TIME can move a mass in the direction from present-to-future but TIME can not move a mass in the direction east-west, north-south or up-down. So in terms of entity time, mass, energy, space are all different entities. In this context the interplay of time and space is quite puzzling.
What is time??

At the moment in physics, time has two different 'flavors'. One looks like a smooth, linear function of spacetime, the other looks clumpy. It's a bit like the difference between special and general relativity.
How quantum mechanics is related to special, but not general relativity, isn't that hard to follow, and you get to see this time/distance relation is just "something" between events. If there's "nothing" between, we use imaginary units.

Time is a potential. The proof has been around for over a century. One experiment anyone can do is connected to photography and motion blur. The way we do motion blur is the shutter speed of the camera is slower than the action. There is a time potential difference in the photo between shutter time and the motion time, that shows up as uncertainty in distance (motion blur). Time is the dymamic variable which animates the passive variable which is distance; time to distance conversion. This conversion is needed in the photo because time has stopped in the photo, but time potential remains; converts to distance uncertainty.
Even with time stopped, in the below photo, the uncertainty within distance will still create the impression of motion withun the fountain. This sort of looks like the uncertainty in distance is generating time for motion. I can see how a theory of time from distance could be inferred this way, but that assuption only appears after a conversion of time to distance uncertainty. It leaves out the front end and can be misleading and illusionary. The effect only appears when time potential has previously converted to distance potential.

I think concept of TIME came from the concept of inertia. There are two types of inertia. Inertia of rest and inertia of uniform motion. It requires force or energy to change this inertia but the basic concept of 'inertia of rest' and the basic concept of 'inertia of uniform motion' still remains. SPACE represents the inertia of rest and TIME represents inertia of uniform motion.
From the effect of relativity, this can be concluded that , there must be some link/connection or relationship among space, light and time. This relationship among space , light and time can be expressed mathematically by the equation : c = dx/dt or dt = dx/c ; where dx is the minimum distance of space , c is the velocity of light which is constant and accordingly dt is the minimum interval of time between two events.
There are many definitions of time, all of which lend some nuance to the concept. Depending on the definition you use, application analysis can be easy or complicated. All the time roads lead to Rome (can give the correct answer), with some roads shorter and other more windy. If you assume time is a potential, this is the shortest road allowinh you can do things that no other time assumptions can.
In my last post, I showed how motion blur within photography can record excess time potential. This appears as uncertainty in distance, since time has stopped within a photo. Time potential provides a way to explain the uncertainty principle. Currently, all other definitions of time treat uncertainty like a mystery; religion. They can't explain why, but have to just accept with faith. I respect all religions, but science should be about why and not it is.
In the case of the uncertainty principle and electrons, this is not an artifact of measurement (motion blur), but is due to the electron, itself, defining excess time potential. This excess time potential within electrons is why electrons can last billions of years and not age. The excess time potential within the electron, exists within universal space, that is changing, with time, due to expansion. This universal time potential difference shows up as uncertainty in distance.
Time potential can also be used to explain why we have quantum effects. Again, other definitions of time leave this a mystery rite. Religion is fine, but science can't have dogma based on faith that it exists because we can see it. The time potential in electrons is an example of 0-D time potential; point of time potential. There is also 1-D time potential connected to velocity; dd/dt. An excess of 1-D time potential is expressed as uncertainty in distance in our motion blur experiment. There is also 2-D time potential; dd/dt/dt which links time potential to acceleration, force and other effects such as why we have quanta. No ritual or mystery rite is needed.
The easiest way to explain that time mystery, of why quanta, using time potential, is by using the analogy of a movie. With motion picture film, there are two time sequences; 2-D time potential. We have the shutter speed for each frame ,which can create motion blur effects and uncertainty in distance. Being a movie, we will also have a frame rate, which captures chunks of time, at the same time motion blur effects are occurring.
Let us look at each frame in a piece of motion film. To get clean quantum looking effects between frames, we need to minimize distance uncertainty in each frame. To much time potential within each frame will create a distance uncertainty that can cause quantum steps, between frames, to appear to overlap because of the fuzzy. But if there is no motion blur, each object has minimum size in space allowing better quantum separation.
We also need to keep the frame rate slow. If the frame rate is too fast, even with no motion blur, the frame increment is so tiny, that it can appear more continuous than quantum. If we use 5 frames per second, with no distance uncertainty, the movie looks jumpy; nice clean quanta. We can get quanta looking effects over a range by tweaking the two time variables. We can use sme motion blur as long as we have a slow enough frame rate. Depending on how we add time potential we can make any type we need. The motion of a planet is somewhere between continuous and quantum.
Again the proof of time potential can be demonstrated with photos and movies to create repeatable and predictable results. There is no need for sacred mystery rituals, for uncertainty (boo) and quanta (wow) unless you like that type of thing.

