- 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.
