But how does duration of time manifest something , first ?

It doesn't. You keep getting cause and effect mixed up.

Duration is a property of an event.


A property of a ball is its colour. That does not mean the colour manifests the ball.

Something can't occur without it having a duration in which to occur.
That duration is defined by two time values: the start and the end. They cannot be the same.

Duration is the movement of the event ; in between start and end .

The duration between objects is governed by the nature of the objects themselves .

 

Been here before river..It's taken as a given that something exists so as to base the model on. Here, it's both the field and disturbances on that field that exist and it goes from there. I have to go now...

 

No. Duration occurs quite nicely without any movement.

I have durated here in my chair for several minutes without changing my xyz coordinates.

 

But you moved your fingers ; which changes your xyz position of your fingers .

 

Because his fingers already exist, so they can move.

 

Sooo......?

 

And he is still a certified nut......

I read plenty river, but certainly not the crap you are into.......

 

So NASA hires nuts , insulting NASA are we now .

Yes of course pad wouldn't want to disturb your insecurity .

John E. Brandenburg is a plasma physicist who went somewhat off the rails in 2012 and started proclaiming that he saw clear evidence of a thermonuclear war on Mars in the distant past. This off-beat idea attracted the attention of woo-peddlars and gave a mighty boost to sales of his books—both the non-fiction books and the science fiction books that he wrote using the nom de plumeVictor Norgarde.

In his 2015 book, Brandenburg declared himself a devout pentecostal christian.

Apologies Dave and sweetpea for sidetracking this somewhat....

 

Proof is in the book , pad

 

There is no proof river just claims by a nut to sell books.
And all that has been explained to you before you had your last holiday.

Sooo......?

 

What is your idea of time? Do you think time is some sort of force or energy, which is moving the particles in the time axis.

My idea of time is the occurrence of past, present and future; which happens at every instant of time.

 

I don't think that is in conflict with what Dave is saying. He merely makes the uncontroversial point that time is the label we give to our way of ordering changes and cause and effect in the world. If no change occurs in a system, there is no way to show that time is "passing" - indeed it is pretty meaningless to assert that it does so.

I have read that some physicists object to us speaking of time "passing", as if it "flows" like a river. If I recall correctly, they argue that time is just a coordinate, like a spatial one, which is useful to orient events so that cause and effect can be correctly assigned. Or something like that.

 

Exist means which is present.

 

Occurrence of past, present and future always happen to a particle. Due to this, the particle moves in the time axis. The particle also follows its property of inertia. External force is required to change its inertia as per Newton's First Law.

I also follow that time is a co-ordinate like spatial co-ordinates, which can be used as a reference.

 

Time is a thing
