IMPORTANCE OF EXACT TIME

Relation between becoming, duration and time.

1) Becoming is the continuous and irreversible occurrence of changes delimited by a beginning and an end. The becoming is perceptible. All phenomena and processes are part of becoming.

2) The magnitude of the becoming is the duration (intervals). The perception of duration is subjective and very inaccurate.

3) Time is the exact measure of duration. Over time we have a precise (mathematical) idea of the duration of things.

The becoming-duration duality is the structural basis of time. Although the becoming is perceptible, time is imperceptible and objective (magnitive). Without becoming there is no duration and without duration there is no time.

Humanity has gone through the three stages of this variable: Becoming represented by Heraclitus of Ephesus. Duration represented by Aristotle and time represented by Christiaan Huygens who invented the pendulum clock.

Note: This is the return of the concept of becoming to Philochrony since September 2020. This modifies the conceptual content of parallelochron.

IS TIME IMPERCEPTIBLE AND MEASURABLE?

Some people have questioned me that if time is imperceptible it cannot be measurable.

My answer is that we perceive the changes, but not the intervals. For example, we do not perceive an hour but each moment that constitutes this period.

On a clock we see the movement of the hands, but not any interval.

This is part of the explanation of the magnitive time, which is objective, imperceptible and measurable.

It is necessary to differentiate between time (magnitude of duration) and its measurement (visible on clocks).

Note:

Philochrony is also called the Theory of the Magnitivity of Time.
