Time - A New Perspective

10/1/2013

Time can be best explained in terms of Simple Harmonic Motion and the formula T=2π√(m/c^2)

Time is a moment of shared experience. It is another dimension that we all experience but cannot see.

What is Time?

Time can be best imagined by looking at water. When you drop a stone into a still pond you create ripples. Our shared experience of time is but a ride on a single ripple.

Which time ripple are we on? Are there other ripples ahead of us? Behind us? Yes, I imagine so. Just as in the pond analogy, there are surely other ripples of time. Not of our time. Which ripple we are riding on, I cannot say. All the ripples of time make up our universe.

If a ripple of time is impeded by a sufficiently large mass in space, we observe this as a black hole.

Why do I believe this is how time works?

Look around. You see time functioning this way in the galaxies, in storms, even when you drain the water in your sink.

Shouldn't time function in a way similar to sound and light? I think it does.

I want you to remember that every action you take is recorded in time. Every kindness. Every act of selfishness. Someone is always watching. It is Time. When you are done with this time, you will realize how much your time mattered - or didn't. Make your time matter. Be kind to others. Get to know them. Help them. Struggle through the hard times, and cherish the good.

Big Bang? Or Big Splash?

If the above theory of time is correct. Then black holes are not "sucking everything in" inasmuch as they are allowing time to pass by. Once the material inside the black hole has reached a sufficiently large mass, the ripple of time will pass it by. Effectively absorbing it just as a ripple of water would pass around a stone in its path.

Just as splitting an atom releases energy, so too does the (very temporary) tearing of space time. The energy released when this occurs is observed as Hawking radiation. This would explain why black holes disappear or vanish. They have simply just let time pass them by.

Where does the matter inside of the black hole go? Will it eventually be encountered by the next ripple of time? Will it be absorbed then too?

Time Travel

Do you think Aliens exist? If so, how did they get here? Are they all from the same place? Where did they go after their visit? Are their space crafts really that quick?

My Perspective: Perhaps they have just traveled from another time. Not from our future, but from another dimension entirely. Another ripple of time.

If you accept that our dimension of time is like an LP record, where tracks are laid down never to be altered, then travel through our time would be seemingly impossible – physically anyway. Einstein discussed this I believe. But what if there are other ripples of time with their own tracks. A dimension with an entirely separate past, present and future.

What if there are beings in our universe that have figured out time? Figured out how to alter their mass. Increasing it to such a point that they allow their time to pass. Essentially creating a black hole and coasting through dark energy until the next time wave comes along. Perhaps they have figured out how to “catch the wave” of another time. Like a surfer. Surfing time ripples, as you will. Sound improbable? More improbable than exceeding the speed of light or travelling for centuries to get here?

Universe or Multiverse? In the end, it all comes down to one.

Although, I could understand how different dimensions/ripples of time could be viewed as different universes.

How should we think of speed? I remember as a child, placing a marble into a big plastic tub. I was fascinated that when I increased the speed of the marble (by gyrating the tub back and forth) it would maintain a path along the wall, effectively defying gravity. I don't know why this made such an impression on me, but it did. Should we be looking at speed in the universe the same way? As proceeding in a circle, rather than in a straight trajectory?

M-Theory - Is M-Theory just describing ripples of Time?

1/10/2014 07:21:29 am

Or membranes of Time, if you prefer.

String theory or Spring theory? - If Time ripples are separated by dark energy, and are flowing downward through the slinky wire, then wouldn't that suggest that time is suspended in dark energy? Wouldn't that explain the lack of matter/mass in dark energy?

Gravity is caused by the movement of time.

Imagine Time as a universal elastic membrane. Like a dental dam - that rubber sheet they use at the dentist. This ripple/membrane of Time stretches as it encounters a large mass (like a planet). The larger the mass, the more Time stretches. In the case of a black hole, Time is stretched to the point that it tears. The black hole vanishes as Time passes by.

c^2 or c^3?

I like the expression "Race against time". Increased velocity is always against time. Direction is irrelevant.

3/6/2014 01:53:06 am

Think of Time as an invisible cosmic elastic sheet moving us all along (earlier I referred to it having the elastic properties of a dental dam). Now think of the properties of still water. When you stir water in a circle, you are increasing velocity. This creates a whirlpool effect. This is the same effect that speed/velocity has on Time. You create a whirlpool effect.

It may not be possible to physically go back in (our) time, but that doesn't preclude the possibility of exiting our time. We exit our time when we stop moving. We exit when we die. Where do we go when we exit our time? Perhaps it's into the consciousness of Dark Energy. A place where time does not exist. A place where you simply wait to catch the next wave of time. Not of the time you just left, but of a completely different reality. Perhaps our souls are just recycled from one time wave to the next.

At this point in our history/herstory there is a lot of discussion about the multiverse. I suspect that what multiverse theorists are attempting to describe is really time. I believe that there are indeed other realities, but they are not other universes. They are just other waves of time. Semantics, I guess. We are all talking about the same thing.

Time is responsible for mass. The movement of time is what gives rise to mass. From the largest to the smallest particles of matter.

6/30/2014 01:47:45 am

The elastic property of Time, in turn, is also responsible for gravity. Time is simply pushing all matter along. The greater the mass the more Time stretches. The more Time stretches, the more gravity is experienced.

Worm Holes - If you want to visualize what a wormhole in space-time fabric would look like, just look at solar flares. They provide the best visual example.

All the math skills in the world won't help you solve the equation for space time if you're not asking the right questions.

These are the questions I want to explore.

If Energy has a mathematical equivalence, shouldn't Time too have a formula?

What is Time defined mathematically?

Here is my perspective.

Time can be best explained in terms of Simple Harmonic Motion and the formula T=2π√(m/c^2). The formula explains space time mathematically where T equals time, m equals mass, and c equals the constant speed of light in vacuum.

Einstein showed us that time is relative.

The best way to envision time stretching and contracting is by using a toy most of us played with as a child, the "Slinky". This is where the above formula is derived from: Simple Harmonic Motion which, in turn, come to us from Hooke's Law.

Time needs to be elastic. Time needs to be flexible. Time needs to be all these things to accommodate the complexities of matter and the universe.
