The Concept of Time and the Constellation Horologium Oscillatorium

Do you think you know what time is? If you ask an astrologer he will say "which time do you mean – sidereal time, or tropical time". And if you ask someone from the Orthodox church he may say "Julian calendar or Gregorian calendar"? And if you ask a physicist he will say "In general relativity, the question of what time it is now only has meaning relative to a particular observer". Time is not absolute. Days may be measured with respect to the stars (sidereal day), the true Sun (apparent Solar day) or the mean Sun (mean Solar day), which is why you should not adjust your watch according to a sun-dial. I hope that you can see that even something as apparently simple as a day is actually very difficult to measure. The ‘time’ we use, is simply a number that we can use to co-ordinate our actions, but actually ‘time’ using materialistic measures has no existence. Even climate change is having an effect “the fossil fuels that humans are burning and the subsequent carbon dioxide they are releasing, skew the radiocarbon age … within the next few years it will be difficult to distinguish newly produced materials from historical artifacts several hundred years old". In this video we will have a brief look at all these different measures - from gods names to carbon or radiometric dating - and show that all of them have problems. Time is our experience of the cause effect workings of the systems of the universe. Time is thus an illusion. Outside this realm of our own experience there is no "time".
