The only evidence for time moving, is alas only a psychological function. Recently, i've read quite a few postulations, from physicists such as Dr. Kaku, Dr. Wolf, and among others that time does not flow at all.
It turns out from the perspective of any flux in time is not bound by the present... But this is kind of strange, because the present time, according to our frame of references is certainly the only real time ever present; and the present time is what we experience flickering from second to second.
But does time move into the future and leave the past?
If time moves, what is it moving relative to? What is it moving in reference to...? The answer would have to be itself, but that is illogical.
Dr. Wolf explains that relativity states that our histories are layed out before us, frozen in time. This grim picture would mean that every timeframe would all be sitting side by side, existing in an all-time state. This means that when big bang occurred, a big crunch quickly followed, and anything happening in-between is merely a product of our derranged minds.
In a more geometrical sense according to relativity, time is much like how we envision space, like an expanding balloon, except time has a wobbly surface which is distorted by the presence of matter in space. But since matter and space are the same thing (because the vacuum is physical as well), and since space is already one continuum with time, then time can't really move relative to space, nor can it move relative to matter. It simply doesn't make sense.
So Time cannot have a flow. Nor does it really move. It actually encompasses both the past and the future (1), and our minds seem to drag in-between them. If there is any time dimension that moves, it is purely a psychological one. That's why i have postulated that we can use mathematics to describe an extra time dimension for the mind (2).
The psychological interpretation of time, allows a series of starts and stops in time, which we always percieve in present time. Time does expand however, and we can percieve this as a simple imaginary expansion, or the passing of time relative to the expansion. But we should no longer look at our clocks on the wall and imagine each second pass us by, but imagine the second that just passed us, is in fact the same time as the second you move into, as counterintuitive as it might sound.
(1) - Though Dr. Wolf might not agree with that, since he summarizes the mind creates what it observes... so he might also consider the same rule for the present time. Speaking to Dr Wolf, he said,
''We really do not experience a time flow
at all. Time does not flow for if it did it would need to flow with respect
time which makes no sense. We experience motion as a flow or a series of
stops and starts.''
Frank J. Tipler has made some use of the idea of time starting and stopping in such a sense. He has set a theory stating that things flash in and out of existence in (quite possibly) the Planck Time.
(2) - Actually, the math i did was very basic. I would need to sit a while and work out some other variables. There has also been a professor recently at the USC proclaiming the laws of relativity incomplete, proposing a second time dimension.