OH boy, what an hornet nest, this tread is!
Seems to be an intriguing subject, dear to hearts of all! A million people, a million opinions. Heated discussions about time. But just for the fun of it, why don't we go where few fools dare to thread, to see if we can learn from each other? To make it even more juicy of a topic, and to stretch your imaginations, why don't we dare to take a bite out the dream apple?
Do dreams conform to our rules or perceptions of time? Dreams appear as some of us might have witnessed, if we recall, a dream sequence can start anywhere, as if it is devoid of the time intervals structures, or the time measuring qualifiers of time. One moment its night, the next scene its day time.
Can the time sequences of a dream really flow backwards and forewords? A section of a dream can deposit you as the dream participant at the end, or in the middle, or the beginning of a dream sequence, as if the present, the past and future time had happened already, but you were unaware of that as a possibility, and does that mean or signify that every thing has happened at once already out side of the dream in real life as we know it?
The past the present and the future aspects of time is constantly changing usually in a linear fashion, but in dreams are the units of time intervals, juxtaposing in a dream due to external forces?
The three common dimensions of time (x,y,z ) apply, but why is the coordinate of (t )( time ) appearing to be the most powerful of forces, dictating the course of events in your dream, the when, and who you meet up with in the dream, and dream times ability to enable you be taken back to a time when you were a kid, why do you think this time elasticity is doable in a dream ?
Curious to hear your opinions on the role of time, or lack of times existence, in the dreams experiences that you can remember?

Dream is a mental image which happens due to activities of brain. Brain is a physical structure within our head . Brain consists of neurons which carry signals as electrical pulses . These electrical pulses travel like current at the velocity of light or c . So the time-equation c = dx/dt or dt = dx/c , is also valid for dreams or any other mental activities. This time-equation can explain any behaviour of time.
Sorry, but ALL of that is pure nonsense. Neurological signals most certainly do NOT travel at the speed of light (even the best electrical conductor only carries it at 2/3 c ) and the brain is MUCH slower than that.
And dreams have NO connection with nor limitation with time. That's just stupid also. For example, you can dream that you are in New York and the very next instant dream you're in a spaceship circling Pluto. Math is totally worthless where dreams are concerned. Only a VERY poorly undereducated person could have such garbage thought as stated above. Sheesh!
BIG things are made of small things. The smallest is considered as constituent unit. Little drops of water make a mighty ocean ; smallest intervals of time make the infinite time .
Here 'dt' as defined earlier is the smallest interval of time. There is no interval of time smaller than 'dt' , because there is no speed higher than 'c'( speed of light ) . So 'dt' can be considered as constituent unit of time .
Thus in terms of 'dt' , time can be expressed as :
TIME 't' = dt + dt + dt + dt + ........ upto infinity .

Still nonsense. If you have not yet completed your education I strongly suggest that you don't drop out. You've still got a LOT more of the very basics to learn!!

Time is more likely motion, which is a notion even more fundamental than the concept of entropy

Alongwith TIME , let us also try to know more about SPACE . Einstein saw a very close relationship between space & time . Thats why he called it space-time continuum rather than only space . So our discussion on time will be incomplete , if alongwith we dont discuss about space. At this juncture , we can very well ask the question : " what is space ? ". Space is not just an empty space which is holding all the mass and energy of our universe ; there is something more to it . Space has a property of elasticity which is evident from relativity and expanding universe . Space is static below the speed of light and above it becomes elastic . So , let us try to give it some thoughts to the question : " WHAT IS SPACE ? " .
