The discussion centers on the concept of a time rotation operator and its analogy to spatial rotations. It is established that a time rotation operator cannot exist independently of spatial dimensions, as time is a single dimension. Instead, Lorentz boosts serve as the appropriate analogy, combining time and space dimensions to illustrate how transformations occur in relativistic physics. This conclusion emphasizes the interdependence of time and space in the context of rotations.
PREREQUISITESPhysicists, students of theoretical physics, and anyone interested in the relationship between time and space in the framework of relativity.
There can't be a "time rotation operator" in the sense of just "rotating time" and not affecting "space" at all, because (heuristically) "time" is only one dimension and it makes no sense to "rotate" in just one dimension; you need at least two. So you need to include at least one dimension of space in the rotation.phyahmad said:could there be a time rotation operator in analogy with rotations in space
