THE NATURE AND MEASUREMENT OF TIME

Time has two distinct aspects: its nature and its measurement.

Time is the interval between two sequential moments, one of which marks the beginning and the other the end.

Time is magnitive. Magnitive denotes the ineffable quality of time—that it is objective, sub-perceptible, and measurable. The term magnitive is derived from the word magnitude and the suffix -ive.

Time is measurable thanks to periodic phenomena—events that recur consistently with the same period. The movements of the Earth, for instance, serve as examples of such periodic phenomena.

Philochrony represents the nature of time, while Physics represents its measurement. Physicists have drifted away from the nature of time due to their extensive reliance on mathematics (Calculus). Indeed, some physicists have even gone so far as to conclude that time does not exist, simply because they cannot visualize it within their equations.

INTUITION AND NIRVANA

Intuition is the exalted mental process through which new knowledge is obtained. Nirvana, in some regions of India, is the state resulting from liberation from desires, individual consciousness, and reincarnation, achieved through meditation and enlightenment. 

The main goal of Buddhism is to attain the mental state of Nirvana. Buddhism is a philosophy, not a religion. Both processes begin with reflection and lead to enlightenment. 

Meditation is the mental and physical practice aimed at achieving a state of relaxation and deep concentration. Buddha means the enlightened one. This is the name Siddhartha Gautama received when he attained enlightenmIent.
