I sent a few scientific questions to the School For Champions a few days ago and got one reply today.

Love your site, Thank You!

Subject: Relativity/Time
Question:
We humans understand time as past, present and future.
The Past is our Memory
The Present is our Current Condition
The Future is our Expectation

Is it possible that Time is static?

We exist in a series of static universes that we register as the duration or "flow" of time.
Even at Planck time there is duration.
Duration is change in the Universe.
By splitting any change into time segments, every change has a beginning, a duration and an ending.
Even the emission of a photon.
It is a static photon, it starts to move, continues to move and stops moving when acted upon or reaching the desired destination (Planck Length).
During the moment when it starts to move there is duration between its static point and its next static point.
There is even duration between the change of static points. Like a buildup to change similar to a potential charge of time. I'll call it a Duriton.
Duritons occur faster than can be measured by our technology. Just because something can't be measured doesn't mean it can't exist.
Our lives are a series of duritons that we register on a massive scale to simulate continuity.
Is it safe to say that we exist in a constant flow of individual duritons, remembering the past as the present?

Thank you.

The whole concept of time is difficult and complex.

As far as humans go, the sensing of time seems to vary with age.

See "Sensing Time" in our senses section.

Thus, is time different for different people?

At the quantum level of matter, movement is in "quantum jumps" instead of being continuous. Likewise, since time is related to motion, it too could be in quantum increments. Thus, you could think of time being static in between those jumps. Your idea of a "Duriton" might fit within that area.

In some theories, time is considered a fourth dimension. It can curve just as space can curve.

Keep up the good work in pondering these issues.
