Yes, I get the basic aspect of this. What I wonder is what it has to do with the essence of what we call Time. It has always struck me that entropy, requires a definitional sense of what is ‘order’ and the movement away from it. Is time the conscious experience of entropy through the anti-entropic lenses of ‘mind’, as culture and biology has formed them? Or is Time more than entropy witnessed? Time experienced must be akin to memory, almost to the degree of it being synonymous, for without memory there would be no Time at all. Is the proper object of Time, the recollection function itself?
i’m sort of jumping in this thread
but if you look at time as a dimension, then in fact change or motion indeed is a proof for time
for instance the atoms in my body are occupying a certain position in space if I get up and leave and my sister sits down in my chair now her atoms occupy the same space, but in a differnt time.
in this case perception is irrelevent to the concept of time
In Richard Morris book “The big questions”, he lists 4 or 5 arrows of time, one of which is entropy, thermodynamic arrow. Forgot his idea on electromagnetic arrow, but probably it’s also time asymetric.
Are animals aware of time? To Kant, seems only humans can have idea of time.
Having a memory means that you are aware of time at least on the most basic level: That something happened before now. Most animals do have a memory, if not the capability of being aware of the concept of time.
Just guess, concept of “now” is much more complicated than “then”. Reason may play more important role. Concept of future is even more complicated. Need to read more about memory.
