Spatial dimensions come in two types - curled up, and flat. Our notion of "time" comes from a third type of spatial dimension - one that is partially curled up, and in the process of 'uncurling' itself. There is always n number of spatial dimensions (3 in our case), and then a fraction of a dimension which is partially uncurled. This fraction of a spatial dimension is what we refer to as 'time'. What causes spatial dimension to uncurl? Why would a spatial dimension go from completely curled up, to completely flat? Our unoverse has 3 flat spatial dimensions, and one that is somewhere inbetween flat and curled up. Vacuum energy (virtual photons) cause curled up spatial dimensions to uncurl. Dark energy is virtual photons. Dark energy is 'time'. Virtual photons are 'time'. Time is the vacuum energy that expands space.

I can conceive of the entire universe freezing for a billion years and then re-starting. I can also conceive of the entire universe freezing for ten seconds and then re-starting. In either case there would be absolutely no motion and nothing happening in relation to anything else in the universe while frozen. Yes, WHILE frozen! I think it makes sense that WHILE is a good word to use for this scenario and there could be different durations of a universe in the hypothetical state of no motion. If time is just defined by motion, then that implies EVEN IF the universe froze, it froze for ZERO amount of time. But this doesn't seem right! Sure, maybe the universe freezing like this is impossible. But I don't think it's logically impossible. It just hasn't happened (or maybe it happens all the time but we don't know it). I like to think of time more metaphysically. Because it seems hard to even conceive of empirical science totally ruling out a metaphysical concept of time that might be way more fundamental than psychology and laws of physics. Also, I don't think concepts like causation are coherent without time, in a metaphysical sense. They are defined by one thing preceding another. Science itself could not exist without time. I suspect time may not rely on things like causation or motion to exist. And it seems to me like existence and time are linked. If something exists for zero amount of time, is that even possible? Did it really exist? Seems way more like a logical contradiction than time going beyond motion!

causation when time in opposite direction moves more than space? also measures quantum wave function into classic object?

So the answer is “we do not know”. Why? Because we may (or can) never know. Why? Because is the universe eternal? Is whatever is outside the universe eternal? Then what is time really? So, time may not be and pretty much from the basic logic above cannot be “fundamental”. And that’s a problem in and of itself. What is or what does fundamental really mean anyways? Fundamental to what? Our universe? “Our” (humans ideas, thoughts, observations) of what we can measure if “information” in the universe or what made the universe or what the heck is the universe anyways? A simulation? A “natural” phenomena? A “natural” phenomena to what? Where? when, how? What is “natural” anyways? Everything? Nothing? Time is like gravity. We can observe it and experience it but can we truly measure it according to what it really is based on other factors we don’t know that may or may not have direct or indirect effects to time or gravities existence?

It's also very counterintuitive to me that an event itself can take place outside a passage of time. It seems like we're able to divide events into smaller and smaller parts which can themselves be seen as shorter events. I can't imagine an event that doesn't take any time to occur.

As for carbon dating and measuring “time” of universal expansion, we are still only measuring the change in the Carbon-14 levels and the changes in position of the stars or galaxies. And how do we describe it…relative to our revolution around the sun or the distance light travels during that revolution. Measuring motion against another motion, or other change, is all there is. And it all takes place “now”.

By its usage by others, just as any word. One wonders what other words can be applied to our memory with consequences as or more "meaningful". Well...meaningful on who you talk to.

Is gravity a constant? If so, then time must also be, because gravity is directly linked to time. How do you calculate the speed of gravity? The equation involves time, how long an object has been falling. What if time were variable, like in Special Relativity? Then gravity would also be variable as gauged from different inertial frames. It appears that gravitational time dilation exists, but that's a case of time being dependent on gravity, which is logical, gravity affects time, time doesn't affect gravity, you can't just travel fast and thereby alter time because inertial motion is not analogous to gravity, it's analogous to lack of motion, there's no difference, which is why all laws of physics are the same in both cases.

Immanuel Kant said something interesting on the topic.

I have an exciting old theory that is now an observation. There is no need to modify gravity. Less gravity accelerates time and inflates distance both of which accelerate causation making everything move faster including lightspeed while maintaining the speed of light 186,000 miles per second. The concept is so simple at least for mechanically minded people. If you change the size of a cubit, you will change the size of the house that you build with it. If instead of driving 60 kilometers an hour you drive 60 miles an hour, you will increase your speed because you increased the distance that you traveled in an hour. Then if you change from 60 miles an hour to 60 miles in half an hour, you increased your speed again because you traveled 60 miles in a faster time. General relativity is no longer a theory, it is an observation. Distance expands with less gravity and time speeds up with less gravity effectively making everything faster including light without breaking the speed of light.

If it's fundamental then it should be measurable and observervable. Time has never been measured and it's never been observed. That "t" in all physics equations has always represented the duration of some cyclical thing - a clock. However, all clocks drift, which should be a smoking gun that clocks are incapable of measuring time. Because if time existed and clocks actually measured it, then clocks wouldn't drift at different rates depending on the clock. As such, clocks cannot be odometers that measure the progression of through time. Clocks are in fact metronomes. And just as an actual metronome is not genuinely slaved to a song being played on a piano, nor is the song slaved to the metronome. Similarly, clocks are not genuinely slaved to any rates of change that is occurring in the universe, nor is any rate of change slaved to a clock. Hence, clocks fundamentally cannot be measuring the progression of time - some physical movement from the past to the future as actual places. And since clocks are what we use the "measure" the "progression" of time. Then existence of time itself is extremely questionable.

Time is fundamental in the sense it helps keep people locked into the illusion that is Maya.

time is similar to the rules of a board game, which the players/members of the game are supposed to follow...

