    There is no yes or no. "measure" is not a
    strictly defined term (most terms aren't),
    so whether you use it or not is a fuzzy
    choice of yours. A number called "the real
    time the journey takes" - for sure can
    always be assigned to the journey, and not just
    one. And my answer is very serious, like
    always.

    It is much much easier to measure imaginary time then it is to measure

    My questions are:
    1. Can you measure "the real time"?

    The measure 'time' is actually an interval and needs to have a beginning
    and an end.

    This is so because time is based on the idea of counting events of known frequency.

    And counting starts with 'one, two, three...'.

    The end of this process is the time of the event in question.

    Usually the used clock has some internal means to calculate user
    friendly outputs, which we call 'current time'.

    But mainly it is based on some sort of oscillator with known frequency
    and some sort of 'computer', which generates the output.

    Since this principle requires always a starting point, we negotiated 'universal' starting points on Earth.

    Of those there are several in use on Earth, mainly the supposed birth of
    Jesus Christ.

    Other events are also possible, while also questionable.

    Jesus for instance was most like born much earlier and was most likely
    not named 'Jesus'.

    As far as this is know, 'Jesus' is based on a Greek name, while the
    actually meant person was (most likely) a Jew who spoke Aramaic, hence certainly had no Greek name.

    Similar with other 'starting points', especially the 'big bang', because
    most likely 'big-bangs' are 'relative'.

    Why are you babbling nonsense in stead of giving an answer?

    The questions are simple:

    | 1. Can you measure "the real time"?
    |
    | Let's be concrete.
    | If you are travelling from A to B in your car,
    | is it then possible to measure the non physical entity
    | "the real time" the journey takes?
    |
    | Yes or no, please.

    Don't pretend you do not know that the answer is "yes".

    Of course even you can measure the time it takes to
    travel from A to B in your car.


    | 2. How do YOU really measure the time the journey takes?
    |
    | Be concrete. What kind of instrument do you use?

    You will use a clock to measure the time it takes to
    travel from A to B.
    The clock could be your wristwatch, or the clock in your
    smartphone. In either case will the clock be made to run
    at the rate defined by SI.
    The clock will run synchronously with UTC.
    In Poland the clock will show UTC+2h.

    --------------------

    In physics and engineering "time" must be measurable,
    and the instrument to measure time is called a clock.
    So in physics and engineering "time" is what we measure
    with clocks.

    That make "time" local, "time" is what a local clock shows.

    A clock on the geoid which is synchronous with UTC will
    measure the orbital period of a GPS satellite to be
    43082.045250 seconds.
    But if the same clock is in a GPS satellite, it will measure
    its orbital period to be 43082.045269 seconds. That's 19 ++s more.

    This is not invented by somebody, it simply is how Nature works.

    You can kick and scream as much as you want,
    your wining can't change the laws of nature.

    result is not 19++s more. You've only imagined the

    than denying basic math the same idiot did later.

    Sure it can't - there is no such thing, your moronic
    religion has fabricated them similarly to other
    religions fabricating laws of gods and for
    similar reasons.

    ...

    Okay, I'll explain it...

    'In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.'

    "... 'time' is actually an interval and needs to have a beginning..."

    So, 'In the beginning, ...' contains the first interval, the event,
    then the second interval, and so on till the end.

    Now, Before the beginning..there were no intervals, yet you still had
    time, but without intervals.
    The Big Bang was the creation of intervals.

    'In the beginning, ...

    So, you wanted to start the beginning of everything at the beginning of everything? Right?

    But I do actually believe in different timelines, where even the
    direction of time can be different.

    This would make it conceptually difficult to define 'beginning' in the
    first place.

    Most likely the universe has no beginning (and no end), while certain substructures have. Those substructureds with beginning and end are
    called by us human beings 'everything' (or 'universe'), even if that
    ain't actually correct.

    It's only everything, what we can see.

    But way more does exist than what we can see.

    and some sort of 'computer', which generates the output.

    Since this principle requires always a starting point, we negotiated 'universal' starting points on Earth.

    Of those there are several in use on Earth, mainly the supposed birth of Jesus Christ.

    Other events are also possible, while also questionable.

    Jesus for instance was most like born much earlier and was most likely
    not named 'Jesus'.

    As far as this is know, 'Jesus' is based on a Greek name, while the
    actually meant person was (most likely) a Jew who spoke Aramaic, hence certainly had no Greek name.

    Similar with other 'starting points', especially the 'big bang', because most likely 'big-bangs' are 'relative'.



    Does this mean that time is measurable?

    things - you're not repeating many of

    Can you tell me which of my following
    statements you have convinced me are wrong?

