New video: Einstein’s Definition of Time The Light Clocks of Relativity
Einstein claimed in his famous 1905 paper that a light beam's passage in an inertial reference frame is what actually defines time.
In his theory of Relativity, Einstein defined Time as the passage of light, between two given endpoints.
This concept of time formed the idea of a light clock.
Defining time as the passage of light between certain endpoints in space would be a terrible idea if it turned out, that some other physical process forms the continuum of time.
But this was a logical choice, because to the best of our knowledge light is the agent which is responsible for the transmission of causal information.
Therefore every process over a period of time that occurs in our universe is at the most fundamental level a type of light clock within it own reference frame.
Einstein never when any deeper in explaining the nature or physics of time.
These videos put forward the idea that we have a probabilistic uncertain future continuously unfolding with absorption and emission of light photon energy.
This would totally fit in with Einstein’s concept of time.
In such a theory the atoms of the periodic table are standing waves in time.
Light and electrons are waves over a period of time with particle characteristics as the future comes into existence with each photon electron interaction or coupling.
Whenever we have the absorption and emission of light our everyday world changes slightly and we comprehend and measure this change as time.
This concept is supported by the fact that light photon energy ∆E=hf is continuously exchanging into the kinetic energy Eₖ=½mv² of matter, in the form of electrons
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion it is the energy of what is actually happening as the future unfolds.

In theoretical physics we have the Planck constant h representing a minimum quantity in the fabric of space and time.
The Planck constant is very often divided by 2π
This happens so often in quantum mechanics that they came up with a new mathematical symbol called the reduced Planck constant ħ or h-bar to get rid of the 2π.
This reduced the size of equations, but I believe it also removes something fundamental about the process that the mathematics is representing.
In this theory the 2π represents circular geometry that is formed by spherical symmetry.
The spherical geometry can be based on Huygens’ Principle of 1670, that says:
“Every point on a wave front has the potential for a new spherical 4πr² wave”
Each point on the curvature of the wave front forms the potential for a new light photon ∆E=hf of energy, a new oscillation or vibration as the future unfolds.
We have to square the radius r² of the sphere 4πr² because the process in unfolding on the spherical surface. Therefore we have the speed of light squared c² we have the charge of the electron squared e² and the probability wave function is squared Ψ².
The interior of the sphere 4πr² is naturally three-dimensional forming our three dimensional space of everyday life.
The two dimensional spherical surface forms a manifold for the movement of positive and negative charge.
Our ever changing world is based on this manifold and it could be called the fourth dimension of time.
Within this process the Planck constant h/2π represents a minimum quantity in space and time. This is formed by the centre of the sphere being a constant, with the radius r² squared being a constant relative to the spherical surface. The 2π represents circular geometry that is formed by the spherical symmetry with a constant πr² relationship between the radius of the circle and its area.
If we say the time continuum is formed by a universal process of energy exchange formed by light interacting with the atoms of the periodic table. In such a process ‘the moment of now’ is formed when light is absorbed and emitted this is relative to the object or life form. For you and me ‘the moment of now’ is continuously unfolding in the form of electrical activity (light) relative to the structure of the brain (atoms). Therefore we are always in the centre of our own reference frame seeing the process unfold being able to look back in time in all directions at the beauty of the stars. It is this personalization of the brain being in ‘the moment of now’ in the centre of its own frame of reference that gives us the concept of ‘mind’ with each one of us having our own unique personal view of the Universe.
