Spacetime is a substance and has a curvature around massive objects. Spacetime can affect the motion of any other objects so in this sense it exists a...

Any theory in which time is an emergent property within must be a dynamical theory. Time however is the main variable in any dynamical theory. This me...

Well, that, nothing to spacetime, cannot happen. I think we agree that spacetime is a substance. Therefore spacetime is something. Let's plug spacetim...

Speed is irrelevant. At the level of fundamental physics the temporal order of cause and effect is, arguably, contingent. If the temporal order is con...

Would grant me that spacetime is a substance, nothing to spacetime is a change, and spacetime is needed for a change? If yes, then it is obvious that ...
February 05, 2024 at 19:15
Yes. It means that we go from one point in time to another point. Yes, exactly right. Yes, we can say that. But we cannot get rid of time since it tak...

I cannot understand. Why the argument is an empirical observation? I already argue against that. OK. Yes, that is one explanation, something can simpl...

No, the observed motion was a change in the fabric of spacetime. No, there is no thing in nothing and there is at least one physical entity in somethi...

According to the general relativity, time is a component of spacetime in which it allows change to happen. Spacetime is shown by the theory of general...

No, time is a component of spacetime. Spacetime was first claimed to be a substance by the general theory of relativity. It is also confirmed by obser...

There are two changes when there is a motion: Change in attributes of an object, such as its position, and change in time. So time does not measure th...

Time changes but it is not the same thing as change in physical. No, spacetime is a substance on its own and can exist without physical.
February 05, 2024 at 14:44
Ok, I have an argument for that: Consider a change, A to B. A and B cannot lay at the same point otherwise A and B are simultaneous and there cannot b...

The laws of physics cannot apply to the singularity.
February 05, 2024 at 14:02
Time is a component of spacetime. Spacetime is shown to be a substance experimentally. Two phenomena confirm spacetime is a substance, namely gravitat...

I think P1 is valid no matter how fast is the process.
February 05, 2024 at 13:45
The argument follows from premises but it is not obvious because of the hidden premises (HPs). Please find the new version of the argument in pseudo-s...
February 05, 2024 at 13:36
Thanks for letting me know! I am happy to see a person who is open to a new idea. Well, space and time are interconnected and inseparable in the class...
February 04, 2024 at 13:36
Does time exist in this picture? What I am trying to say is that time does not exist in nothing and it is required for change, nothing to something, t...
February 04, 2024 at 13:11
Great to see that you agree. I cannot understand what you mean by "Change, measurable over time, is.". Do you mind to elaborate? Glad to see that you ...
February 04, 2024 at 12:58
According to the dictionary, nothing is a pronoun that means not anything; no single thing. Nothingness is a noun that means the absence of existence....
February 04, 2024 at 12:11
No, it is not proper to talk about the point before the beginning of time because time does not exist before its beginning and you need another time t...
February 04, 2024 at 11:20
Well, time cannot begin to exist since this is a change, and time is needed for it (this leads to infinite regress as well)! Time however has a beginn...
February 03, 2024 at 20:24
Time is a component of spacetime that allows change to happen. Spacetime is a substance, by substance I mean something that exists and has a set of pr...
February 03, 2024 at 20:17
Thank you very much for your positive contribution. Ok, let's see if I can resolve the weakness. Time is one component of spacetime that allows change...
February 03, 2024 at 19:47
To be more precise, space and time are part of a single manifold so-called spacetime. I dropped space to make things look simpler but one has to repla...
February 03, 2024 at 19:23
I don't understand what you are trying to say here. I also don't understand the implication of this to the first premise as well. Cool, so you agree w...
February 03, 2024 at 19:17
That is not possible as well since we are dealing with an infinite regress in time.
February 03, 2024 at 19:03
Cool. I have to add that time is a substance that allows change. By substance I mean it is something that exists and it has a set of properties. The p...

There is no need for consciousness when it comes to reasoning. We can simulate the brain if we know how it works when it comes to reasoning. There are...
