Download a free audiobook version of "A Brief History of Time" and support TED-Ed's nonprofit mission: https://adbl.co/2NWYjAh Check out our full book recommendation: https://shop.ed.ted.com/collections/ted-ed-book-recommendations/products/a-brief-history-of-time View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/does-time-exist-andrew-zimmerman-jones The earliest time measurements were observations of cycles of the natural world, using patterns of changes from day to night and season to season to build calendars. More precise time-keeping eventually came along to put time in more convenient boxes. But what exactly are we measuring? Andrew Zimmerman Jones contemplates whether time is something that physically exists or is just in our heads. Lesson by Andrew Zimmerman Jones, directed by Nice Shoes.

can we just all take a moment to appreciate the amazing animation style here?
thank you.
Ikr, it's PERFECTION
I started the video and i just loved the animation first
I was just looking for a comment for that
sure , if you like Paw Patrol
That's what I said! Whoever drew this need to draw more cartoons!
"does time exist"
scientists:
yesn't
@Q u e u m b e r ew
@The Donovan I'm quite aware of that The Donovan, I don't think you understand the oppression aethiests are giving Christians and some things might be interpreted differently but in Christianity they would and should all still come from the fundamental basis of God's word
@ASDF Keyboard ASDF Keyboard God's word isn't specific enough to cover all areas of science. I'm a Christian, and I just choose to see things for how they are. The Bible gives the world a working foundation to build upon through science.
I'm well aware of a large majority of atheists who take it upon themselves to insult religion simply for the fun of it. Yes, it's wrong. No, it is not oppression.
People are allowed to have different beliefs, no matter which side they're on. Believe it or not, there are many tolerant atheists out there, so don't go lumping them all together.
@John Hamilton fist ting we need to do is go back to the real beginnings king james changed stuff in his version of the bible in hebrew it says at the start so at the start of what time is what is intended so everyone need to do some real research cause peoples been changing the real history to suit them selves on you are right yuhawa created everything in order not chaos ya i use hes name hope u find so truth in this just trying to help if you have any questions my email is norma.patterson@yahoo.com
my yuhawa bless you

time was invented by clock companies to sell more clocks
change my mind
If there is no time, then we'll be a still image.
@Jhunel Mullanida the only thing it proves is that "events" happen.. action, reaction, etc.. time is merely a human made concept to describe the relative rate of events interactions,, not an actual thing though
@Geno Time was just discovered. Before humans even discovered it, time was moving. We just named it. I think we have the same idea, no need to argue, maybe?
@Jhunel Mullanida it's like saying math was discovered.. but is math a force of nature, a physical entity of sorts? I don't think so, it's just an abstraction, nothing more.. a logical concept, just like time
@Geno Yeah, kind of. Math was just discovered too. Actually, we, humans, only discovers things. Everything was made for us, by god. You can tell, for science and math can't explain everything.
Teacher: you’re late to class Me: time is an illusion
Our perception of time is the (partial) illusion, but time itself is very real and is no illusion.
Teacher: And so are your grades, Mr. Philosopher. 😆
Ok Miles Morales
Me: time is relative ...maybe you start class early
Maybe times just a construct of human perception an illusion created by-
Meh meh meh meh meh mEH MEH MEH MEH
I believe time is a construct of the mind to understand change.
Dude you just cat flowered me you know that meme😲😲😲😲
The distinction between the past present and the future is nothing but an illusion - Albert Einstein
@Nakor Isilani One can also see time dilation as "proof" that time does not exist , and the reason beeing able to have a dialog with someone who live in a different reference frame of time. Example: For those onboard ISS time move slower then for us back here on earth, neither is actually ahead of the others time since we can have a dialog with those onboard instead a monolog. IMO, this is why Einstein says the past, present and future is an illusion. But i am not going to claim i am right on this issue, it just happens to be what i find most logical.
@heisag I think the reason we can have dialogue with astronauts on the iss in what appears to be real time, is because the dilation effect is so small at that velocity, as to be insignificant. However, if the iss was moving at even 25% the speed of light, we would find a marked difference in the time it takes for our communications to reach one another. If you take it further, and say they are moving at very near the speed of light, it might take eternity for a message to complete. Additionally, if they slowed back to our own velocity and returned to Earth, they would still be young, while we would have grown old and died. This physical consequence indicates that time is a very real part of the universe.
@Nakor Isilani Thank you for the reply, although i would have to both agree and disagree. Agreeing on the time dilation effect between earth and ISS is next to nothing, but still there. Upon increasing the speed difference, technical stuff would make communication trickier, possibly impractical when nearing light speed, agree as well. But if we for the sake of an example says the ISS had gotten a speedboost enough to make them one day behind compared to earth time, if they slowed down and the crew went back to earth, they should if time exist land yesterday and be stuck one day behind. IE, the watch on the astronaut says sunday the 11th and on earth a watch synchronized before takeoff says monday the 12th.
But as far as i understand it, not know it, when they landed, they would land, shake hands, whatever, and adjust their watches forward to current earth time and be back(well, forward actually) in the present time on earth. Almost like time is a very very very large rotating disc divided into sectors we call the present. We'll move at different speeds(and therefore also time) depending on our distance to stationary centre, but still share beeing in the present sector. Not sure if that made any sense. Hmm, perhaps time is multidimensional, i have to think about that for a little while, like a couple years or so.
Imagine everything Einstein would accomplish if he had today's technology.
@Jose Daniel great point made. It's really cool to wonder what all these great physicists and scientists could have discovered / developed if they had the current modern technology at their disposal. We also have to remember that the current technology has cut down a lot of time and automated some of the efforts for a lot of experimentations that were dealt with all manually by assistants and maybe the person themselves.
He wouldn't do much more than he did lol
誰でもいたくないのさ ther wouldn’t be atomic bombs
Honestly, I like all the different opinions every has. I always try to be open minded and see how other people think even if we don't share the same opinions.
without einstein we wouldn’t have todays technology

