Time - An Odyssey
What time is it?
0900 hours in East Africa. 2300 hours in Seattle. 1000 hours in Abu Dhabi.
That tells us what time it is(when I wrote this), but it doesn’t tell us what time is.
Time is not what a clock reads.
The same way we can’t say weight is what the weighing scale reads.
A measure of the thing is not the thing itself.
Electricity is not how many watts go through a bulb.
So what is it? What is time?
According to Einstein, it’s the fourth dimension. The same way depth is the 3rd dimension. But many have argued that this is not the whole story, regarding the 4th dimension.
You can check out Carl Sagan’s video below. How he simply, and accurately... describes the 4th dimension, using the difference between the 3rd and 2nd, in just 7 minutes
Time is a slice of eternity.
A quantification of moments.
The introduction to time inadvertently introduces us to the concept of eternity.
The existence of time reveals the opposite, a place where time is no longer finite. Infinity. But let me not go down that rabbit hole.
Why are people so detached from the real ways of telling time though?
People have lost the original reference to time. The sun, the moon. These are nature's clocks. Now they're referencing a Cesium atom in the NIST.
Digital and analog clocks tell the time in 2D.
This is how we’ve been telling time in the modern age... But there’s a better way. What if I told you, that we can also tell time in 3D.
And with the help of technology, we can be more accurate than the Egyptians with their sundials.
Unlike how Einstein claimed that time is relative to speed. The sun is always where the sun is, and so is the moon.
And it’s at that spot for everyone no matter where they are, or what velocity they’re travelling at.
Behold, say hallo to Infinity Calendar. Your one stop shop for all your time needs. Date, time, month, year... From a universal perspective, and in 3D.
