Time does not exist. There is only motion.

Time is a tool developed from recurring motions like the rotation of the Earth on its axis and its orbit around the Sun. We call those a day and a year, respectively. Time is an invention, an abstract concept, it exists purely in our minds. Time is not a natural Law of physics or anything of the sort. Other examples of time, like the second or the hour, are merely fractions of the two main motions – Earth’s rotation and orbit.

Consider the sundial. It relies on the Earth’s rotation, in turn on the motion of the shadow created by sunlight through a stick. Or the hourglass, where sand flows through at a fairly constant rate due to its fairly consistent size, friction, etc. The same with a water clock, where water flows. Each of these examples of what we call clocks, are in fact examples of motion, not of time. Look at any clock, what do you see? Motion. Even a digital clock is just motion, though we don’t see it because it’s in the form of electrons flowing across semi-conductors, high frequency quartz oscillators, controller chip, display, etc.

We often hear “time is relative”. What this truly means is “motion is relative”, because that’s all there is – motion. Time is relative, we mostly hear that in the context of physics and science, i.e. gravity, black holes, speed of light, etc. Time is used in science all the time (even our language is bound to time) to measure and explains things like velocity, acceleration, gravity, power, flow rates, etc, etc, etc. Irony. Time does not exist, it’s an abstract concept, a mind trick. How is it even possible to explain the nature of things by using a mind trick? The very foundation of science, its most basic principle, is to see things as they are. A mind trick just gets in the way. Indeed, as far as I’m aware, motion is yet to be explained. Sure, we got the Laws of Motion – incidentally described using time – but nothing to explain what motion is.

Ever watched a movie or a show about time travel? If we buy into the idea that time exists, it makes sense, the rules, the paradoxes, all of it. But the instant we decide that time does not exist, time travel becomes a joke. Even genuine scientists fall for the idea and make up all kinds of ways to travel through time, publish papers on it and gain prestige and respect as a result. What kind of respect and prestige a scientist would get by writing and publishing a paper on a joke?

Time, as a tool, is used every day by everybody. Its primary purpose is to synchronize the group’s activities. If there’s just one guy, he doesn’t need a clock, basic instincts and empirical knowledge suffice. But put a few guys together, one of them is bound to throw a party eventually. When? Next Saturday at 8, I got beer, you bring chips. In fact, this same event can be described purely as a function of motion. Let’s say today is Wednesday 8 o’clock for simplification, so this makes next Saturday four Earth’s rotation on its axis, and the hour – 8 o’clock – is the start of the 21st 1/24 of the Earth’s rotation on its axis.

Now here’s a confusing fact about the clock. The 1st hour isn’t called 1 o’clock, it’s called midnight. When the clock says 1 o’clock, it means 1 hour has passed since the beginning of the day – the 1st hour of the day. In effect, a clock doesn’t tell us what time it is, it tells us how much time – how much motion – has passed since the beginning, or the zero point, of the day. For calendar days and months, it’s different. The number of the day and month is the nth day of the month, the nth month of the year. There is no Day 0 or Month 0, as opposed to 00:00:00 for the hour:minute:second, see? Here, the calendar tells us which time – which motion – is flowing – or occurring – now. But then for the calendar year, it’s back to year zero being the 1st year. Centuries and millenias are the same, i.e. 21st Century means the period from 00:00:00 January 1st 2000 to 23:59:59 December 31st 2099, and the third millenium means the period from 00:00:00 January 1st 2000 to 23:59:59 December 31st 2999.

Imagine we spelled it out at length, but by illustrating motion rather than time, just for kicks. Today for example, is 19:54 1/4/2018, so it would be, bear with me on this one, 2,018 Earth orbits, plus 3 (this is the key, Day 4 is in progress, not yet passed, so is Month 1 not yet passed and in progress, see?) Earth’s rotations, plus 19 1/24 of Earth’s rotation, plus 54 1/60 of 1/24 of Earth’s rotation, have occurred since Second 0 (the 1st 1/60 of the 1st 1/60 of the 1st 1/24, of and during the 1st Earth rotation, of and during the 1st Earth orbit, and so forth) of Minute 0 of Hour 0 of Day 1 (during the 1st Earth rotation) of Month 1 (during the 1st 28/29/30/31 Earth rotations group) of Year 0 (during the 1st Earth orbit). Euh, phew.

Now for something different.