At 3 am
Why this is so on point!
Me after procrastinating for 5 hours:
Does time exist?
einstein reminds me of monopoly man
Shaunak Aswani reminds me of the dude on my Pringle’s can
Tony:
Sunrise, sunset, night and day
The changing seasons

Look at your hair grow
Isn't it strange how time makes your appearance change?
AEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
MAKE IT STAWWWWPPP!!!!! DX
"Maybe time is just a construct of human perception, an illusion created by-" "Myeh, meyh, meyh, Myeh, MYEH, MYEH MYEH!"
Teacher: your running out of time
Me: or am I?
* vsauce music plays *
When I'm late.
Teacher: You're very late.
Me: Does time exist?

if time doesn't you still late because "late"also means you missing something not just time that already passed
Teacher: You have to submit your assignments today.
Me: I have already finished and submitted it to you by next month.
If you 'travel at the speed of light'/ 'go near a supermassive blackhole', you can see it by yourself.
Mom: What time do you think to start studying ?
Me: Time doesn’t exists
1 A.M. and I'm sitting in bed thinking about life 🤔
I like macaron
its 4 am
Lol. Me right now. 😌
On the right tracl
I'm impressed
Yes time exist how else will I know when the pizza is ready to come out of the oven.. lol
I don't know why but I feel so comfortable while watching these videos.
Like someone is trying to teach me something special, very politely.
I totally agree. That's how even I would describe TED Ed videos. They're simply amazing~
His vocal sucks. I dont know why but it fuckin sucks
Questn teded: teaches politely
teachers at school: slam tests in your faces and makes you memorize it all
@chair what do you mean? Explain to me
They "are" trying to teach you something special,very politely!
I think this is clearly explained and,considering the question, that's an excellent achievement.
Me to curious me:

