ABSTRACT
The term "existence" has very often been confused with "essence." Essence delimits an object by its definitions; but even an exhaustive description of all its properties does not imply that the object really exists. Time passes and one would expect that the lapse of every additional day would bring day closer and closer to the day of one's birth, to the point where the two days will coincide. Time is not an independent parameter. People cannot imagine velocity without time. Velocity is the time in which a moving object covers a certain distance. There is no movement without time, and in the absence of time all the objects would be at a standstill. The alternative is that there has been a time-interval, a duration between the moment time came into existence and the moment when the world came into existence.
