THE FUNDAMENTAL MAGNITUDES

A magnitude is the quantity of a particular property. The fundamental magnitudes are: length, mass and time. According to their nature magnitudes can be: physical, geometrical and philochron. The length, mass, force, speed, etc. are physical magnitudes. In geometry are magnitudes: length, area, volume, pi, angle, etc.

The adjective philochron means:
- relative to Philochrony
- All last, long or short, but last.

Thus we say that time is a philochron magnitude because this is the magnitude of the duration. Time is not a physical magnitude because it is not tangible.

Let's consider the following relation:

ELEMENT     PROPERTY     MAGNITUDE
space           extension        length
matter         mass               weight
becoming     duration          time
