People have wondered for centuries; what time actually is. Physicists have found ways to incorporate the idea into physical theories. However quantum theory and general relativity, two incompatible theories have provided us with different notions of what time are. Perhaps a resolution to the incompatibilities of the two theories is a way to eliminate time altogether in much the same way that the notion of inertia was eliminated from early theories of motion (even though it is such an intuitive concept).
Things to think about:
(i) What role does time play in the mind?
(ii) Can we really assign a time in between thoughts (does time exist when there are no thoughts)?
(iii) How do we observe time in the mind?
(iv) How does this relate to universal time, if it exists?
