TIME
What is this thing we call TIME? Is it only a manmade word to
denote increments of events from one to the other as a record of
spacing and interval? Does TIME really have substance? Factors
or elements that can be engineered which stem from the fabric of
all Space/Time itself? The "CONTINUUM" where all matter and
energy comes from and returns to as a never ending pool of
existence?
If you will follow our thinking on this matter we can give
you a glimpse into a world where physical rules SEEM to be
broken. Events take on a different meaning and one's
imagination is pushed to the limits and then beyond. THE TIME
BARRIER-Can it be broken or at the least bent? We say yes, but
first we must establish a solid definition of the word TIME and
just what it stands for.
Classical Definition, Oxford Reference-"A Concise Dictionary of
PHYSICS"
TIME: "A dimension that enables two otherwise identical events
that occur at the same point in space to be distinguished [see
space-time]. The interval between two such events forms the basis
of time measurement."
As you can see the above Classical definition of TIME is shallow
and incomplete. In order for us to talk in depth on the subject,
as must be done to fully understand what TIME really is, we must
examine what fabric TIME may or may not have to know if it is a
tangible and engineerable entity. Where shall we begin, or does
Time really have a beginning? It turns out that in order to grasp
any concept of a time entity, we must go back to where all
matter, energy and creation emanates: the Continuum or Space/Time
itself, the fabric of all existence. The words Space/Time used
when talking about relativity are our first clue to what time
might be. These two words indicate that the Continuum consists of
a factor of Space and one of Time. This still does not tell us
what the Time entity is. How do these two factors relate on a
graph. This perhaps will give us a glimpse of any orientation and
substance.
DRAWING THE LINE
We will draw a line and let it represent Space which at this
stage is better known as pure energy. At this point the line
[Energy] and [Time] are one and the same. [See Fig.1] We must
define our term of Energy however before we can assign it this
property.
