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 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
