Time is relative to a moment. It is as if a particle of space, but so abstract as not to feel or experience.
Yet time is so tangible and physical that it is real. There is a difference!
In May, I wrote my first article on Time. (https://theauthordannykemp.com/2014/05/18/did-god-create-time-or-is-god-time-a-philosophers-dream/)
In it I argue that Time existed before anything else was created, in fact, nothing could be created without the existence of Time. I split the entity of Time into two: the terminology used as a measurement of time, and the organism; Time. (living matter)
Let me first argue this point. Is Time quantifiable as Matter in the sense of having mass and volume, or, is it, as some branches of science would exclude from Matter; an energy, such as light and sound?
Light, as we know it, travels along a magnetic field. In order for magnetism to exist it must have all the attributes of a particle; atoms. The Sound that we hear is a vibration of pressure causing displacement of air. Air contains particles!
Therefore, Light and sound are Matter!
Matter is composed of atoms, and although matter can be altered in its shape it cannot be destroyed. But Time is also an energy!
The Earth has five primary layers: the troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere, the thermosphere and the exosphere. In all of which exists Time as it’s binding. Planets and the like are at differing, but constant levels of time apart. (this time is in lower case, as it’s used as a measurement) The exosphere layer is the last measurable level before outer space and from which particles travel further, drawn into the magnetosphere, or the Van Allen Belt effect. To have any magnetic force, there must be both particles and energy.
Does air (that part that’s measurable in the magnetosphere) then disintegrate into ‘Black Holes’ and is this where Time began?
A Black Hole, by its definition, exhibits such strong gravitational effects that nothing including particles and light can escape from inside it. So how could Matter (as the organism of Time) enter our solar system from there?
I’m not a physicist. I did, however, study biochemistry but not as much as I would have liked. I’m just a simple man with an enquiring mind who loves debating the impossible in an attempt to discover all that I don’t know. I answered ‘easily’ to my own question, so let me explain.
Collapsing stars are said to form Black holes, it’s their disintegrated mass that is possible to see. To disintegrate and collapse, and then reform as a mass requires energy. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can change form. Mass and energy are closely related. In many disciplines of science, energy is explained by its transformation from one substance into another. In chemistry, for example, there is often an increase or decrease of energy in the substances used, but the overall ‘mass’ never changes.
Time, as I argued in that first article, is perpetual. To be everlasting requires Energy as its source. This source existed before Matter was created and will exist when all physical Matter is destroyed. Therefore, if my argument is correct, Time is the transformation of Matter into Energy. On both sides of a black hole is there Time!
