What is time?

Was YESTERDAY (or indeed, the PAST) a REALITY?

Why you calls it "the present moment" of yesterday?
No such thing

NOW is Now. Even after saying this NOW will still exist in your experience. Now exists, The past doesn't exist but only exists in your mind, also the future doesn't exist. So whats reality?

But did yesterday happen?

That was my question when I responded to the proposition that "Time is an illusion - and that -The only reality is the present moment." I am assuming this means yesterday is not a reality.

So, I repeat my question in another form: If yesterday is not a reality, did it happen?

Or, even more provocatively, if the past didn't exist (as you say), did it happen?

Did Socrates factually exist or is he a mere figment of our imagination?
[An illusion as presentism suggests]

And what does photograph actually display if past is an illusory?
 
So, let us define TIME (my version).

Example:
DSM and Dodoma are two (physical) cities in TZ. DSM is not Dodoma and vice versa. Now follow very closely the analogy that comes next, in a way of defining TIME:

Distance (in kms or miles) is the METRIC that measures the physical separation between DSM and Dodoma.

By the same token,

Time (in hrs or days) is the METRIC that measures the temporal separation between yesterday and today.
 
hongereni mleta uzi na wadau mliochangia,me nilitaka kusema"time is all you see,perceive,experience and do from birth to death.lakini nikajidoubt mwenyewe mana sijui chochote kuhusu when life does start(is it after birth or before birth when someone is still in their mothers womb?) i dont know much about life before birth & life after death.sina maana ya kutoka nje ya mada ila namaanisha hii mada imenichallenge vya kutosha(sijapata jibu langu reliable),lakin nimepata mengi toka kwenye comments.
 
Mda ni wazo dhahania lenye kubeba nafasi na utofauti wa fikra, mada(matter), na uwazi wa tukio moja hadi jingine.
Mda ni nafasi mbadala ya matukio kwani bila tukio mda ni vigumu kuupima, lakini mda hauendeshwi na tukio bali vyote huenda sambamba (parallel),
 
swali kama hili nilishawahi kuuliza humuhumu but for my answer muda ni uwepo/uwepo wa space/nafasi.
huwezi kuhesabu muda kama hakuna space,kutokana na kuwepo kwa space ndio maana tunahesabu muda lkn kwa uharisia muda haurudi nyuma wala hauendi mbele.
do you get me..?
