Does time exist?

My purpose is to achieve the unification of criteria regarding the nature of time (magnitive).

So what is the nature of time ? To you

For me the nature ( the essence ) of time is the movement of objects .

That is very superficial, you should go deeper.

The magnitive time or the principle of magnitivity. Post #1791.

There is nothing superficial about movement .

All things are based on movement .

 

THE GOAL OF PHILOCHRONY

Time is a physical magnitude that affects all reality, but we do not have a specific sense to perceive the intervals. This makes each person get a different idea about the nature of time. There is no consensus on what time is.

For Paul Davies, a third of thinkers believe that time does not exist, another third believes time exists and the other third has doubts.

The goal of Philochrony is to achieve the unification of opinions on the nature of time. The Principle of magnitivity complies with this purpose.

 

The thing is nobody gets to the essence of time , what is the foundation upon which time is based . Which is of course movement .

And that is a truth .

So ask any Paul Davies ( I have one of his books ) or anybody to get to the essence of time .

They haven't done this hence the confusion and opinion about time .

Once done , there will be no further confusion about what time actually is .

 

Does time exist? Ask me in a minute.

 

Sure

Time is the measurement of movement .

Something(s) is and/or moving .

 

Every time I ask, it has been some time. It's a different time.

 

You and I have always talked about the same thing, only that we have used different terms: movement and changes.

 

I guess it exists then...

 

Your both right . But here is the difference between both of you and me , about time .

For me , Time has no efficacy in terms of the movement of anything physical in the Universe . Time is a measurment based on physical movement(s) of things . Therefore time in terms of the Universe is irrelevant .

Time for both of you is based on the ordering , or measuring this movement , which is called time . Seconds , minutes , hours etc . Of the hour , day , week , month etc. No problem .

So we are not really talking about time in the way .

Time is irrelevant to the Universe ; but not to our ordering of our lives . ( world time zones ) .

 

PROPERTY OF MATTER PROLONGATION

Matter has the property of prolonging itself in space (extension) and of prolonging its existence (time). Matter extends in the three directions of space: vertical, horizontal and transverse. Elasticity is the property of some bodies that regain their extension and primitive figures as soon as the action that altered them ceases. Other extensible objects are: an antenna, a cane and a table.

Time is the continuous and irreversible prolongation of the changes or phenomena that go from the past to the future. Duration is the measure of time. Examples of time are: the prolongation of the day (time), the prolongation of the year (date), the prolongation of the life of a person or of any natural being (age), etc.

The expansion of the universe in space is due to the property of prolongation of matter.

Why time is magnitive?

I have talked a lot about the magnitive time, but I have not answered the previous question. First, time is measurable because you can accurately divide an interval into equal parts. Second, time is objective because events have a beginning and an end independent of the subject. Third, time is imperceptible because intervals are sequential. We only see a moment at a time.

 

THE DIMENSION OF TIME AND EVENTS

A dimension (in Geometry) is the direction in which a body can move in space or an event happens in time. One hour into the future is real, but without known events. One hour to the past is real, but events do not exist anymore. Time exists in the future and in the past, but events only exist in the present. We know that tomorrow will occur inexorably (dimension), but we do not know what events will occur. If we travel to the past or to the future, we would cease to exist. Because of this it is not possible to travel in time. In clocks we see a periodic phenomenon that occurs in the present.

Isaac Newton said: "Time is like an invisible river in which everything happens." The invisible river is the dimension of time.

In conclusion, time is composed for a dimension (real) and for events occur in it.

EVENTS
---------------p-------------- > dimension of time
..... past ............ future
p is present

 

THE TIME TRAIN

The time train (TT) is the metaphor that explains the nature of time.

1- The TT only has one locomotive (it only travels in one direction).
2- Tracks of TT are the dimension of time (past and future).
3- The TT does not have exterior view (there is no reference point).
4- All changes occur inside of the TT.
5- The TT does not make stops (time is continuous).

We all travel on the time train.

 

What is the Nature of time to any object ? Just to the object it's self .

 

An object experiences external changes (moves, changes in appearance) and internal changes (molecular and atomic changes).

 

HARD, SOFT AND MIXED MAGNITUDES

A magnitude is the property of beings that can be measured. The hard magnitude is one that resists change. For example: length, mass, inertia, gravity, etc. The soft magnitude is one that puts little resistance to change. For example: time, temperature, acceleration, etc. Mixed magnitudes are those that are composed of a hard and a soft magnitude. For example: speed, force, etc.

Time is a soft magnitude because it increases continuously in value. The temperature is a soft magnitude because it can increase or decrease in value. Acceleration is the increase or decrease of speed.

Formulas
Force of gravity: F = G (m1.m2 / d∧2)
Speed: S = d / t
Force: F = ma

 

My answer: 1.

Time is objective at least for machines. This is proveable as follows. Set the computer in motion of installing a program then go for a walk, When you come back you find either the computer is still busy installing or the program will be installed. So time must have continued for the computer while not being observed.
