Time May Not Exist.

Very off topic today, but I like science and philosophy so here it goes:

I don't believe in time as a reality or real thing, time is only a convention. A bunch of people agreed on that convention because it made stuff easier, just like inches and pounds are conventions. But it isn't real as in real. It's as real as a fragment of our imagination. Think about it, what is time? the reason Buddhists say: "live in the present, that is all you can do" is so true, because there only is a present. Every moment is the present, a moment ago it was the present and when you finish reading this text, it will be the present again, defining past and future is only fragmenting it and basically unnecessary to it's fundamental concept.

I got inspired by this piece of text below, it clearly says what I felt for a long time, As the Buddhists might say: It's all right here, and right now.

No one keeps track of time better than Ferenc Krausz. In his lab at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany, he has clocked the shortest time intervals ever observed. Krausz uses ultraviolet laser pulses to track the absurdly brief quantum leaps of electrons within atoms. The events he probes last for about 100 attoseconds, or 100 quintillionths of a second. For a little perspective, 100 attoseconds is to one second as a second is to 300 million years.

Efforts to understand time below the Planck scale have led to an exceedingly strange juncture in physics. The problem, in brief, is that time may not exist at the most fundamental level of physical reality. If so, then what is time? And why is it so obviously and tyrannically omnipresent in our own experience? "The meaning of time has become terribly problematic in contemporary physics," says Simon Saunders, a philosopher of physics at the University of Oxford. "The situation is so uncomfortable that by far the best thing to do is declare oneself an agnostic."
