What we call time is movement from one state to another. Since change is the one constant in life, we can not conceive of anything being static. The only thing that doesn't change is the moment of now. So now is the only thing that is not affected by time. Time as a construct is ever present yet intangible.

This is long and challenging. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/time-s-passage-is-probably-an-illusion/

He can pontificate as much as he likes. I won't be responding.

The real question is why do I bother to respond to your snide comments.

Then why are you still talking?

The past and the present don't exist. Only the now, which is both infinitely short and infinitely long. Time doesn't pass it simply is now. We have nothing to measure the speed of time, only it's passing. Even the length of a day changes daily. Which have standard measurements of time to order the events of life. Even the calendar has and will continue to be adjusted.

What I meant is, I see the Sun before Londoners. If it were possible to see a person in London. I am looking back into the past. Since there line of latitude was in the same position as mine 10 hours ago. You are making progress in understanding something that took me 20 years.

My concept of time precludes a past or future. The time is now, nothing else exists. Things only exist in present tense. The following is from the Oxford English Dictionary exist verb not used in the progressive tenses) to be real; to be present in a place or situation

Where does an abstract concept exist?

Knowing the quality of time not only maximizes the success of your actions. It also gives you the frame of the field in which you are interacting. Plus I like having time as my hobby.

The earth rotates 1,000 miles per hour. The sun will rise at 6:03am October 24th in Sydney . The time in New York will 3:03 pm October 23rd. In addition the Sun will rise at 7:16 am in New York City. To put it another way, it takes the earth 15 hours to rotate so that New York (75 deg west) sees sunrise, Sydney (150 deg east) the difference is 225 degrees, 15 time zones or 15 hours. Clock and calendar time is a measurement of the earth's movement relative to the Sun. Sidereal time is the measurement of the Sun's movement. There's is also local mean time, actual local time and standard time.

Yes our perception of time changes depending on our task. You can also slow down time. I was told this over 20 years ago. Some things are hard to verbalise even though you can feel their veracity. At one point I was considering learning Sanskrit, but choose to focus on Astrology and finding links with Vedic scripture. I may go back to our since I am certain it is indeed a divine script. @Chevdove this idea may help. In the present moment you want to understand the outcome of the transformative process. Or at least be able to shape it. Control or foreknowledge is not needed for transformation. Don't know if that's useful or not for your process. Let me know what you think of this idea.

If someone bounces a ball a block a away. You hear the sound because it takes sound longer to travel the distance. Light travels at roughly 186,000 miles a second. A star is so far away that it is in the distant. I am roughly 10,000 miles away from London which is roughly 10 time zones. So I am actually 10 hours in the future relative to London. And 15 time zones away from NYC so I am 15 hours in the future relative to New York. When I first studied Astrology I found the various types of time confusing. Let me know if that clears it up for you . Hopefully we can bring some light to some of your questions.

I don't think time exists. The measurement is not the same as the thing. @Chevdove this may be useful for you. If you are not interested or it goes against your beliefs, no problem no pressure.

I have the good fortune not to listen to good advice.

Visionaries literally see the what others can not. So why listen to people who can't see you?

But don't battle with fools.

@Chevdove if you have a revolutionary idea it takes people a long time to understand. I have been working on Astrology for 24 years and time for the last five. Most Astrologers have no idea what I'm doing. I have one Astrological friend who gets it. As do my clients. It's hard to comprehend because it isn't like anything other people are doing. So they have no framework for my practice. I just keep going. Keep the focus on you and your work. Family and friends can be antagonistic if you don't play the role they have put on you. So communicate with people that affirm you and leave the critics where they are. Just ask yourself are the critics well adjusted and satisfied with their lives.

@Chevdove you have a passion for research. Maybe it's s the matter of finding the audience that will appreciate your scholarship?

I had one permanent job in 1986 for about a year and another for maybe a year or so. I was more interested In living my life than be invested in corporate America.

Their name for Sirius means heavy. Which ius interesting since it is a dwarf star that is heavy and can't be seen without a telescope. They also arrange their huts in a fractal pattern, before fractals were discovered