    30.6.2025| If we have a clock on the ground, which is built according
    | to the SI definition of second, then this clock will
    | measure a mean solar day to last 84600 seconds.
    |
    | If we put the _same_ clock in GPS orbit, then this clock will
    | measure a mean solar day to last 84600.000037771 seconds.
    |
    | If we put the _same_ clock in Galileo orbit, then this clock will
    | measure a mean solar day to last 84600.000039946 seconds.
    |
    | If we put the _same_ clock in GLONASS orbit, then this clock will
    | measure a mean solar day to last 84600.000036870 seconds.
    |
    | This isn't theory, it is real, practical measurement made in
    | the real world. It is proved every day by the simple fact
    | that all three GNSS systems work.
    27.8.2035| It is true that all atomic clocks in the TAI network
    | have the SI-definition built in.
    | https://gssc.esa.int/navipedia/index.php/Atomic_Time
    | "The TAI second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods
    | of the radiation corresponding to the transition
    | between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of
    | the Cesium 133 atom.
    | "
    | That means that a TAI-second is _exactly_ equal to the SI-definition.
    |
    | But not even atomic clocks are infinitely precise.
    | The precision of the TAI clocks are probably in the order
    | of 1e-15 (or better), which means that during one year
    | the clock may be 30 ns (or less) ahead or behind the correct time.
    | This is not good enough as base for the UTC.
    |
    | So a TAI-second is the average of 450+ atomic clocks, and will
    | be very close to the second defined by SI.

    28.8.2025| All clocks consists of an oscillator and a counter.
    |
    | In your wristwatch the oscillator is probably based
    | on a quartz crystal. If the frequency of this
    | quartz crystal oscillator is - say 32.768 kHz,
    | you need a modulo 32768 counter to make it tick
    | once every second.
    |
    | In an atomic clock, the oscillator is the radiation
    | corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine
    | energy levels in an an atom. If the the atom is Cs-133,
    | then the frequency of this oscillator is 9192631770 Hz
    | by definition. So if you have a modulo 9192631770 counter
    | you will get one tick every second.
    |
    | Both these clocks are running according to the SI-definition,
    | advancing one SI second each second, the difference is the precision.
    | The quartz clock can be expected to be a few seconds wrong
    | after a year, while the atomic clock can be expected to be
    | few ns (or less) wrong after a year.
    |
    | Clocks, whether they are quartz clocks or atomic clocks,
    | will always and everywhere run at the same rate.
    | They will tick once each second whether they are at the ground
    | or in a GPS satellite.

    31.8.2025| GR predicts that the gravitational deflection of
    | EM-radiation by a massive object, observed from the Earth, is:
    |
    | ++ = (2-+GM/(b-+c-#))-+(1 + cos-a) (1)
    |
    | Where:
    | b = impact parameter,
    | ray's closest approach to centre of massive object
    | -a = angle between light source and centre of massive object
    | as observed from the Earth
    | c = speed of light in vacuum
    | G = Gravitational constant
    | M = mass of massive object
    |
    | The "massive object" may be the Sun, a galaxy, a quasar or a black hole.
    |
    | The "light source" may be a star or a galaxy.

    | https://paulba.no/paper/Fomalont.pdf
    | https://paulba.no/paper/PPN_gamma_Cassini_2.pdf
    |
    | GR's prediction of gravitational deflection of
    | EM-radiation is so thoroughly experimentally confirmed
    | that it can be considered a fact.

    4.9.2025| However, what GR has defined is a geodetic line.

    | 10. The Equation of the Geodetic Line. The Motion of a Particle

    It is true that I said:
    "GPS-time is the time sent to the receiver by the SV (space vehicle).
    It is the same as TAI."

    The correct is:
    GPS-time is _always_ the same as TAI - 19 seconds.

    The important point is that GPS-time is _not_ updated
    with leap seconds like UTC is.

    This has nothing to do with Einstein.

    --------------------

    So can you tell me which of my statements about
    TAI, SI or Einstein's predictions you have convinced me
    are wrong?

    I am sure that you can find more typos, but that doesn't count

    I mean statements like these:


    30.6.2025
    | If we have a clock on the ground, which is built according
    | to the SI definition of second, then this clock will
    | measure a mean solar day to last 84600 seconds.
    |
    | If we put the _same_ clock in GPS orbit, then this clock will
    | measure a mean solar day to last 84600.000037771 seconds.
    |
    | If we put the _same_ clock in Galileo orbit, then this clock will
    | measure a mean solar day to last 84600.000039946 seconds.
    |
    | If we put the _same_ clock in GLONASS orbit, then this clock will
    | measure a mean solar day to last 84600.000036870 seconds.
    |
    | This isn't theory, it is real, practical measurement made in
    | the real world. It is proved every day by the simple fact
    | that all three GNSS systems work.


