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 thoughts. As an illustration I’ll pick on a few examples using Einstein such as, his greatest blunder, “god does not play dice with the universe”, and in 1939 he published “On a Stationary System with Spherical Symmetry Consisting of Many Gravitating Masses"; where he argued that in spite of being predicted by his theory, blackholes could not exists in reality. This doesn’t dilute the great contribution Einstein made to our scientific knowledge, I only wish to reinforce human nature has an influence on our science that even our greatest scientists are not immune to.

 As for me, I don’t claim to possess the intelligence, physics knowledge, or mathematical prowess of people like Einstein, or our current generation physicists. However, please remember per the description of the blog I am not proposing a theory or hypothesis. Those are for trained physicists. I am pointing out indisputable empirical observations of space and time that are observable as a physical phenomenon by anyone. For this, I have the ability to often recognize my own intuitions and biases,  seeing how they influence my own thoughts. It's an ability to more aptly account for and discard the natural influences we all have. I’m certain if you make the effort to consider what could be observed by yourself, or anyone directly, at that level the observations are axioms being completely empirical. Those reasons are the justifications for this blog.

 To head off a possible misconception, I know space-time to be malleable and relative, it has been proven many times over in experiments and it is undisputed herein.

 I will discuss my observations for the empirical nature of space and time in the next post. I’d like to note for me it was easier seeing a physical nature of time, space/distance was more difficult. I attribute that to my own preconceptions and intuitions. Regarding time, it was easier to connect the common physical functions in all clocks. As for distance, it's nature other than knowing it to be malleable, I always thought of as being a separate physical existence from motion. Please, note that herein space is interchangeable with the word distance.

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...
