An alternative interpretation of the consequences of Special Relativity

 

Does Time exist in any real sense?

 

There is no direct evidence that time is actually part of the fabric of the universe. It is probable that human beings dreamt up the notion of time as a convenient way of 2 or more people being in the same location to share a task. For example an agreement for 2 people to meet for a hunt at sunrise on the bank of a river next to a large rock is in effect a synchronisation of the event of sunrise with 2 people and a unique geographical point on the planet. The human notion of time serves the purpose of accurately synchronising events for a species that owes much of its success to organised cooperative behaviour.

 

 

If time does not exist we need to think again about the consequences of special relativity http://whatswaving.weebly.com/an-alternative-interpretation-of-the-consequences-of-special-relativity.html

emphasis added

 

How can you speak of a synchronization and at the same time contend that time doesn't exist? You have a unique geographical point (i.e. designated in 3 spatial dimensions) and yet the meetup will only occur of some other criterion is met, which makes it orthogonal to the spatial dimensions.
