Is time a fundamental?
Space and time are so fundamental to our understanding of the universe that they are woven into nearly every equation in physics.
What does physics say about time?
The modern understanding of time is based on Einstein’s theory of relativity, in which rates of time run differently depending on relative motion, and space and time are merged into spacetime, where we live on a world line rather than a timeline.
How does time relate to energy?
Time is not directly related to energy itself, but it is definitely related to many aspects of energy. For example, the direction of time (from past to future) can be determined by the flow of energy in the universe. This concept is known as entropy.
Is time a matter or energy?
Time is neither one of the above. Matter and energy exist within the confines of time, or within the existence of time. Time is considered the 4th dimension stemming from Einstein’s general theory of relativity. Time is a measure of the continuity of existence of space and everything that exists within the space,…
What is the fundamental meaning of energy?
The fundamental meaning of energy is change. Concentrated energy in the form of mass changes the shape of space-time. Energy in the form of kinetic energy changes position of mass. Energy in the form of field (photon included) represents interaction between particles with mass, a form of change as well. Heat is a statistical form of kinetic energy.
Subsequent equations for momentum, distance, and acceleration are then derived that establish a direct link between the time and energy theory and the principles of an earlier theory, the millennium theory of relativity.
What is time and why does it exist?
Time is a measure of the continuity of existence of space and everything that exists within the space, with itself having to exist as a dimension. This article will refer to the above and expand on these ideas with respect to the Big Bang, absence of time before, inception of time later, and other ideas…
