THE TIME TRILOGY EXPLAINED

In the previous topic we talked about dualisms and trilogies. We said that the becoming-memory-duration (B-M-D) is time. But it is not that time needs the consciousness of the subject to exist but that time is made up of a past, a present and a future. The past along with all units and measures of time are recorded in memory. If we had no memory we would live in an eternal present. We would not know the changes.

Aristotle was referring to memory when he said that time needed consciousness to exist. He knew the importance of consciousness in processing time, but his mistake was to think that time does not exist without an observer.

Magnitive time is objective, subperceptible (memory) and measurable.

We know that phenomena have a duration because this is recorded in memory.

DUALISMS AND TRILOGIES

 DUALISMS AND TRILOGIES

The becoming-memory-duration (B-M-D) trilogy emerges from the becoming-duration duality, augmented by memory as an intermediary element situated between becoming and duration.

Becoming is the continuous and sequential occurrence of changes or phenomena. Duration is the interval between a beginning and an end within this becoming—the span between the "before" and the "after."

Memory is the brain's capacity to encode, store, and retrieve information, experiences, and feelings from the past. Through memory, we arrange phenomena into a sequence. Were we devoid of memory, we would exist in an eternal present.

All units and measures of time are recorded within memory, thereby serving as a link between becoming and duration.

Other dualisms include: light (wave-particle), the human being (body-soul or mind), and—in the field of computing—hardware and software. Other trilogies include: the atom (proton-neutron-electron); in religion, God (Father-Son-Holy Spirit); the spatial system (Sun-planet-satellites); the mind (conscious-subconscious-unconscious); and the family (father-mother-children).

GENERAL RELATIVITY IS FALSE

General Relativity, published in 1915, was Albert Einstein's mathematical attempt to explain gravity. He asserted that gravity is not a force. Einstein did not win the Nobel Prize for his theory of Relativity because the person assigned to review it did not understand it. Spacetime was a mathematical contrivance devised by Einstein to explain gravity. Gravity is a force composed of particles (gravitons) that have not yet been detected. Special Relativity, published in 1905, deals with the physics of the motion of bodies in the absence of gravitational forces, in which Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism were rendered compatible with a reformulation of the laws of motion.
