THE FABRIC OF COSMOS : ( Part 2 of 4 )

The illusion of Time . 

 How does the time flow ?
  What is time ?

 Cesium clocks 

These are the most accurate commercially produced time and frequency standards , and serve as the primary standard for the definition of the second in SI ( the metric system ) . 
Cesium clocks are used to measure time .

                                                                   Cesium atomic clock . 





When we travel then we take time as the origin and consider all the events on the scale of time . 


             Basic time scale where distance moved is measured with the passage of time . 




Newton's picture of time .
Time runs same for all the objects in the entire Universe . 

Einstein's picture of time .
He considered time beats differently across the entire Universe . 



                                                    Newton's v/s Einstein time scale .


" Motion through space even effects time . "



Hafele - Keating experiment .

The Hafele-Keating experiment was a test of the theory of relativity . In October 1971 , Joseph C.Hafele , a physicist , and Richard E Keating , an astronomer , took four cesium-beam atomic clocks aboard commercial airlines . They flew twice around the world , first eastward , then westward , and compared the clocks against others that remained at the United States Naval Observatory . When reunited , the three sets of clocks were found to disagree with one another , and their differences were consistent with the predictions of special and general relativity .

                                        Time differences predicted and measured .






Space and time which effects each other forms a never ending fabric called Space-time fabric in the 4 th Dimension . 

Continuous snapshots - Here event happening are shown in space and time in continuous pattern .


  


         Formation of the Universe in the continuous pattern as snapshots in the scale of time . 

Time - scale and events occurring at each time interval . 






Considering a slice it shows the different events happening in that slice .



                        Different events occurring in the slice of the space-time fabric .




                                                               Time slices .


Here the motion of the object effects its past and future .
Here comes the Time travelers .




                               Motion of the object effects its past and future . 


Gravity when used for time machine .
Stronger the gravity slower the time flows.
Weaker the gravity faster the time flows .


" Wormholes which open gateways in the UNIVERSE was considered as time machines . " 



                                            Wormholes and the Time travelers . 



" Black holes which has stronger gravity was also considered as time machine ."


         
                                        Black holes and wormholes as time travelers . 





        Arrow of Time .
      The arrow of time is the "one-way direction" (or) "asymmetry" of time .



                                          Arrow of time : Into the past and to the future .



                                                            
                                                          Types of arrow of time .


The thermodynamic arrow of time : The thermodynamic arrow of time is provided by the Second Law of Thermodynamics , which says that in an isolated system , entropy tends to increase with time . Entropy can be thought of as a measure of microscopic disorder , thus the Second Law implies that time is asymmetrical with respect to the amount or order in as isolated system : as a system advances through time , it will statistically become more disordered .  

The Cosmological arrow of time : The cosmological arrow of time points in the direction of the universe's expansion . It may be linked to the thermodynamic arrow, with the universe heading towards a heat death ( Big chill ) as the amount of usable energy become negligible . Alternatively , it may be an artifact of our place in the universe's evolution , with this arrow reversing as gravity pulls everything back into a Big Crunch .

The quantum arrow of time : Quantum evolution is governed by the Schrodinger equation , which is time-symmetric , and by wave function collapse , which is time irreversible .

The psychological / perceptual arrow of time : A related mental arrow arises because one has the sense that one's perception is a continuous movement from the known (past) to the unknown (future) . Anticipating the unknown forms the psychological future which always seems to be something one is moving towards , but like a projection in a mirror , it make what is actually already a part of memory , such as desires , dreams and hopes , seem ahead of the observer .



                                              Arrows of time .






Ludwig Boltzmann : He gave Entropy formula .



                                                 Boltzmann's entropy equation . 


Every system transform from ordered to disordered state .

As the arrow of time flows as time passes entropy increases .

At the beginning of time what were the Initial conditions .
There was low entropy at the Big - bang :- It was in ordered state of all physics .
" 13.7 billion years ago Big - band occurred ."




Far future of time - 

  • Expanding Universe speed up with time ( accelerating ) , our galaxy is in the middle of  nothing .
  • Universe will expand forever .
  • Universe will eventually reverses and the Universe re collapses , ultimately ending as a  black hole singularity (or) causing a reformation of the Universe starting with another big bang .





                                             Fate of the UNIVERSE , its future . 


Do Black holes dominate the COSMOS .
At the far end random particles dominate the space .

 " Is the flow of time is like flow of river ." 


                                                Time flowing like a river . 
       


                    " This is beyond experience of reality . "
