Is Time Real or Imaginary?
Do you believe that time is a real, absolute property of the universe or just a concept to explain how we experience change?

Time is real, but only man has measured it. We govern our lives around the Solar motion. As the universe is expanding, then time is Linear, for time to reverse, the universe must contract. So, time exists, only it wouldn't exist if we didn't measure it.

I would follow Einstein on that one and say that time is based on the movementchanges between objects.
Einstein and time.. I would also be very happy with a real time though..

Time itself is artificial. There is change, and aging, but time is used only to measure these changes.
It would be similiar to a yard/meter. They exist inasmuch as we can perceive it, but it only exists because we have a method to measure them.

If you can relate to time, then it is both real and imaginary.

I agree with both poll options. Time is a real dimension, but our perception of it is an abstraction produced entirely in our own minds.

There are some cosmologists/physicists that say time doesn't exist, and some that say it does. Real or illusion, take your pick.
