Do So

SummaryThe aim of this paper is to infer conclusions about the temporality of the physical world from central features of the measurement of time. In order to do so it makes a distinction between the passage of time and the measurement of the passage of time. Whilst the passage of time can be experienced on the basis of, say, chaotic processes, the measurement of the passage of time requires certain physical regularities. But regularity is not sufficient and it is important to highlight the connection between time, regularity and invariance in the measurement of time, especially with respect to classical physics, the Special theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. It is only after this connection has been clarified that the paper considers the dispute on whether the physical world is static or dynamic. As there are clearly both time-symmetric physical laws and time-asymmetric physical processes, the question is empirically underdetermined because the evidence is at present compatible with two incompatible views about the temporality of the physical world.

Clock Paradox

The clock paradox (Dingle 1956; McCrea 1956) which arises when the Special Theory of Relativity is applied to the problem of two identical clocks having different histories in the space time diagram is resolved by the General Theory of Relativity (G.T.R.) (Tolman 1934).

The Universe

Due to the limited velocity of light, there is a time duration to propagate a light ray between any two distinct spacetime points in the universe. Upon that argument, author‟s attempt is to obtain a very specific result that may useful for the Cosmology subject fields, string theory and the Astronomy subject fields. The final result implies that the time flowing depends on the space time location and time flowing is a relative fact in the universe. “Time flowing is a relative fact” does not mean the notion in the Special theory of Relativity regarding the relativity in the time.
