Empirically, What Time Is

 What Time Is



Mathematically-empirically, Dynamic time (time 1) = distance (or length)/the rate (speed per unit of distance) of travel, transit, transpiration or decay of an object, event or object-event. Speed (dynamic time 2) = time/distance (or length). They are interrelated with and integral to one another.


Time is an objective reality, as every clock maker and user, musician, movie maker, teacher, student, doctor, biologist, geologist, astronomer, farmer, adult, elder, mortician, widow or widower, mother, (almost every) pubescent genetic girl, athlete, coach, racecar driver, timekeeper and audience, horse or dog racetrack jockey, timekeeper and audience, cook, vehicle engineer, builder, business operator, employee, etc., knows. The 3rd dimension of time is mere existence, the state of existence, the dwelling, durational state of being, aka presence, of a thing (object, event or object-event) or something or somethingness. Time is both dynamical and existential (potentially or theoretically a stasis state of being, as in existential-stasis time). In dynamic time there is sequence in motion, in the moment-to-moment progression of motion, in the motion of a thing or something, going from point A to point B, or from the start point, to the interim length, to the end, in and across the timestream, timescale and timescape of the thereby and therein streaming past, present and future) passage (sequential progression) at some given rate or set of rates of variable rates of slow or fast, or slow to fast, speed or velocity, or vice versa; however, existential time is the state of being unto itself of a thing, that seems to be or is theoretically free of dynamical time's distance and speed travel, transit, transpiration or decay, etc., motion frame-of-reference context of a thing. In the absence of such a context, existential time seemingly or theoretically lacks any motion (which in reality may be impossible in structures of inherently motional energy and matter, or either, in which in nature not even the fundamental quantum particles, ions, atoms and molecules of energy-matter structures are totally inactive and without motion, as even they either or do all: spin, oscillate, vibrate and/or transit), but may appear to or merely possibly indeed exist in behavioral or functional stasis. In any and all regard/s, time is duration, which may be finite, indefinite or, theoretically, infinite in extent, or duration and the rate of duration of a thing.

A universal, empirical definition of time is the state of existence and from-to duration (measure of duration, including its state of existence) of a thing (an object, event or object-event). Time for anything begins upon its inception and ends upon its death, terminus, cessation or dissolution.

If the past, present and future positions in time's streaming durational line of from-here-to-there of a thing -- whether an object, event or object-event, or any combination or complex of these -- within or across space are termed dimensions, then, yes, time has three linearly perpetually shifting dimensions of past, present and future, past, present and future, etc., in this regard. There cannot be time in the absence of the existence of a something or somethingness. Space, dimensional space, is the foremost fundamental thing and state of existence in which time inheres. Time is of two inseparably integral natures, empirically, that of existential time, the state of the mere existence of something or a thing, and dynamical time, the speed-based motion/s and/or transit of a thing within or across the context or dimensional structure of space, being for our universe [empirical] three-dimensional volume space. Dynamical time necessitates preexisting energy, and E=mc2 from energy conversion to matter and vice versa (but in a reciprocal process still requiring energy), and matter for the existential thing of time (the something or thing that dwells as an essence of existence), whether of stasis or dynamical time or both, to engender, exist, dwell and move or be moved. It may turn out to be the fact and ultimate explanation for ontogeny that dimensional space itself is concomitantly foremost fundamental, inherent energy, without which there can be no material existence, no existence of quantum particles and quantum dynamics and their evolutionary atomic and molecular products and systems, and no existence of dynamical time.

The rest of his theory is flatly wrong, since anything that exists is circumscribed by form, structure, shape, configuration, feature/s and parameters (all being spatiality and geometry), even the state of existence of mere somethingness (existential, potential, abstract or theoretical basic time, or mere duration or temporality), stasis time, and the from-to line of the dynamical time of each and everything from its origin through its durational lifecycle or trajectory, including its decay or entropy and demise or termination, and its motions, and is therefore spatial and geometric in itself as well as exists within and is hosted by its fundamental context of space, 3-dimensional volume space, spacetime, in our universe. Basically, space is expanse and the distance of some fundamental number of directions of its expanse and time is duration and a durational distance that inheres in and is operative in the lengths of, and from-to measured lengths within and of, the distance of directional space and its expanse or grid of expanse. Both the expanse of space and duration of time have and share inseparably and concurrently the attributes of distance, length and span as their common denominator. The from-to spatial-directional line of time per se, traceably, and overtly of dynamical time is intrinsically inviolable and inescapable, whether in reference to “from the present to the past or future," "from the past to the present or future" or "from the future to the present or past.” No thing or stuff can exist apart from, outside of or beyond space because they are spatial-geometry things in form, structure or configuration and such a [literally and technically impossible state of apart from, outside or beyond space, spacetime] location is therefore somewhere else and therefore is still space and the context of space, and no thing or stuff can exist apart from, outside of or beyond time because, nonsensically, to exist apart from, outside of or beyond time is contradictorily to not exist, to be nonexistent. Even the scriptural or religious-lore purported almighty deity or deities reside in and operate in spatial and time (existential and dynamical eternal duration for himself or themselves) contexts and their heaven and hell are locations, places, in which the non-divinity supernatural and afterlife immortal spirits also reside for the former place and solely reside for the latter place, and the almighty deity himself or the deities themselves are existential-temporal entities, thus, geometrically-spatially and time circumscribed, bound and dependent, and cannot function whatsoever or exercise any power or do the least thing as well as are totally impotent in all ways without energy and its cohort action, which are transcendent over and greater than the almighty divine, singular or plural, and the most and best educated humans, too, forever.

His reasoning is like, it reminds me of, that of the quantum foam theory of space, or spacetime, proposing an underlying granular foam composition of space, or spacetime, in which, nevertheless, empirically the granules and distances of the granules of that granular quantum foam and the topography of the porous foam itself would require them to be structural and have spatial forms or shapes (spatiality-geometry) and distances, spacing, however minute, characterizing and separating them and characterizing the porous foam's pores and topographical, textural features, in reference to quantum-particles, celestial objects and otherwise material embedded in and acting in it, negating that it, the quantum foam, could be an independent antecedent, basis and building material of space and spacetime.
