I once had the very simple idea, that one might arrive at a more true model of the world by cutting off the "worldlines" of the "spacetime continuum", just where the present of a certain observer is supposed to be. But the consequences of this idea are extremely far-reaching: You have to...

Violation of Guidelines? Being new to this forum, I wasn't aware of this passage in the Forum's Guidelines (https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=5374) when I started this thread. Even if I don't think that I have made any "unfounded challenges of mainstream science", I may have...

Les, I wrote: and you responded: I think we are using two different concepts of time here. I used the concept as it emerges on p. 3 in my proposed "alternative ontology" ( http://home.swipnet.se/bo_herlin/pdf/time_4pA4.pdf ) (I call it "active time" in the diagrams), and that is...

oldunion (you made a slight mistake when posting the quotation, I wrote it, not Les Sleeth), I was referring to space as an aspect of spacetime. As this is a continuum, with time inseparable from it, time is as much a geometrical dimension as is the three dimensions of space. But I personally...

Les Sleeth wrote: I agree with this. Time as a dimension is just an abstraction, a result of observation and recording regular cycles, if I understand you correctly. (This corresponds to my concept 'recorded time'.) But you also have a real, phenomenal aspect of time -- as oldunion...

A still existing "past" as a possibility Thanks for the response, Les. I had to have something to start with, and this helps me, it is just the kind of feedback I needed. I'll try to follow your advice to post one idea at a time, having the illustrations and the concentrated formulations of...

Les Sleeth wrote This version may be easier to handle: http://home.swipnet.se/bo_herlin/pdf/time_4pA4.pdf . I don't know how I could include the diagrams in this forum, they may be too complicated, so I hope this pdf will work - the pages can be enlarged in the Adobe reader. I have...

Several years ago I had an idea about time which I thougth had to be tested, as it seemed to give solutions to a lot of philosphical problems I had. The idea seemed to be too good to be true, so I tried hard to find any serious errors, but I have not been able to find any. It wasn't easy to...
