Addendum

 Because I've had discussions where some people have misunderstood what I said was indisputable in a direct observation, I've added this addendum. I’m not talking about one questioning an interpretation, or if there is more to it than can be directly observed. I hope the addendum adds some clarity and insight to the observable physical functions I discussed.   For the Earths rotation, the pendulum swing of a grandfather clock, the oscillation of a quartz crystal, etc., they are all observable physical processes that happen in time used to define a unit of time. That observable process is not disputable, that they change position at a relatively consistent speed per distance. We equate that physical process to a unit of time.   What is absolute for distance to have any physical relevance is also indisputable however, I’ve known this aspect to be more difficult to recognize. While I stated it requires in some form a change of position of energy, perhaps that might be cl...

Space Physically being the same Phenomenon as Time

  For an accurate context and explanation please read the posts in order starting with the first 1st:    https://acopais.blogspot.com/2025/08/before-i-start-with-main-topic-i-should.html 2nd:   https://acopais.blogspot.com/2025/08/i-want-to-demonstrate-that-both-time.html For this third post I want to demonstrate how space/distance [1] is the same physical phenomenon as time, why they are inseparable and a single phenomenon. Due to how I perceived the world, and what I was taught, the singular physical aspect of distance that is also time was much more difficult to recognize.   As explained in the second post, if time is the change of position of energy [2] then distance must be the same phenomenon if that phenomenon is to be singular and they are inseparable. That might be, if most of you are like me, at first perplexing to see how it is possible. At first glance space or separation other than being malleable due to relative motion and gravity, is not a phy...

Time as an Observable Empirical Function

For a accurate context and explanation please read the posts in order starting with the first 1st:    https://acopais.blogspot.com/2025/08/before-i-start-with-main-topic-i-should.html I want to demonstrate that both time and space individually in any physical sense exists only as  a single phenomenon. Our imaginations and mathematics separate them however; as a physical phenomenon while they are aspects we attribute separately, factually they are observable as only one physical function, and physically they can only exists as one function.   For me it was easiest to recognize the function of the phenomenon for time; in order to understand time better I started by looking at various types of clocks. The rotation of the Earth we define as a day, our orbit around the sun we call a year, mechanical clocks, quartz oscillators (the most common time device used today), and atomic clocks, our most precise measurements of time [1] .   The common physical function for...

Context and Basis

  Before I discuss how space, and time are empirically inclusive as only a single physical function, I want to give some context and make some disclosures regarding this blog. One reason I wrote it is human nature; It's our nature to stick with what we know, and continue believing what we thought we already knew. We tend to build on that and if there were existing errors it will compound them. Scientist too are not immune. I think it’s a reason why Newtons laws of motion stood strong for over 200 years in spite of being troublesome for electromagnetism , and other physical observations it couldn’t exactly explain before Einstein. While there are a few things I brought up that are outside this next context. Consider what I refer to as "physical", being that which can be seen and verified in a direct observation.   While we tend to  believe contrary, in reality most of us have a hard time completely removing pre-existing bias and intuition from our observations and ...
