single construct within our universe.

Why do we age if time doesn’t exist?

We wouldn’t age because we woldn’t exist. Everything exists but in a still universe: That means that motion is impossible, changes just don’t occur, everything is motionless.

What does it mean when time doesn’t exist?

When physicists say that time doesn’t exist they mean one of two things: 1) The passage of time is an illusion, or 2) Time isn’t fundamental. We can only form memory about things from a time where entropy was smaller, so we can’t remember the future.

What would life be like without clocks?

Without clocks, people would be forced to learn how to use “solar time”. This would mean people would have more knowledge about the Sun, Moon, and the stars. If clocks did not exist, everyone would be off schedule.

Can you tell time without a watch or clock?

Start by planting your feet towards the sun, extending one arm fully in front of you, and rotating your wrist so your palm is facing you horizontally. Close your fingers together and align your pinky with the horizon. Now, count how many finger widths it takes to reach the sun.

What would happen if the universe was not there?

If the universe was not there then the idea of something not happening itself would not exist. Everything as it is now exists within the universe. If there was no universe, there would be no existence. , ENTP 4w3.

How can the cause of the universe be eternal?

The cause of the universe exists outside of time, so must be timeless. A cause that is timeless is eternal, so the cause of the universe is eternal. Every change represents a difference observed in time. An eternal cause outside of time, therefore, cannot change.

Could the universe have existed before Big Bang?

First of all it is a wrong premise to say that the universe never existed at any time. Science only says that the universe as we know it came on to existence at the time of Big Bang. But it could have existed in some other format before Big Bang and science can neither come to know of it nor science is worried about knowing it.

What would a universe with no boundaries look like?

Hawking and Hartle argued that indeed it would — that universes with no boundaries will tend to be huge, breathtakingly smooth, impressively flat, and expanding, just like the actual cosmos. “The trouble with Stephen and Jim’s approach is it was ambiguous,” Turok said — “deeply ambiguous.”
