  1. this is the best question from the last 2 mouths

    well I think they would lost the meaning of time until they land on a planet   like earth,where they will leave happily ever after  


  2. Time is a human invention. the earth would just exist in it's natural stages. If humans did not exist there would be no reason to have time, no other thing or being relies on it.

  3. "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to listen, would it Still make a sound?"

    Same thing B.B.

    Go figure!

    (one thing, however, "time" as we utilize it for our purposes, would cease, as long as there would not be another human left!)  

  4. No.  Time is infinite; there is no beginning nor end.  However, the measurement of time slows as you get further away from the sun.

  5. No, when the Sun dies though then time will cease to exist. At least in our Milky Way galaxy that is.

  6. No. Time is not a human invention, although measuring it is.

  7. Eau contrair, mon frer.  Time woudn't stop, it would start over again.  In space, time begins at liftoff. When the clock reaches 0:00 the ship leaves earth and time on the ship begins. That's how they know what to do when. By the amount of time that has expired since liftoff.

  8. If humans ( left ) the earth, would Time cease to exist?,,If humans (left) the earth time would follow them wherever they went..

  9. Time exists, has existed, and will exist, with or without humans. The value or measurement of time is what will change or stop. Time goes for every living creature, some birds fly by the location of the sun in the sky, their measurement of time, some plants bloom depending on the moon phase, etc. Animals hibernate in winter, their measurement of time. So time goes on, only how it is measured will change.

  10. Time would carry on darling. lol

  11. No.  One day would continue to be followed by another.

  12. Yes, time as we use it would cease to exist because time as we measure and use it is an abstract idea and exists only until there are no intelligent beings in the universe to measure it.  As it is, time and history is often measured in millions or billions of years, which is a number that no human mind could ever hope to comprehend or fully appreciate.  

    Presumably humans in your scenerio either no longer exist or have left.  If humans have left they would be measuring time elsewhere though it would not be relative to any creature living on Earth.
