We start with DEFINITIONS.Nothing: nothing is exactly that, nothing; no time, no distance, no space, no rates of change, no quantum flux, no probability, no negative energy, no anything. Nothing may be a point or infinite, but not a space because that would have jumped right over 1 and 2 dimensional nothings. Nothing can’t create anything. If nothing exists, nothing can’t then not exist. Nothing can’t change with respect to anything.time: (small t), is a one-dimensional parameter used in math and physics that extends to infinity and beyond in both directions. time is continuous. time’s valve is determined by the difference between two time-events. time has no rates of change with respect to any other variable. No rate of change of the rates and time’s rate is 1 with respect to itself at all times. time is not a particle and has no energy. time can’t have started or stopped or it would not be continuous at that point or the next. All other variables have 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. rates of change with respect to time. Points: points are considered to be continuous. Points may be different from each other or may be the same. Points in a 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4-dimensional space are all different. There are no points in a 0-dimensional space. Only two next to any point in a 1-dimensional space. In a cube, (3D) you may add any number of planes or line segments, each full of points (1D, 2D) and the cube is still empty. But we can’t add one more 3-dimensional point. We may pour a finite number of points (3D) into a cube and they all end up at the same point. For a 3D point to fill the cube, they need a line segment. That segment is the distance between any one point and any one reference point. Without a 3-dimensional line segment and reference point with each point, we can’t fill the space. The reference point needs a line segment also. So, points in any space except zero, do not exist without a line segment. BOTH are needed. Space: space is undefined. Space may be finite, infinite, here before time started, start from nothing, curved, able to double, move matter or not, create matter from negative energy, limit speeds, full of universes, even multiple spaces, etc. Space is completely undefined.These are not my definitions for nothing, time, points or space. They are what I assume other people will understand or mean if they or I use these words. You may change them any way you like. I assume the first three “things” do not exist, and that space has NO listed properties from above. Now my definitions.We will use a general rule to help us stay on track as we start. Nature is simple. If we must make a chose between options, we will choose the simplest and continue. Since I assume; nothing, time and points do not exist and space is a question from above, what does exist ? These things have a property in common, that property most be wrong. The property is that they are all continuous. If length and time are not continuous, then all the math and physics one now knows is wrong, some good approximations, but wrong. If nothing does not exist, what can the next “bigger” thing to nothing be ? Assume nothing can accumulate something, Time (cap T) which is not changing or unused Time. A nothing which can accumulate unused Time, and that Time isn’t changing and the amount of accumulation is zero is pretty close to nothing. I have used the word Time here because it is unused Time, if Time were used I would be using the word “energy”. Time (T) is only passing in terms of small t (time). We will call this nothing a Zero degree of freedom universe or Zu. A Zero degree of freedom does not mean there is not a length, a discrete, single length, it means there are not lengths. Zu has a discrete length, which means that “All Points” on the length are the same point. There is no half-length. One can’t have time without length. Neither exist without the other ever. Zu is the place where unused Time accumulates and keeps getting bigger and bigger. In terms of places we already know, think of Zu as the place where borrow energy comes from and returns to and is always here. So Time is discrete. TIME as we will use it in this paper has five modes. 1) No TIME, 2) Unused TIME, 3) Used TIME (Time is changing), 4) Start Time (Starting time does not mean TIME is now changing), 5) Gone TIME (used to start Time).For TIME to accumulate in Zu, Time must start but not change. Since Time and Distance must always occur together, Zu must have a distance, one distance, not distances. Everything is Zu is at the same distance apart. One can not know distance if there is only one distance. To do this each accumulation requires a new dimension in Zu and Time must start but not change. We start with small t, (time) in both directions. At some time in the past there was no Time in Zu. There was a Zu. Now unused Time starts to accumulate. No Time is passing so that this period of Time is zero, but not necessarily from t’s point of view. The amount of Time accumulated may be very different from the amount of time, t that passed. On the far side of this start Time, using t, only Time could have existed. This cycle of unused Time starting and ending with zero unused Time could have repeated many times. But none of the cycles are infinite, because if one can’t get from here back an infinite time, then time from there can’t get here either. If Time is the only thing in our universe, then there is only ONE reason for Time starting, so that Time can stop and if you think, then Time can think. We now have unused Time accumulating in Zu. As unused Time accumulates it reaches an amount which will changes modes to used Time. When all the accumulated Time changes modes the accumulated amount is zero and the used Time is a particle, (Eu, total energy of the universe) in Zu. Eu is the first particle in a Big Bang.The first Big Bang was very small compared to ours. At some time later all the used Time will stop vibrating and all the that stopped Time is now unused Time in Zu again. It is still later, more unused Time is in Zu than at the time of the first Bang, because there is another