    27.8.2035
    | It is true that all atomic clocks in the TAI network
    | have the SI-definition built in.
    | https://gssc.esa.int/navipedia/index.php/Atomic_Time
    | "The TAI second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods
    | of the radiation corresponding to the transition
    | between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of
    | the Cesium 133 atom.
    | "
    | That means that a TAI-second is _exactly_ equal to the SI-definition.
    |
    | But not even atomic clocks are infinitely precise.
    | The precision of the TAI clocks are probably in the order
    | of 1e-15 (or better), which means that during one year
    | the clock may be 30 ns (or less) ahead or behind the correct time.
    | This is not good enough as base for the UTC.
    |
    | So a TAI-second is the average of 450+ atomic clocks, and will
    | be very close to the second defined by SI.


    28.8.2025
    | All clocks consists of an oscillator and a counter.
    |
    | In your wristwatch the oscillator is probably based
    | on a quartz crystal. If the frequency of this
    | quartz crystal oscillator is - say 32.768 kHz,
    | you need a modulo 32768 counter to make it tick
    | once every second.
    |
    | In an atomic clock, the oscillator is the radiation
    | corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine
    | energy levels in an an atom. If the the atom is Cs-133,
    | then the frequency of this oscillator is 9192631770 Hz
    | by definition. So if you have a modulo 9192631770 counter
    | you will get one tick every second.
    |
    | Both these clocks are running according to the SI-definition,
    | advancing one SI second each second, the difference is the precision.
    | The quartz clock can be expected to be a few seconds wrong
    | after a year, while the atomic clock can be expected to be
    | few ns (or less) wrong after a year.
    |
    | Clocks, whether they are quartz clocks or atomic clocks,
    | will always and everywhere run at the same rate.
    | They will tick once each second whether they are at the ground
    | or in a GPS satellite.


    31.8.2025
    | GR predicts that the gravitational deflection of
    | EM-radiation by a massive object, observed from the Earth, is:
    |
    | ++ = (2-+GM/(b-+c-#))-+(1 + cos-a) (1)
    |
    | Where:
    | b = impact parameter,
    | ray's closest approach to centre of massive object
    | -a = angle between light source and centre of massive object
    | as observed from the Earth
    | c = speed of light in vacuum
    | G = Gravitational constant
    | M = mass of massive object
    |
    | The "massive object" may be the Sun, a galaxy,
    | a quasar or a black hole.
    |
    | The "light source" may be a star or a galaxy.
    |
    | Experimental evidence:

    | https://paulba.no/paper/PPN_gamma_Cassini.pdf
    | https://paulba.no/paper/Shapiro_2004.pdf
    | https://paulba.no/paper/Fomalont.pdf
    | https://paulba.no/paper/PPN_gamma_Cassini_2.pdf
    |
    | GR's prediction of gravitational deflection of
    | EM-radiation is so thoroughly experimentally confirmed
    | that it can be considered a fact.


    4.9.2025
    | However, what GR has defined is a geodetic line.
    | https://paulba.no/paper/Foundation_of_GR.pdf
    | See page 28
    | 10. The Equation of the Geodetic Line. The Motion of a Particle
    |
    | Loosely: a geodetic line is the path of a moving particle.
    | or the CG of a body.
    |
    | A geodetic line is a line in spacetime.
    | But this line has a spatial component, and a temporal component.
    | If you throw a clock, the curved path you see is
    | the spatial component. The temporal component is the proper

    The truth is that you still don't know what TAI, GPS-time
    and UTC are. You don't even know what is a coordinate time in
    the non rotating Earth-centred frame of reference.

    To my statement:

    My questions are:
    1. Can you measure "the real time"?

    The measure 'time' is actually an interval and needs to have a
    beginning and an end.

    This is so because time is based on the idea of counting events of
    known frequency.

    And counting starts with 'one, two, three...'.

    The end of this process is the time of the event in question.

    Usually the used clock has some internal means to calculate user
    friendly outputs, which we call 'current time'.

    But mainly it is based on some sort of oscillator with known frequency
    and some sort of 'computer', which generates the output.

    Since this principle requires always a starting point, we negotiated
    'universal' starting points on Earth.

    Of those there are several in use on Earth, mainly the supposed birth
    of Jesus Christ.

    Other events are also possible, while also questionable.

    Jesus for instance was most like born much earlier and was most likely
    not named 'Jesus'.

