True only i dont think they are illusions they are useful tools to be able to experience everything we created. If I could explain everything at once I would get bored real quick, time is fun, hope is fun, the illusion is that this is real life when its all about game. Just like Mario 😉

[aaron13547]

Thanks for the mho! but I dont know I deserved it, with the mistakes a made. Autocorrect hi-jacked me a bit there... Glad you could decipher it.

[MrChinaski]

Time is God's way of stopping everything from happening all at once.

[msc545]

Brilliant.

[AI Opinion]

That line from the Mario movie is more poetic than factual 😊

In physics, time is treated as a real dimension, measurable and consistent in equations. But in philosophy, some argue time is an illusion created by our consciousness, similar to how hope is a mental construct.

So it’s not simply true or false. It’s more a metaphor about how fragile and subjective our experience of reality can feel. ⏳💭

Lily is right for once. What are the odds?

A more accurate statement would be that at this moment two fundamental things in this universe, time (half of spacetime) and gravity (a fundamental force), are poorly understood by humans.

There is current work being done on a theory proposing that time has 3 dimensions like space... an X, Y, and Z vector. It may be that there are dimensions of time that humans are not capable of perceiving just like we can't detect UV or infrared radiation with our 5 senses.

So time may not be an illusion but certain elements of time may be "invisible" to us so we think of time as a single linear vector because that's all we normally experience.

It could be that space is actually an emergent property of 3 dimensional time and we should be calling it TimeSpace instead of SpaceTime.

Fun stuff.

[RandomGirl42]

Time is an illusion like others have said here 'cuz I don't believe it is linear. We only ever have now. And hope is an illusion in the sense that we are telling ourselves we want something we don't have when we have everything we need but we just often don't see it.

The secret to a happy life is having a happy moment but most people are so busy chasing a happy life they don't notice the moment.

[MontBlanc]

False.

Time isn’t really an illusion, it’s more like something we experience through perspective, not something we can fully control or step outside of.

Hope might feel similar sometimes, because both only “exist” in how we perceive things but I don’t think that makes them unreal. It just makes them deeply human.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Do you really think you should be taking advice from the emo luma?

[Simslover92]

Nope. Not really.

[PolarPoint]

You know what? The future, past, and present all exist at the same moment, so we can say it’s an illusion.

[exitseven]

Nope, Time Runs like a Freight Train

Hope purs your kind and body into a state where action is more likely while despair puts barriers on action

[abc3643]

Hope doesn't involve the Third Law of Thermodynamics. Time does.

[abc3643]

Second Law of Thermodynamics... cut me some slack... I took that class 43 years ago.

[NathanDavis]

such a great time... when you're with someone that makes it feel timeless..

[NathanDavis]

you reminded me of a song...

[thegreenyogi]

True. Time is a thing that controls our lives way too much in my opinion.

[RavVid]

Time is very quickly spent so thinking you have lots of time is an illusion.

[loveslongnails]

If it's an illusion, why am I aging and why are we all dying? LOL

[Xawyx-2]

No, I think time is real, and even some hopes can be eventually achieved.

[msc545]

I think time is a construct, but it is not an illusion. Although it could be illusory too, actually.

[LiamJHayden]

They are both relative, but I do not think either is an illusion.

[Smegskull]

We don't know. It could be emergent, fundamental, or illusory. We really don't havr a greate way to define it.

[Nikki1989]

False, obviously.

[WhitneySnow]

Hope is not an illusion. Neither is time.

[Cute_User513]

I agree!

[Jennz6]

I don’t like your “True or False questions

[Zionne]

its really true

[Bklynbadboy12]

Its true

[Grilo]

I dunno

[Leakyfriend]

Whattt?
