On the Geometry of Time
August 3, 2014 Key Concepts : Dimensions, Geometry, Living Water, Time ∞
Geometry is an ancient discipline. The ancient Egyptians, Sumerians, and the Greeks all were keenly interested in Geometry. In many cases, Geometry predates all other mathematics. The father of numbers, Pythagoras himself inspired his numbers from their relationships within Geometry and its effect on his music theory. Geometry is all about measurement and measurement takes time. Every changes imaginable including those of points which are moving and forming lines, planes and dimensions, need time. This is how time and geometry are intimately connected. Geometry becomes a possibility under the domain of Time.
It will be clear after this short essay that time is the root dimension to the all other dimensions. Even when we take 3 dimensions out of time dimension, time still remains. The point, which is the origin of time and the point is time itself as long as it represents a point only without any spatial dimensions. When you talk about a line that already has some parts of time embedded in it, but additionally, independent of that line-locked time, there is plenty of additional time available to us to observe and measure the length of the lines. Now take the second line and a third line similarly at right angle to each other and create a 3 dimensional space. Even after consumption of time embedded to those two new dimension-embedded time, there is still plenty of extra time to measure and observe the 3 dimensional space just created out of the time dimension.
It is now a consensus opinion among the physicist that the time is a separate 4th dimension, yet interconnected with 3 spatial dimensions. They forgot that the 3 special dimensions are themselves a product of time. Their suggestion sounds as if the time has merged with those preexisting 3 spatial dimensions to form space-time continuum. On the contrary, the time does not come into the game later, after those 3 dimensions already been created. The truth is, there cannot exist any spatial dimension without the time. Although the ancients had been suggesting a "fifth element" which is roughly analogous to modern scientists "quintessence", none of those extra dimensions proven to exist experimentally, as of today. String theorists went even one step ahead and proposed at least 10 spatial dimensions, none of which ever measured and observed. And finally, the kings of abstract speculation, the mathematician, have suggested a 64 dimensional geometry, in special context, as an upper bounds for certain geometric problems. I can foresee in near future, scientist will propose an infinity numbers of dimensions, that has not and will not take us anywhere in our attempt to understand the reality.
Even if scientist ever discover any additional dimension in the near future, time will still remain, as long as this universe remains. This will prove again that time is indeed a composite dimension, rather than something in isolation and indivisible. No matter how many dimensions you dissect and cut out from the thing that we currently call time i.e., the reality, time will still remain, although a limited, less discernible, rudimentary and even in a primordial form, but it is still time, nonetheless. Time is always one step ahead in the game even at infinite regress. Time is the fuel, consumption of which gives rise of the reality but the fuel of time still remains along with the combustion product, i.e., the reality. Hence, the time is analogous to a field (the ancient Thales called it Water), that crystallizes into dimensions but those crystals (i.e., space) are still well submerged into this “Living Water of Time”. Time is the common denominator responsible for maintaining the consistency of causality. And this consistency of causality with respect to what? It is the one single reality we have in this universe. Time is that Reality.
Note:
Time at rest [Zeroth Dimention, still have redumentary perceptive ability] = Being = Frozen Time, Eternity
Time is action [In 3 Dimentions] = Becoming = Moving Time, Chronos
