WIDE CONCEPT OF TIME Time is the set of phenomena occurring by the movements of rotation and translation of the Earth. Among these phenomena, the main ones are: The day, the night, the eclipses, the phases of the Moon, the tides, the climate, the ambient temperature and the duration (units). The sciences of time are: Astronomy, Meteorology and Philochrony (duration)
So, time is limited to the Earth - and Earth as a whole - then. The sun does not change over time. Mars does not experience time. The stars do not change over time. In fact, even things on the Earth don't experience time. Plants and animals do not metabolize from minute to minute. Chemicals don't react. Atoms don't move. Certainly a novel concept.
In the wide definition of time you can change the Earth by any other planet. Duration is part of the wide time
There was no time keeper, but there were seasons of vegetation to grow, depending on regions. In polar region hourly changes are not applicable. So give me your version
Here we go again about TIME Below is a explanation of my thoughts on the subject OK here I go with what I hope is a helpful explanation of my opinion as to why I say TIME does not exist This is a thought experiment so JUST FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE START OF THIS EXPERIMENT I WILL CONSIDER THE FUTURE AND THE PAST AS EXISTING Consider a movie film projector Canister of film on top (FUTURE) The light / frame between light and lens / lens / screen (NOW) Canister of film on bottom (PAST) Consider the canister of film on top to represent 1 day (00:01 to 23:59) Run the film and stop at random time (10:00am) System has 14 hours top canister (FUTURE) NOW on screen 10 hours bottom canister (PAST) To make it easier to imagine take the top canister film out and remove all but 2 minutes Same with bottom canister leave 2 minutes attached discarded anything older System has 2 minutes top (FUTURE) NOW on screen 2 minutes bottom (PAST) Mark the frame which was showing NOW the screen Lay the film out on a bench Looking at the film you should observe differences between each frame and a gap (line) between frames One line below the FUTURE frame above the NOW frame One line above the PAST frame below the NOW frame The line is the moment when a shutter cuts off the light while the frames advance HOWEVER life does NOT operate like a movie film NOW is continuous No cut off while next frame is positioned Yes for everybody memory is retained from previous NOWs and can be imagined for FUTURE NOWs The measurement between any two NOWs is known as AGE Back to the strip of film Cut off all remaining FUTURE frames Cut off all remaining PAST frames Replace the NOW frame in the projector Within reality you would see the NOW projected on the screen change with no reliance on any FUTURE (or PAST) frames Since by the explanation just given FUTURE and PAST do not EXIST but NOW continues without either I contend NOW is the ONLY IT TIME (as existing in the PAST or FUTURE) is simply not there AGE as between two bookmarks (let's change bookmarks to nowmarks) AGE as between two NOWMARKS can be measured and labelled and AGES compared as well as physical processes occurring on any AGED material Some substances AGE more (become more disorganised) dispite having the same measurement between NOWs as other substances Will wind up now and hope this explains my position Further reading Dictionary - meaning of EXIST Post #821 (in another thread) extract of The Invention of Time and Space ALL of the book The Invention of Time and Space Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
How do vegetables grow if there is no chemistry? Chemistry requires time. That must suck for all the wildlife flora and fauna. It takes them a day just to blink? It's not really a personal opinion kind of thing. Is there something wrong with the universally agreed-upon concept of time ranging from the infinitesimally short times over which atoms and photons operate, to the cosmic times that galactic clusters evolve?
Taking it this way then time is related to energy. We can go to -272 degree were thing supposedly freeze but the we can go further to small forces were energy exist to hold neutrinos and other subatomic particles.
Because the WT is the general state of a local stellar system (start, planet and satelites) at a given moment.
Earth movements affect magma too, but it doesn't belong in your list. So, a few days and a dozen posts have passed, giving you plenty of time to elaborate, if you were of a mind. A few questions: 1. Why you you call this idea "time" when we already use this word and have a clear definition for it? It is akin to saying "The concept of cars is that they are red and have four doors. Other aspects are irrelevant. The sciences of cars are: vulcanology, metallurgy and colour." You can see several problems here: - the concept of cars is already well-defined - any useful and meaningful definition is certainly more broad than red sedans - in any meaningful scenario, other cars are not irrelevant - there are many, many sciences relevant to cars - colour (and duration) are not sciences 2. Why is it called a "wide" concept, when it is nothing if not exceedingly narrow? I mean, it picks a couple of scales for measuring time, and then summarily ignores the vast majority of other scales. That's kind of the exact opposite of wide. 3. What is its application? As before, we have a definition of time, and we have some convenient time scales already; does picking a few make someone's job easier? It is akin to saying 'we need a set of rules to deal with only red sedans, excluding others, such as blue coupes'. Who benefits from this exclusion?
Another way of putting this is: This is a false statement. That is not what time is. Anything that follows from this will be false as well. But that's a little more blunt. Which is why you were given plenty of opportunity to elaborate on your OP.
It seems that I have not given to understand clearly. The BROAD TIME defines the duration and the weather together from its origins.
