Simultaneous Time and Absolute Simultaneity
When something happens at the exact moment as something else, it's said to be simultaneous or happening at the same time.
Einstein pointed out that two distant events that are happening at the same time are not happening at the same time if viewed from a different location (frame of reference).
I have another way of thinking about time.
I think the universe has an absolute moment and absolute simultaneity of events.
Let’s say the events of the universe are recorded on a universal video, and an explosion happens in the Sun.
Everything the video records is happening instantly at the exact moment.
No one sees the video and everyone is at their location while the video is recording this event. Right?
But we experience each event of the universe at different moments (not time).
Imagine that a station on the moon notices the electromagnetic energy, and a few seconds later, it’s observed on Earth.
The video shows where everyone is at the exact time that the explosion happened.
On Earth, a person was sitting at a computer doing whatever. On the moon, a person was enjoying the view.
They don’t know what just happened to the Sun.
Then about 8 minutes later, a flash of light energy speeds past the person on the moon.
A few seconds later, the computer screen on Earth shows an anomaly.
Everyone eventually experiences the same event, but at their location and moment.
The reason for the delay is because of the speed of light.
The Sun’s explosion happened in the universe at a specific moment. Everyone will experience the event when it reaches them.
Absolute Motion and Simultaneity
The universe has an absolute motion, and events happen at the exact moment everywhere.
But we can’t witness the events simultaneously because of the vast distances.
The simultaneity of the Sun’s solar flare or the moment of a supernova is experienced by the universe at the same moment but at different moments for others.
It doesn’t make sense to talk about a time or a time delay because we don't know when an event occurred, and the universe doesn't care.
We only experience our present moment.
Don't think in terms of time. Think in terms of the motion.
The motion in the universe is constantly moving, but you don't experience it until it arrives at your present moment.
You don’t experience things in the future or the past.
You are living in the present moment of motion in the universe, and you can’t move forward or backward in this motion.
Einstein made the mistake of measuring the time difference between events by using the difference in the speed of light to travel to your moment.
When you measure the time it takes light to move, you get different times in the universe depending on your speed or frame of reference.
But I'm showing you that there is only one absolute age (time) of the universe.
Time doesn't even exist except on a clock, and that's why I always say at the present moment.
I’m trying to explain that the universe has an absolute age, and events happen simultaneously during the universe's video.
There is a simultaneity of events in the universe, but the events are experienced at different times as the motion reaches you.
Then you experience those moments at your present moment as the universe moves the information to your location.
Clocks and the Present Moment
The confusion is that you think time has the physical power to make events happen.
Time doesn’t move because time is a measurement of motion.
The motion we measure is moving, and the time on a clock is moving.
The confusion is solved when you realize that clocks can move faster or slower because clocks tick relative to the force of gravity. Time is what a clock shows.
Clocks measure the speed of motion, and the measurement is called time.
The present moment in the universe moves at the same speed everywhere.
Stop thinking that time is moving. It's the motion that’s moving.
The fastest motion in the universe is the speed of light, and the universe moves forward at the speed of light.
The universe has an absolute moment of motion that is the exact moment everywhere.
This moment moves at the speed of light into the future, and we could call it the movement of absolute simultaneity.
The electrons in your body are moving at the speed of light around atoms, and quarks are oscillating inside your atoms at the speed of light.
Sunlight is moving toward us, and only this present moment exists.
The Future Starts at the Present Moment
If you are in Ukraine at this moment and you see a flash of light from a gunshot, it's a moment of the universe’s motion as light enters your eye.
By the time you process seeing the light, the bullet hits you in your present moment.
Meanwhile, the motion of light and electrons are happening at the speed of light while you are falling down.
The light from the gunshot is reaching the moon while you are slowly falling.
We experience motion slowly, but the motion of light and energy is moving at light speed.
Don’t confuse time with the motion. Time doesn’t move the universe.
We move with the universe's motion into the future that hasn’t happened.
Nothing can move faster than the motion of the universe.
You are a human experiencing life in slow motion.
You live in the motion of the universe at each present moment.
You and I use the time to keep track of our daily events but let's start to think of motion as the reality.
Time is a Concept of Motion
The concept of time comes from the constant motion of the Earth.
We define everything in physics with motion and time.
Scientists use a clock to measure the speed of objects or the duration of events.
Our invention of clocks allows us to measure and label motion into personal moments.
Time is how we define and describe events in our life.
The only way we can easily understand events is to label them with time using timekeeping tools (clocks and calendars).
We use clocks that show the time, and time lets us describe everything we see and do.
Things move by a force of energy, but it’s easier to describe motion with clocks.
The time on a clock shows how fast things move as a function of time instead of motion and energy.
We need timekeeping tools like clocks and calendars to keep track of events in our daily life.
Time is an easy way to label the things that we do.
But we make the mistake of thinking that time makes things happen.
The reality is that time is a number that describes our events.
But the motion of events is caused by a force of energy.
We move in our present moment within the absolute motion of the universe.
