The definition of time

Abstract:Define time as a mapping of the whole universe transformations. In this definition about the whole transformations,the concepts of relative time and local time don’t exist. And this definition is consistent with the most physical phenomena. The physicists of last century excluded the possibility of the existence of Electromagnetic wave conducting medium according to a series of experiments’ result, in which, speed repeating effect relative to the light speed was not observed. But this deduction overlooked the other possibility that the matters with masses and their movements are the wave on the Electromagnetic wave conducting medium as well. Nothing can really go through the space, light speed is the maximum conducting speed in the space,so it doesn’t exist speed repeating over the speed of light.I assume that the universe is composed of the space elementary quantum,which is the Electromagnetic wave conducting medium.

Introduction: Traditional physics theories haven’t defined ‘time’ clearly, but ‘time’ is the important physical quantity used in various physics equations. So whatever it is Academic authoritative or informal, a clear definition of time could be needed at first. Starting from discussing the universe’s fundamental composition, using basic algebra thinking , understanding time as a transformation system and deducing some interesting suppositions, such as the deduction like ‘time’s evolution is limited but not eternal’, this article is based on the Law of conservation of energy and Law of entropy increase,and other Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck’ achievements(April 23, 1858 - October 4, 1947), and is illuminated by Theory of relativity’s concept of warping of space-time and The Quantum Theory’s concept of field quantum.

Some preparatory assumptions or basic sets:

1 the universe is in expansion.

2 the universe runs with the Law of conservation of energy and Law of entropy increase

3 the universe is composed of Space elementary quantum(SEQ)

4 various field quantum and all various micro particle are just different Energy excited states of Space elementary quantum(SEQ)

5 Space elementary quantum(SEQ) has a ground state with ground energy( as ground state spin’s form ) this can be one possible explanation on the phenomenon of parity nonconservation.

The course of defining time:

A I assume that the universe is composed of Space elementary quantum(SEQ). various field quantum and all various micro particle are just different Energy excited states of Space elementary quantum(SEQ).

Space elementary quantum(SEQ) is the Electromagnetic wave conducting medium. The matters with masses and their movements are the wave on the Electromagnetic wave conducting medium as well, and in this assumption framework, Nothing can really go through the space, light speed is the maximum conducting speed in the space,so it doesn’t exist speed repeating over the speed of light. Everything is just some energy state of Space elementary quantum(SEQ).

B The composition’s features of the universe: according to the Law of conservation of energy and Planck’s finding about energy quantization, I assume that the number of Space elementary quantum(SEQ) is limited, further more, I assume the number of Space elementary quantum in the universe is N, every Space elementary quantum(SEQ) has M energy states, so the universe can generates to the Nth power of M’s transformation. And these M energy state could be understood as a algebra system with two effects like a ring including Gravitational and electromagnetic effects.

With the the Law of conservation of energy and Law of entropy increase Constraint, the possible transformations’ number is much less than the Nth power of M’s .

C The definition of time:

C1 Supposing the possible number of the universe transformations is J ,J is much less than the Nth power of M’s .

C2 The time interval between two adjacent transformations is Planck time, it’s easy to be understood to the minimum time interval.

C3 The direction of time’s evolution is entropy increase.

C4 The possible transformations can be mapped to possible entropy set, but not bijection, because multiple transformations could be mapped to the one entropy value.I suppose there are k entropy values in the entropy set, and the J transformations can be divided into K. The transformations with the same entropy value are called parallel transformations, but it can only occur one transformation in reality from the parallel transformations with the same entropy. These set including K entropy values can be mapped to the time as bijection.

C5 according to what mentioned above, we can deduce that the transformations are not unlimited so that the time is discrete and limited.

Another explanation on some Existing phenomena:

1 uncertainty relation. As long as it is considered that Electromagnetic wave is conducting wave on the Space elementary quantum(SEQ), it is easy to understand uncertainty relation. In this assumption, the speed is conducting speed, and the location is equivalent to conducting on certain Space elementary quantum(SEQ). When the location is determined, how could the conducting speed be determined, vice versa. And I think that it is impossible for now to get the accurate location, when the galaxies is moving and the universe is expanding constantly.

2 Double-slit experiment. Based on Space elementary quantum(SEQ) assumption, electron’s conducting in the space conforms some probability function, and really causes the space multi-path oscillating, and these oscillating can be accumulated. Electron excitation caused space oscillating both of the two slits at the sides of excitation source, it is easy to understand that interference Fringe could be observed. Even in case of one-slit experiment, when the accumulated Wavelets cross the slit, slit’s Unsmooth edges can make different reflections and generate interference that could be observed if the sensor is sensitive enough.

The definition mentioned above in this article is just a kind of understanding on time, I still hope more people can put forward their own definition of time. The defining time is an inescapable job if we want to get a step further in physics.

Pay my respects to Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck and the other physicists!
