Your Big Bang Event
People say that time started at the Big Bang, or The Big Bang exploded and time began.
They think that time had the power to create the universe and that time continues to move it.
But time had nothing to do with the Big Bang event. Our understanding of time is flawed.
Big Blast-off Into 2022
Let's imagine that you planned to celebrate New Year's Eve 2022.
You fire a rocket to start the beginning of the year, and you take a video of the event to share on Facebook or social media.
You say that your rocket's explosion began at the stroke of midnight, and you shared the video 30 minutes later.
What are the events that took place?
Rocket fires at 12:01 am on January 1st, 2022. Video recording goes on Facebook at 12:30 am. Friends view the video and reply with Happy New Year messages.
Now ask yourself what does the time have to do with your events?
The time didn't make them happen.
Time on a clock tells you when to do something. Time doesn't create an activity unless you add a program to a clock, such as a wake-up alarm.
Time is a system of keeping track of events that happened or will happen.
We use tools such as clocks and calendars for timekeeping. The past is our history, the future is unknown, and we live in the present motion of the Earth.
Does Time Control You
I’m trying to show you that time is our way of describing the motion we see and feel.
Time is a measurement and a description of an event.
Reality is the motion that we see and feel. We see the sunlight in the morning, and we feel the warmth from the kitchen stove.
You can look at a clock and say it’s time for breakfast, but time is only a label for the event.
The motion of Earth brought the morning sunlight, and the heat from your stove gave you warmth.
The time on a clock tells you your position on Earth relative to the Sun.
But time didn’t make your breakfast. It was your system of timekeeping to keep track of your daily events. You made up your mind earlier to wake up and have breakfast before work.
You think that time tells you what to do and when to do it. It seems like a simple idea, but we have become slaves to the clock’s time.
Our system of timekeeping keeps us on time for our events. You should realize that time doesn’t make you do anything.
You are the one who decides to do things at certain times of the day.
I can tell you that you do some things systematically based on the time on a clock.
For instance, you eat and sleep at regular times per day. But if you think about your schedule, it’s not based on time.
You do things according to the motion of our planet.
The Earth's natural rhythm gives us the rhythm of sleep and activity.
We internalize this rhythm to the ticking of a clock that moves at the same speed as the Earth.
We think that time tells us what to do, but the power is in the motion of the Earth.
Time didn’t start at the beginning of the universe. Time started on Earth with our invention of timekeeping.
The motion of the universe moves forward without time, but on Earth, we move forward with the motion of our planet.
Your Internal Clock System
The daily rotation of our planet has a rhythm of sunlight, temperature, and ocean tides that affects our personal activities.
Circadian rhythms are 24-hour cycles of the body’s internal clock, running in your mind to carry out essential functions and processes.
One of the most necessary and well-known circadian rhythms is the sleep-wake cycle.
Your body's circadian rhythm is connected to your internal clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a part of the brain called the hypothalamus.
At different times of the day, the SCN sends signals to regulate activity throughout the body.
The SCN is highly sensitive to light, which serves as a critical external cue that influences the signals sent by the SCN to coordinate the internal clocks in the body.
While other cues, like exercise, social activity, and temperature, can affect your clock, light is the most powerful influence on circadian rhythms.
For this reason, your circadian rhythms are closely connected to the daylight hours.
Biological clocks help regulate the timing of bodily processes, including circadian rhythms.
A circadian rhythm comes from your biological clock, but not all biological clocks are circadian.
For instance, women have a biological clock timed with their period, and an instinct to procreate.
It’s common to feel energy dips throughout the day, and it seems many adults feel most fatigued in the afternoons.
These dips can vary based on each person’s habits and age.
Staying active throughout the day can help balance your circadian rhythm by using your energy levels before your main sleeping hours.
If you have trouble sleeping, taking a nap can decrease your ability to fall asleep at night.
The longer you are awake, the more your body will want to sleep toward the end of the day.
Get up and move around whenever you start feeling a dip in your energy. I have a habit of taking a coffee break at 3 pm.
Many Americans live sedentary lifestyles due to working behind a desk.
Some of the new smartwatches prompt you to move if you have been inactive for a while.
Give your body some movement to support your circadian rhythm by moving every 30 minutes.
The Key Takeaway
Time tells us when we have events, and we decide what to do based on the time.
Time is a necessary part of modern society. We base our events on the motion of the Earth, using the time on a clock.
The lesson here is that we use time as a tool to keep track of our lives, but time doesn't cause events to happen.
Time didn't cause the Big Bang event or your New Year's Eve event.
We keep track of our lives with clocks but remember, the motion of Earth controls the time that we use.
