Henry, you oughta get a "Bullitzer Pirze" for that one! 

 

Great post!

You would have to use advance sync for metric time, or English time, or any
other becuase we never know what time it is, only what time it was at our
last observation. Thus the expression "at the beep the time will be" vs "The
time is" Because as soon as the instant of time occurs it has already pased
before we determine what time it was from observation.  When you consider
time dilation and other variations, it is actually quite difficult to
determine what time it is precisely. It is indivisible to a rational
fraction since the last integer is never expressed in an infinite string.
Time zero, (now) never exists because as soon as it does exist, it is
passed. Now could be described as the point when a parabolic curve
intercepts a hyperbolic curve~ at infinity. And while infinity large can be
expressed, infinity small cannot since since it never exists. 

The root of why time zero canot exist explains why we have so many round
toit's. since we can never get around to it now, as now has already past. 

This then presents the paradox of trying to get ahead of time. Time does not
have a velocity, and any velocity dilates time (Theory of general
relativity) Thus it is impossible to ever get ahead of time because any
velocity puts us behind time. Only a negative velocity would place us ahead
of time, but again is a paradox since any velocity is expressed in time
units and time does not allow negative factors, nor positive factors, only
zero velocity. Thus time has no velocity and thus nothing happens only at
zero time, since there is no interval for an event to express. 

Achieving time zero is much as achieving absolute zero, a state of sero
energy and motion. While we can obtain near absolute sero, in terms of
millions of a e value, we can never stop all motion because there is always
some residual temperture energy, if from nothing else than the energy used
to observe the event. So absolute zero cannot exist in an observeable form,
only the residue of absolute zero. Similar to determining the field density
of a radio wave at infinity on a sphere. It is simply diluted to some tiny
but finite value.  But using the value of the field at infinity we can
calculate the energy at the point of origin.   

So no matter how accurate we believe our clock to be, it is always a little
off from real time. And with that, we gain the value of time off.  Bye for
now.