    As far as this is know, 'Jesus' is based on a Greek name, while the
    actually meant person was (most likely) a Jew who spoke Aramaic, hence
    certainly had no Greek name.

    Similar with other 'starting points', especially the 'big bang',
    because most likely 'big-bangs' are 'relative'.



    Does this mean that time is measurable?


    That depends on what you understand under 'time'.


    Many people think about time as being provided by a 'universal calendar
    with a huge clock'.

    But that wouldn't be measurable, because time does not flow this way.

    Iow: there ain't no such thing as 'absolute time', which you could
    eventually measure.


    You can only use time, if you know a starting point (in time) and the
    local frequency of its units.

    As common 'starting point' we take 'birth of Jesus Christ', even if
    nobody knows for sure, when or whether at all or that person was born.


    As 'rhythm of time' we usually take the rotation of our home planet,
    even if that isn't perfectly stable.

    The truth is that you still don't know what TAI, GPS-time
    and UTC are. You don't even know what is a coordinate time in
    the non rotating Earth-centred frame of reference.

    To my statement:
    "The TAI network, which is the base of UTC and the time
    zones, could not work without atomic clocks with the inbuilt
    SI-definition of second."

    You responded:
    "Sorry, that is not any fact, that's
    a very impudent lie, expected of course from
    a relativistic idiot like yourself. But they
    surely can't work with your ISo idiocy; if

    You claim that SR and GR are nonsense,
    and the units defined by SI are never used,

    All educated physicists know that SR and GR are
    valid theories which never are falsified.

    There is nothing wrong about being ignorant of physics,
    most people are.
    But sane people who know they are ignorant of physics,
    will not claim that physicists are wrong.

    You have demonstrated that you are ignorant of elementary

    So you see, Maciej, when you claim to be smarter than

    the beatingyou get in this forum.

    However, since it may be said to be unethical to pester

    Now you can keep shouting statements like:

    Samely, your "proper time" bullshit is not

    That depends on what you understand under 'time'.


    Many people think about time as being provided by a 'universal calendar

    But that wouldn't be measurable, because time does not flow this way.

    Iow: there ain't no such thing as 'absolute time', which you could eventually measure.

    the 'time' between two events?

    Was that 'time' measurable, or ain't there any such thing

    You can only use time, if you know a starting point (in time) and the

    Was that 'time' measurable, or ain't there any such thing

    The term 'Time' is actually derived from the process of counting
    repeated events, which occur at the same frequenecy.

    This process of counting starts somewhere and ends at the event in question.

    Now 'time per se' requires a starting point and an endpoint, while
    clocks don't show the starting point.

    This start is somehow set, like e.g. by the birth of Christ, and
    subsequently taken for granted and not explicitly mentioned.

    A perfect and perfectly set clock would show the usual result of the
    counting process, but only the endpoint, hence the clock does not
    actually measure time.


    What clocks do, that is mainaining an internal representation of this
    process, by which time is usually measured and count the occurences of
    some sort of events.

    Then this is devided by some constants and presented in user friendly form.

    So: clocks do not measure or show time, because they can only show one
    side of an interval. The other side is subject to arbitrary decisions.

    There are actually numerous observation which everybody could easily
    make, which require a growing planet.

    Main:

    the growth of the planet makes sea-levels fall over very long periods of
    time.

    This means: former sea-bottom is now land and that can be easily seen
    almost everywhere (once you know what to look for).


    'Growing Earth' is also among the most important questions in physics,

    You can only use time, if you know a starting point (in time) and

    As common 'starting point' we take 'birth of Jesus Christ', even if
    nobody knows for sure, when or whether at all or that person was
    born.Could those who measured the 'time' Usain Bolt used
    to run 100 m only use 'time' because they knew that
    the common 'starting point' was the 'birth of Jesus Christ'?

    They're not even using clocks for that, poor trash.
    A "stopwatch" is a similar device, but different
    enough to get a different name.
    When defining "time" the idiot you're worshipping
    introduced "position of hands".

    An inability to spot a metaphor is a sign of mental illness.

    And that only
    has sense when the start point is known.

    What do you mean by "start point" ? If it is the event "the clock marks
    t = 0" this is definitely something Einstein-Poincar|- synchronization
    leads to determine. It does not play any specific role btw. 0 is a clock value as any other :-)

    Time always requires to define a starting point, because time is
    actually an interval, even if most people don't recognize that.

    We have usual clocks like e.g. a wrist watch, which are commonly set to
    the local time by some sort or timing signal.

    E.g. the BBC transmitted the sound of 'Big Ben' at noon.

    Then we have calendars which also get synchronized each year at a huge celebration.

    This is then used as stating point of time for this particular year and location.
