TIME: 1D SEQUENTIAL SPACE

First, time is the 1D sequential space created by the continuous succession of irreversible changes bounded by a beginning and an end. The changes go from the past to the future through the present creating the 1D sequential space 1D SS). You might think that the ES 1D is an illusion, but it is objective and it is what the clocks measure.

A time interval is a 1D sequential space created by the succession of changes. The beginning and end of the changes are the frame of reference in ES 1D. The measure of the ES 1D is the length of the interval. Time is done on changes, which are its indicator. In ordinary 3D space (3D EO) the points are fixed, static. Objects move in it. The coordinate axes are the frame of reference.

Although the concept of space is used to explain time, these are independent entities. As we have already seen, the points of space are static and the changes dynamic. Time is a continuous doing, changing.

In conclusion:

1) Time is equal to ES 1D (subperceptible), but different from changes (perceptible).

2) ES 1D is the nature of time.

PHYSICS OF TIME

Physics is the natural science that describes matter and energy and their relationship to space and time.

Changes are the indicator of time. An indicator is the device or signal that communicates or reveals a fact. Changes are characterized by having a beginning and an end, which is an interval. Time measurements are based on periodic intervals, so time is a physical quantity. 

We observe time through changes, so time is subperceptible (magnitive).

The consequences of the greatest magnitude or amount of time are aging (humans), growth (plants), material decay, disorder (entropy) and the replacement of the old by the new. This is the Law of the passage of time. 

In addition to being magnitive, time is irreversible. It is this principle of irreversibility that prevents travel into the past.

Intuition is the method I have used to reach conclusions in Philochrony.

BEYOND TIME AND DATE

This is a revision to Philochrony's approach to time.

Every day we handle the measurements of time: the time and the date  But what is behind the time and date, and in general the measurement of time? Time is the duration of things subject to change delimited by a beginning and an end. Time is a physical quantity because it can occur in greater or lesser quantity. Let us remember that time is magnitive because it is objective, subperceptible and measurable. With the measurement of time we have an exact notion of the time elapsed or that which is about to elapse. If it were not for the measures of time each person would have their own measure and there would be no consensus on the time that passes.

Time has always been measured with uniform periodic phenomena, such as the motions of the Earth and the Moon. The invention of the clock and the calendar are the instruments that have most influenced the life of man in societies to be more organized.

The philochrone person is one who understands and accepts the ideas set forth in this topic.

DIFFERENT OPINIOMS ABOUT TIME

I insist on the issue of time because there are many people (1) who think that it does not exist because it is not perceived. Another group (2) of people believes it is an illusion. And a third group thinks it's a dimension of space.

1) It is true that we do not have a sense to perceive time directly, but we do have an subperception of it. We have a perception of one moment now (A) and then another moment later (B). Between A and B there is continuity or connection.

2) The dimension of time or River is an illusion not time itself. It is necessary to differentiate between the objective time and its psychological dimension.

3) Time flows in only one direction, for this reason it cannot be a dimension of space. We go through the dimensions of space in two directions. In addition, a four-dimensional space cannot be represented.

When we listen to a song we notice that it has a duration (beginning and end) and the succession of sounds (voice and music) is continuity. To deny the existence of time is to deny the existence of phenomena and processes.

THE RIVER THE DIMENSION OF TIME

 The river is the dimensioin of time. But this dimension is an illusion caused by becoming and duration.

"An illusion is the perception or misinterpretation of a real external stimulus. For example, seeing something that looked like an animal but when we see it well there is only vegetation, or interpreting a shadow in a dark street as if it were a person." From: Wikipedia

For Isaac Newton "time is like a river in which everything happens". For Albert Einstein "the distinction between past, present and future is only a persistent stubborn illusion". Both Newton and Einstein referred to the River, but without identifying it as the dimension of time but as time itself.

The past and the future are illusions as Einstein thought, only the present is real. The River is represented in the parallelochron.

Although the River is an illusion it gives us information about the difference between the past and the future. Aristotle thought that time depended on a consciousness that records it. Philochrony, with the River, unifies the ideas of Aristotle, Newton and Einstein about time.

In conclusion, we must differentiate between objective and real time (present) and its subjective dimension, River (past and future).

THE END OF ELUSIVE TIME

 The End of Elusive Time

For a long time I have been reading and hearing that time is an elusive concept, that is, it cannot be grasped or apprehended. But with Philochrony the concept of time has ceased to be elusive to become a manageable concept.

The ideas of magnitive time (See topic of March 17, 2022), the parallel-synchronous (February 25, 2022) and the three states of time (March 26, 2022) have made it possible to apprehend the concept of time. With these ideas we freeze the concept of time and we can analyze it thoroughly.

Although it is paradoxical, time explained by Philochrony is out of time

TIME: CONTINUOUS PERIODIC PHENOMENON

The qualities of time are its three states: becoming, duration and cronometry. These qualities make time a phenomenon like any other in nature. What makes time enigmatic is that it measures itself and cannot be controlled. The duration of non-periodic phenomena refers to the time for their measurement. Some examples of non-periodic phenomena are: the fall of rain, the life of a person, a song, a movie, an earthquake, etc.

Time exists in all periodic phenomena such as Earth movements and clocks. There is a video on Youtube  that is titled: Time does not exist and I show you it in 11 minutes. It is a contradiction to pretend demonstrate that time does not exist in a certain period of time.

