Question: Is time the beginning of man or is man the beginning of time!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Since time is what we call it and how we measure days Man is the beginning of time!. Really there is no time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

loaded question, you give two alternates and yet neither of them are correct!. it bellies your understanding of time in terms of humanities understanding of time and assumes that prior to understanding, time did not exist!. time being the fourth dimension!. if time did not exist prior to man then nothing would exist as the fourth dimension is essential for objects to move through space!. without the ability to move through space humanity would not exist!. reality would just be a still photo!.

to further cement your understanding i will say this!. Understanding something does not create that thing!. humanity as a whole does not understand what reality is and yet it remains around us!. reality did not begin with man and niether did time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

THERE IS NO TIME!

Cutting edge theorists are arguing that time may not exist!. One example:

So if your question is (expressed mathematically):

(T≤M)V(T≥M)

Then if T~0 the answer to your question is yes!.

Otherwise, if there is time then the answer is no!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

man(as in humans!?) is just a blink in time man did not start time!.!.!.but over time humans evolved which is time i guess!.
