Thinking about Time.

As I do from time to time, I was thinking about scientific theory and was just running through my head what ‘time’ really is. It is said to be a fourth dimension, like the familiar 3 (up, down; forwards, back; side to side). These 3 dimensions are all 90 degrees to each other, think of a cube where the corners meet. The fourth dimensions would be 90 degrees to all three other dimensions, if you have a cube try to create it by trying to put a fourth line that is 90 degrees to the other three (it can’t be done). But that would be a fourth dimension and this is what time is supposed to be.

The thing is that Time is said to always be moving forwards like water in a river flowing. I don’t think this is right, I would say Time is like an ocean and we are floating in it, under ‘water’, completely surrounded by this “water time’. We move with it, it moves around us but stays with us. What is really the ‘passing of time’ is the changes and interaction of the ‘water time’ with us. It is always changing and this change is what is what we perceive as the moving of time. There is no past or future or present, time does not pass.

We think of time as the ticking of a clock, but that is a man made property, there are no clocks in the universe, though some people would say that the spinning of certain particles or decay of certain atoms are natural clocks. I still say no, we find something that fits our need and call it a clock, nature does not care, only man would care. So Time is this dimension that surrounds us, surrounds everything, and fills the universe. Planets, stars, galaxies and everything else in the universe displace Time. This effects the property of Time, time wants to be uniform but the matter causes changes in the consistency of Time. This is what we perceive as the Einstein effects on space/time as described in his theory.   

I will write more about this......
