Is time a social construct?

>>2984669
Yes.

>>2984669
"Time" isn't, our measurement of it is.
Decimal day soon.

>>2984669
Time is change, there was change before any life was on this planet, so no.

>>2984669
Yes.

>>2984784
This. Time is merely the sequence of happenings, and it's speed varies on space. It's just that we can't develop a quantitative system to measure it on a fundamental level.

You're retarded and no nothing of atomic clocks. Most of you probably did your undergrad in something soft like biology.

Time is just the quantification of movement. A rotation of the earth on itself is called a day, around the sun a year, for example.

that's a question of the same vein of "is light photons or waves" thing

>>2984669
time as used and referred to socially is of course a social construct. So the word and the connotations thereof are, for example.
that doesn't mean that time didn't exist or pass before sentient society existed though

>>2984669
Is it possible that there is only future and past and no present?

>>2984669
Understandings of time certainly are.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopi_time_controversy

The Hopi time controversy is the academic debate about how the Hopi language grammaticalizes the concept of time, and about whether the differences between the ways the English and Hopi languages describe time are an example of linguistic relativity or not. In popular discourse the debate is often framed as a question about whether the Hopi "have a concept of time", despite it now being well established that they do.
The debate originated in the 1940s when American linguist Benjamin Lee Whorf argued that the Hopi conceptualized time differently from the Standard Average European speaker, and that this difference correlated with grammatical differences between the languages.[1] Whorf argued that Hopi has "no words, grammatical forms, construction or expressions that refer directly to what we call 'time'", and concluded that the Hopi had "no general notion or intuition of time as a smooth flowing continuum in which everything in the universe proceeds at equal rate, out of a future, through the present, into a past".[2] Whorf used the Hopi concept of time as a primary example of his concept of linguistic relativity, which posits that the way in which individual languages encode information about the world, influences and correlates with the cultural world view of the speakers. Whorf's relativist views fell out of favor in linguistics and anthropology in the 1960s, but Whorf's statement lived on in the popular literature often in the form of an urban myth that "the Hopi have no concept of time".
