The Quantum Clock-Maker Investigating COVID-19, Causality, and the Trouble with AI

mathematically from an accident or spititually I would say

Hi Steve,

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, parameter means "a numerical or other measurable factor forming one of a set that defines a system or sets the conditions for it`s operations." How are you meaning parameter?

It is always a parameter independant of evolution, no need of dictionary to understand that this time is a parameter

Hi Steve,

Does the time parameter compel all motions in the Universe? If so, how would that operate?

Hi Jim, this time seems purelly correlated with the motions, and the confusions about it for me is due to the philosophy and the relativity and this spacetime that we observe, but this time is probably absolute for the rotating spheres and in the motions. I see it like a measurement simply,a foundamental quantity , a scalar in classical physics. A rhing important is its irreversibility like all experiments in themro prove it. We can consider the works of einstein and newton, and einstein is for observations at high velocities of the spacetime. Newton is for a kind of universal clock linear if my memory is correct. For the quantum mechanics, you can analyse the equations of schrodinger where the parameter time is considered. All these works consider the evolution and an irreversibility. This time exists like a measurable quantity because it is correlated with the motions.

I agree that time is "like a measurement simply,". In my view, time is only a measurement system that measures durations elapsing, and that`s all it is, simply a measurement system.

Steve,

Earlier you said, "this thing (time) exists like a parameter, without time, you don`t exist,". I do not understand that Steve. That sounds like more than "like a measurement simply,", if I wouldn`t exist without it?

Hi Jim, I just say that it is an important parameter because without time, we have no motion and if we have no motion so we have no physics and without physics so we don t exist

Good Morning Steve,

The FQXi contest on the nature of time, established that there was no proof that time exists as a real thing in reality, at least as of 2008 when the contest occurred. If I understand you correctly, you are saying that motions in our Universe, prove that time does exist. That time must exist because we have motion. Perhaps I misunderstand you?

What does time, the real thing, actually do then? How can time do what it apparently does, everywhere in the Universe, all of the time?

Why do you assume that time exists when there is no proof?

An assumption is not a proof.

There is no proof that the time does not exist and we have more evidences that this time exists, because it is measurable, if it didn t exist, we could not measure it like a scalar quantity, like the mass, the lenght, the charge.... when a thing is measured, it exists and all our equations in quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, cosmology ...consider this time. So I don t know why you consider that it does not exist, but it exists, the evolution is a reality . And the motions , rotations...are essential and are a reality. So give a proof that it does not exist, and if it correct with the maths and in having changed all the euqations in physics considering this time, I will agree, but at this moment , a moment in time, I cannot lol, to you my friend

Yes the extradimensions are assumptions, they are just mathematical plays due to the geometrical algebras and the strings. And I agree that the motions indeed exist , and this time is correlated . What is maybe important is to consider the evolution and the evolution is cconsidered with the time. When we have considered the time , the first humans conscious have seen that a yesterday was different tna a tomorrow and they have considered the rotations of the earth and around the sun. We have after this invented the seconds , the minutes, the hours, the months , the years, and the past, the present and the future are realities. And in our physics, this time permit to measure and calculate the motions, interactions, .... when you tell that this time does not exist, I understand because it is just a quantity that we measure and we cannot touch it like the other measurable scalar quantities, but it exists in the sense that it permits to measure and is measurable. We must recognise that we have a past , that we born , live and die and there is a time life . I d like to have your philosophy about what you tell if you are ok, what is the improtance of what you tell us about this time, what is the relevances for our physics that we measure ? regards

Take dinosaur bones. It`s possible to see, possibly to touch, dinosaur bones. Many millions of years, and those bones are still here with us in the present. They are evidence. The bones have not left the present.

There are no co-existing past(s) in some other places. The remnants of all events are still here with us in the present.

Hi Jim, I was in geology at university, so indeed we have bones lol, they are proofs of a past and the bones are under the laws of resistance of matters and others. The past has existed and the proofs that we find in the present permit to understand the evolution and the diversity of the biology. The geology is a very good sciences to encircle the time and the evolution I must say. There is a clock of evolution universal irreversible entropical.

Hi Steve,

FQXi`s first essay contest was about the nature of time, there were 137 essays. They are available on FQXi.

yes I know but that does not change that this time exists. It is an important parameter for the evolution at all scales. We utilise thie time like a thing measurable permitting to measure with equations mechanisms simply. There is nothing of odd with this time, even the GR and SR are tools where the time is considered.The nature of time is simply a parameter inside a physicality in 3D and if you consider the quaternions and the motions, it is important for these motions and so the mechanisms. If you tell that it does not exist for example , so how are you going to consider this evolution and how are you going to measure steps of these mechanisms , but the motions at the present can be different just a moment after, see the accelerations for example and the velocities changing. Without time, you have no changes.

What makes you think time is any different than extra dimensions? Is time just another convenient assumption?

Why would matter need some kind of `time parameter` to move? How would that work with all matter?

why many equations foundamental in physics consider this time ? the extradiemnsions are not the same , the quaternions have a dimension of time but it is just a tool for the motions and changes.

very nice

I have struggled to convince a number of people over the years that I become so much more than a mere genius while high and I would have a few people vouch for that. I can provide answers in a sentence or two while high that geniuses need hundreds of pages to write. I have outsmarted some of the smarted people in the world while high and have elaborated on their theories in new and undiscovered ways. If someone were willing to hire me to read their theories or research new theories and then expand or explain them with the aid of the high I would be more than happy to do so.
