I found an article in a magazine called "New Scientist" and in this certain issue it talked about how time itself is not real, but merly a measurement of all the things in the universe, or at least this is how I understood it as. My interpretation of it was that verything within the universe would vast to measure, so time was just a way of measuring everything at once. Also, I am a little confused at what entropy is? Could you please explain it to me.

Thank you for the advise, I shall keep that in mind when I try to conclude all of the information I have gathered.

Thank you for your point of view! Your opinion is greatly appricitaed and will help me with my coursework.

So, we see time differently to each other but experience it in the same way? Does this mean that time is perspective that changes speeds depending on what you are doing or if you are pre-occupied?

Now I understand. I misunderstood what you ment by Subjective. So everyone experiences time in a different way? I also struggle putting thoughts into words. So, you are saying that there is a past and future? So does this mean time exsists?

Thank you for the advise. According to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusion; “An illusion is a distortion of a sensory perception, revealing how the brain normally organizes and interprets sensory stimulation. While illusions distort reality, they are generally shared by most people” Your opinion/point of view on time is a very interesting one that I have noted because I have not heard any one with the same view on time before! If there is an "infinite now" does that mean that you belive that there is a past or future, or is everything now and in the present?

So you believe that time exsists inside your head and so therefore does not really exsist in real life. So, why do we have this concept of time in our head?

I am a 16 year old student from Admiral Lord Nelson School currently studying AS Publicunderstanding Science. I have chosen to do a peice of coursework on the question; "Is Time An Illusion?" I am posting on this forum to gain as many people's opinions as possible. I would be grateful if you could reply to this stating what you believe time to really be and if possible any evidance for this. To answer "Is Time An Illusion?" first of all you first need to know what an illusion is. According to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusion; “An illusion is a distortion of a sensory perception, revealing how the brain normally organizes and interprets sensory stimulation. While illusions distort reality, they are generally shared by most people”
