Time is what God created to make certain things do not
happen all at once. Time is a finite
duration that creates intervals between events. A clock can be anything you want that has
periodic ticks, your heart beat, Earth’s rotation, Quasar’s rotation, Quartz
resonance, a pendulum, or atomic vibrations. The smallest unit of time is thought to be the
Planck Time of 10^-43 seconds. Time is ticking and it is not on your side.

------------------------ 2053 - Time
is What God Created
-
-
- Time is what God created to make certain
things do not happen all at once.
Webster says time is a system of those sequential relationships that any
event has to have with another as past, present or future. Time is a finite duration that creates
intervals between events.
-
- I guess, if events did not happen there would
be no time. Science defines time as what
clocks measure. It is the number of
ticks on a clock. A clock can be
anything you want that has periodic ticks, your heart beat, Earth’s rotation,
Quasar’s rotation, Quartz resonance, a pendulum, or atomic vibrations.
-
- What we observe as time is one physical
variable, the moving of hands of a clock as a function of other physical
variables, the race car moving around the track.
-
- Is time a fundamental property in the
Universe, or is it just the macroscopic appearance of things? What happens to time in the microscopic
world? In 1905 Einstein changed our
whole concept of space and time with his Theory of Relativity. Before then space and time were constant and
absolute. After then space and time were
variable and relative to an observer’s motion.
-
- What physicists need is a similar modified version of Quantum Mechanics that
describes space and time. To be a
quantum, space and time must not be continuous but rather made up of discrete
fragments, or quanta. The same analogy
as light being bundles of energy, quanta called photons.
-
- In Quantum Mechanics all particles of matter
and energy can also be described as waves.
This is called the Wave-Particle Duality. Waves have the unusual property that they can
exist in the same location at the same time.
Particles on the other hand can not share the same space at the same
time. If time is quanta it could exist
as waves piled up on top of each other in a space that does not exist. This appears to be an impossible
situation. Time may not even exist at
the most fundamental level of physical reality.
-
- The smallest unit of time is thought to be
the Planck Time of 10^-43 seconds.
-
- That is: .000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,1
seconds.
-
- It is the time it takes a photon traveling at
the speed of light to cross the distance of a Planck Length which is 4*10^-35
meters.
-
- Planck Time is derived from the fundamental
constants of Gravity, Planck’s Constant, and the Speed of light.
-
---------------------------
Planck Time^2 = G*h*c^5
-------------------------- G = 6.67*10^-11 meters^3/(kilograms*seconds^2)
-
-------------------------- h = 6.6*10^-34 kilogram*meter^2/seconds
-
-------------------------- c
= 3*10^8 meters / second
-
--------------------------
Planck Length^2 = G * h / c^3
-
- Time is measured in seconds which is defined
as the duration it takes hot cesium atoms to vibrate exactly 9,192,631,770
times. These are the ticks in an atomic
clock. Roughly a second is 1/86,400 of
one rotation of Earth. But, that is the
old definition of a second.
-
- The problem is that Earth’s rotation is
gradually slowly down. A calendar year
is 31,556,926 seconds, usually. Leap
seconds are periodically added to one day during the year to keep astronomical
time in step with the Standard Clocks.
One second has been added to our years 19 times since 1972.
-
- The standard clock consists of 54 different
cesium atomic and hydrogen maser clocks located around the world. Their timekeeping is merged together to keep
any one drift caused by minor environmental changes in line with the rest. The clocks are synchronized every 100
seconds. Laggards and speedsters are
instantly tweaked into line with the majority.
Democracy in action.
-
- Comparison with the natural time caused by
Earth’s orbit rotation in space it is made by a
network of 462 very distant quasars as our coordinating system. Quasars are rotating neutron stars which send
a beam like a light house. The ticks of
a rotating quasar are thought to be the most accurate clocks in the
Universe. Astronomers and physicists try
to keep the two clock systems in synchronization. However, Einstein proved that that was
impossible. No two clocks in relative
motion can be synchronized. We just get
as close as we can.
-
- Time is ticking and it is not on your side.
