The criticism of the various theories are not in the ideas themselves but in the measuring tool used to creat them. H.W. Clihor notes that time is used as an unmutable tool in causal systems. Time has not been studied as a concept complete and whole unto itself. This measuring tool might be affecting our perceptions. (See his criticism below.) I have noticed that the concept "Time" is not listed anywhere in your search engine. The one thing we all take for granted is the one thing least defined anywhere. I could not find "Time" or "What is Time" or "Definitions of Time" in Wikipedia's vast store of information. Perhaps you could incorporate this concept in Religion, Philosophy, or Physics. If no one has ventured an hypothesis, then may I proffer one: Time is a quantizable reality apart from perception. The largest unit of unchangeable time is not yet known. Time is related to velocity, mass, gravity and more probably density. In short, the less matter density/mass the faster time moves as perceived by current humans up to an implied constant. The greater the matter density/mass the slower time moves as perceived by current humans unaffected by this density/mass effect. For an example...Galaxies have incredible mass, yet time as measured by light travelling through a galaxy is fairly constant. When mass is accumlated in a smaller locale, say a dense black hole, time behaves differently as measured by against the first example. Albert Einstein first illustrated the relationship between velocity and time in the first half of the twentieth century. However, time is still ill-defined. Epistomology and scientific regimen use time an instrument of measuring causality without contemplating exactly what that instrument is or what effect (if any) it has upon the experiment. This is regrettable. Time could be a-linear. It more probably is curvilinear. In either case, causality needs to be redefined in terms of time. Quantum Mechanics has illustrated the need for this re-examination of what time is. At the sub-atomic level causality shudders before wave effects, atomic spin and other exotic sub-atomic behaviors. In short, our most fundamental concepts of God, science and nature are predicated on our supposition of time as linear. This is probably only true at the macro level, and in fact may not be completely true there. Before we define what anything means should we not examine the measuring instrument we use? Should we not attempt to define time itself? H.W. Clihor - 2001 |
