Essay Abstract

No knowing Time definition and experimental meaning, Force physicists to theories creation, that make Physics Undecidable, Incomputable and Unpredictable. We know the definition and experimental meaning of time for more than 50 years, 24 hours, after I found it I thought it would be useless, the world just needed to measure it. For 20 years I followed my studies and profession, when I knew the need of physics to know the nature of Time, being Lego in Physics and Mathematics and without knowing its terminology, for 33 years I try in vain to penetrate, the wall that separates our two professions to be able to introduce the new knowledge of Time nature for you all. Not knowing the experimental definition and meaning of Time, which is "movement," forced physics to create theories that made it Undecidable, Incomputable and Unpredictable. physicists, are in the midst of a great confusion, which was graced with the help of Philosophers. I think this confusion began, when physicists by ignoring something "fundamental" to the development of physics, such as the experimental meaning of Time. They were also hindered by the clear understanding of the meaning Einstein gave to space-time, by noting the meaning of the latter. he the first who applied the construction in general relativity, which both in the "construction" and in the effect of speed and gravity about Time in the General relativity. "He" considered and treated this one as if it were "movement." Physicists lack, also diverted them from the path of gravity of general relativity, the only real and "predictable", both for planets and subatomic particles. The failure to possess Time experimental meaning, lead them to create various theories of quantum gravity, with a different description of space-time in each of them. Hëctor Daniel Gianni

Dear Dr Héctor Daniel Gianni,

Your essay on Time and its concept are very good. Your words...... Einstein said "Since mathematicians have invaded my theory of relativity, I don't understand it myself," so not always mathematics clarified concepts.............was exactly correct. There so many similarities with my essay,....

"A properly deciding, Computing and Predicting new theory's Philosophy"

Hope you will find those similarities in concepts...

Best wishes to your essay

Dear Héctor,

I appreciated very much your down-to-earth view of 'time'. It is true that the 'time' systems of our forebears (e.g. the neheh-djet time system of the ancient Egyptians, the ancient Greeks' discrimination of chronos and kairos or the quasi-relativistic time system of the Hopi) give us much deeper insight into the nature=use of 'time' than any physics textbook.

Plato remarked about kairos (knowledge-based action or 'motion'): ..."in it and from it the moved transitions to rest, and the resting to motion". So, our clocks (of whatever kind) display literally time-less knowledge - not motion let alone time itself. Chronos, on the other hand, denotes historical and hence contingent 'time' or simply the openness of the future.

best,

Heinz

Dear Hector Daniel Gianni,

I enjoyed your essay very much and fully agree with your conclusion that:

"what slows is not time but the clocks,"

Although that is usually the way it is stated in special relativity ("moving clocks run slower"), that is not the conception forced on us by Einstein, who built multiple time dimensions into relativity by his definition of 'inertial reference frame', and his formulation of every special relativity problem in terms of two or more reference frames. I've reached the same conclusion, and have submitted a paper that calculates the value of 'gamma', the inertial factor, in exact agreement with the gamma of relativity, but based on different ontology.

It's hard to argue that time 'exists' as a physical entity with one dimension, but it's an extremely useful concept. I agree that movement is key, but it is moreover cyclical movement, and the measurements in most cases involves counting cycles of motion.

I have a related essay in the contest that you may find interesting:

Deciding on the nature of time and space.

I invite you to read it and welcome any comments you might have.

Good luck in the contest and thanks for participating.

    Dear Edwin Klingman

    I'm glad you liked my essay. You say:

    "It's hard to argue that time 'exists' as a physical entity with one dimension, but it's an extremely useful concept."

    We agree that "the so-called time" was and is and will remain an extremely useful

    concept, and that it is hard to argue that it has a physical entity, simply because it cannot be

    proven that it has it.

    As for the experimental meaning of "so-called time" as "movement", it is not only

    important, but I think I have proven that it is a constant and uniform movement that man copied from the sun movement, for reasons of practicality in the design of the clocks. In no way is it a cyclic

    movement, and does not include the movement cycle count. On the contrary, the empirical meaning of

    "so-called time" is "continuous". The cyclic thing is a mistake that I think originates from the internal

    movements of the clock, in which there are many cyclic movements that are mechanisms like the

    pendulum that were designed in order to achieve the constant and uniform movement of the clock

    hands over the numbered dial.

    To measure something continuous it is essential to create units, in our case, the fundamental unit was given to us by nature. The Day, which is the constant and uniform movement of the sun from one sunrise to the next, which the Egyptians after a long process managed to divide into 24 hours ... In the measure of the "so-called time" at no time does it imply the count of the movement cycles. I repeat the movement is continuous, the hours are not parts of a cycle but the arbitrary divisions of a continuous movement, which can be divided because the "so called time" is a constant and uniform movement, no other movement could be divided in equal parts.

