One moment is shattered by another

DOES TIME actually exist? As far as I've learned, technically it doesn't. Well, at least not in the mathematical way we've created.
In technicality, there is a space between one point of existence and another, but ALSO in technicality the only time something really exists is in this very moment.
Trust me, I'm aware of how much of a mind-boggling subject this is, and that it's very hard to comprehend for some (if not most).
I haven't really taken the time or the effort to create an independent theory about the space-time continuum like I have with the existence of an energy as opposed to a God, and maybe if I do take the time out of my next holiday, the two theories may come together to create something that makes total sense, and, who knows? I might just be on the verge of a breakthrough.
The other night I overheard a man debating with my dad and a group of different people about different subject regarding the general existence of every thing that is and why things are the way they are, and one of the subjects that came up during this debate was the mechanics of time.
This man argued that each moment in time always physically existed, and had the possible potential to exist during the existence of another moment in time, but there was a cycle that prevented this from occurring that physically destroyed each previous moment in time.
To me, this sounded a bit far fetched, but still quite engrossing and interesting none-the-less.
He went on to actually to attempt to explain his theory using a cup as an example. He spun the cup in his hand as he explained to us that this cup only exists in this very moment, and in technicality the same cup didn't exist in the previous moment, and would cease to exist once that moment's cycle was completed.

To this day I still believe that theory is a bit far fetched, but still feasible.
If you can, leave a comment voicing your thoughts on this theory.

  1. Perhaps time is just a human creation as a way to mark events in relevance to other events. Perhaps time is anything the individual perceived it as. Time could be used as a way to mark events also. The calendar and clock system was developed in order to be able to recognize certain points of the day or year (Both of which are always cycling though the terms are human made. They would still exist even if humans didn't, however they may have a different name or no name at all.), they are able to give you a measure of time however these measures were made in amounts that work out to be able to be used in a cycle. The numbers add up, and at the end of the year there is no measure extra or missing. If you focus on something time can seem to go by quickly, if you are board time can seem to go by slowly. Despite this the distance between events is the same, however how it is perceived is different. Perhaps time is used as an explanation of why things happen; age, decay, growth, etc.

  2. isnt time just a human way of telling our earth rotations and orbits? just for telling when things will happen rpetty much?.......its kinda both lol we "name" it time and it does exist if you think about it in a way xD

The world is meaningless,

there is no God or gods, there are no morals, the universe is not moving inexorably towards any higher purpose.
All meaning is man-made, so make your own, and make it well.
Do not treat life as a way to pass the time until you die.
Do not try to "find yourself", you must make yourself.
Choose what you want to find meaningful and live, create, love, hate, cry, destroy, fight and die for it.
Do not let your life and your values and your actions slip easily into any mold, other that that which you create for yourself, and say with conviction, "This is who I make myself".
Do not give in to hope.
Remember that nothing you do has any significance beyond that with which you imbue it.
Whatever you do, do it for its own sake.
When the universe looks on with indifference, laugh, and shout back, "Fuck You!".
Rembember that to fight meaninglessness is futile, but fight anyway, in spite of and because of its futility.
The world may be empty of meaning, but it is a blank canvas on which to paint meanings of your own.
Live deliberately. You are free.
