# Energy 6

time ~ change

energy ~ the ability of causing change

.

Each system tends to reach its own lowest potential energy state because “lowest potential energy state” means “least ability to change”.

# Two dimensional time 5.2.3

The first time direction is uncontrollable; the second is controlled by making choices, traveling through different realities. Future is a set of parallel universes.

The first time direction, which is along the timeline, is uncontrollable, because one can only travel from the past to the future, not the opposite.

The second direction, which is across different timelines, is controlled by making choices, forming different realities.

# Multiple dimensions of time

Two dimensional time 5.2 | 二次元時間 5.2

.

What would be the implications of multiple dimensions of time?

That means the (past) history itself can change, as commonly seen in time travel stories.

But wouldn’t that be the case with one dimension also?

In reality, there is only one dimension of time, meaning that the state of a system keeps changing, forming the timeline. But the timeline itself cannot be changed once formed. In other words, (past) history cannot be changed.

# Life, 3

.

We exist in time because time is change.

Growing is part of the definition of life. Growing is a kind of change.

.

Also, without time/change, there would be no thinking and no thoughts.

# The language of Change 1.2

Energy conservation, 6.2 | Energy 5.2

.

time ~ change

energy ~ the ability of _keeping_ changing

.

constant velocity ~ the amount of an object’s change of position, measured with respect to its observer’s unit of change, is constant

$s = \Delta x$

$v = \frac{s}{\Delta t} = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

.

kinetic energy ~ the amount of the ability of keeping changing an object’s position

$\frac{1}{2} m v^2$ ~ the square of (the amount of change of position, relative to the observer’s unit of change)

.

.

Energy difference is _not_ exactly a measurement of the amount of change, time interval is.

# The language of Change

Energy conservation, 6 | Energy 5

.

time ~ change

energy ~ the ability of causing change

Assuming

1. a system of one single particle

2. has only kinetic energy

3. and that kinetic energy is conserved.

conservation of energy ~ an object’s potential amount of change of position, measured with respect to its observer’s unit of change, is constant

$s = \Delta x$

$v = \frac{s}{\Delta t} = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

— Me@2018-02-15 02:21:20 PM

.

Note:

The above argument has a bug:

If the mass m is constant, the kinetic energy $E_K$ should be proportional to velocity squared $v^2$, instead of velocity $v$.

$E_K = \frac{1}{2} m v^2$

.

However, the above argument is still technically correct:

When $E_K$ is constant, $v^2$ is constant. In turn, the magnitude of $v$ also remains unchanged.

# Change

By the definition of “time”, anything in time must be changing. Anything not in time, such as the dead, cannot change.

If you do not keep changing for better (improve, grow), you are effectively dead.

# Energy 2

energy ~ change

time ~ change

If you do not change, you cannot stay in time anymore.

So the key to keep the existence of yourself is to keep changing yourself.

# Energy

Energy is the ability of causing change.

Change is related to time.

That’s why energy is related to time.

Application of Noether’s theorem allows physicists to gain powerful insights into any general theory in physics, by just analyzing the various transformations that would make the form of the laws involved invariant. For example:

• the invariance of physical systems with respect to spatial translation (in other words, that the laws of physics do not vary with locations in space) gives the law of conservation of linear momentum;
• invariance with respect to time translation gives the well-known law of conservation of energy

# 時、間、時間, 2

Time is a dimension in which events can be ordered from the past through the present into the future, and also the measure of durations of events and the intervals between them.
