What exactly is absolute Time and Space?

-
After understanding the history of the concept of time and space, we will discuss here what exactly is Time. Can we say absolute Time and Space are the real Time and Space? 

 

In this chapter we will explore the properties of the ab. Time and Space dimension to measure the existence. As concluded in previous chapter about infinite Existence, we will re-define these dimensions to check the possibility of this ab. Time and Space to be applied beyond Bigbang.

To elaborate the topic – let’s understand dimensions first:

Dimension:

It can be defined as the measure of a particular property of an entity (Existence or part of Existence).

Basic dimensions:                    Mass, Length, Time, Temperature etc.

S.I. Unit of dimensions:         Kilogram, Meter, Second, Kelvin etc.

Mathematical entities:            Volume, Cube, Line, Area, Triangle etc.

We can clearly make a distinction for spatial dimension; Length is just a mathematical dimension but certainly not a physical entity. Basic dimension and mathematical entities are also not physical entities such as: length of a line is not a physical entity itself. The mathematical dimensions and mathematical entities can be applied on to a physical entity to measure it or describe it, but without physical entity, these dimensions cannot become a physical entity themselves. (See picture below)

By exploring the case of spatial dimensions such as length, breadth and height, we see these dimensions can be combined together to measure a certain area (length x breadth) or volume (length x breadth x height). And if no boundary condition applied to them, then this area and volume can be regarded as plane and space respectively. But these are not physical entities themselves; they just become another mathematical entities/dimensions again.

 

 
Picture: A cubic physical entity

The mathematical entities (line, length etc.), word from a language (table, chair etc.) and various theories of science and philosophy are just a form of knowledge/information. This knowledge/information of any entity is not the actual entity itself but just a symbol to measure/describe actual entity.

Absolute Time and Absolute Space

Aristotle defined time as a measure of continuous motion of infinitely existing universe; hence time is also infinite in nature. We have also discussed in our previous chapter that Existence is infinite in nature and so is the continuous change of state of existence. We are going to proceed further with some developments and corrections in the definition of ab. Time and Space given by Isaac Newton. Let’s define ab. Time and Space to proceed further:

Absolute Time (ab. Time) :

It is a mathematical dimension to measure the change of state (any motion) of Existence (includes universe/multiverse/entire creation).

Absolute Space (ab. Space) :

It is a mathematical dimension to measure the spatial expanse of Existence (includes universe/multiverse/entire creation).

If we consider ab. Time and ab. Space as mathematical dimensions, then the measurement of one unit of dimension will not be affected by any entity of Existence and it would also be able to measure upto infinite value. It means the value of a unit of these mathematical dimensions would remain constant irrespective of any change in the property of any physical entity of Existence. It is similar to mathematical numbers such as: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5….. The values of these mathematical constants are always same. It can never be affected by any physical entity of Existence. Once we derive the unit of ab. time and ab. space by fixing multiple parameters, then in the case of variation in a particular parameter, we will always be able to retrieve the measurement of original unit with the help of other parameters. This will ensure the measurement of particular dimensional unit to work as mathematical constant without being affected.

If the ab. Time and ab. Space will be considered just as mathematical dimensions to measure Existence then the application of these dimensions will need a physical entity (part of existence) to be applied upon. Let’s take two different examples to understand ab. Time and Space.

Example 1:

Considering a situation where ab. Space can be understood as a mathematical dimension to measure spatial expanse of Existence as physical entity.

The density outside the earth’s atmosphere is less than 1 hydrogen atom per cubic centimetre. So we can consider the distance between the 2 hydrogen atoms is min. 1 centimetre. Only if we consider spatial expanse as a physical entity of Existence between them, then only we will be able to observe the distance between 2 hydrogen atoms. Else we would not be able to observe distance between them, because there is empty vacuum only and nothing else exists between them. And if we consider this empty spatial expanse as Non-Existence then there should not be any distance between them.

Example 2:

Considering a situation where ab. Time can be understood as a mathematical dimension to measure the change of state of Existence.

Let’s suppose a train is running at the speed of 100 kms per hour and we know Earth’s rotational speed is equal to:

1 rotation/day = 360 degrees/24 hours = 15 degrees/hour

It means earth is rotating 15 degrees in one hour. So one hour can be replaced with 15 degrees rotation of earth, so the speed of train can be represented as 100 kms/15 degree rotation of earth. Hence the speed of train can be measured by the change of states of Existence.

However earth’s rotational speed is not a very precise universal instrument to measure change of state of Existence. The measurement of unit which will be least affected by any physical condition can be fixed as a unit of ab. Time. In the coming chapter of “Spacetime and time travel” we will discuss new technologies (which are already under development stage) to measure the change of state of Existence without being affected by any local physical condition so that the value of a single unit of time will remain as constant.

