TIME: UNIVERSAL CAUSE

Time is the universal cause that generates both the processes of the microcosm (in atoms and molecules) and the processes of the macrocosm (in planets and stars). We understand time by the effects it has on living beings. Time is the cause by which living beings bb be, that is, they develop, move, and some beings replace others. 

The consequences of the passage of time are: 

1- Aging (there is no rejuvenation). 

2- Material deterioration. 

3- The replacement of the old by the new. The flow of time from past to future obeys the law of irreversibility. This law does not allow time travel. In biological processes, living beings are born, grow, multiply, become adults, age, and die.

WHAT IS DURATION?

Duration is the central concept in Philochrony. Duration is the permanence of beings and their changes in reality in a given place or state. Duration is the becoming delimited by a beginning and an end. Duration can be periodic or simple. It is periodic when something happens every certain period of time. In a body at rest, there is becoming because in matter there are changes at the atomic level. Time is to duration what length is to extension. Time is the amount of duration, and length is the amount of extension. 

On a digital clock, the second is the pause of the digits, the minute is the pause made by the digits on the minute hand. On the hour, the digits on the hour hand change. In other words, the pause of the digits is duration, and the numerical increment is becoming. This becoming is periodic. The ancients intuited time through the periodicity of certain natural phenomena, such as the movements of the Earth and the Moon.

 In conclusion, time is the physical magnitude that continually increases in value due to the duration of beings.

CHRONOLOGY AND PHILOCHRONY

Etymologically, Chronology is the science of time. But in reality, Chronology is a method of ordering events by date. It is an aid to history. Chronology does not study time, nor has it ever done so. The true study of time is Philochrony. Philochrony is the branch of philosophy that describes the nature of time and demonstrates its existence. Chronology is based first on the Julian calendar and then on the Gregorian calendar. Chronologies are represented by a straight line where events are placed according to the date they occur. 

Unlike Chronology, Philochrony classifies beings according to their duration: Eternal, enduring, perishable, ephemeral, and fleeting.

 A) Eternal things have no beginning or end, like space. For believers, God and paradise are eternal. 

B) Enduring things last a long time. They are divided into:

 - Centennial, if they last between 100 and 999 years. For example, the fir tree and the saguaro cactus. 

- Millennial, if they last from 1,000 to 999,000 years. Sequoia trees. 

- Millionaire, if they last more than a million years. Geological eras, the life of planets and stars.

 C) Perishable things are short-lived, lasting from one day to 99 years. The life of a human being.

D) Ephemeral things are short-lived, a few hours.

 E) Fleeting things are very short-lived, a few seconds or fractions of a second. The blink of an eye and the beating of a heart.

BENEFITS OF PHILOCHRONY IN OUR DAILY LIFE

In  addition to having an objective vision of time, Philocrony allows us to:

1- Not despair when waiting for a future date.

2- Not let negative experiences from the past affect us. We treat these experiences like a dream or a nightmare.

3- Be aware that the qualities of time are becoming, duration, and periodicity.

4- Be aware that time is not a dimension of space. Space and time are independent.

5- We do not perceive time directly, but we have a sub-perception of it. But it is not an illusion.

6- Be aware that time travel is impossible.

7- Be aware that time is irreversible; it only flows from the past to the future.

8- It is more relaxing to wait for an event for a week than to wait for an event for a month.

9- Philocrony helps combat Alzheimer.

10- It helps us establish a diary and an agenda.

MEASUREMENT OF TIME

Time is measured by counting periodic intervals. Periodic intervals are phenomena that repeat in the same order and have the same duration. This is proof that time exists objectively and is not an illusion as some believe. Time is also not a dimension of space because spatial dimensions are static while time is fluid. The measurement of time is a mathematical process. With the movements of the earth, we measure years and days, and with clocks, we measure hours, minutes, and seconds.

Duration is the becoming delimited by a start and an end.

In conclusion, time is the physical magnitude that continuously increases in value due to its becoming and that is used to measure the duration of things.Time is a sub-perceptual magnitude because we only perceive a succession of irreversible moments. We perceive intervals mathematically through measurements.

THE PHILOCHRON RELATIVITY

Philochron relativity is based on the ideas of Philochrony. The theory of relativity includes both special and general relativity, formulated primarily by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century. These theories sought to resolve the incompatibility between Newtonian mechanics and electromagnetism. The special theory of 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 made compatible with a reformulation of the laws of motion. The General Theory of Relativity, published in 1915, is a theory of gravity that replaces Newtonian gravity, although it numerically coincides with it for weak gravitational fields and small velocities.

In Philochrony, time is defined from a mathematical point of view as the physical quantity that: 

1- continuously increases in value due to becoming,

2- slows down due to high velocity, 

3- but continues to increase in value. 

Time is not a dimension of space, as relativity posited. Space-time is a mathematical trick devised by Albert Einstein. Einstein reasoned by solving for time in the equation V = d/t. 

Philochrony's Equations of Relativity: 

Tn = D/Vl (Tn is normal time, Vl is low velocity) 

Ts = D/%C (Ts is slowed down time, %C is velocity at a certain percent of the speed of light).

Albert Einstein was so focused on including acceleration and gravity in his theory that he inferred the concept of space-time from the equation V = d/t. In short, Philochron Relativity states that even though time dilates at high speeds, it still increases in value. In 1921, Albert Einstein was not awarded the Nobel Prize for his Theory of Relativity because the person assigned to revise it did not understand it and considered it to be flawed.
