Time

                          Time is a mathematical equation derived from who? man? 

                              Today in physics there are two fundamental approaches to time.
 The first and most common approach says we use clocks to measure the time component of space-time, space and time being co-founded as the basis of physical reality. However this approach has no experimental support.
 There is no evidence whatsoever that clocks measure one aspect of space-time, and in truth we cannot observe space-time at all.

 The second approach says time is co-founded with motion through space.
 This approach is supported by experiment and observation.
 We employ clocks to accumulate local internal motion, and then use the result to calibrate duration.
 This is then employed in the measurement of external motion or material

change, and the comparative rate of such change.
 Our evidence tells us that this rate of change varies with gravity, being commonly known as gravitational time dilation.

 However we can only measure space and motion, not time, and thus we must assert that the true basis of fundamental reality is space and motion rather than space-time. This means that space itself is in some respect timeless.Time and clocks are man-made inventions. Motion is primary, time is secondary. 

 Time is an artifice of measurement, a useful tool that permits us to build mental and mathematical models for our daily lives as well as for our physics and cosmology. But time as a fundamental entity has no role in physics.

Accordingly we must conclude that we live in a timeless atemporal universe of space and motion, where the past and future only exist in the human mind, and the only eternity is now. 

Tanaka's Formula

 

"People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction

 between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."
