Our human IDEA OF TIME is derived from the REALITY OF MOTION

    As soon as we open our eyes a few weeks after birth we see days and nights. Our brain while a child is thus impressed by a succession of days and nights that are later interpreted as time when we become teens and then adults. Yet that impression literally carved in our minds is an abstraction of the real phenomenon of the spinning motion of earth, a motion we cannot imagine while being a child.

    To get at the heart of the subject continue on to the next paragraph; but click here if you wish instead to get similar examples about the impression of time on our minds.

Our minds procedure

    Because to start with, when child, we do not know about the reality of earth's spinning motion on itself, our IMAGINATION impressed by that (yet unknown) motion, imagines time!
    Because to start with we cannot IMAGINE reality, our IMAGINATION builds up its own interpretation of reality!

The myth of inert mass and the intricacies of our human mind

  1.     Whether motion is relative or absolute, motion and matter may make one, simply because our eyes cannot distinguish one (motion) from the other (matter in motion)!
        Is it then proper to decide, before hand, that motion is distinct from matter?
        And once we arbitrarily extracted motion out of matter, what allows us to furthermore claim that matter is inert?
        In short why does our mind imagine that matter when moving is inert? 1

  2.     Worse yet, while focusing on matter in space, and in time, are we not ignoring the phenomenon of motion?
        Did we not decided to start with that motion does not exist in terms of physical entity, having no material characteristics?
        With no experimental proof whatsoever, our minds decided that matter, space, and time make the Universe and that the happening is non physical!
        All in all did we not invented a non-physical concept that of time while observing the reality of motion?
        In short why does our minds ousted the reality of motion in favor of the controversial concept of time?2

  3.     For some reason, or simply by tradition, the happening (reduced to time in physics) is systematically downgraded by our human minds (and in physics) to non material or non physical status.
        Conversely our minds lessens the physical to the inert and independent of time. Mass in physics and in our minds exists in space only and is an entity designed independently of time.
        The point of this page is that these two processes, namely the invention of inertia along with that of time prevent us to get a real picture of reality; we simply ignore the reality of motion!

The Gravimotion theory turns down-upside our conventional way of thinking!

    Next is a link to a book introducing the Gravimotion theory.
    In that theory the happening departs from the concept of time in that the happening is physical while our concept of time is not.
    In the Gravimotion theory, the happening is physical under the format (and reality) of motion!



Note 1:There might be a simple answer to that question! Our belief in the inertia of matter maybe traced back to the fact that the earth under our feet seems (to us) not to be moving! Yet the earth is moving (very fast) around the sun.
            Residents of California know how psychologically devastating earthquakes can be though! Earthquakes literally "shake our belief" in solid, inert matter!


Note 2: An answer to that question is simply stated in the first paragraph: Our human IDEA OF TIME is derived from the REALITY OF MOTION!
