Aside from the conclusions that our universe is made of little bits of time; the question of why study time is worth considering.
First, time has not been as fully examined as it should be given the fact that it is inherently fundamental in every equation of physics. While in recent times, more effort has been made to consider time and while time has been the subject of science fiction (perhaps everyone knows of the classic "The Time Machine"); most science historically and even recently accepts time as a constant. It is accepted. Time is the "t" in the equation. We work with time as it passes mathematically relegating past time to historians some of whom are poorly suited to the concepts in this blog and in the soon to be released "The Einstein Hologram Universe" (Watch for it on amazon).
As set out in this blog and as discussed in more detail in "The Einstein Hologram Universe" fundamental physics springs from time more than any other feature. Space (dimension and the contents- mass and energy) and gravitational attraction are directly linked to time at a fundamental level. The evidence set out within the E-H-U empirically shows that space and its contents must stem primarily from time, and at least mathematically from a "singularity" which exists without dimension or time as we experience it.
In a future blog (and in later chapters of the book) we explore the ethics of thought in a universe where thought gives rise to time. This "circular argument" springs from the fact that infinite series which we experience indicate that similar circular math could control the singularity. If this is accepted, I would propose that a "pro-life" stance is suggested but wrong. That is to say that all thought producing life would have value (i.e. we can't eat anything smarter than a turnip if we are true to this theory) when I think the suggestion is that the concept of the long term protection of "good thought" is more important. The reasoning is that there was already sufficient thought to give rise to time (this is a mathematical, not philosophical theory in E-H-U theory) so that creation or protection of thought for the sake of making enough thought would be unnecessary. This, however, is for another blog entry.
