Is time an illusion?

Time and material

Material is only one form of energy. Time is the direction of energy flow between particles and their environment. We can say that time is energy. Or some part of the time is energy. All the material and energy formed in the enclosure is called the Big Bang. 

This incident caused the expansion of the universe. And as the universe expands, space expands as the amount of matter and energy remains the same.  If we think that the universe is like a balloon in a vacuum chamber, we can say that the pressure in the ball decreases. That thing causes the pressure of quantum fields to decrease, and particles turn into wave movement. Or otherwise saying they vaporize. 

In this case, we can say, that time is an illusion. Then we can say that things like the gravitational effect turn the particles young. Or, they can keep particles young. This thing is called time dilation.  A gravitational wave is like a ditch or lower energy area in the Higgs field. The reason why the Higgs field is so hard to detect is simple. We are in the middle of that field. 

Time dilation means that a particle exists for a longer time than it should. In particle acceleration, kinetic energy causes situations. Where extremely heavy particles can exist longer than they should. When a particle travels in a particle accelerator quantum fields pump energy into it. That makes those particles exist longer than in other ways. 

The reason why gravitation destroys material,  as well as keeps material young is this: All particles travel in the wave, that follows the traveling ditch or energy pothole. That wave pumps energy to the particle until the particle's energy level turns higher than the wave. Sometimes the side coming deeper ditch travels across this wave and pulls energy out from it. And if that traveling energy pothole is deep enough it pulls the entire wave in it. And in that case, the particle vaporizes faster than it should. 

When energy travels into particles that energy keeps it young. When energy travels out from a particle, that makes the particle old. So this means that time is an energy direction between a particle and its environment. Particles are material and material are one form of energy. 

The arrow of time

When a particle travels in the universe at a very high speed it creates a shockwave. When that shockwave impacts other particles, it turns energy into them. That means it slows their aging. This thing means that time is also interaction. 

When a particle turns old, it vaporizes. That means it sends wave movement or energy. And then other particles receive that energy. So when an extremely heavy particle releases energy, the other particles receive it. That thing means that this energy impulse keeps other particles younger. The particle receives energy until its energy level turns higher than incoming radiation. 

"An example of a light cone, the three-dimensional surface of all possible light rays arriving at and departing from a point in spacetime. The more you move through space, the less you move through time, and vice versa. Only things contained within your past light-cone can affect you today; only things contained within your future light-cone can be perceived by you in the future. This illustrates flat Minkowski space, rather than the curved space of general relativity." (Big Think, Ask Ethan: Does time exist, or is it an illusion?)

The model that follows general relativity requires that there is a pothole in the hypersurface of the present. Those potholes put energy to move horizontally in hypersurface. So that means there should be waves. But that is a simplified model that tells how the information focuses in spacetime. 

Time and space. 

The light cone: information's shape forms in the future. The information focus is on the hypersurface of the present. The key question of the time is: even if time dilation affects the atom clock, does it affect a mechanic clock? We can slow the aging of radioactive materials by simply pumping energy to them. But if time slows the mechanic clock. That means we can make a time machine. And that means spacetime exists. In this text, the mechanic clock means a pull-out wristwatch, that uses a spring for working 

The light cone or time cone is the model where information forms in the future. Then the information focus is on the present. Or the information focus is on the hypersurface of the present. An interesting thing is that everything that we see happened in the past. So we cannot see the moment when something happened. We see that thing a little bit after they happened. The speed of light is enormous, but photons and information take a little moment to travel from the event to our retina. 

The reason why we see things as we see them is this. We see only things that happened in the past. Time flows from the past to the future. And transports information from the past to the future. 

The spacetime causes discussions. If spacetime or environmental time exists. That makes time travel possible. Spacetime is like a river that flows around us. The high energy level causes a situation, where the particle travels faster in that flow. The particle drops faster into the future. Time travels slower on its shell than on lower energy particles.  And when the energy level turns high enough the particle starts to travel against this flow. That situation is visible only in the black holes. 

The reason why time travels as it travels is this: energy level in the future is lower than energy level in the past. And the reason why it's so difficult to travel in time is that particles must travel against the flow of time. We can compile this situation with the cases where we try to swim against the river flow.
