PHILOCHRONY IS A SCIENCE

A science is composed of true knowledge verifiable by experience. Philochrony proposes that time is magnitive and also proposes the Becoming-Duration Duality.

Magnitive time is objective, subperceptible and measurable. We verify the continuous succession of irreversible changes (becoming) that go from the past to the future through the present. Becoming is objective.

We verify that events have a start (before) and an end (after). The duration is subperceptible.

We also verify that watches give us an accurate measure of the passage of time.

As for the becoming-duration duality we verify that there is no becoming without duration and duration without becoming.

For a time I considered Philochrony as a theory, but that limited the study of Philochrony, which is the science that describes the nature of time and proves its existence.

Chronology and Chronometrics are disciplines of Philochrony

THE BECOMING-DURATION DUALITY

This is a revision to the concept of becoming-duration.

Time is the duration of things subject to change (becoming) that determines periods and epochs. The concept of time encloses those of becoming and duration. Becoming is the continuous succession of irreversible changes that go from the past to the future through the present.

Duration is the permanence of things in reality from a beginning to an end. This is the complexity of time. The becoming and durationc complement each other to constitute time. Becoming without duration is eternity. In watches the movement of the hands is the becoming and the numbers and marks are the duration.
Time is not only what we read on a clock, we must think about the concepts of becoming and duration.

A summary of time is that it flows (becoming) originating the different intervals (duration).
In conclusion, time is a duality: becoming-duration = time. Spacetime is a mathematical structure invented by Albert Einstein based on the equation t = d/s, where s is the speed of light or c.

TIME IN PHYSICS AND PHILOCHRONY

This is the first time that I relate Physics and Philochrony regarding the subject of time. For physics, time is what clocks measure (Albert Einstein). According to Wikipedia, time is the physical magnitude with which the duration or separation of things is measured. But these definitions are incomplete because, what do clocks measure? Time. With this we would fall into a vicious circle. In the definition of Wikipedia, what is duration ? For some physicists, including Julian Barbur, time is an illusion, it does not exist. Isaac Newton resorted to a metaphor to explain time. Newton said that time is like an invisible river in which everything happens. Physics is about material and tangible objects, and time is intangible. Time is imperceptible and unobservable to physical equations.

For Philochrony time is derived from the word interval. So time is the distance or separation between two sequential moments one of which occurs before and the other after. For this reason time is 1D sequential space.

It is already known that time is magnitive, that is, objective, subperceptible and measurable. It is objective because the intervals are real. It is subperceptible because we do not perceive the intervals at once, but we see the beginning before and the end after. It is obvious that it is measurable by means of periodic phenomena.

In conclusion:
Physics provides the tools to measure time, clocks. Philochrony proves the existence of time and provides a theory about its nature.
