Sažetak
In this article, the author shows that time – or at least, what we usually mean by the term “time” – does not exist. That is to say, time is commonly understood as an active entity that inexorably “flows” through and “rules” over everything ; as something that “takes away”, but also “brings” everything ; it’s something that “builds” and “destroys”… such “time” is just like Chronos who is ticking away inexorably and rules over everything in the world. But such time does not exist. The first problem is already that the word “time” does not have a real and clear referent in the world. Its “referent” is in fact just our construct, so that without our “contribution”, without our mind/soul there is no “anthropological” (and anthropomorphical?) time. And if we change this concept of time with “time” as the measurement of the moving planets or the Sun, the Milky Way, or even the oscillations of caesium-atoms… we run into unsolvable problems with “time”. But, if we saw that such time does not exist and how it is constructed, then a lot of the problems associated with time would be solved.
