I'm wondering if time is just a way we have to "measure" how things change its characteristics in space. Is that correct?
kent davidge said:If you have, say, a body which never changes itself, then the time is not running for that body.
What does that mean?kent davidge said:the time is not running for that body
There is no physical meaning of time (or of anything else), because meaning is not physical. When you inquire into meaning, you are doing philosophy not science, regardless of whether that was your intent.kent davidge said:I'm trying to understand what is the physical meaning of time
What about photons?Drakkith said:Time is always running for all objects, regardless of whether they are "changing themselves" or not.
I'm just going to give the complicated answer:kent davidge said:I'm wondering if time is just a way we have to "measure" how things change its characteristics in space. Is that correct?
Time is a concept that is used to describe the sequence and duration of events. It is typically measured using units such as seconds, minutes, hours, days, and years.
This is a debated question among scientists. Some argue that time is a fundamental physical quantity, while others believe it is a human construct based on our perception and measurement of it.
While we can manipulate how we measure time, such as through the use of clocks and calendars, the physical properties of time cannot be changed. Time moves forward at a constant rate and cannot be controlled or manipulated by humans.
Our understanding of time has evolved over the centuries, from a purely philosophical concept to a physical quantity that can be measured and studied. With advancements in science and technology, our understanding of time continues to deepen and expand.
At this time, time travel is not possible according to our current understanding of physics. The idea of traveling back in time is often explored in science fiction, but there is no scientific evidence to support its feasibility.
