And since you stated it, it must be so?I specifically told everyone in the thread, they are misapplying what we mean by ''measurement'' in physics.
Quite an ego you display.

You are Reiku then.Oh great, what trash is this that's fallen in here?
Oh, no, no more cut and paste. Just tell it.You do know what a Hermitian Matrix is right? No? Read about it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermitian_matrix
By all means, explain. I'm all ears.Believe it or not, only observables, the things we can measure are represented by Hermitian matrices. There are none for time.

You really haven't made any factual statements capable of being verified, just your own assertions.
So what do eigenstates have to do with time?
No, changes are what separates events.
I think that hits it on the nail right there.
I see nothing in the wiki observable physics page which supports what you assert.
Maybe we could label that as being true in the quantum domain.
"We know there is a particle regardless of measuring it", sounds like something that's "almost true".
Likewise, we know the pendulum has a continuous path "in the abstract", if say, we ignore time altogether so the positions are all equivalent suddenly and the pendulum is now "continuous" in three dimensions, or in a superposition of all possible states.
We just "proved" mathematically that time doesn't exist, in this abstract sense, but "in reality" the swinging weight and some kind of string are "in motion" and always discrete objects, their "stuff" isn't spread out in space.
Time is what separates events. If you think it smart to say changes are what separates events, then you are being pedantic in the extreme.

Entropy also naturally is associated with time and change.
But commonly we refer to it as time.
Also remembering that time also has an inexorable link with space.....
So more correctly, we refer to it as space/time.
Alex, so if you stop the clock, you stop 'time' because it is not being 'measured'? A bit 'crankland' of you, isn't it?
And if you stop the clock, it is the clock stopping which 'stops measuring time', not the other way round. That is, 'time' didn't 'stop' so the clock stopped because there was 'no time to measure'. See where all your 'arguments' lead, Alex?
Time passes, and has ever since the BB. We do not need clocks to make time happen, or to measure it passing. Even in a non expanding Universe, time still passes.
Again that all important link with space gives it more in depth reality.
A reality that is affected by the mass within by curving, warping and/or twisting...A reality that has been effectively measured.
Face it, the beliefs and hypotheses have been lately found to be flawed seriously from the get-go; even mainstreamers are catching on to that and looking ever more closely at the latest 'mainstream BS BB/Inflation etc papers' and finding the systemic, assumptive and procedural flaws I did.

That’s been YOUR MO since you lobbed. How thick and insensible of your own actions are you?No that's a false assumption on your part among all your other false assumptions.
A querie you can help me with though.
How do you manage to spend all day on a forum, when even I as a retired man, cannot do that.
What about your ToE?
Or do you now admit that was a lie?
Thank you linesmen, thank you ballboys.
cue: More personal insults, more silly claims, more ranting, more raving, more delusions of grandeur, more, more, more....
No, it's the hard and honest facts. You can't provide any evidence that time separates events, whilst there is an abundance of evidence that changes separate events.
Plenty of observational evidence everywhere at every instant of time and has been since the BB..
What assertions? Be specific. I am sure it is there.
If you are talking about time and it not being an observable, that's common knowledge. We know what constitutes observables in physics... I am sure you can find a list of them on the internet if you cared to bother.
