How did you find PF?
It was recommended to me and I did a google search for physics forums.
Hello.

I'm brand new here. I am not a physicist or scientist. I'm insanely curious, though, and I think a lot. I'm somewhat of an amateur philosopher. I've been studying philosophy for the past 31 years. I'm also very interested in Physics and Cosmology. I'm particularly interested in how philosophical principles integrate with the special sciences and the total knowledge spectrum. Special areas of interest for me are epistemology and ethics. To me, philosophy is a rational science. One particular area of study is how to understand the nature of time. I'm also very interested in Conformal Cyclic Cosmology.

Welcome to PF.

Please keep in mind that we do not discuss philosophy or personal speculation here. We discuss mainstream science as published in the peer-reviewed literature and mainstream textbooks. You can learn a lot here! :smile:

This is philosophy, rather than physics. Time, as far as physics is concerned, is precisely how it is mathematically presented in the special and general theories of relativity.
