Oh gawd .. not this AGAIN.

Try wikipedia for a start

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time

.... 'time does not refer to any kind of "container" that events and objects
"move through", nor to any entity that "flows", but that it is instead part
of a fundamental intellectual structure (together with space and number)
within which humans sequence and compare events. This second view, in the
tradition of Gottfried Leibniz[5] and Immanuel Kant,[6][7] holds that time
is neither an event nor a thing, and thus is not itself measurable nor can
it be travelled.'

'Immanuel Kant, in the Critique of Pure Reason, described time as an a
priori intuition that allows us (together with the other a priori intuition,
space) to comprehend sense experience.[26] With Kant, neither space nor time
are conceived as substances, but rather both are elements of a systematic
mental framework that necessarily structures the experiences of any rational
agent, or observing subject.'

'In 5th century BC Greece, Antiphon the Sophist, in a fragment preserved
from his chief work On Truth held that: "Time is not a reality (hypostasis),
but a concept (no�ma) or a measure (metron)." Parmenides went further,
maintaining that time, motion, and change were illusions, leading to the
paradoxes of his follower Zeno.[28] Time as illusion is also a common theme
in Buddhist thought,[29] and some modern philosophers have carried on with
this theme. J. M. E. McTaggart's 1908 The Unreality of Time, for example,
argues that time is unreal (see also The flow of time).'

Man has been dealing with questions such as 'what is time' 'what is space'
for hundreds of years. Your arrogance that your simplistic notion is
something new is mind-boggling. It may well have been new for you at the
time, but don't kid yourself that noone else had thought of that and more
before and after.

-------------
you quoted a lot of phylosophy abut time
whether there is an absolute time or if it is
one of natures basics
but i ddint see there my definition of time
as
**motion comparison to some arbitrary motion reference **!!

and non of them stated that
if all those motion references
will change by the same rate
(including the elctrons in your brain etc )---
NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO NOTICE IT !!
(if i am not wrong that is unprecedented

unles you bring quotes that it is precedented
untill now you ddint bring quotes to that !!)

and it means as well that time is not natures invention
bot a human arbitrary definition

a lot of your references are talking about
the *universal time * ie something that is not
human defined !
ie
not dependent on human existence
i showed among the others that here is no universal time
that is sort of independent on human existence
etc etc

There is no such thing as mutual time dilation. All clocks in relative
motion are running at different rates. That's why the passage of a
clock second in A's frame does not correspond to the passage of a
clock second in B's frame.

This shows me that you don't understand SR/GR. The GPS is a combined
SR/GR effect. The gravitational effect is 45 us/day running fast and
the velocity effect (SR effect) is 7 us/day running slow and the
combined effect is 38 us/day running fast. This is converted to 4.15
more periods of Cs 133 radiation for the GPS second. This redefinition
of the GPS second is to make the passage of a GPS second corresponds
to the passage of a ground clokc second.

That's not just my opinion.....the speed of light is a circular
definition as follows:
1 light-second/1 second.
This means that the speed of light can be anything you want.
This means that I can walk at a speed of c as follows:
1 walk meter = 1/299,792,458 walk second.
Therefore my walking speed is 299,792,458 walk-meters/1 second.

Sure it got everything to do with length.....the current definition
for length is:
1 meter = 1/299,792,458 light second.

So the definition for a unit of time also defines the unit of
length ....Right?

Then tell me how did they measure the speed of light before the new
definition for length based on the speed of light is estabvlished.
