THE ENCHANTED CHAIN

This title is a metaphor to refer to the relationship between becoming, duration and time. The first link, becoming, are changes in reality. This is a property of the universe. The second link is the duration, which are the intervals between two sequential moments. The third link is time or measure of duration. Duration is measured based on periodic phenomena. If the second link were missing, it would be eternity and time would not exist.

Albert Einstein tried to add a fourth link to the enchanted chain: space-time. But space-time doesn't exist physically, it's just a mathematical structure. It's hypothetical.

Notes:
1) A moment is a point in time without duration. It's like a photograph.
2) Periodic phenomena are those that are repeated indefinitely and with the same duration.
