Television offers insight for pretty much every interest and subject, personally, science. A few days ago I came across Stephen Hawking’s, Into The Universe show and tuned into an episode which was on the theory of time and time travel. The main idea was, like all matter, time has microscopic creases and holes as the pores and molecules that make up everything. Time travel was said to be questioned if one of these holes in time could be stretched to allow for a wormhole big enough for someone or a craft to pass through. Many obstacles and faults are obviously present, but what I found to be most faulty in Stephen Hawking’s theory was Time as a matter. Time was studied and examined as a physical matter, as if the air around us IS time. I don’t believe that his theory is based on a correct interpretation of what time is. Time was created by humans to keep track and make sense of our world and be more efficient in it. If we had no measure of time, we would be organizing trips in the future like, “94 moons from this sun in the cold duration”. There would be no minutes, hours, months, years, no accurate historic records or age, which rules out knowing what a birthday is or how it could be celebrated. Anniversaries and holidays couldn’t exist if there was no recurrence of a day as there would be no years. Air being what we physically need to survive, is not a measurement, it is one of the vital components of life on earth. Doesn’t sound like the same thing does it?
