SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of time as a vector in our universe, proposing a mathematical representation where each position has its own velocity and time. The equations presented include x=vxtx, y=vyty, and z=vztz, suggesting a relationship between spatial coordinates and their respective velocities. However, significant skepticism is expressed regarding the validity of these claims, with assertions that the mathematics presented lacks proof and does not correlate with reality. The debate highlights the contentious nature of interpreting time within the framework of physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of vector mathematics
  • Familiarity with basic physics concepts, particularly motion
  • Knowledge of mathematical notation and operations
  • Awareness of the philosophical implications of time in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mathematical foundations of vectors in physics
  • Explore the concept of spacetime in Einstein's theory of relativity
  • Study the implications of time as a dimension in theoretical physics
  • Investigate critiques of non-standard interpretations of time in physics
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, mathematicians, philosophy students, and anyone interested in the theoretical implications of time and space in the universe.

time is actually a vector!

it is:
x=vxtx
y=vyty
z=vztz
this is in a sense that every position has it's own velocity and time.
if
vy=vz=0 and
x=y=0 and
tx=tz=0 then
x=vytz-vzty=0
y=vztx-vxtz=0
z=vxty-vytx=vxty
so it is:
(x,y,z)=(vx,vy,vz)x(tx,ty,tz)

on the x-axes there are x,vz,ty
on the y-axes there are y,tz,vx
on the z-axes there are z,vy,tx

In your universe perhaps, but not in this.
Oh let me see:

No proof.
No relation to reality.
Crummy maths: (x does not equal v*t, for the last time)
