Can We Measure Time or Do We Live in Virtual Time?

József Ferencz

Abstract

If we study the units of time and the structure of clocks, we realize that time cannot be measured by any clock. Watches do not have a single component that is affected by time. Clocks only produce a series of signals and count and show this. Time has no properties or effects that clocks can perceive. Clocks do not sense that time is passing slower or faster. With a watch, you can only create virtual time for us. We live and count in this virtual time. Therefore, time cannot be considered a fourth dimension either. What we count on and what we live in is just an imagined virtual time. Our time calculation is a measure of the number of events that have happened.
