Time Doesn’t Exist, Clocks Do.

Time is such a weird concept.  You know how you set your clock when it’s new or the electricity went off?  What do you use to determine what to set the time to?  Do you use your cell phone?  Your computer maybe?  After all, those are set according to some satellite or some other “official” time right?  There is an official time but what I think is funny is that we don’t always set our clocks to that official time.  We usually just try to match it up to something else we have and that may be wrong.  Why do you think that the time is always slightly different, depending who you ask, or what you look at (phone, computer, car, public clocks, tv, etc.)?  It’s weird.  It’s probably a few minutes off here and there so much that we don’t even really know what the REAL time is.  Which brings me to wonder if all of our adjustments have slowly brought us further and further away whether it be earlier or later than the REAL time.  It’s bound to happen right?  You constantly adjust something to the point where you are just completely off but you can’t tell because everyone else has done the same thing!  Perhaps my theory is wrong, but it’s just interesting to think about.

Another thing I thought about today during dinner was that it would be great if I could be in 3 places at once.  This way I can be doing all the things I want without losing what I’m currently doing now.  Although I’m not sure if what I’m doing currently now is what I want but I can’t just lose that because it’s what I’m doing now.  Confusing?  Yes.  So, it would be great.

I was watching Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban or whatever it’s called the other day with LA and there’s that part where Harry is at this pond fighting off the dementors and someone he sees across the pond is putting on that charm or shield or whatever you want to call it to fight off the dementors and that person is himself.  They had this charm thing (yeah I know, I’m bad at remember things in movies), that took them back in time.  I was so confused by how that worked.  LA was talking about time continuum and all that stuff and how you really can’t go back in time.  It just wouldn’t work.  It was an interesting thought.  I wonder what it would be like to do that – but I guess you can’t really because of the things that happen in the present.  Okay I don’t even know what this paragraph is about but it’s just interesting…this whole time travel thing.

Lastly, do you wonder what life would be like without clocks?  Is it true that “time” doesn’t exist and clocks do?  This whole post may be a complete contradiction to itself but I don’t know if it is and I’m not sure it even matters.  Could we live life w/o clocks?  I think that would be interesting and maybe nice…or would it?  I mean we LIVE BY CLOCKS.  People go to work/school/meetings/appointments all based on times.  You hang out based on a time.  You go to sleep based on time.  Everything is based on time..errrr..I mean the time on the clock.  What would it be like to just elimiate clocks?  Would we feel a little bit more free or would we feel completely lost without this structure of time?
