What would you say is the opposite of time?

SW-User
I'd say photography! It freezes time and allows us to go backward. The more forward in time we go, the more backward a photograph brings us.

@SW-User Yeah I liked it too! And a few others I found. But I thought I'd say what some of the knuckleheads on here thought too.
SW-User
@Allelse Yeah, fair enough!
@SW-User Very interesting concept. Thanks for posting. I'm enjoying it.

Some have come close here.

Nothingness is a good concept. But it incomplete. On the rims of the universe is nothingness. Whether the universe is expanding or contracting it matters not. At the very edge there is nothingness. Yet by the fact that the universe is not a stasis that means that time exists even there.

Another has said a dot and even gives references explaining everything is representated with in that. Yet isn't that more a representation of all of time?

My concept is void. It is more than nothingness and total opposite of everything. It is, was, will be and never is. Forever outside of totality, before the beginnings and long after the very ends. Think of it as a dimension without dimension.

That is what I believe is the opposite of time.

@DeWayfarer Good answer! Thanks.

Start with perspective, the physical world uses time to discern processes and their effects. So the opposite would remove processes and their effects and take a linear plotting of events and change the perspective from that line to a dot with everything stacked on that dot happening all at once. Which is how Padre Pio described how God sees things. So if you prayed for an already deceased love one to experience an easy death, God would understand and ease the suffering of that loved one while in our timeline they had already died.

@Steve42 I liked the first bit but you lost me with the religious stuff.
Steve42 · 56-60, M
@Allelse It was a vehicle to illustrate the point.

@Steve42 After a second and third read it began to hit abit further. Thanks though.
There IS no opposite of time. In order for there to be an opposite of something, that something has to exist, and time is just an idea - a game we made up. It's always now.

Death. Because, depending on your beliefs it either sends you to eternity or to nothingness
Allelse · 36-40, M
@antisocialbutterfly Not at a bad answer, getting closer I think.
Nothingness.. we invented the concept of time to explain the relationship between events. The opposite of time is not having time but not having time would imply there's no events for time to explain.. so nothingness.

Work, when there is work, there will be no time
Something that is not measured

Immortality?
Allelse · 36-40, M
@SW-User Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Because the notion of time is beginning and end, but to be without time is to be immortal? Is that what you're getting at?
SW-User
@Allelse Well, if you’re immortal you pretty much make time your bitch.
So... sure!
SW-User
The lack of time.
Allelse · 36-40, M
@RenaissanceMan Present then eh?
@Allelse yes. time is a human mind construct. it exist because most think it exists. some say we live moment to moment....then i would ask..what specifically exists BETWEEN those moments? that cannot be experienced. all there is, is NOW.
Allelse · 36-40, M
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Not bad, we're getting closer I think.
