THE TIME-LIGHT ANALOGY

In the time-light analogy:
- The real time is similar to light (objective).
- The sensory time is similar to color (subjective).

The real time is the duration or permanence of things in a certain state or situation. The sensory time is the continuous succession of irreversible moments that goes from the past to the future. Moment is a mathematical concept, the time point. In the real time things happen sequentially. The real time flows in things (objects and phenomena). The real time flows in clocks, in the movements of planets and stars, in the life of a person (age), in an airplane in flight, in a song, etc. The clocks time is uniform and periodic.

The real time is universal and the sensory time is particular (of subject).
The cosmic time starts with the big bang and continues with the expansion of the universe.
