1250 Su Sung's astronomical clock, runs on water in China

1320 Great clock in Baghdad

1300s spread of clocks to Mediterranean and Spain, weight driven

Clocks in Churches in Roman Catholic rite, not Orthodox rite.

1450s watches designed once spring movement is perfected

1600s Galileo and Newton perfect and explain pendulum driven clocks

1700s search for navigational clocks to establish proper longitude

1800s GMT or Greenwich Mean Time established due to steamships

1900s Einstein discover's time dilation and elasticity related to mass and the warping of spaces by massive objects.

Time lords

Time as an illusion: All existence persists now, we just do not see, feel or apprehend it.

Time as measurable: every 13 minutes a neutron will spontaneously decay into a proton and an electron, when not bond in an atomic nuclei

Time as a cycle the recurrent movement through a repeated series of events

Time as an arrow the duration existing between two separated events

• creation of Rome or Mecca as holy places.
• death of Christ & his return to Earth.

Time as a dimension Einstein insisted is really spacetime.

Stephen Hawking & Richard Feynman -- argue that time flows two ways meaning that for some subatomic particles such as tachyons, time flows in the reverse direction from our experience.

Conclusion

What if time has three dimensions (massless mass)?

1. Duration |------------------>|

2. Frequency -------/\------/\--------------/\------/\------

3. Intensity ------____----˜˜˜˜˜˜˜ ------____----

Time is, was and will be the underlying mystery,
Where we are the instrument, not the lovely melody.

Then, Reality is beyond our perception and understanding, but must be comprehended by some "fiction" by which we experience passage from period to period and era to era as we age.

Red Queen Hypothesis: To keep ahead of nature is impossible, but to keep ahead of technology requires intelligence, caution, judgment and split second timing (synchronicity); this is why we love games. They test our capacity to synchronize our responses with the rules, character and objectives of the contest.

Planets move, as if hands on the face of a cosmically solar clock, sweeping out equal areas about the sun in equal time (elapsed duration).
