Time is used to describe the motion of objects in relation to one another. While scientists and thinkers have proposed many definitions of time, it is best defined as a term comparing the motion of one or more objects to another. Understanding time accurately is important for comprehending phenomena like gravity. Time does not exist without motion, and is measured by comparing the motion of objects, like using miles per hour to compare travel speed to the earth's rotation. Clocks also measure time based on motion, like the spinning of clock hands or oscillation of quartz crystals.

1. WHAT IS TIME
So to sumup, mybestdefinitionof time is:A termwe use to describe the motionof one ormore objects
comparedto another.
Throughoutthe past several hundredyears,manyscientistsandthinkershave wonderedwhattime is.
Several have triedtodefine time. Theirdefinitionsare sometimesoverlappingandsome are more
accurate than others. Inthisdocument,Iwill define andexplainexactlywhattime is. If scientistsand
thinkersdon’tgeta handle ora good definitionandunderstandingof exactlywhattime isthentheywill
not begintounderstandgravityandothercritical environmental phenomena.
I will addresswhytime (Idon’tevenliketouse the word) slowsdownwhenmotionisinvolved.
Here are a few thingsto thinkaboutgoingintothe subjectof time:
1. Time doesn’texistwithoutmotion.
2. Time comparesmotiontoanotherobject.
3. Time is not always totally accurate intoday’smethods, evenwithanatomicclock.
4. Time can be accurate whenspecial relativitymethodsare usedalongwithadded
synchronizationmethodsregardingspace movedclocks.
An Example:
MPH: Milesperhouris basedonmotionof how fast one objecttravelscomparedtothe motionof the
earth. When the earthturns 15 of its 360 degrees,andyouhave traveled100 milesduringthe 15
degreesthenyouhave gone 100mph. . Thisis basedonmotionof the clockrelative tothe earthspin.
Anotherexample:
A clockhas secondhandthat is designedwithacrystal and dividertoprovide enoughtickstogoaround
fourcycles (or revolutions) of aclock. This againisbasedon motionof the clock relative tothe earth
spin.
Anotherexample:
A crystal in a clockis cut at a reactance frequencyof 1MHZ and enclosedinashieldedcontainerthatwill
helpreduce driftorincrease ordecrease of the crystal frequency. Thenthe outputis divideddownto
match the movementof the earthsothere are 240 secondsperdegree of earthspin.
Anotherexample:
I will meetyouatsix PM. Since your clockand my clockare updatedautomaticallybythe worldtime
synch.Our clocksprovide motionthatwill correspondtomybodybeingata certainpointwhenthe
motionof the earth andthe motionof our clockscorrespond.

2. Why andhow do clocks drift?
Terrestrial Clocks:
All clocksare designedaroundmotion. There are noclocksthat I know of that don’tinvolve motion.
Whenone objectisin motion,itisaffectedtosome extentby the factthat it comesincontact withand
interactswithobjectsnormallyunseenwithinthe space oratmosphere etc.
Space Travel Clocks:
You can picture a baseball beingthrownwithaspinbehindit. If itisthrownfast,the spinwill decrease
quicker. The same happenstoatoms as theytravel throughspace. The decreasedspinaccountsforthe
lossof movementwithinanatomicclock.
Note:Einstein’s workregardingsynchronizationforclockswasgreatand prettymuch all of hisspecial
relativity andNewtonanalysisandclarificationotherthanthe mathwhenexceedingthe constant.
Einsteinseemstohave become perplexedasmostscientistsdoonhow motion (orwhathe describesas
time) isaffectedbymovement(ormovementaffectedbymovement). Once time isunderstoodthenit
all becomesquite simple andtakesthe magicof benttime,time travel etc.outof the realmof
possibility. (Be careful whenpluggingvaluesthatare negative,0,orusinginfinity).
Time travel:
Thishappensonlyone wayand thatis inour imagination. Once somethinghappens,ithashappened.It
doesn’tkeep happening;itisnotstill happeningwhereyoucantravel back to whenthe happening
happenedandre-liveit. Howdoyou know this? Because youare here now,you are not back there still
at the happening.
So to sumup, mybestdefinitionof time is:A termwe use to describe the motionof one ormore objects
comparedto another.
If you wantto betterunderstandthistrycommunicatingwithoutusingthe wordtime. Instead,try
describingthe exactmotiontowhichyouare referring,andyouwill understandmore quickly.
My car can go 120mph. Or my car can go quickerthan 1/10th
of the speedof the earth’srotation.
Meetme here in2 hours or meetme here whenthe earthspinsanother30 degrees.
