Time = Amendment2
The word 'second'
has few meanings:
In
Mathematics, it is the serial position after 1 and before 3, and the multiplying
of a number by itself.
In Time measurement,
it is 1/60 of a minute, and a moment.
The formula Time=Amendment2
describes a temporary combination between the psychological and objective realities,
that is done every time that there is awareness for it. It is a magic rose, a
point of imaginary fulcrum. Therefore it is easy to relate its qualities to
different fields: Scientific, emotional, and artistic and more.
Objective time and subjective time – Illustration
From a scientific
view point, according to the doctrine of the general relativity, any massive
body in movement "drags" the space with it. Distortion like this is likely
also near revolving bodies, which "convolute" the expanding space in
their proximity. The more the body is massive, the more the phenomenon is
significant.
The left drawing, by the painter Escher, illustrates the convoluting
resistance to the action of Gravity.
The right drawing illustrates the Gravity that
pumps everything inward
Close to Planet
Earth, the field of gravitation is strong enough to the point of torquing slightly
the space.
This supposed
phenomenon will stand to the tryout with a satellite experiment.
This
situation of dynamic orientation reminds the demand for amendment of the inner
to the outer in human life. The inner space is transformed together with the
outer space, combining the numerous interpretations of the word 'second'.
The feeling
of experiencing Time=Amendment2 is similar to the inner
feeling that two people sense when they calibrate their clocks in relation to
each other.
Calibrating watches
Meir Shalev,
in his book 'As in a few days', brings many wonderful paragraphs about the
impressions of the relationship between the objective and subjective times:
Page 97:
"My mother showed me the shade of the eucalyptus tree, That
in its size, direction and coolness said 'nine in the morning', the red leaves
of the pomegranate that said 'middle March', the tooth that tottered my mouth
and said 'six years old', and the little creases in the angles her eyes, that
flickered and said 'forty'.
''You
see", she said, "like that you are amid the time. If they will
provide you a clock you will be only near it".
A wonderful emotional
depiction of the deep experience of alliance between the objective and subjective
times is of a boy who observes the watchmaker in his work:
"The craftsman,
a Hungarian watchmaker from the old generation, started my instructions when I
was in the age of four. He promised me the right to sit beside him when he
repaired wristwatches and clocks. My first happy lesson was to sit quietly,
without disturbing him from his delicate repairs. To my surprise, I succeeded
almost without a try, because when the craftsman worked something marvelous took
place. Tremendous Love and tranquility filled the space of the workshop, and I sank
in the absolute silence that surrounded him. When I concentrated in his work, the
exterior silence that I sensed was reflected immediately in the inner hush. All
the feelings of misfortune, the pressures and the wretchedness,
dissolved."

in his work
Visually, this experience is like a 'slow motion' examination of
a phenomenon, for example a water drop.

create an experience of subjective time
The wide
prevalence of the 'second' and inner-outer reality idea appears also in the following
excellent cartoon:
