The place where you were born is millions of miles away from where you are now. The place you are now is many miles from the place you were when you first started reading this post.
If there is no time, then you must have been in two places at once. That means your body is millions of miles wide, you were dead at the same time as you were alive and you were drunk at the same time as you were sober. There is no experience, so experience points are an error, therefore there is no elite. I spent many years playing elite. If there is no elite, i get those years back so therefore time exist.

The "flow" of time might be attributed to human perception, but even if you view the universe as an unchanging four dimensional whole the time dimension is special.

The universe is not linear, our perception of it is, this is what we call time. That does not mean it exists.
The universe is changing, there is even suggestion that the speed of light has changed since the first structures came into being.
As it says in the dictionary time "the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future"
The problem with that is there is nothing to stop me recreating the events of yesterday exactly as they were, today; how would you know the difference?"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

I've always thought that the day mankind overcomes the engineering challenges to build a craft to reach such distances you'd find a little label that reads 'made in China'"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
