its not just a human thing - its a living thing , other creatures that live on this world prepare for winters , prepare for night time , prepare for summers
migration , hibernation , etc etc they know that time exists and make plans accordingly - it may not be to our level of understanding but it is still evident

yeah and what is time - we measure time by our day and night , our seasons and our orbit of the sun. the difference being is that we have divided them up into small chunks , give them fancy names and discovered a way to meausure it
going back 2000 years when we looked at the sun / stars / seasons - what made us different from the animals?
as far as i can tell you are saying that the universe has no concept of time - well the universe isnt alive is it - the rock in my garden has no concept of smell but it doesnt mean things dont give off an aroma
[edit on 2-9-2004 by acidhead]
animals sleep at night since they dont hunt at night or feed (some animals live at night "nocturnal" and some dont. When it gets dark - do you think animals say..erm, well its 8 pm must goto bed now? no! other animals more geared for night hunting take over.. a kinda night shift thing.
the universe started from a minut space - which has been expanding ever since - but we use the "time" word to expalin the vast distance galaxys have travelled in that period. therefore - the universe is expanding - but the time its taken to do this - is measured in a form we understand - "time"

we use the term "lightyear" as a measurement of vast distances because it makes more sense than writing down for eg. 123112477787845425298342394829384 killometers

Time travel is impossible. If only for the reason that the energy required to restore the universe back to the state it was in at the time you wish to travel, would be 2X and we only have X to work with.
