i hate those deliberate "no fucking chance" questions. i.e., when did elizabeth taylor have her first facelift? A 1968 B 1969 C 1970 even richard burton wouldnt know. |

|
|
you can make an extensioin of descartes cogito ergo sum, apply it to memory therefore giving meaning to time through conscience then history is a result of trusting existance. ñe |

history = interpretation of past events time = arrangement of events simply put: if an interpretation is relative (which it is, of course), the concept of time can still exist |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but even the concept of time is a concept, and therefore an interpretation of reality? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's a big fat F you just got yourself there. |

But if there is literally no physical difference between a moving and a non-moving arrow in any given discrete instant, then how does the arrow know from one instant to the next if it is moving? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how do we know the arrow knows anything? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
We don't know what the arrow knows or whether the arrow knows anything. For all we know the arrow knows not of what we know or it knows everything of what we know of what it knows. |

i withdraw the statement |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

but the concept of time has no meaning the way history has. if the Germans would have won WOII, the historical meaning of WOII would be totally different. the events describing WOII could be totally different, but the space and time would be exactly the same. on the other hand, if you travel with the speed of light, it would be possible that sequence of events could be rearranged from the observer's point of view. not sure, though. nevertheless, the relativeness of history doesn't implicate that there's no such thing as time.

but time is very relative - everyone has had moments when it feels like 'time flies' or when time seems to slow down. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's a difference between psychological/perceived time and physical time. light travels with the same speed and takes the same amount of time to travel a certain distance, no matter how long it 'felt'. |

i didn't say the relativeness of history implies no such concept of time i said if all history is relative. which it isn't. which makes the initial statement neither correct nor incorrect, but a mere discussion point, metaphysical in its solipsisticality. there is nothing to 'prove', and you've just fallen into the old over opiniated holier than thou trap which makes you look like a bit of an idiot. my F comment was mean to be lighthearted, i was merely suggesting that you would've failed had you written that answer down in an exam or on a paper. i could pick holes until the cows came home in all of what you've said but your unpleasant remark and your own misguided convictions that you already know everything makes it a rather fruitless exercise really. |

o, i took the F comment lighthearted actually. funny that you give me a 'lighthearted' grade, where you say i fall for the 'holier than thou trap'. i don't think i'm the only one with misguided convictions here... if you could have picked holes in what i've said, why didn't you? this ad-homini thing is pretty pathetic, actually. o, and to come back to your point: i don't see the difference between " the relativeness of history" and "all history is relative", but that's just my holier point of view...apparently but hey, you're right, relatively speaking |

IF all history is relative. i'm not saying it is! IF a THEN b. im really sorry, very little of what you say makes any sense to me but anyway most of my last post was a trumped up joke, parodying know-it-all idiots, i do that all the time. and the initial post wasn't even meant to engage any fruitful kind of debate, i posted it while i was drunk, and it is a reference to a comedy show from 15 years ago about always getting a bastard hard question on those quiz machines when you're just about to win some money. sorry. |

time is, time was, and time will be. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought time was all relative. I'm pretty sure history isn't. I mean, if history was relative then it wouldn't really be based on fact (or would it?) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
then my relatives are history |
