Measuring Physical Events with Natural and Artificial Clocks
Rotation of the Earth around axis and rotation of the Moon around Earth have been first natural clock. They served as a measuring reference system for plants growing. This first measuring formed in human brain neuronal time that has a cyclic form. Mayas and old Greeks experience universe and nature through cyclic neuronal time. With measuring plants growth has developed in man a sense of duration.
Christian-Jewish civilization has introduced idea if linear time. This idea has transformed cyclic neuronal time into linear neuronal time. Because of that in Western civilization we experience universe and life in as linear.
Neurophysiology confirms that our consequent linear experiencing of physical events is based on neuronal dynamics.

With construction of artificial clocks idea has arisen in physics that clocks measure time as a physical reality in which motion happen. This idea has no experimental support. With discovery of inner neuronal time observer becomes aware that motion happens in space only and that physical time itself is run of clocks. This is the next step of physics: reaching beyond inner neuronal time and experience motion as it happens in the timeless space.
For better understanding of physical world we have to understand how our brain/mind process information about physical world we receive in senses.
Conscious observer is absolutely objective. He experiences universe directly without neuronal time interference. He is aware that duration of physical events is result of measuring them.
