Does Time Exist? My Reasoning Explored

[eng_09]

Does time exist? I'm am not so sure it does.

my reasoning is;
1. time is a measurement of frequency of change of energy state.
2. controlled energy changes are constant, and don't vary, so if time existed we would see variations.

now I know that the twin paradox is the go-to for proving that time exists.
In the twin paradox, the traveler is moving close to c.
since e=mc^2, e must remain static.
I believe that to compensate for a static e value for each atom at immense speed, the atomic changes slow. So, atom change varies with the energy from speed, causing a slowed aging process at high speeds and a faster aging process at lower speeds.

So, basically i think that we have fooled ourselves into believing time. When all we are measuring is recognized energy changes, and it also allows for a measurement of our current energy state, especially since we are all on the same space rock, moving at the same speed.

I know I sound like sound like a mad scientist, and I am probably wrong about a lot of things, I would just like to know whether this makes sense or not.

no.

If you want to see many discussions on this subject, just do a search.

PS: you'll have to define what you mean by 'exist' and 'makes sense'...
