The Start of Time

At the Big bang event, photon radiation entered the universe. The energy was equal to the frequency of the photons moving at the speed of light. 

Is there a relationship between energy and motion in the meaning of time? 

Time began when humans started to measure the motion of the day and the duration of events with the moon's cycles.

Time and the History of Motion

In the beginning, humans noticed the motion of events when the sun moved across the sky from sunrise to sunset. 

To measure longer periods, they used the motion of the moon. Each full moon to the next full moon took about 29 days. 

Thousands of years ago, Greeks used a water clock by measuring the flow of water into a container. That was the first way humans used motion to make a simple clock. 

The next invention was an hourglass that used the flow of sand in a glass bottle to measure time. The saying "she has an hourglass figure" comes from the shape of an hourglass. 

In 1656 the pendulum clock was invented to measure time using a swinging arm attached to a heavyweight. 

The pendulum clock was a reasonably accurate timepiece until the 1930s. 

The quartz clock came out in 1927, it uses a current of electricity to vibrate a quartz crystal, and the frequency of the quartz moves the clock's mechanism. 

Finally, the atomic clock measures the number of photons emitted from a cesium-133 atom's orbital electrons. The cesium clock is accurate within one second in ten million years. 

Did you notice that none of these measuring tools measure time? They all measure a type of motion and then convert that motion into time. 

People seem to make the error of thinking that time is the same as motion. 

Something in the relationship between energy and motion is the meaning of time.

What is Motion

The motion of light that entered the universe must have had a force that created the movement. 

Motion is in everything in the universe. Motion is a physical aspect of matter that we measure as a frequency or speed. 

Without motion, nothing can happen or exist.

The universe didn't begin without motion, the motion must have started before the Big bang event. 

The motion moves forward at the speed of light, so let’s consider that the speed of light and the speed of motion are equal. 

It's not only the speed of light but all electromagnetism and the speed of electrons (energy). 

The frequency of light can change so that its speed is always constant, and the speed of light is constant for all frames of reference. 

The frequency of light is relative to its energy, as evident in red and blue-shifted starlight.

Light always travels at 3 x 10^8 meters per second, and energy is part of that invariant speed. E=mc2. 

An electron's energy (frequency) is the determining factor for the photon's frequency. 

Einstein received his Nobel prize for his photoelectric theory that proved light consists of discrete particles or quanta called photons. 

For energy to create the Big Bang, the energy must have been in motion. 

The speed of light is always constant, even in water or glass (between bumping into other atoms). The index of refraction measures the average speed. 

But the motion of light is constant, and the speed of light is unchanging.

Light only slows down when photons hit an atom or a molecule's electrons. 

Then the electron releases a new photon in the matter, and it travels at the speed of light until it hits another particle. 

This time delay between bumping into things slows down the speed in a medium. 

The motion of energy is always moving, so change is the only constant in the universe.

The Force of Motion

If something is in motion it had to start with a force. 

Newton's law of motion states that a body will continue to move in the same direction and motion unless acted upon by another force. 

We don't know what force started the movement into the universe, but the motion has energy. 

When a bullet leaves a gun, the bullet has kinetic energy (motion energy). A photon leaves an electron with the energy that the electron gave it. 

Photons have energy (frequency) and they have the equivalence of relativistic mass, E=mc2.

Your Time in Motion  

"Life is a progression of motion, and a clock measures the rate and duration of the motion as time.” 

Your life on Earth moves with the motion of the planet, and you live your life while moving in motion. 

A clock is an invention based on the duration of one day and one year on Earth. 

Clocks measure motion by comparing it to Earth’s motion. 

We have even measured the speed of light compared to a second. 

The time on a clock moves with the motion of Earth. 

A measurement of a motion is the number of seconds it took to move a certain distance, but numbers are not real, the motion we measure is real. 

Science has never given a fundamental definition of time without using our Earth’s system of time. 

We don’t know how to define time because we think that time has always existed. 

We measure motion and say that the measurement is time. 

Time is involved in every branch of physics and everything we do. 

Always try to remember that time is only a measurement based on the motion of the Earth and then converted into seconds. 

Many have a difficult time understanding the difference between motion and time. 

Time is a number you see on a clock, and time is what a clock shows. 

Time doesn’t move, flow, or travel. Time is a measurement of things that move, flow, or travel. 

The clock’s ticking moves, and the numbers on a clock move, but the clock itself is not moving. 

The arrow of time has a direction to go forward and increase in numbers, but time has no motion.

Your Train Ride in Life

Let me take you on an imaginary train ride. 

When you look at the train tracks where you came from, you can see your past and memories. 

When you look at the train tracks in front of the train, you only see the tracks but nothing else because you haven't been there yet. 

You are born, you live, and you die. You can't leave the train (your vehicle) and travel on the tracks that represent motion. 

Your place on the train is your life that's happening now. 

The motion of your train ride moves your life forward towards your future. 

You live in your moment, remember your past, and plan for your future. 

How long your train ride lasts is the measure of how long you live. Your life and time are for you to use during your train ride.

You use a clock to keep track of your day and a calendar to keep track of your memories. 

A clock is a timekeeping tool you use during your life of motion. 

The train tracks of your life (motion) are twisted like a corkscrew, but the measurement of your time is linear, like a straight line. 

Likewise, the arrow of timekeeping is linear, but the motion of your life is like a corkscrew. 

Your life takes place on the train during its linear time. The train ride is your vehicle of motion, and it moves where you move. 

You should think about time like this. 

Time is how you experience living, but you don't experience time. You experience events (motion). 

Your life keeps happening, and timekeeping moves on. Timekeeping records the events that are happening to you. 

You move forward from one event to another. Make the most of it and enjoy your ride.