"The world looks significantly different depending on which time projection it is viewed in." (Naan). Of the three: Schwarzschild, proper and global, it seems that the third time should be chosen, since the asymmetry of time actually implies the accumulation of time, more precisely, history. In other words, it is the age of the system that is the determining factor for describing the physical processes occurring in the system under consideration. We can say that there is neither the present or the future, but only the evolving past.* P.S. “The direction of the process is always the loss of energy availability.”, Feynman. Thus, it is impossible to measure time even mentally experiment (without the use of clocks, instruments, phenomena ...) without energy consumption. --------------------------- *) - Ancient Roman quantum mechanics: to the question: how many eggs can you eat on an empty stomach?

Exactly. I used to say, In a clock there is no aethereal antennae being swept into oscillation by the flowing river of time for that river is a metaphor and a very poor one.

Einstein understood time better than anybody else has since. He locked it down to locality and relatively speeds of these localities to each other. Aliens travelling a millions of times faster than us on their planet in their part of the universe will experience time far more slowly than us on our planet. And they will maybe experience time shooting past in comparison to other aliens in another part of the universe on their planet travelling millions of times faster than them, where their time will be relatively slow. So locality and speed relative to one another are inextricable determinants of what we perceive as time. So time could be interpreted as fundamental, but without a 'constant' and thus beyond scientific definition or understanding.

Time is a mental construct. If you look closely you will see that it is always determined by the motion of some physical system: the hands of a clock, the Earth's rotation, our revolution around the sun. Nowhere can we sense time in any other manner. It is always relative to something else and has no absolute reality. It is a feeling in our mind/brain and nothing more. In deep Zen meditation practiced followers can turn off the section of the mind/brain responsible for the feeling of time. The experience is amazing.

We don’t notice it inside the ship because everything inside has changed in the same ways. So…it turns out that any physical changes we see, such as a person aging more slowly, is due to actual physical effects of traveling near light speed, not to something called “time” slowing down. And yes, there have been studies showing that people can turn off certain areas of the brain using meditation and other methods. I experienced it myself. Then, the phrases you mentioned like “time flies” kinda helps my contentions. Our feeling of time changes as you say.

Time cannot be fundamental because it is a "measurement of change" that requires a specific configuration of events before it can be observable. This ironically turns time into an "after-the-fact" type of emergence. For time to be observable (no pun intended), two circumstances must be present: first, you need _something_ that exhibits some type of change, and second, this _something_ must either stop changing, continue changing (like spinning or moving), or demonstrate some other type of change after the first change. This is the *only way* the existence of time can be observably demonstrated (chronicled).

Time does not move nor change matter but, rather, it is the motion or change of matter that gives the illusion of time. Here is the truth : Neither Space nor Time is a thing... both are just ILLUSIONS being imagined due to observations of matter's changes or motions. Even Einstein once said that time does not exist, not a condition to existence.. The illusion of space, which is actually emptiness, is brought about through observations of the existence of matter, energy, or spirit. It is emptiness or NOTHINGNESS that Matter occupies, not space, and Nothingness is NOT an Existence... Time also does not exist but just an illusion brought about by motion or changes of matter that exists. This motion or changes of matter are being noticed not because of the illusion of time but because of the existence of memory retaining series of perceptions of matter's changes, both being observed simultaneously.. Narrow-minded Materialists, who unreasonably closed their minds to possible existence beyond the physical, have pushed Time as real thing so to show to the gullibles that the beginning is Time, not God... To those stubborn heads who insist that time is a real existence, please bring us "bottles of yesterdays and barrels of tomorrows" to prove it... ... If you can't, then pls stop misleading our innocent children who are our future. We need ACCOUNTABLE leaders to guide this World to the right path for a bright future and NOT down to the dark abyss of no return blaming TIME as all responsible...

Time doesn't exist.

I can NOT quite believe him about time. He keep out How figure out time though phich proceendings. He explains time are only talking about It . When he keep out phich proceendings he are talking for nothing. No Sense. Absolutetly. Please do NOT waste you time with rubbish phich.

Time doesn't exist, Robert. We know this b/c if you go the speed of light time ceases to exist and if all objects stop moving time ceases to exist. It's not real. It's just the outcome of the relative motion of objects.

"Even if all objects stop moving time ceases to exist."..... But the very existence of objects is in the realm of space and time. The space consisting of the three dimensions and the time being the fourth dimension.

You can’t go at the speed of light though. No matter how much you accelerate, light will always have the same rate of motion relative to you.

A photon “experiences” zero time “RELATIVE TO” or a particle or photon “experiences” zero time at a BH HORIZON relative to a “distance observer” but most of the big brains say that an “in-falling” observer still locally experiences time normally (Lenny’s BH Duality). So time being fundamental is an essential question that needs to be answered.

What attributes does time or space have? Not controversial at all. Time is an illusion based on what is transitory and has a limited duration. Therefore we are acknowledging measure. General realitivity will always be garbage in trying to reify such unreal things like time. Time is only for sake of convenience and any wise person knows this, but the others take it as apparent and only apparent - superficial.

​@@TactileTherapyThe question here of your's that arisen in your head, likely of an ulterior motive, therefore you have an agenda, was quite uneventful. Am not against, judgement, discernment, criticism, but any such action as these, charges a man to first, disclose and reveal his own system and beliefs, and if not, haven't the right in denigrating others.

I'm afraid that guy wasted our time. tavi.

Change require time and change is entropy. Change is illusion and everything that has change is illusion. Real fundamental Reality is one and whole and do not change and it is eternal and infinite. There is no time..at that level. Time , change and entropy are 3 thing of one emergent ilusion that emanates from eternal fundamental Reality. Same thing about space.. Even thre is time in that eternal fundamental Reality then that time is dimensionally diffrent from.. normal time
