SAINT AUGUSTINE AND PHILOCHRONY

Saint Augustine said: "If nobody asks me what time is, I know, but if they ask me and I want to explain it, I don't know anymore." We all experience what time is, but it really is not easy to understand, and of course, it is not easy to imagine a world without it, since it would be a world without a present, without movement and without rest.

Physics teaches us that time is a fundamental magnitude and that it is relative. But Physics does not tell us what is the nature of time.

Physics manages time in relation to the movement of bodies in space.

For Philochrony, time is the sequential occurrence of phenomena delimited by a start and an end. The change-interval duality, the magnitive time and the parallelochron explain time.

Saint Augustine was aware of the existence of time, but He did not know how to explain it.
