TIME."

[R Vimal
and C Davia]
Thanks for introducing our research work (TA102-104 for proto-experiences (PEs)
and subjective experiences (SEs), and TA105 for phenomenal time located at www.kjf-ca <http://www.kjf-ca/>)
to 'Time in Physics and Philosophy' yahoo-group. Comments are most welcome. I read your interesting article TA 92. I have
the following comments/queries.
1. Are you attributing
'Conventional time (future ----> present ----> past)' that is related to
phenomenal time (SE of time) to the 'relative time that is related to the
Special Relativity Theory ? This is an interesting hypothesis. But please elaborate it with respect to TA105
-.

It is indeed a pleasure to communicate with you about temporal concepts,
following my 61 years of experience, & now as Director of CETA-Research.
Yes, "Conventional time,
Ct" or t and "Rhythm Based (cyclical) Time, RT" are
"related" to your "phenomenal (1st person experience) time"
or (SE). We define "TIME" as
"Ct + RT within a mind ('Essos')," and
"TIME = Now." Thus "All
Real TIME is Now TIME" ("TIME" beyond "conventional
time" p22, with
a complimentary copy of this book soon mailed to you and "Vision").
Therefore, science desperately
needs a new concept for "future time," as such is a "scalar
label" (ONLY), rather like a "pricetag,"
a "colourtag" or a "shapetag." We
suggest a "timetag" of "Ct," OR, a "Timetag"
of RT." Similarly "past
times" are NOT "TIME" but real "timetags"
OR "Timetags." For example your birthdate
is a past "timetag" but your next birthday
is a "Timetag" (& it will not be real
"TIME," until it becomes "Now TIME"). For "TIME'S
DUALITIES" see: <http://www.egroups.com/message/time/13984>.
Yes, "Conventional time
Ct" is related to Special Relativity (SR) as per <http://www.egroups.com/message/time/14146>,
and it is indeed "relative" but unfortunately it uses the units of:
sec, min, hrs, years, msec, etc. which are absolute, &
have been approximately so for the billions of yrs of our recorded history,
& which are real "DURATIONS" & not "Real TIME." For "Duration Concepts" see <http://www.egroups.com/message/time/14051>.

"In your example, traveling at speed of 0.8c for clock time of 10 years,
the 'relative time' is 6 years. Do you
mean my SE of time will be 6 years, rather than 10 years, i.e., phenomenal time
is slowed by 4 years with respect to clock time?"
[PB]
No ! If the
space ship is travelling away from the Earth observer, for 10 yrs one's
Subjective Experience (SE) ON EARTH will be a "duraTion" of 10 yrs, as measured in a "RhythmicTime, RT/T" of the Earth's 10 Sun Cycles. By Special Relativity, and only because it
takes longer & longer for the space ship, temporal "MVPs" to
travel back to the Earth, it appears that observed ON EARTH the space ship
"SE" is a "time t duration" of 6 years. Recall that durations & "duraTions" are "timetag
& Timetag" differences.

"2. You have
introduced 'Rhythm Based Time' (RBT) and related it to Earth-Sun Absolute based
on Earth's rotations. Our circadian
system is also rhythmic and is related to Earth's rotation via day-night cycle;
our biological master clock is suprachiasmatic
nucleus (SCN) that synchronizes our sleep-wake cycle to day-night cycle and is
important in jet-lag. The linear time (future ----> present ----> past) is presumably
processed in frontal cortex. Details are
given in our fMRI SCN article located at: <
http://www.geocities.com/rlpvimal/SCN-Vimal-et-al.pdf >."
[PB]
The first 2 sentences are correct, understood & in fact I have published
such concepts at numerous earlier times (references on request). In your 3rd sentence: a) we recommend "(curva)linear" time t, as
flying India to Boston is in "Conventional time t," & is a
"curved path AND linear path" and b) a "cyclical" path in
"RhythmicTime T" is also a line (and curve)
! Substantive differences are "t is
unidirectional," "T is bidirectional," &, there needs to be
a mathematical sign change for "T" at "pi" radians! These
last 2 lines are now well beyond Einstein's 20th century physics!! We'll also send you the "RBC-2000" scientific
paper on "T-descriptions."
[RV]
1) & 2) How is your RBT related to circadian system? Do you mean, our frontal cortex will record 6 years, whereas SCN will
record 10 yrs, assuming Earth's rotation is still within the scope of our
journey and effective for our SCN-activity in your example? 3) Will it not be a
contradiction in our brain? 4) Do you like to reconsider your definitions,
especially inferring the 'relative time' to 'phenomenal time'?
[PB]
Answers:
1) The "circadian system" is IN "Rhythm Based Time T" NOT
in t.
2) Pre-frontal cortex records "future timetags
& Timetags" which "scalar labels"
will not become "real TIME" until they become "Now TIME"
"MTPs." Any mind (left) on
Earth records "MVPs" of "RhythmicTime
RT/T" from both "astronomical observations" (e.g. sunrise), and
biorhythms (e.g. "SCN"), which will arrive in absolute "duraTions" of "1 day/year in 1 day/year." Such mind will also record "MVPs"
from the space ship in relativistic t.
3) There need be no contradiction as one's "CNS" can handle MANY
"MVPs."
4) Let us define 'phenomenal time' as "TIME" = "Ct + RT"
within "Essos."
[RV]
"3. You
wrote, "Moving clocks do NOT "run slowly," BUT, moving clocks
can "read slowly," as long as this "reading" is performed
from a differing inertial system." This
is correct. Our SCN and frontal cortex are intact in brain, which is traveling
in the same frame of reference. Therefore,
both should record same duration, either 10 years or 6 years; is that right,
and which one? More later….
[PB]
Answers: As above. 10 years for "RhythmicTime
T," 6 years for "AE time," for the Twins Paradox (which is no
longer a paradox!), but if travelling in the same frame of reference (as you
say) then: Postulate 1 in Annalen der
Physik 18: 639-643 by Einstein, A. (1905), as
paraphrased by Dr. Leo Sartori (Understanding
Relativity): "<THE LAWS OF NATURE ARE THE SAME IN ALL INERTIAL
FRAMES>".