    We agreed that what is slowed down is not the "so-called time" but the clocks, the physical reason of such slows is the speed inertia and or gravity that slows the internal movements of the clock respect to the similar one on the earth surface.

    To the "so-called time" dilation I would call it slowing a clock or any other

    movement traveling at high speed and at a greater distance from the center of gravity, compared to the similar clock to the one on the earth surface.

    If we accept that the experimental meaning of "so-called time" is "movement" we are accepting that it is a physical property and exists as such, all physical existing things are in continuous motion in the universe.

    All the planets have different physical conditions, different gravity etc. so

    each place in the universe has its "called time". I think there is neither the "now" nor the "instant" I

    accept them as a reference to a very short period of the "so called time", this is continuous.

    You could read if you haven't already done it, my explanation of the paradox of the twins, I think it's the only physical possibility that this could be possible.

    I think I prove that Time is a measurement system

    I think I proved that Time is a measurement system, which was most likely unintentionally created by prehistoric man. This one exists only as long as man exists like all the systems he created. This system measures "so-called time" which is actually a constant and uniform movement. With units arbitrarily created by man as already I said.

    A new era dawns.聽 Old questions become quaint and historical.聽 Is the whole community ready?聽 Or is physical reality too dangerous for our collective understanding at this time?聽

    Dear Doc! )))

    Thank you for your interest in the philosophy of the times. This is a difficult question.

    In modern nature study the geometrical interpretation of time prevails. In the twentieth century the philosophers of science, for example McTaggart (1908) and up to Julian Barbour (1999), the duration of the time refered to the sphere of subjectivity . The objectivity is a property of a the sequence of events and corresponds to the order of points on a straight line. A similar understanding can be found in the common interpretation of space-time continuum of Minkowski where the temporal dimension has oneness.

    The reduction to the subjectivity is often associated with the name of the Christian theologian - Blessed Augustine. In "Confessions" philosophical work he said that the notion of time is our memories of the Past , our contemplation of the Present and waiting for the future. There is no past, no future, and only in the soul of a human, there are there forms of perception corresponding to them. Nevertheless, it should be kept in mind, that according to this profound theologian, time is a creation of God, and therefore the characteristics of the flowing time are the objective properties of time as the creation. Thus, Blessed Augustine is talking not about reducing time to the properties of the soul, but about structuring the temporal process as it is according to the mental properties.

    In the same period of the early Christianity there was a specific Arian heresy, where God obeys the temporal order. "First, the Father, then the Son" - Arius says. It is interesting that, after a century, Isaac Newton adopted the philosophy of Arianism. This fact has been noted by various historians of science, and we tend to believe that Arian approach is explicitly embodied in the classical idea of the absolute time. Even in a relativistic theory, the global time of the universe retains the absolute inclusiveness of all - all the instants are given on the time axis. The stream of time is in the eternity.

    We have found out that in the modern science two concepts of time coexist - the geometric and the algebraic (the algorithmic). The first approach is well-recognized and is applied with perfect skills, but the second is the one that only now moved to the forefront, thanks to the development of computational tools. Which of these approaches do you like more?

    I am in my essay trying to determine time through the theory of sets. You can view.

    Since you are interested in the mystery of time, I evaluate your essay very positively!

    Yours sincerely -

    Dear Sherman Ioran Jenkins:

    I am really don't know if we are beginning or not a new era. I think mankind didn't find time definition an its empiric meaning before, just because for thousands of years it was just a curiosity inquiry and there wasn't a true need for it, like the one that started sixty years ago for theoretical physics. Humanity isn't really interested in the empirical meaning of time, just a little curious about it, people are only interested in measuring time and a little bit about the accuracy of it. I don't see any danger in this for people in general or for science, just benefits.

    Thank you for reading my essay

    Dear Pavel Vadimovich Poluian:

    I know that "so-called time" is constant and uniform movement, I know that Time is a measurement system created by prehistoric man probably between 20 and 30 thousand years ago. Time as a system that is, has no physical existence. From everything I've said, I'm not interested in the mystery of time, but in transferring the definition and experimental meaning of time to theoretical physicists who are practically the only ones who need it. I'm sorry I don't comment on most of your post, but I don't know anything about computing and less I know its terminology. Philosophers have helped complicate the problem of time created by physicists.

    Thank you for reading my essay.

    Dear Satyavarapu Naga Parameswara Gupta:

    I'm sorry, mine is not a theory but a discovery I made 50 years ago. Aim just trying to transfer this knowledge to theoretical physicists, because they need it.

    Thank you for reading my essay.

    Héctor

    Dear H.H.J. Luediger:

    I think you're right that one of the insoluble problems for physicists "the problem of time" can be traced back to a common source, the category of error or mistake when from the name that acquired "Time" as a system of measuring changes and transformations was over millennia transferred from the name of the measurement system to what the system measured , "the so-called time", a question, passing as you said from a system to give answers to a scientific question, the current problem of time, which is solved in my essay. Thank you for reading my essay