The Sun, Earth, Moon, indeed the entire solar system which is probably about 1LY (which is literally the distance _travelled_ by photons in a straight line, _while_ the Earth orbits once around the Sun – relative motion, see?) wide or something like that, all orbit something bigger, much much much bigger. There’s a black hole at the center of our galaxy, that’s what we orbit. For now this means that as the Earth rotates on its axis, and the Earth orbits the Sun, and we stand on that planet, we move in a spinning corkscrew fashion. Then, as the Earth orbits the Sun, and the Sun orbits a black hole, another spinning corkscrew fashion. But then, the black hole also moves, maybe in orbit around something else – the point is, yet another spinning corkscrew fashion. Question is, what’s the likelihood that we’ll be back to the same point in space? Yeah, in this sense, it’s always forward motion, never back to the same point. Ever. Each second, minute, hour, month, year, century, millenium – is unique – never to occur again. Not because of some mysterious linear time thing, but simply because of where any of this motion occurs – never twice at the same place.

The above is just my way of explaining what Nassim Haramein often explains – much better than I do – in his lectures.

OK, maybe you just freaked out at the “never to occur again” thing. It’s probably because you still see time as time. You’re stuck. Let me un-stuck you. Time is unexplained, mysterious, yet somehow infallible, rigid and unmoving, and absolutely certain, in a sort of twisted way. I started this by saying “Time does not exist. There is only motion.” If we think time exists as something fundamental, we probably think in these terms for example. The certainty of death, of growing old and decrepit, progressive deterioration of things, wear and tear, finality, fatality, and so forth. Even though there’s only motion – only forward motion – keep in mind that we make new useful things from decrepit useless things, or from shapeless matter and materials like metal ore and minerals. We fix things, things that were broken down, that progressively deteriorated. We replace parts, something that stopped working, can now work again. We improve things. We do all this in forward motion, not as a backward let’s go back in time thing.

In human biology (not an expert, I dabble in nutrition and health, whatever), I started contemplating something of a paradox.

I believe that we have basically only two innate abilities. First, the ability to grasp and suck tit. Second, the ability to learn. Never mind the first, focus on the second. The ability to learn means we get better with motion – practice. Yet, and herein lies the paradox, we grow old and decrepit, and finally die in spite of our best efforts not to. Apparently, practice doesn’t work for this. Something’s wrong here. This ability to learn is a function of our DNA, of our genes, or our cells, of our biology as a whole. Yet our biology somehow can’t learn from its experience. It doesn’t get better, it gets worse. It’s as if it forgets rather than remembers. The paradox is that although our biology progressively forgets and becomes stupider, we progressively learn new things, remember more and more, get better with practice, develop new skills and improve them, become smarter and make better decisions. As an example, consider what you’re reading right now. I’m writing this as a result of significant thought on this and many other topics, yet I’m growing old and sick as I do so and have been for a few years now. Maybe you think it’s BS, maybe you don’t. I rather think it’s interesting, at least, if not true. Had you asked me about time and motion a few dozen Earth orbits earlier, I wouldn’t have given it a single thought, well maybe one or two, but that’s it.

It’s a paradox because the whole moves forward – progresses – while the individual bits seem to move backward – to regress. Imagine a computer that gets better, faster, more powerful, can compute more and more complex equations, yet in order for this to occur, its components degrade more quickly, break down and must be replaced more often, are generally less efficient, effective and reliable. How is that even possible? The whole is the sum of its parts. If its parts are shit, the whole is too. Oh, we could argue formula 1 cars for example, that break down within a few hundred Kms. That’s very different. Many innovations from racing made their way to consumer vehicles, making them more reliable (materials, fabrication methods, etc), more powerful (electronic control, fuel injection, 4 valves per cylinder, synchro transmission, dual clutch, etc), more comfortable (active suspension, radial tires, etc), more ergonomic (assisted steering and ABS braking, automatic transmission, etc) and so forth. Think of racing as the R&D team for our collective benefit. Even here, race cars and motorcycles and you-name-its have become more reliable more powerful more everything. Even here, racing moves forward in spite of its parts degrading more quickly than would be expected from the progress that comes out of it.

No. In biology, the whole inherits qualities of its bits. Why do the bits – who gave the whole all their qualities, i.e. the ability to learn, develop and improve skills, get smarter, etc – seem to lack these very same qualities? Something’s wrong here, I’m gonna find out what it is and fix it. If not, then think about it. This ain’t like going back to a point in the past – some absurd time travel. It’s moving forward to a point further down the road. Even when we’re trying to restore things to their original state, we do it as forward motion.

Time does not exist. There is only motion.
