1.01 Is time real or relative? Time is the movement of matter in space and is real. All matter in space is moving in relation to other matter in space. All objects are in relation to the center of the Universe. Therefore, time is both real and relative in all the Universe.

1.02 The terms "real" and "relative" are not anonyms (words opposite in meaning). The explanation is not a "yes" or "no" answer, but requires a definition of "real" and "relative" with many ramifications.



2.01 Real: existing or happening as or in fact; actual, true, etc.; not merely seeming, pretended, imagined, fictitious, nominal, or ostensible.

2.02 (a) authentic; genuine (b) not pretended; sincere.

2.03. n. anything that actually exists, or reality in general.



3.01 The opposite of "real" would be imaginary, pretended, fictitious; not actually existing.



4.01 Relative: adj. 1 related each to the other; dependent upon or referring to each other (to stay in the same relative positions)

4.02 Meaningful only in relationship; not absolute (cold is a relative term)

4.03 relative to: relevant to; concerning; about.

5.01 Definition of "time". There are many variations of time.Time always has a relationship to space. Following explanations show that "Time is space with matter in motion."

5.02 Relationship between Space and Time. Space-Time Continuum.

5.03 Space-Time Continuum (B*) In Albert Einstein's theories of relativity (1905, 1916), space and time are regarded to be a single unit. Most people thought there was no connection between space and time.

5.04 Albert Einstein stated that whenever matter and/or energy are present - space is curved. This reinforces the author's principle that all mass in space is spinning.



6.01 I will now use logic to show that recorded time is actually the movement of matter in space. Imagine you are 75 years old. Imagine you want to be 25 years old. It is obvious: You have to move backward all activities and movements that occurred between age 75 and age 25.

6.02 This includes all movements in your physical body. With its complexity of tissues, cells, molecules, atoms - your physical body is effecting millions of changes per moment. Changing of space is what is termed "aging".

7.01 Since we live in the Solar System and the Milky Way Galaxy, all movements of the Solar System and the Milky Way Galaxy - would also have to move backward 50 years.

7.02 In one of the movies (imaginary), Superman was given instructions by his father - not to move the Earth and Time backward. But he did
