Time, some've said, is an illusion. There's even a few arguments that purportedly demonstrate that to be a fact.
BUT, what IS 'time', EXACTLY, which 'it' could then be 'an illusion'.
See, what the 'time' word means or refers to, to me anyway, is NOT 'an illusion' AT ALL. But what a LOT of 'you', people, mean or refer to as 'time' is CERTAINLY 'AN ILLUSION'.

Guru Google will take you to the right cyberspots in case you're interested.
We can do this!
No, we can't!
We can!!
How on earth can we ...??!!
This is not earth!!
You're a one-of-a-kind on this forum
This forum is a very TINY place.
And, what you ACTUAL mean and/or are referring to here, EXACTLY, ONLY 'you' KNOW "agent smith".

; my ignorance, which is vast, forbids me to say more.
Okay, BUT this just sounds like an EXCUSE for 'you' just NOT being Truly OPEN and Honest here. Also, BLAMING some 'thing' ELSE for ESSENTIALLY 'your' OWN DOING, or for 'your' OWN LACK OF DOING here, is NOT going to help 'you' in ANY whatsoever.

That's the beating heart of philosophy as far as I'm concerned.
'What' IS the so-called 'beating heart of philosophy', EXACTLY, as far as you are concerned?

Legends speak of
sophos-es, they who've tamed the Antichrist.
BUT, UNTIL 'you', adult human beings, have been 'tamed' the 'antichrist' was NEVER 'tamed'. And, at the rate 'we' are going here and at what 'you' ARE DOING and SHOWING here 'that taming' is still quite some way off.

As for time,
Age, all I can say is that time as we know
Who and/or what does the 'we' word here refer to, EXACTLY?
From as far as I can tell 'we' to 'me' here is VASTLY DIFFERENT from 'we', to 'you', here.

it is simply (to stick ma neck out for the executioner's axe) a convenience as opposed to a hard (perhaps painful) fact.
I am NOT sure if you read, and/or comprehended, when I SAID and WROTE, above here;
what a LOT of 'you', people, mean or refer to as 'time' is CERTAINLY 'AN ILLUSION'.
But you NEVER sought ANY CLARITY, AT ALL, in regards to what 'this' MEANT so you may well have completely and utterly MISUNDERSTOOD or MISINTERPRETED what 'this' MEANS, EXACTLY. And, from what you have SAID and WRITTEN here you may well have.

Others, higher up on the ladder of knowing,
There is NO 'ladder of knowing' NOR ANY 'higher steps of knowing'.
EITHER one just KNOWS some 'thing or one does NOT. And, if ANY one does KNOW some 'thing', then they could EXPLAIN 'this KNOWING' to ANY "other" who, OF COURSE, is Truly INTERESTED in LEARNING, and KNOWING, of 'this thing' AS WELL. For example when one KNOWS the ANSWER to ALL the Truly, and literally, MEANING-FULL questions in Life, then that one could, and would, EXPLAIN ALL-OF-THIS in the G.U.T.O.E., that is; to those who are Truly INTERESTED in LEARNING, KNOWING, and UNDERSTANDING 'THIS'.

have said the same thing in far better and, hardly needs mentioning, clearer terms.
'Time' is JUST 'the measuring of the duration between perceived events'. 'Time', it could be said, literally started with the placing of a stick into the earth and 'measuring the movement of a shadow'. Which, by the way, 'light' is what original devices for 'measuring duration' originated from, EXACTLY. 'Time' is in reference to light and/or the speed of light, and when incorrectly called 'time travel' 'comes to pass', or 'comes to fruition' for 'you' lot, then what was, or is, found was just that traveling faster than the speed of light was all that it could for 'that kind of travel' to happen, and occur.

Take a gander at this: 0, 1, 2, ...
What could that sequence be mapped to?
The number of 'things', like apples, for example.

I'm not gonna hold my breath for your answer.
Were 'we' expected to hold our breaths WAITING for your answer to my question I posed and asked you, which WAS:
What IS 'time', EXACTLY, which 'it' could then be 'an illusion'.
