False Time Perception Hypothesis By Philosophical Gamer (Hypothesis name not final)

What I Mean What I mean is that the rate of time everywhere is the same rate It is the rate of time that may vary, which I’ll explain after the main argument The simplest way to explain this idea is that we are not measuring the passage of time correctly.

Example to Relate – Part 1 Imagine a fictional city where they based all of their time measurements by a large battery powered clock Eventually, the clock would slow down as the battery wore down, even if it was charged, it would slow down gradually Because the people base all of their time measurement on that clock, to them, time has slowed or they have sped up

Example to Relate – Part 2 They don’t use any other method, so to them, that’s the absolute truth If the clock stopped, then to them, they are travelling through time much faster than possible But really, others outside of the city not dependent on the clock would see that time is still passing by normally

Faster is Slower The main point comes down to this, it is not time that accelerates or slows down at all, it’s just showing a similar effect as if it did When things are going faster, their reactions are slower, creating the illusion of slowed or sped up time It doesn’t matter the force causing the speed change so much as that it does for the main message here This would explain why time seems to pass by at different rates with different speeds

The Math to It I don’t know any formula that explains it, that I have not looked into enough, but the answer probably lies in quantum physics. It does explain though how faster particles deteriorate slower, and combine slower

Time Travel By this logic, time travel as we understood it, is completely impossible There have been tests where particles appear just before others disappear, but that is no proof that it’s time travel – How do we know if it’s the same particle? – Even if the charasteics are the same?

The Fourth Dimension – Part 1 Now in recent years, the idea that time is the fourth dimension has come up. This is still completely possible. Why this works is a very common misconception about the word, “dimension” The fourth dimension in this case is not a place, but a measurement addition.

The Fourth Dimension – Part 2 The fourth coordinate would be used to represent time. For instance, 94 degrees west, 24 degrees south, 5000 feet in the air, 1968 A.D. That would be a place in four dimensions. It just happened in the past. The coordinates mentioned though don’t have any real significance other than an example.

Illusion with a Purpose Continuing this logic, it’s likely time is nothing but an illusion It’s possible there is some physical force creating it, but most likely there isn’t, and it’s just an emergence from the result of atomic reactions. Just because it’s an illusion however, doesn’t mean we can’t use it to measure things We just need to remember time is a simplifier, not an existing process

Different Rates of Time – Part 1 Earlier, I mentioned that time’s passage everywhere is the same, but that rate may vary What I mean by that is, if the rate of time everywhere changed, we wouldn’t know That would be in grander time A continued explanation follows…

Different Rates of Time – Part 2 If time stopped everywhere for a trillion years, then continued, how would we know? We would be stopped all that time, and then only when it continued would we continue perceiving, after time had stopped If time accelerated, we wouldn’t know either

Different Rates of Time – Part 3 It’s like a computer simulation for the simulated. To the things inside, the rate of processing things is the same, even though on the outside we see it changing

A Disclaimer Disclaimer time. I don’t know all of the details on how they research time. Perhaps this is already known, and disproved because of other things I had not heard of It’s possible this is ridiculous, and I know it. It’s possible that it does occur at different rates throughout the universe, but it’s also possible it’s the same It’s only a hypothesis at this time Any proof for this or against this I’m open to hearing

Summary Time seems slower because the reactions are slower, but that doesn’t make time slower – Just the reactions don’t occur at the same speed Faster objects have slower reactions Time travel, as we understood it, is impossible Time is an illusion with a purpose We can still use time in our lives, it’s just understanding the measurement of it needs work
