Re: Time: is time a concept or a physical force and can we prove the arrow of time
although is see an 'actual' temporal element in the mathematical representation of the Planck moment, it is, ultimately, of no duration to have duration.ParadoxicalAlchemist wrote: ↑January 9th, 2018, 2:11 pm Correct me if I am misunderstanding, but you are implying that time does not exist due to its measurement being "0", however a Plank second is not 0. A plank second has a physical unit of measurement equal to 5.39 × 10 −44 s, you cannot just average this down to zero because that is not it's definition.
I am not attempting to refute your whole argument here because I think there are some aspects of it that are interesting and deserve discourse, but I want clarification on whether you are implying time is 0 or not.
It is as 'zero' as .9999... = 1! *__-
More so! (I don't have to ignore the pesky tangent to explain it)
The timeless Planck moment is not a measure of temporal extent, but a single unit of perception, a 'percept', the experience/Knowledge of the Here! Now!

Re: Time: is time a concept or a physical force and can we prove the arrow of time
How is the measure of time made? It is made by the movement of two or more physical objects relative to each other. Whether the moving atoms in an atomic clock, the vibrating molecules in a crystal, the spring in a watch or the pendulum of a clock, it is about relative motion. Without physical movement, there is no time. Similarly, without motion of a physical object, velocity doesn't exist.
So prior to the existence if the physical universe, there was no time since there was nothing physical that could move. Contrary to popular belief, time is not another dimension. It is firmly a part of the three dimensions of the universe. And therefore any other dimensions are not subject to it.

The only Time that exists is the Here and Now, the Zero-0 Hour.
Time exists, the existence or non-existence of Time is not Uncertain, is certain, because a object in Space is measurable location and momentum in Time and in Space.
Existence requires that Time Space and Motion, to be relative.
Nothingness, None existence requires Time Space and Motion, to not be relative,
to not exist.
Prior to the beginning of the Creative Process, simply because the relativity of Time Space and Motion did not exist, because the Reality of Everything, Time, Space and Motion, existed as an Infinitely Finite Indivisible Singularity having no relative, no numerical value, having a numerical value of Zero-0.
Zero-0, nothing existing as an omnipresent Infinitely Finite Indivisible Singularity, within a State of Nothingness, of Singularity.
Motion in Time beginning at the Zero-0 Hour.
Motion in Space beginning at Point Zero-0.
Motion in the beginning itself at a Standstill, all Singularities being Motionless, having no relative, numerical value having a numerical value of Zero-0.
The Singularity of Motion existing as the insignificant innate, inner motion of a Singularity alone in the Emptiness of Time and Space.
This inner, innate motion, not being measurable, being meaningless, having no measurable angular momentum, velocity of Speed and direction, existed as a Vibration, and oscillation at the heart of, existed as the Inner Passion of a Singularity alone in the Emptiness, as the Everlasting, Eternal source of Pure Unadulterated Heat Energy

The arrow of time is evident in the fact that things which explode don't naturally fall back together into their original form again and at a temporal dimension we can't remember the future.

The motion, the angular momentum, the velocity of Speed and direction, the motion of the Arrow of Time having angular momentum, velocity of speed and direction, is used as a coordinated measurement of The relativity of Time and Space of an object as it moves as a, series, as a sequential number of point Singularities in Space-Time which began at the Zero-0 Hour, the Event Horizion..
The Arrow, the motion, the direction of differentiated Time once begun is continuous, Everlasting Eternal, is Infinite Time.
Time, differentiated Time exists as a series of moments that exist as a series of point singularity, the measurable location and momentum of an object as its motion takes it from here to there in Space-Time.
Time being a continuous point at which Time and Space are relative, thus allowing measurability of the location and Momentum of existence of Time in Space-Time.
Time, differentiated Time, is measurable as the Arrow of Time, the motion of an object as it passes through the point in which its location and momentum of an object as it travels about Space Time from one location to another
Differentiated Time as a series of moments, points that are relative as to location and momentum of a Point in which Time and Space are relative represent the arrow of Time is a measurement, series of coordinated movement as to Location and momentum of object as it travels about Space-Time.

The Planck moment is Time is closer to non existence than it is to existence.
A Planck Time is necessary for existence however the measurement of Time is necessary for Living.

Time, Space, Motion remained unchanged, remained undifferentiated, each remaining a Singularity having no relative, numerical value, remained a Singularity of Zero-0 until after the beginning moment that the Creative Process began.
Time, Space, and Motion were not relativity until after the beginning moment that the Creative Process began, until after the moment of Creation.

It looks as though Creation was like the Flip of a Coin.

You experience that at different rates through your life.
You can speed it up if you go fast.
That really sums it all up.
You can only really describe the universe, there is nothing to explain.

dU = T dS -pdV where U is the inner enery V is the volume of the material , p is the pressure and T the Temperature. The setting has as a concequence that for all closed systems the state (U,S,V,N) has to increase the entropy at the end. The statistical definition has to be consistent with this definition
($ S = -K_B \sum_i p_i ln(p_i)$) . This is a statistical and thermodynamical definition of time direction the time for a \underline{single} particle cannot be definied via statistics (due to the fact that statistics is based of the underlying physical framework, whatever this framework is like classcal mechanics, quantum mechacics, or special/general relativity).

Re: Time: is time a concept or a physical force and can we prove the arrow of time
Time only exists when two physical objects move relative to each other. Whether it is the atoms in an atomic clock, the pendulum of a clock or the vibration of crystals there is no such "thing" as time. Just like you can't have velocity without motion the movement of something physical. If there is an existence or dimension that has no physical objects within it, then there can be no time.
In the Theory of Relativity time is just another variable. Prior to Einstein, time was considered as a constant. By treating time as a variable, Einstein was able to develop his theory and make predictions which would have been inconsistent with a constant arrow of time. Popular discourse likes to treat time as if it is another dimension. Without the physical world, it doesn't exist, so it is not another dimension.
So what us going on? We kno whine thing for sure and that us nothing in our physical dimensions can travel faster than the speed of light. So as you approach the speed of light, something must change. That thing which we measure is time. But it is not time itself which is changing but the physical objects which we use to measure time. As they approach the speed of light, they can't surpass it, therefore their relative motion to each other is slowed down. That is, it appears that time itself as an object is slowed down.
