Would he have been right if he said Dec 21 2012 like you thought it would happen?
I never said that the world would end on 12/21/2012, you stupid Obama lover.

How am I wrong? Are all the doomsayers wanting 2012 to continue like some bad episode of the twilight zone till the end of the world comes so your ilk can say 'see 2012 end of days'? Or are you saying 2013 can not come because the world is still here and i prepped for the end of the world with lots of guns and bibles?

I was joking.
Did you know that if you use your 1946 calendar, that it matches 2013?

Every time I hear of that story, it enrages me.

May 10th - Umberto II succeeds Victor Emmanuel III as king of Italy
Coincidence? I think not!

Time is dimensional, not linear, therefore assigning the numerical marker 2013 is pointless. You really need to think about this because God knows I haven't.

(whispering)....There is no such thing as time.
Im serious. Its a construct.

The dreamer in me wishes I could argue that because time travel would be the ultimate adventure. The reality is, you're right. Time is nothing but how we perceive experiences. Time is a linearly measurable dimension we constructed that cannot be traveled or manipulated.

Well said...I just KNEW I was going to get dumped on for making that statement of fact.

Traveled, perhaps, we do it all the time in dreams and such (yes yes, not physically), *manipulated* however, I dunno. We can't even really manipulate gravity, and we sorta understand more of it as a force.
Would you write off anti grav propulsion so easily?

Gravity isn't a perception.
If you look at what you think of as the "past" (the passed) and the "future", you will realize that they do not exist. Only the present exists, Our sleep cycles give the perception of "time" as do our memories and calendars and watches and clocks. The rotational cycle of this planet reinforces this perception of time as well. There is no real sunset or sunrise, there is just the Sun shining continuously with the planet rotating in its rays. Unlike gravity or matter or energy which do exist and are not perceptions (overtly that is).

I still remember how proud I was with my scientifically simpleton self when, years ago, a friend explained to me that time is dimensional in that it can't exist without space to measure it in and I sorta grasped what she was saying. (I'm sure I'm not explaining that properly so forgive me any mistakes there.) What I mean is that time is a unit of measurement for space. It can't exist outside of space. It can't exist as a sole entity (especially being a construct).
This knowledge puts the way you look at older calendar systems in perspective. They were not measuring time. They were measuring celestial configurations and cyclic events relevant to THIS planet. All of our timekeeping devices would be meaningless on Mars or even the Moon.
