THE DIMENSION OF TIME (RAO)

The dimension of time is the Referential Activity Occurred (RAO).

A dimension of space is the direction in which the length of a body or figure is measured. A 3D body has length, height and width. A coordinate axis has a horizontal line, a vertical line, and a transverse line.

The RAO is obtained from the measurement of the Earth movements: rotation (day) and translation (year). The time is the relation between a moment and a day. The date is the relation between a day and a year. All events and phenomena are referred to the RAO for their location in time. 

The facts of reality happen and pass, but the RAO remains. The RAO is the fourth dimension of the universe.

Note:

Time is the continuous succession of irreversible changes whose dimension is the RAO, from the past to the future.  Clock is the physical-mathematical representation of the RAO.

THE NATURE OF SPACE AND TIME

1) For Immanuel Kant, space and time are a priori categories of knowledge. Subjective time.

2) For the Theory of Relativity time is the fourth dimension of space.

3) Space and time are related because they are composed by intervals.

4) Space and time are objective and independent.

5) The space intervals are length and distance.

6) The time interval is duration, which is objective and imperceptible (magnitive).

7) Clocks measure time indicating when the intervals begin and when end (beginning and end). This is an objective measure; it cannot be an illusion. Although it is obvious, in one minute 60 seconds pass, in one hour 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds pass and in a day 24 hours or 1,440 minutes pass.

8) Time is the continuous succession of irreversible changes. Clocks measure time intervals or duration.

9) The proof that time exists is that we know for sure when an interval begins and when ends. Not in vain we celebrate the arrival of a new year, our birthday, etc.

TIME IS SELF-MEASURABLE

Time is the continuous change that occurred between a beginning and an end. Time connects two sequential moments (before and after). Time is the physical magnitude that measures itself (it is self-measurable). The time of rotation and translation of the earth was adjusted by nature (day and year). Man created and adjusted clocks to divide the day into hours (24), minutes and seconds. The observer only records the days, years and measurements of clock, but these are given by the nature of time. It is not as Aristotle thought that time does not exist if there is no soul to measure it.

In length and mass the observer intervenes in their measurements, but time is always being measured.

Now the magnitive time is: objective, imperceptible (intervals) and self-measurable. It does not need consciousness to exist.
