Today\'s Time Travel Event

This morning at 2 AM local time, most of the people in the US traveled thru 1 hour of Time in an instant.

Suddenly, it went from 2AM to 3AM in less than a fraction of a second.

In fact, it was precisely 0.0 seconds after 2AM, that it became 3AM...by definition of the time change.

By the same definition, NOTHING occurs from a (Matter-in-Motion) standpoint, for that ONE hour of "jump time" that occurs in our timeclocks.

Isn't this the technical definition of "lost time"? Correct me if I am wrong on this... but do we not "travel thru time" each time we shift the clock forward, and back, by an hour?

Is this not one way of showing that Time is nothing more than an artificial construct of mankind?

Don't get me wrong... I totally love the extra daylight I get each day after I leave work.

Kind Regards,

Re: Today\'s Time Travel Event

Hi Ray,

I think that it's not correct to assume that time is nothing more than a construct of mankind. People perceive time as a result of changes in their environment. Thanks to events that occur at a certain interval, we are able to actually measure time. It's true that time is a concept created by mankind, but I do think it's more than that. The fact that we can only imagine time in a 1-dimensional and linear fashion, does not mean we don't understand it, nor does it mean that time does not exist.

Now that we understand our 1-dimensional and linear time, perhaps we should start thinking of time in multiple dimensions. That is, by the way, one of the reasons why I like your 3x3 matrix so much.

:D Something is happening, in the spacetime continuum.This extra hour of daylight,is bleaching my curtains.
 
Re: Today\'s Time Travel Event

When NASA figure how to pack a human brain and reproductive genetalia inside a neutrino; the human race can happily go Dr Whooing into oblivion. Mass not time is relative and the answers are in ENGINEERING not ASTRO-PHYSICS.

See web page Quantum power devices The reversibility principle is just not true and that is not all that is total bullshit regarding the laws of physics.

TIME: Man's ultimate illusion

The past = past NOWs (not cached anywhere for revisiting)
The future = NOWs yet to come (One's NOW can come faster)

Hi Roel:

Maybe I gave the wrong impression. The "part" of time that I think is obviously a construct of mankind is the rigorous definition of what constitutes a standard second, and the like constructs of Time Of Day (be it GMT or local time). Clearly, these ARE constructs of mankind, for we may someday meet aliens who do not share the same rigorous definition of a "second" just like they have different time references than our GMT. Note that the entire concept of "time zones" are a local fact of reality on our planet, and that a time zone has no significance in deep space. This is another clue that there are really two DIFFERENT notions of Time. The one in which we quantify what constitutes a "standard second" is artificial. The one in which we infer causality as a result of our observations of Matter in Motion is the version of Time that truly binds us to our universe....and to each other.

Agreed, and this is one of the things I am getting at with the Massive SpaceTime model. We each PERCEIVE our own, relative form of time based upon how Mass moves through Space around us. This is the fundamental realization that explains why "time flys when you're having fun" or the contrapositive "time drags on when you're bored." The fact that we each can perceive time as passing at variable rates (in contrast to a scientifically-defined, well-ordered, linear second-by-second metronome) is the first clue that Mass and Space are inextricably linked with Time.

Now that we understand our 1-dimensional and linear time, perhaps we should start thinking of time in multiple dimensions. That is, by the way, one of the reasons why I like your 3x3 matrix so much.

In my view, part of being able to think of time in multiple dimensions requires one to understand the context within which the Massive SpaceTime 3x3 matrix model fits. Your post comes at an appropriate "time", as I am about to make my next post to the Massive SpaceTime thread I started. This post will attempt to provide the context for the Massive SpaceTime Matrix.
