Steve,

You’re welcome.

Just in case you were wondering what I think physics misses, at the top of the list would be that they model time backwards. The narrative flow, of the point of the present, moving from past to future, is an effect of our sequential process of perception. Which physics codifies as measures of duration.

The reality is that change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns. Potential, actual, residual. Duration is the present, as events form and dissolve.

There is no “dimension” of time, because the past is consumed by the present, in order to inform it. Causality and conservation of energy. No time traveling through wormholes in the fabric of spacetime.

So time is an effect, like temperature, pressure, color, etc. Think frequencies and amplitudes.

Safe to say, I’m banned from various physics blogs.
