Hi!
I have a question about time.
I don't understand why everyone thinks of a time as some coordinate like x,y,z. I don't get it. From my point of view the time as some physical quantity doesn't exist. Because there is only moving matter. And we can talk about time by observing changes in that matter. So we can talk about time only when the hand of a clock moves from one position to another. And time dilation is just a different type of matter movement. And so time travel is impossible because one must change all matter to it's previous position. I really don't understand why we talk about time as some existing entity.
I suppose I have some major flow in my understanding. So can anyone explain to me this issues or point to some books, articles?
Thank you