TED-ED: Is time real?
Me: confused screaming

"Our understanding of time starts getting complicated thanks to Einstein."
Thanks Einstein.
yay im the 1000th like😂
Our souls live and die: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGv8MMi8QO0 or do they....?
Time can exist and not exist in the same time because when you think about it time is a way to describe bodies and it's more complicated let's do it eazy time exist in math but in real life it's just something human invented to repeat recycles
Or the people Einstein stole the idea from
@Gr3nadgr3gory the reason we have 12 months isn't complicated. It was based on the 12 lunar cycles between any given season.
It gets a little more complicated with seconds, minutes, and hours though, because that's a time interval based on the swinging of a pendulum.
Me: time doesn't exist.
Also me: it's 4 o'clock in the morning I should stop watching this.
we need to genetically modify humans to have much larger brains.
I agee
More intelligent brains I guess. Blue whales have large brains too.
Of course I watched this when I'm in fact trying to beat a deadline
We're measuring Movement... Think about it
If every quark in the universe would stop moving it would appear as if time has stopped
Precisely. We are. We're also measuring temperature in the same token. If every quark stopped moving we'd get the textbook definition of 0 Kelvin (absolute zero). Every movement from there would change the temperature. Life is, then, subject to the laws of thermodynamics.
But if I move, the stationary quarks would appear to be moving.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the wonderful animation?
But wait, will the moment exist?
1000th like
for each our own, my friend.
Yes
@Anuj Soni ji nice theory, but i don't think it's true
Vsause music starts playing
Einstein, who wrote the song "Take on Me"?
1:03
so in that sense...everything that ever happened in past is still happening like still pictures
There is nothing as time it is a man made assumption to observe a set of phenomena and its how simple u can tell
Edit:tnx for like and I'm giving clocks for a like 🕐🕠🕕
Why would I want clocks if the time doesn't exist?
I'm happy to find at least one person who thinks that besides me.
@TheTIM333 to observe set of phenomena you need a reference and time fills it
@Nanook Rubs It thanks can you subscribe to my channel
Everything moves forward reaction after reaction.Time is just a human observation of this movement.
The animation is amazingly creative... hats off to the designer... loved it
Sure,it is. The only other YouTube channel that can outperform Ted-Ed in creating cute, picturesque animations is Kurzgesagt. They,too create some marvellously beautiful animations. You should check out their animations. They have a dedicated team of animators especially for making animations.
Yeah
@Nobody I much prefer Ted-ed's approach, giving different animators around the globe opportunities to help spread wonderful ideas creates a very wonderful atmosphere full of diversity and creativity. Something that makes Ted-ed very unique as a content creator.
Mustafa Ali Bohra
Agreed
+1
When you fall down in public and everyone is watching..time slows down.

"Einstein said time is relative. Maybe I'm not late, you guys are early"-Miles Morales
@Gregory Houser but we do know the age of the universe by measuring/ calculating the expansion and distant light
Sorry, time is not my near relative.
😇😇😇😀😆epic bro epic
It's just like saying," In an alternate universe, I'm-" and all that stuffs
No
time is how we measure the passing of moment.
This whole video is my showerthoughts and is keeping me waking late at night
ted executives: we got a time vid coming up, who's up for it
everybody turns to Zimmerman Jones
Zimmerman jones: not again
when i'm taking a test, then no
Let's put it simple. There's no time, just motion.
Time is just human made invention to keep track of motion.
If there’s motion then relative to it’s location, there was a TIME where it was in a different location.
@Auditory Productions because we can still see all the motion done by moon ,earth and other phenomenons like day and night.
@Shubhendu Singh Yea you should take me on your light speed tricycle someday I'd like to see those "physical ramifications" myself too.
@Nanook Rubs It You mean the increasing mass and the infinite energy to approach said speed ?
there is no motion without time.
Teacher: Why are you late?
Me: Sends video
Still me: Am I though?
Also see "Now: The Physics of Time" by Richard A. Muller. Great read.
4:13
I thought my screen was freezing up there for a second
me, waking up at 3am after going to sleep at 6 the night before: time is an illusion
1:14. 2 years late but still amazed by the Tron Easter egg TED-Ed animated. A really well-done animation btw :D

If time does exist, you'll probably want to read a brief history of it. Download a free audiobook version of Stephen Hawking's classic here: https://adbl.co/2NWYjAh! Every free trial started with this link helps support TED-Ed's nonprofit mission.

I was really excited to download a free audio version of Stephen Hawking‘s book. Then I saw that it was read by Michael Jackson. No thanks.
Carlos J - 2020-02-01
Time does not exist. It's just a measure of one event related to another well known and repetitive in order to for example plan or prediction. In daily human live is just the measure of how many times move the earth into its edge and around the sun, then is compared to a movement or event that occurs or is planned to occur in earth. But this little measure means nothing in the vast universe, where another bigger plants or events could be taken to make alike ratios, mesures and comparations. In universe just exist matter and forces that rules its changing properties. And there is only Now.