Elvis Sibilia, Florida, Estados Unidos

THE NATURE OF TIME

For some, time is an illusion, it does not exist. For others, time is the fourth dimension of space. The truth is that the nature of time is not an illusion or a dimension of space. The dimensions of space are traversed in two directions, time only flows in one direction: from the past to the future through the present. 

For Philochrony time is the continuous succession of irreversible changes that occur in an interval (duration). Chronometry is the possibility of repeating the intervals. In this sense, chronometry is synonymous with periodic. In this definition the three states of time are present.

Although it is obvious I must say that in an hour the minute hand of the clock makes a complete turn of the dial of this device.  The movement of the hands is the becoming, the hour is the duration and the repetition of the hour is the chronometry. The hand clock is the best material representation of time.

The nature of time is tripartite: becoming (perceptible), duration (subperceptible) and chronometry (intelligible). The nature of light is a duality: wave-particle.

The true nature of time contradicts the ideas and theories put forward so far. 

Time is measured with a position in space, but it does not mean that space-time exists. The hour is a certain position of a point on Earth in relation to the rotational motion. The date is the position of the Earth in relation to its translationamotion.

THE METAPHYSICS OF TIME

Of the three states of time: becoming, duration and chronometry, only becoming is physical. Becoming is the continuous and irreversible succession of changes that go from the past to the future through the present. The becoming is perceptible.

Here the word metaphysics is taken in its literal meaning: beyond physics, not in its philosophical sense: the study of being.

For this reason duration (subperceptible) and chronometry (intelligible) are metaphysical. Duration is the interval between two sequential moments.

Due to its nature, time is magnitive. Magnitive and metaphysics of time are synonymous terms.

Physics can explain becoming: changes and movement, but it cannot explain duration or chronometry. The Metaphysics of time explains its three states.

Clock and Calendar are metaphysical tools because in them we do not perceive the duration but only obtain a measure of it.

In general, Philochrony is the metaphysics of time.

THE TRIPARTITE PRINCIPLE OF THOUGHT

The tripartite principle of thought or TPT consists in looking for the three elements, forms or states in which beings and objects are composed.

From the post #364 I bring the following examples of the TPT:

1- In Philochrony the three states of time: becoming, duration and chronometry.

2- The three states of matter: solid, liquid and gaseous, in Natural Sciences.

3- God with his three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in Religion.

4- In Psychology, with the conscious, the subconscious and the unconscious, as states of mind.

5- In Politics, the State presents three powers: Executive, legislative and judicial.

6- In Philosophy knowledge has three forms: concept, judgment and reasoning.

Other new examples are:

7- The space is composed of three dimensions: horizontal, vertical and transverse.

8- In Physics, sound is composed of three qualities: tone, intensity and timbre.

9- By the way, three are the hands of a clock: hour hand, minute hand and second hand.

10- The past, present and future are the three stages of time.

THE THREE TIME STATES

The tripartite principle of thought.

Just as matter manifests itself in three states: solid, liquid, and gaseous, time also manifests itself in three forms: becoming, duration, and chronometry. Becoming is the flow of time that goes from the past to the future passing through the present. It is perceptible. Duration is the interval between two sequential moments. It is subperceptible because we see the moments separately, one before and the other after. Chronometry is the measure of time. It is intelligible. These three time states coexist in a clock. Also in the parallelochron the three states of time are represented.

Other examples of the tripartite principle of thought are: God, with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in religion. The conscious, the subconscious and the unconscious in Psychology. In state government we have three branches: Executive, Legislative and Judicial. In philosophy, knowledge has three forms: concept, judgment, and reasoning.

THREE QUESTIONS TO MAGNITIVISM

Magnitivism is the doctrine that opposes Presentism in relation to the existence of time. 

1) Why is magnitive time objective?

It is objective because the intervals are real. The beginning and end of phenomena are real.

2) Why is it imperceptible?

It is imperceptible because we do not perceive the intervals or duration (start-end). If we walk for an hour we have seen the passage of an hour (becoming), but we do not perceive the hour in an instant in its entirety. This is the quality least understood by readers. In a day we see the sequential changes that the rotation of the Earth generates (becoming), but we do not see the duration of a day. 

3) Why is it measurable?

We measure time by counting the intervals of natural periodic phenomena (day and year) and artificial ones (clocks). This measure is expressed and accumulated with the units of time.

Elvis Sibilia, Florida, USA

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.

Elvis Sibilia,Florida, USA

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.

ARISTOTLE, KANT AND EINSTEIN

Is time subjective or objective?

Aristotle from Estagira (IV century b. C.), Emmanuel Kant (XVIII century) and Albert Einstein (XX century) are three very influential theorists who offered their opinions about time. These thinkers have had many followers throughout history.

1) For Aristotle time depends on a consciousness that records it. Subjective time.

2) For Emmanuel Kant, space and time are a priori categories of knowledge. They are subjective.

3) For Albert Einstein the distinction between past, present and future is only a persistent stubborn illusion. Subjective time.

4) The truth is that the magnitive time is: objective, imperceptible and measurable. Imperceptibility makes some people think that time is subjective. But to be measurable (clocks) time must be objective.

The passage of time manifests itself in changes, material deterioration and aging.

DEMONSTRATION OF THE TIME EXISTENCE

1) Question: Does time exist?

2) Hypothesis: Yes, it does. Time is the sequential distance between two moments

3) Reasoning: In space two points A and B are separated by a line (length). In time two points or moments A and B are separated by a sequential interval.

Logically:

- It is A (beginning)

- It is not A (duration)

- It is B (end)

4) Conclusion: The existence of time is evident.

This demonstration is universal and objective. It is verified everywhere and at any time.