period of unused Time accumulating. Some of that Used Time was “lost” to make Time Tick or what is called Gone Time, but the total is more and we have a second bigger BB. The physics between the two Bangs is different. The reason is that we started with nothing, added the start of Time so that Time can stop. If you have nothing, add Time, the only reason possible is to stop Time. To do that all used Time must return as unused Time and in Zu. However, that does not stop Time, it only keeps it from changing. To have no Time you need to use up all modes of Time completely. The optimization is to have all amounts of Time used up at the same moment. Thus, we have a universe that keeps going longer and longer as we have BB after BB, each lasting longer. But Time will use itself up. That Time is not conserved, it’s gone. Real photons are a clear example of this. Photons use up energy as their time passes, they age. This is seen in the great redshift that they experience as they travel from the outer edge of the observable universe. Photons age, The outer universe is not expanding. Thus, the particles must use more Time than is accumulating and all this is already in our universe for all of Time to be used up at one moment. Here are three examples to help understand discrete Time and Distance. Distance and Time are not continuous, they are discrete and always are both together. One: Consider a particle moving at a constant velocity relative to you and me. Its velocity is V and is constant. That means the 1st derivative is V and constant and the 2nd derivative is zero and constant. Now with continuous time and distance the velocity changes. The 2nd derivative must change for the 1st derivative, velocity to change. But the 3rd derivative was zero and constant as the 2nd was zero and constant. So. for the 2nd to change the 3rd must change from zero too. But the 3rd was constant and zero, so the 4th must change from zero so that the 3rd may change. On and on to infinity. What caused the highest derivative to change ?Two: Assume time is continuous. Construct a small unit of time, a tenth of one nanosecond, (10**-10 sec.). Now fill the universe with zeros and place them all behind the zero in the exponent. This is a “FLICK”. What must happen in a flick ? Every particle must move “properly”. To do that each particle must be paired with each and all other particles in the universe and each must “fit” all the laws of nature. That is a very little amount of time to do that and it must be done very many times per second. One may say nature does that. Take all the zeros in the exponent and copy them in place of the zero in the base, this is a SMALL FLICK. Now nature must figure out how each pair moves again, and if there are multiple universes, how all those pairs move too. All in much LESS TIME AND MORE TIMES PER SECOND. One may still say nature can do this. Next step, double all the zeros. Inflation double space 100 times, we are only doubling zeros, much easier. Double all the zeros 100 times, this is a “VERY SMALL FLICK”. The problem is much worse and we haven’t even started to double zeros. If one assumes nature does not use time to figure out how particles move then one would know the outcome of the Big Bang before it even started. The end result of this logic is that particles do not see into the future, they can ONLY KNOW NOW.Three: Consider a movie. Here each frame has stopped time. Nothing is in motion, yet the movie seems real. If one uses a highspeed camera, we can study things we would never see without one. Now think of a super highspeed camera. Let each frame capture a photon. The photon is moving Planck’s length, 1.6x10**35 m between each frame. The time between frames is Planck’s time, 5.4x10**44 sec. This is nature, this is how Time ticks and a photon moves. If we could take frames 10 times faster, the photon would stand still for 9 of them and then “jump” to the next frame. This is why C exist and is the value C. C is not a maximum velocity. It is for real photons.Let’s jump to the used Time mode. The used Time. energy is called a Tiedom, Time in a one degree of freedom. A Tiedom is a preon which builds elementary particles. Preons are not particles, these are one dimensional. All elementary particles are built from three tiedoms and only tiedoms, even mass and space. Only particles exist in our universe. Mass is a form of energy. A tiedom is energy. A tiedom is Time changing over a Distance. One never exist without the other. Think of Time at a point P=A and T=1, it then “jumps”, changes to P=B, and T=2 and back again to P=A at T=3, this is a tiedom. It is a time cycle. The length (L) is the distance between A and B. the time passed is the difference between T=1 and T=2 or 2 and 3. The Time did not move between A and B, and there are no values of Time between T=1 and 2 or 2 and 3. There are no values of x within L. The length is one dimensional and Time is a property of the length. Nature is simple, Tiedoms are simple. A second look at a tiedom. If a point does not exist, what is the next “bigger” thing that does exist. This will build the universe and everything in it. That is a preon, the tiedom that builds ALL elementary particles. Start with a point, in math (x,y,z,t) as used in Special Relativity. However, we see that if two references are moving the value of time (t) is determined from the dimension in motion. Which if x , implies the property t for y, z and x are not independent of each other. So the point we will start with is (x,y,z) with times (tx,ty,tz) or three independent times. This is not hard, as later one may assume the three are just one time. Now we need something “bigger”. If the value of x in a point is a single value, then to be bigger we need a x to be a line segment, (Lx) with its own time (Tx). This is a tiedom. A time degree of freedom. The tiedom is the line segment with its own time. Both the line segment and time are discrete. (L,T)x. For now Planck’s length and time. We CAN NOT have one without the other. We saw that points need a line segment. Time and Length are two different properties of the same thing, of a Tiedom, both are ALWAYS together.
