Do u think that this can be true that time = light ???

Question

I mean time could originally be light !?
plz, give me logical answers! not just 'Yes' or 'No' , u reason's what matters the most!
thanx anyway

Answer 1

close, they are in relation as seen by E's special theory of relativity.

When considering the propagation in a system moving relative to the source,E found that either c (SOL) or time would be skewed relative to the observer. Since c as a constant is a requirement, E concluded that space and time coordinates would have to be rescaled (dependent on the velocity).

Your question is actually what started E. down his path to Special Relativity. He realized that while watching a clock from some distance away that the time it took the light to travel from the clock while it ticked would affect his perceived time (ie. it would be later then it actually was when he saw it). This isn't the basis for S.R. but it did get him thinking along those lines.

Answer 2

You are exactly right, but the question should be asked as, does light (electromagnetic energy) form physical time. The answer to this question is obviously, yes.

The reason is found in the formation of the smallest physical part of an atom. That is the electron. Multiples of this form neutrons and protons, which in turn form all matter.

The way in which this works is that electromagnetic energy completes a circle of more than 360 degrees, thus it becomes bonded to itself, like a long door spring will do if it is formed into a circle and the ends pushed into each other. The spring remains bonded into a circle.

When an electron is formed in this manner, there is a magnetic field in existence in its northern half, an electric equator, and physical mass in the southern half. Electrons are seen to come into existence in this manner when a high energy photon enters an atom and converts into an electron pair - negative and positive electrons (polarity is determined by direction of spin).

The gravitational field about our planet is a field of physical time, the same as electromagnetic energy is the basis of it. This is seen in the concept that c2 = E/m, a mass energy (ultimately that of electromagnetic energy) relationship.

Answer 3

It isnt true. Light is a physical entity. Its tangible. Although it has different forms or sometimes acts as waves and others as particles called photons. Time on the other hand is not tangible. We dont "see" time. Time is a duration between events. Through time we are able to determine distance or space.Although they are intertwined time and light are different entities.

Answer 4

Time and the speed of light are merely a means of measuring vast distances. They are not synonymous. However I can understand how you made the connection. Keep asking questions. That's how we discover new answers.

Answer 5

Time is not equal to light. If you are confused with light years and time here is the explantion. Lightyears is the distance not time. It is the distance that the light travels in a year in vacuam

Answer 6

In reality, time is nothing more than mere duration of events. A continuation of things that exist. Light is separate and only exist because of time.

Answer 7

My definition of Time:
Time = The medium where cause and effect flows.

Answer 8

Hi,

I think it is not true.
Time is something and light is something else like

bread and butter ...

Answer 9

No.

That is so stupid it hurts.
