It is not ‘daylight-savings” Time.
It is Daylight Saving Time.

Yeah, but Daylight Savings Time is sooooo much easier to say.

Is there such a thing as an objective perspective, Tegemark’s bird’s eye view? Or is that an oxymoron? The problem with defining space as three dimensional is that these serve as coordinates for the center point. While we as individuals effectively function as points in space(and time), they are not the same point. Although much of politics and religion revolves around providing such a communal point, sects based on different points emerge, resulting in large scale conflict. You might say the Arabs and the Israelis use different frames of reference to define the same space (and time).

I’m certainly not playing down how distance regulates energy transfer. If the blast of a super nova from 1000 years ago is set to destroy us, it will do so because the energy blasted in our direction reaches us and is no longer contained in the original star. As I’ve argued, there is only energy, spread across space. Time, like temperature, is a measure of the motion of this activity. This isn’t presentism, because as a measure of motion it would be meaningless to specify that all this activity exists at the same instant in time. We can model time as a tensor, just as we measure temperature as a scalar, but there is no fundamental existance of this dimension, any more then there is a fundamental temperature scale. The only absolute for both would be the complete absence of motion. Time may seem fundamental from our perspective, but so is temperature. Consider the basis of Big Bang theory, redshift and cosmic background radiation, are both measures of temperature, ie. reduced levels of energy from what the scale would otherwise be. We cannot travel back in time to see what happened, we can only measure current energy levels.
