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.
