Is time real, or is it just a social construct that only exists within our brains to measure chain reactions in the universe?

These are two different things, and no to both, see special relativity where the physics of fast-moving objects are significantly more accurately modeled when considering a temporal dimension in addition to the spacial dimensions.

Time is just a social construct you bigoted shitlord. Don't impose your temporalnormative standards on me.

d f(t) / dt is not always equal to zero.

Looks like time exist

EVERYTHING is a mental construct. Time is no different than any other measurement.

Time dialation has to be factored into GPS system calculations for GPS to be accurate. Gravity on earth effects time enough that it needs to be factored into the equation. So yea, time effects non-sentient signals sent to satilites. Its real.

Time is a 4-dimensional hypercube, which only appears to be moving because our brains are used to 3 spatial dimensions; but if we could interpret all 4 dimensions, we would see all of time and existence as a single, completely stationary 4D space-time hypercube.

You're asking if the events would keep happening in an order without observers?

I would say yes.
Why wouldn't they?

>> No.8143620

Suppose that it is a construct: how would you justify planck time (that is, a limit)?

agreed

it's a measurement, not a tangible thing, so if you consider measurements as real, then sure.
