We define:
- “timespan” as the gap between specific perceived identities, as experiences, events, or incidents
- “time” as the gap within perceptions in general
The Unity of Space and Time
Unlike the other layers, the spatial layer is about the gap between:
- the perceiver, as the subject
- the perceptions, as the object
In the Physical Domain, space is dominant because objects are dominant. For example, an object, as a static perception, exists in 3 dimensions of space as length, width, height, and 1 dimension of Time.
Notice how the “Riemann” object on the left makes obvious the space it occupies, as its length, width, and height. But it does not make the time aspect obvious.
Our sliced object on the right, on the contrary, exposes both the space and the time used by perception to have knowledge of the same object.
Therefore, our spacetime model makes the unity of space and time easier to understand.
- This unity is really the unity of subject and object, or of perceiver and perception.
Why Time Always Moves Forward
Both space and time are products of perception which always moved outward or forward from the self as the lower mind. This is why time always moves forward whether externally or internally.
The different properties of time aries from the different densities of the perceivers:
| Perceiver | Quality of Time |
|---|---|
| Lower Mind | Time Moves Forward Linearly |
| Higher Mind | Time Moves Forward Linearly Faster or Slower |
| Soul and Oversoul | Everything is Simultaneous (Aether dominates, Spacetime is negligible) |
- In Sanskrit, this oversoul is the Brahman
- In Parmenides by Plato, this oversoul is the One
Does the One as a Whole experience time? Does it become older and younger than Itself and Others?
- To exist is to be in the present time
- To have been is to be at a past time
- To be about to be is to be at a future time Then the One, since it has being also has time. Time is always moving forward.
Planck time is the smallest unit of time between spacetimes. This is represented by quantum of timespace or qots.
Static Space Versus Dynamic Time
The Physical Domain has less change and dynamism compared to the Metaphysical.
For example, when we look outside our window, we see trees, buildings, and objects. These do not change the space that they occupy so readily.
But when we have metaphysical dreams, the same trees, buildings, and objects might totally change from one scene to another very rapidly.
This is because the Metaphysical Domain is closer to the Aethereal layer which is purely kinetic and dynamic.
This is why we say time gets more malleable and simultaneous the higher the layer, while space becomes less important.
This leads to our concept of timespace.
Physical Time Versus Metaphysical Time
Physical Time occupies the lower layers of timespace while Metaphysical Time occupies the upper layers.
In Physics, this is roughly similar to the concept of Proper and Coordinate Time from Einstein’s Relativity.
- Physical Time is objective.
- Metaphysical Time is subjective.
Physical Time in Superphysics also includes Newtonian Time and the Radioactive Decay-time of certain elements.
| Domain | Spacetime Sublayer | Name | Measure | Physics Name |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metaphysical | Aethereal | Mental Time | Experience | Coordinate Time (Einstein) |
| Physical | Radiant | Electromagnetic Time | Atomic Clock | Proper Time (Einstein) |
| Physical | Convertible | Radioactive Time | Radioactive Decay Clock | |
| Physical | Material | Material Time | Sand Clock | Absolute Time (Newton) |