 

We can conclude that this newly developed definition of “ab. Time & Space” provides us the required dimension to measure the Existence without being affected by any physical entity and local physical conditions. Let’s see how it will be like to travel in time. Moving forward to our next two questions:

What is Absolute Time and Time travel?

And

What is Spacetime and time travel?

An interesting history of Time and Space

In this chapter we will explore the how the different concept of time and space got evolved into today's science theories. Right from the Aristotle to Einstein to Stephen Hawking Since the time of Aristotle to Newton to Einstein, the history of time and space changed drastically, the possibilities of time being a progression of motion entity to a physical entity as spacetime. There are many philosophies and theories on time and space, so here we are going to discuss the summarized aspect of those theories to get the basic understanding of time and space throughout history of philosophy and science. This development in the philosophy of time and space is very crucial for us to proceed further in this book. Plato – 4 th  century BCE The philosophers from ancient Greece were among the first to the raise question on nature of time. They discussed in detail, what exactly is time, whether it is  linear  or  cyclical , whether time is  infin...

Spacetime and Time Travel

Spacetime and Time Travel This chapter raise most fundamental questions on the Theory of Relativity and its basic assumptions. Also it will provide detail explanation of Time travel in relative Spacetime.     To start this chapter of Spacetime and time travel, I will highlight our time measurement techniques once. We measure time through different types of clocks, and clocks are the devices to measure unit of time defined by us (S.I units). It might very precisely measure the unit of time depending on the technology but we know that it is just a human made device to measure the change of state of Existence. These clocks cannot measure the unit of time independently without being affected by the physical laws of existence and have to abide by these laws. Special Theory of Relativity Spacetime terminology came into discussion when Albert Einstein gave the Special Theory of Relativity  in 1905. According to this theory Space and Time are one physical entity called Spa...

Why should we use the term Existence instead of Universe?

Existence and Universe   Here, we are going to discuss why should we call our Universe as a part of Existence and what are the things which could exist beyond our Universe.   The word Existence has been chosen instead of Creation or Universe or Multiverse because here it is representing the Entire Existence (from here onwards denoted by Existence / EE on many occasions) which can exist . We have used the word Existence instead of Creation because creation can be considered to come under the definition of Existence (EE). Existence is a bigger entity that includes any entity that has been created anytime and also the entities that always existed. Regarding the word Universe , if anything exists beyond it (outside or before/after) then it can also be said to be the part of Existence . Hence in case of Multiverse (more universes) exists outside of our universe then it can also be included in the definition of Existence. In other case of nothing existing beyond our curre...

  In this chapter we will explore the theories that describes how our universe got started and what are our limitations upto now and what are the new possible theories explaining before everything got started.   In previous topic of ' an interesting history of Time and Space ', Isaac Newton gave the theory of absolute Time ( ab. Time ) and absolute Space ( ab. Space ). (from here onwards it is also represented as ab. Time & Space on many occasions). According to this theory ab. Time and Space are not affected by any entity of universe and they are infinite in nature. However there was another theory given by Einstein (theory of relativity) which says that Time and Space are one single physical entity called Spacetime , which bends and deform according to the presence of matter in universe. It has a definite start point called Bigbang explosion. According to the theory of relativity, the initial singularity was infinitely dense due to which there was infinite spacetime cur...

Absolute Time and Time Travel In this chapter we will explore the conditions to know how it will be like travelling in Absolute Time   Let’s start this chapter with a question; is it possible to change the present state of existence to the previous state of existence? All past states of existence were existed and they do not exist anymore. At present only present state of existence exists. Future states of existence are yet to exist and they do not exist till now. Although past and future state of existence do not exist now but they are part of Existence. These states of existence cannot be regarded as Non-existence according to the definition.   However changing the state of Entire Existence to previous or future state against the laws of physics (moment of inertia and second law of thermodynamics) is not possible. The state of whole existence has been changed in last moment and it is changing continuously by the laws of physics. This change of state is happening from a tin...

Why we need to know about absolute Time and Space?

Right now we are standing at the endpoint of whole past and at the same time we are standing at the start of all new future…    Welcome to the present!! Significance of this subject Let’s start with a sincere question, when and where do we come from? The human consciousness started asking this question from basic to the most complicated one, eventually to the quest of entire existence. This question has been bothering us since the earliest times, from Aristotle to Newton to Einstein . In early times, the philosophers were the pioneers to start finding these answers naturally because we humans are gifted with the gift of wisdom, imaginations, notions etc. and now science has given us new wings by bringing a new set of tools to observe scientific facts to better understand the entire creation. Philosophy only accepts the thing with a logical answer behind it whereas Science believes in observable evidence and mathematical calculations. We cannot define a scien...
