ARISTOTLE, KANT AND EINSTEIN

Is time subjective or objective?

Aristotle from Estagira (IV century b. C.), Emmanuel Kant (XVIII century) and Albert Einstein (XX century) are three very influential theorists who offered their opinions about time. These thinkers have had many followers throughout history.

1) For Aristotle time depends on a consciousness that records it. Subjective time.

2) For Emmanuel Kant, space and time are a priori categories of knowledge. They are subjective.

3) For Albert Einstein the distinction between past, present and future is only a persistent stubborn illusion. Subjective time.

4) The truth is that the magnitive time is: objective, imperceptible and measurable. Imperceptibility makes some people think that time is subjective. But to be measurable (clocks) time must be objective.

The passage of time manifests itself in changes, material deterioration and aging.

DEMONSTRATION OF THE TIME EXISTENCE

1) Question: Does time exist?

2) Hypothesis: Yes, it does. Time is the sequential distance between two moments

3) Reasoning: In space two points A and B are separated by a line (length). In time two points or moments A and B are separated by a sequential interval.

Logically:

- It is A (beginning)

- It is not A (duration)

- It is B (end)

4) Conclusion: The existence of time is evident.

This demonstration is universal and objective. It is verified everywhere and at any time.

THE LAW OF DURATION

1) Everything that happens has a beginning, a "life" and an end. In other words, nothing lasts forever.

2) This law applies in the past, in the present and in the future.

3) This law is an universal and absolute principle.

4) This law states that changes happen continuously and irreversibly.

5) This law prevents events from occurring backwards. For example, there is no rejuvenation.

6) This law prevents time travel. These journeys are only possible in science fiction.

7) This law is inexorable or relentless. There is no way to stop duration.

8) This law is represented by the parallelochron.

9) This law applies in all sciences: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, etc.

10) This law gives rise to time which is the magnitude that measures the duration and separation of events.

EXAMPLES OF THE SCOPE OF THE LAW OF DURATION.

1) The law of duration governs the origin and disappearance of animal and plant species.

2) Also this law governs the birth and death of the planets and stars. And of course of living beings.

3) This law also governs all daily activities performed by the human being.

THE PARALLELOCHRON IS THE TEMPORAL STRUCTURE OF THE UNIVERSE

Time is the magnitude that measures the duration or separation of events. Duration is the continuous succession of irreversible changes (phenomena) delimited by a beginning and an end. The duration can be regular rhythm (time) and irregular rhythm. These durations pass simultaneously constituting the Parallelochron. Regular duration or time is based on the periodic phenomena. The Parallelochron represents the temporal structure of the universe.

In the Big Bang originated first duration and then time when the first periodic phenomena appeared.

STAGE OF UNKNOWN TIME

Augustine of Hippo said: If no one asks me what time is I know, but if anyone asks me I cannot explain it. For many people time is an illusion and for others time exists but has no explanation. The english physicist Isaac Newton compared time to the current of a river in which everything happens. This is the stage of unknown time.

Since the appearance of the magnitive concept, on September 16, 2017, time has ceased to be unknown to become a known concept. From then time is defined as the magnitive amount of the extension of the sequential intervals (begining-end). Time is no longer a physical magnitude. Time is measured by counting periodic phenomena.

Magnitive is the concept that groups the three qualities of time:

1) Clocks measure past and future time (measurable).

2) Time is imperceptible and unobservable by physical equations.

3) Time exists independently of  consciousness (objective).

I have come to these conclusions by employing thought experiments for 16 years.

MAGNITIVISM VS PRESENTEEISM

(This article is a continuation of the previous post)

Magnitivism is the doctrine that opposes Presenteeism in relation to the existence of time. According to Presenteeism, time does not exist because we only perceive the present. The past are only memories and the future are expectations. The past and the future are only illusions.

For Magnitivism time is real because the sequential intervals are objective. The term Magnitivism is derived from the word magnitive and the suffix ism (doctrine)

Presenteeism puts its emphasis on the changes and facts of reality. Magnitivism places its emphasis on the mathematical aspect of time. Between two sequential events there is an interval that can be measured. This interval is objective, real. The year 2021 is real because it measures the interval between the present and the birth of Christ. The time measures the interval between a moment of the day and midnight or noon.

Note:

Look for information about the magnitive concept in the previous posts.

DIAGRAM OF THE MAGNITIVE TIME. MAGNITIVISM VS PRESENTEEISM

 The magnitive time diagram exposes the different solutions to the problem of time on whether it exists or not.  

The magnitive time is (changing the order of the characteristic): measurable, imperceptible and objective.
