It looks analog to space and spatial dimension: we can compare the extension of different bodies in space, how much larger are ones over others. And yet we cannot proof that space is subjective or not. | |
| Jan 15, 2016 at 14:11 | comment | added | Eric | If time is a quantity we use to compare events as you said, isn't it already subjective in some sense? Anyway, I think the most we can say is something like "it is coherent to say time is subjective/objective in this theory/framework about how the universe and mind work". | |

| Jan 15, 2016 at 13:44 | comment | added | Eric | I agree that physical laws say little about time. I tend to think direction of time is like color, it stubbornly looked like part of reality until we find out it's just the way we are built to perceive the world. | |
