In the spirit of absurd threads about how "gravity" doesn't exist or the "Earth is flat," which I assumed were parodies; I would like to present my argument that time does not exist and it's all a conspiracy by the people who make clocks. It goes something like this: Scientists, clocks and your own brain would have you believe "time" exists as a forward series of events. But that's an illusion! Time doesn't exist like this at all. I don't know how it really works, but obviously it's a conspiracy by the clock-makers to bring in massive profits measuring something that doesn't even exist! Unplug your alarm clock, then you go to sleep the world stands still! Sleep as long as you want. Time doesn't exist. Don't let sundials fool you.
Fill a cup with water. Drop that cup. If time doesn't exist you could expect the cup and all the stilt water to jump back into your hand.
Clocks are fashioned in sync with the sun ie. days and nights. Much the same way calenders are in sync with the year. You dont have to believe in the measurement of time for clocks to fullfill their purpose. We all get to choose our beliefs however if you know what the word means it would be absurd not to believe in the passing of events, or chronological order.
People tend to confuse time measurement with "time" itself. We know that there is a linear nature to existence which can be proven my molecular decay. We also know that some things in the universe don't have a fixed temporal reference and other things are simply outside the realm of our ken.

You realize I was being satirical because of the stupid threads about Flat Earth and no Gravity, right?
1500 members of these most excellent fora are familiar with UA as it has been explained on pages 1 through 3 of ''I refuse to believe in gravity''
I suppose you are talking about cause and effect, the forward direction of time. For satirical purposes, I don't believe in those concepts.
The earth being flat is a reasonable and perfectly logical theory, this nonsense about time not existing is clearly an attempt at trolling.
The "Earth being flat" is absurd. The moon is round, the sun is round, all the planets are round. Go visit an observatory and look through a telescope at another planet. It's amazing how wrong you are.
Just watched a current Richard Dawkins special. Time was integral in his summation regarding how god cannot possibly exist, with the basic jist of...nothing can exist in a black hole, including time. Time is something I have spent far too much time mulling over.
