time doesn't exist.....

Time is relative. It drags out when doing stuff that is boring or just a waste of time. However it flies by when doing something that is relevant and enjoyable.

Even physicists say stuff along these lines, time is not constant and is relative to your position and motion.

In regards to human lifespan, yes 80 years or so is a blip in the big scale of time since whenever. However I really think humans are going to start living for much longer in the not too distant future through breakthroughs in new medicial science based cell therpapy and other innovations. Who knows, maybe there is someone alive today who might be alive in 500 years? It won't immortality as such but will be more of a case of the doctor telling an 80 year old there is a treatment that will give them the heart of a 60 year old. Then in another 20 years, telling the patient with the 60 year old heart there is a treatment to give them the heart of a 40 year old.
If this happens it will be the biggest change in human history. Suddenly we will have the time to do whatever we like, perhaps work hard and save money for 50 years, then have hundreds of years to enjoy it. Perhaps have two or three careers of 100 years each. Societies could become more conservative and less wasteful. Birth rates will probably plummet too as we realise there is no huge need to have children to continue our legacy or keep the gene pool going.

Quite right Doc.
Time is an illusion created in the mind. The past and future only exist in the mind.
