Time is an arrow, from the center of the nucleus, to the electron shell
radius.
When a group of atoms, are travelling together at relavistic speeds, the
normal
interactions between them are in the same time frame.
Groups of atoms that are left behind on earth, and not travelling at
relativistic
speeds, are also interacting together in THEIR own time frame.
Compare the two groups of atoms, say for instance that both groups
of atoms happen to be twin brothers, and you will notice that one
aged more than the other.
Why is that?
Aging is a process of atoms interacting.
So what does that tell you about time?
Time is a part of the way atoms interact.
So how do they interact? Through gravity or electromagnetism
or the other forces.
But does time exist?
Yes, relative to the workings of atoms. Atomic clocks measure time.
So you can say that the universe is x number of billions of years old,
but time is a relative local process in accordane with two measurements.
We think of the big bang as one, and now as the second.
But what do we really know?
We _think that the big bang happened, and an inflationary period ensued,
and at that point, the universe looked almost as it does today.
Then it somehow slowed almost to a standstill in size, but kept on expanding
into hyperspace. That which is outside of the universe. The universe itself,
that is all matter and em waves, is a self contained system. Outside of that
there
is no space or time as there are no reference points to measure with.
That imaginary space or hyperspace, is everywhere between two points.
One of the greatest mysteries of the universe, is how energy gets from a to
b.
>From one point to another, when hypothetically, you can divide the distance
between two points to infinity.
The way physics overcomes this obstacle is to assume that spacetime,
has flat sections, like small rods. But are they connected? If so how do
they
move separately? If not, what is between them? A lubricant?
You see what this leads to. All quantum states existing simultaneously,
and us existing in a small set of these states, and that is our universe,
in the infinite multiverse of universes.
Time is a real thing. An atomic clock is consistent. Something is
consistently keeping time. Atomic workings are at regular intervals.
God knows why, but it is that way.
My guess it is the substance of the universe and the expansion of the
universe,
which determines its regularity.
