The discussion revolves around the nature of time and its relationship with motion. Participants explore whether time can exist independently of motion, and consider hypothetical scenarios involving reversed motion and the absence of matter.
Participants express disagreement regarding the dependency of time on motion, with some asserting that time can exist without motion while others challenge this view. The discussion remains unresolved with multiple competing perspectives.
Some assumptions about the nature of time and motion are not fully explored, and the implications of time dilation are not clarified in detail. The discussion includes hypothetical scenarios that may not align with established physical theories.
No. Perhaps you are confused by time dilation? Do you understand that concept?TheQuestionGuy14 said:Is time dependent on the motion of everything in the universe?
It sounds to me like you are asking "if time were reversed, would it look like time was reversed?"If all motion was played in reverse, so particles gain kinetic energy from sound and heat energy as they move the opposite direction, and light retreats into the sun, would time technically now be flowing backwards? If all matter (so there are no reference frames) did not exist, would time exist?
