I meant that the future exists potentially in the present. For example, a seed is a potential tree, a child is a potential adult, and a piece of wood is a potential chair.
Before magnitive time this was ineffable. We only knew him by his measurements. Time was only a magnitude. Magnitive time is an objective but subperceptible magnitude. In magnitive time we know time in all its aspects. In the becoming-duration duality, time is related to change, not to space. Space is static, time is dynamic. Space and time are related in speed: s = d/t. Einstein multiplied the speed of light by the distance to say that time is a dimension of space. Spacetime is a mathematical structure invented by Albert Einstein. Einstein had to spatialize time to develop his theory of a four-dimensional space.
AFAIK space is not static, but it is durable. Might that be a better identifier? And while time may be called dynamic it is not causal. Therefore, can we identify time as being dependent on the dynamics of the associated action ? The faster the action the slower the time. The slower the action the faster the time. At SOL time stands still, at complete Stasis time passes infinitely fast?
As I understand it, Space is the place or void that contains bodies. Space is not matter. Objects move in space. Space is characterized by having an extension in three dimensions. A point in space serves as a reference to a movement.
I don't believe that is quite correct. Einstein did not speak of space as a timeless void, he spoke of an object that inflated after the BB and the beginning of "spacetime". This unfolding object is full of stuff. I believe that Bohm spoke of a separate underlying timeless, dimensionless, permittive condition, a true void that accommodates this expanding spacetime object. And I like this new interpretation of an "unfolding spacetime fabric" proposed by Renate Loll, et al. To avoid cluttering your thread I have opened a new thread in Alternative Theories.

THE NEW PARALLELOCHRON Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! The past and the future are real because they point the direction of the time flow. The present is the vertical line that crosses time.
THE TWO NATURES OF TIMR In hand clocks we see time pass, occur, happen, elapse or become. This is the continuous succession of irreversible changes that go from the past to the future through the present. That is the first nature (N1) of time. The second nature (N2) of time is duration, intervals, or periodic events. Duration is the interval between two sequential moments, one of which occurs before (start) and the other after (end). In the hand clock, an interval is completed when the minute hand passes twice through the same point on the clock face. This is a periodic event. But this second nature of time is sub-perceptible because we only see one event at a time: the beginning and the end. The movements of the Earth are the N1 of time and the day (24 hours) is the N2. This is the enigma of revealed time, two natures: becoming and duration, which confirms the becoming-duration duality. In summary, time is the length (N2)) flowing (N1) of phenomena Time is defined as the duration of things subject to change that determine the periods and eras.
