Time

Lets talk about time. We all know what time is right ? Not very complex. I am sure we all know about time but we don't understand it. 20th century genius Albert Einstein took a deep dive into this realm of reality. Einstein gave us a clear picture about the essence of time and its importance in the origin of the universe. The Einsteinian explanation of time is different from that of the Newtonian time. The Einsteinian explanation of time is the intimate understanding of currently possess. In our day to day life we talk about time in the context of a clock and in a 24 hours format. But time is more than this, time is a continued sequence of existence and events that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present into the future. It is component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the interval between them and to quantify rates of changes of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience. If we try to view the world through the eyes of Einstein, we realise that time is a fundamental property of the universe. Its not the conscious experience that lead to origin of time, existence of time transcends everything we see and imagine. The moment of emergence of reality corresponds with emergence of time. Time in physics is operationally defined as what clocks reads. Now lets ask few questions why do we need time or why our ancestors had invented a clock or a method to quantify our life and mould it according to a clock. The answers are not quite definitive but still I will try to place my view on this. Lets dive into the history of time. How it originated in human world ? Artefacts of the Palaeolithic suggests that the moon was used to reckon time as early as 6000 years ago. Lunar calendar were among the first to appear, with years of either 12 or 13 lunar months( either 354 to 384 days ). Other early forms of calendars originated in Mesoamerica, particularly in ancient Mayan civilisation. These calendars were religiously and astonishingly based with 18 months in a year and 20 days in month, plus five epagomental days at the end of the year. The reforms of Julius Caesar in 45 BC put the Roman world on a solar calendar. This Julian calendar was a faculty in that its intercalation still allowed the astronomical solstices and equinoxes to advance against it by about 11 minutes per year. Pope Gregory XIII introduced a correction in 1852; the Gregorian calendar were invented in an attempt to dechristanize time and create a more rational system in order to replace the Gregorian calendar. The French republican calendars days consisted of ten hours of a hundred minutes of a hundred second, which marked a deviation from the base 12 hour system used in many other times in many cultures. The system was abolished in 1806. People across ages tried to organise time in a way so that we could synchronise our life and day to day activity with it. As I mentioned earlier we align our calendar and time according to the manoeuvre of heavenly bodies. Does time exists outside of human consciousness ? I do not know, its a controversial topic. Does time exists because we human are here to perceive it or its the other way around, time exists irrespective of the existence of human consciousness and its a fundamental property of the universe. Einstein once quoted that the distinction between past, present and future is but a stubborn illusion. What I extrapolated from this phrase is that existence of time is just an illusion. Past exists because we can remember it, future exists because we can imagine it and present exists because we live in it. We cannot distinguish a particular moment into past present and future. We determine our age based on Gregorian calendar which is mainly our chronological age but it cannot determine our biological age. Biological age cannot be determined by numbers.

Biological age can be determined by health and conditions of our internal ecosystem. A women might be aged 30 chronologically but her biological age could be equivalent to a 25 years old girl. In this case nature gave us an upper hand, we cannot stop or more appropriately delay the forward motion of chronological time but when it comes to biological time we can delay it down. Trying to stay healthy is a choice. Maintaining a good and healthy diet and nutrition is utmost important for good health and longevity. And there are lots of other factors that have an impact on our health. I will not go through all of them you can learn about it on google baba. The invention of a calendar or a clock is one of the greatest inventions of mankind. Calendar help us to keep track of our life and help us quantify and organise it. The fact that makes me more crazy and curious is the Einsteinian time. According to Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, if we accelerate at a much higher velocity or if we place ourselves on a region of higher intense gravity time slows down. When Einstein talked about time he meant something that transcends the conventional chronological movement of time and addressed something more inherent and deeply connected with the universe. Let me explain it to you with a simple example : Lets say a twin of you born at the exact same time gone to a planet with a very high gravity like 120 % of earth gravity and that planet is circulating around a gargantuan black hole. According to General Theory of Relativity, time is passing significantly slowly as compared to you staying at the spaceship. How much is this delay ? Its probably 1 hour on the planet is equivalent to 7 years back on earth. This is an astonishingly massive time delay. So to know precisely your chronological age you have synchronise your clock by putting on the numbers into the equation put forth by Einstein. Same-thing was showed in the movie Interstellar. One of my favourite movies of all time directed by one and only Christopher Nolan. 2015 Nobel Laureate in Physics Kip Thorne also assisted in making the movie, gave it a more scientific look. But my question is if time delay is happening at a physical level then how does it effects the biology of a living organism. I actually want to know what happens in that space when a living organism enter in. It is really a weird phenomena occurring in nature. And you know whats more crazy this whole phenomena first appeared or you can say forged in the cerebral cortex of Albee Einstein. I think one day Nobel Prize will be given to someone who will decipher this mystery. In our everyday life, we do not observe the complexity connected with time. We think we understand time but there is so much going on underneath which makes scientist baffled.
