ON THE SUBJECT OF TIME... By Joseph Raglione.      (Updated.)

 Time in and of itself does not exist except as changing energy. The Big Bang theory claims the Universe started from nothing with a tremendous explosion. We can only ask what fueled the explosion in the first place and how did that fuel arrive into existence?
                                             
 The concept of eternal energy terrifies the human mind and we humans have created Gods in order to sooth our fear of change from the conscious state of mind to the inanimate unconscious state of existence within eternal energy. The idea that a God created all things leads to the question of where did God come from?... Answer: From our human imagination.

 When humans began to very slowly discover repetitive constants within nature, our species created a tool called 'Science' to classify and keep track of what we discovered.  With Science, our Homo Sapient species jumped far ahead of all the other Species surviving on Earth and science today uses a great amount of experimenting and a great amount of measuring to understand what exists within the Universe. Science, however, is extremely complicated and often loses against quick and simple religious indoctrination which creates Billions of followers.

  Happily for us we now have lightning-fast computers to help us speed up the process of discovery but even so, one of the oldest inventions on Earth, the Clock, continues to be one of our most important tools. For example: when we measure the speed of changing energy we use a precise invention called an Atomic Clock to measure and compare the change. In other words we link our culturally created Time-Clock concepts we call: seconds, minutes, days and years to changing energy in order to measure energy speeds.  All energy (including Life energy) will change form within the universe and the speed of those changes we measure with our Time-Clocks. 

 Why do we use Clocks to discover how quickly or slowly energy changes around us in comparison to our interior energy? For centuries the fear of death has motivated humans to incrementally measure the existence of almost everything in the Universe. Not everybody but on average humans want to know how long we have to live before we die and we do everything in our power to keep ourselves healthy and happy. Some scientists we have labelled Doctors closely monitor the energy changes within us in order to keep us alive as long as possible. Doctors time the human heart beat by feeling a patient's pulse. They measure the heat generated by the patients body in comparison to the average heat of 98.6 and if they find a problem, they send body fluids to research scientists who are dedicated to understanding the chemical compositions and interactions which are required for the existence of biological life on Earth.

 Clocks themselves come in various sizes and shapes. Like all human inventions they are transformed from one form to another and we humans have discovered ways to combine Atoms and Molecules into new and different forms not found in nature. The problem with creating new energy forms is that we have created a social economy based almost totally on the production of new products. Are we quickly and dangerously replacing and destroying the slower and more delicate life sustaining balance-of-Nature? The answer is unfortunately yes! It is a fact that industrial growth is out pacing natural Green growth and creating dangerous pollution levels but their is also a hope that new technology created with non-polluting industry can help us re-balance nature and maintain a better social economy.

(A not so funny joke is that sales people and advertising marketers continue to label many products as new and better and faster energy saving devices.)  

 Nature is much slower at creating and preserving life on Earth while artificial processes do often pollute and destroy nature at a very fast pace! For example, by creating Billions of new plastic products we are not saving energy but shaping Oil into forms that are dangerous to life on Earth!

 We are literally and too quickly changing the natural conditions needed to sustain life on Earth! The world wide production and use of tools and products is creating an artificial economic culture sadly not based on Nature! We are now using time-clocks and fast computers to run our lives! The operating word being run! We run to gain money and power in order to find success and happiness when in reality the reverse is true. A positive and happy attitude will help create success or it may not but you will live a happy life simply by maintaining a positive attitude and surprise, the happiest people on Earth today have learned to love and enjoy nature. 

 Humans need to live at Nature's pace and not work industrially to destroy this wonderful product of evolutionary change! We need to give Nature a boost and not a kick in the rear end! Even our best science can only guess at how many Billions of years it took to create life on Earth!

  All energy within our Universe constantly changes. The conundrum is this: logic forces us to believe energy is eternal within the Universe and cannot be created or destroyed. Our Time-Clock invention, however, creates the illusion there is a beginning and an end to the eternal energy of the universe and because it is such an old invention, we have forgotten it's true purpose. To measure the speed of changing energy as a comparison to our own life energy. The absolute reality is that Time is only a name for changing energy and we use Clocks to incrementally measure the changes. All the energy that ever was still is constantly changing and continues to exist and we call the speed of changing energy...Time. We use our Clocks to measure energy speed. Energy will change form but will never disappear. We measure changing energy speeds and since Energy is eternal so is Time. In fact the words 'changing energy' should replace the word Time.

 Energy can certainly be manipulated and changed and diverted into different forms and unhappily for life on Earth, we humans have and are creating too many energy changes! For one example we are manufacturing millions of "new" cars only to be stuck in traffic for hours while pumping carbon monoxide into the atmosphere!   
Energy does not care if it is animate or inanimate and we humans can by destructive neglect, change ourselves back to inanimate energy in the blink of an eye!

 There is some positive changes happening, however, which may keep our species alive on this little Blue planet. Electric cars are now on the market at reasonable prices and people are finally awakening to the reality of global warming and the fact we need more protection for Nature's life sustaining systems. We need more recycling of Plastic and we need to clean our rivers and streams and of course, our atmosphere. To do this we have to stop producing products that do not last longer than a few months and we have to grow Trees. Trees have to be planted everywhere on Earth. Trees clean the air we breath and they produce Oxygen. We also need to slow our Human population growth with family planning methods and we need millions more home vegetable gardens and non polluting energy systems. 

  Nature is life sustaining but slow and fragile. Humans modify nature every single day and we are in a losing battle. Our human indoctrination systems are: political, religious and economic and while millions falsely believe they will go to an after life if they obey their political or religious leaders, millions more believe that by working for corporate leaders to create new products, the money accumulated will give them social acceptance and freedom from stress. Both groups often feverishly damage Nature's life sustaining energy systems!

If we wish to sustain life on our small Blue Planet Earth, we have to make some fast non-polluting Energy changes.
