Can Time and Space has Duality ?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the potential duality of time and space, questioning whether they can be perceived similarly when considering only one dimension of space alongside time. It highlights the constraints of time travel and the inherent differences between time, which is unidirectional, and space. The conversation emphasizes the need for mathematical similarities between the two entities to establish a duality. Additionally, it addresses the role of light in perception and the implications of a one-dimensional space on gravitational forces and motion. Ultimately, the cyclical nature of motion in this context is proposed to define a quantum of time.

Can Time and Space has Duality ?

If only one dimension of space is considered together with time, can a duality exist for time and space? So that space looks like time and vice versa.

I think the biggest problem with that is that time travel is very constrained. space has different properties the time like the fact that time is a one way road. For the two to look alike (confusing), the mathematical model of both entities most have several similarities. Then there is the problem of light, we see with it and our perception of the world depends on it. Since light travels the same way in your 2d world then space and time should not be mistaken.
 
If space is one dimensional, the force of gravity is a constant. This constant force implies constant acceleration. Constant acceleration implies constant magnitude and constant rate of change of direction. The path of motion is circular. This cyclic motion defines a quantum of time.
 

Thread 'How feasible is home radio astronomy?'

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
