<p>Create/expand category description</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>This category collects work on the &#039;&#039;&#039;nature of time&#039;&#039;&#039;: whether it flows independently of space or is a dimension of a spacetime manifold, whether it is absolute or relative, and what physical process a clock actually measures.<br /> <br /> The dispute is foundational to much of this wiki. In special relativity, time is a coordinate mixed with space by the Lorentz transformation, and simultaneity is relative. Against this, researchers here argue variously for &#039;&#039;&#039;absolute or universal time&#039;&#039;&#039; in the Newtonian sense; for a &#039;&#039;&#039;Lorentzian&#039;&#039;&#039; reading in which moving clocks are physically slowed relative to a preferred frame while time itself is unaffected; and for the position — associated with neo-Hertzian electrodynamics — that if time is independent of space then the total time derivative d/dt is frame-independent and is the operator physics ought to use.<br /> <br /> Entries include analyses of time dilation and the twin paradox, the GPS timing evidence, clock-transport and atomic-clock experiments, arguments about the relativity of simultaneity, and philosophical treatments of duration and becoming.
