The Contradiction of Moving In Time

2010-03-13

We often treat time like space, saying that we move through it. But we forget that movement is itself something that happens in time. Moving in time is therefore a change in time in time (∆t/∆t), which has no unit and is equal to 1 and therefor has no physical meaning. Time cannot be both a spatial dimension and process. It is either one or the other. If time is a kind of space, then all aspects of experience, including the perception of time and process, is at once. Nothing happens, everything just is. For now, I'd rather stick with the theory that time is time, and space is space.
