Actually I misspoke here. Science knows that after you die you decompose. What science can't explain is what happens to your consciousness, or even what consciousness is.

i'm not trying to be an ass, but the whole idea of time existing depends on a perception.


we didn't have time travel novels until the thinking about time changed (for a fun think about kind of thing that's not related to the points)
I'm agreeing with you that the measurement is arbitrarily based on the Earths revolution around the Sun. Going back in time is easy, look in a telescope - you're looking back in time. Going forward on the other hand I won't even bother with. Time does exist, in the same way that space exists, without time there would be no reality. Time is that fourth dimension that is part of the medium of reality.

r00t if you have a point, make it. No respectable scientist would claim that we the human race know more than we don't.

Unless I am mistaken the 4th dimension that is being referred to is time. For shit to move time has to pass. Example - speed can be represented in meters per second, or distance/time. The distance part is where you move through 3d space (vector). The time part is how fast you are moving over a given distance. If time were truly subjective it would be impossible to get a speeding ticket.
