[HydrogenBond]

A much easier explanation of time is that it is a potential quanta; time potential. Things move to the future because time potential is decreasing over measured time.

The easiest way to quantize time potential is to look at energy. For EM energy, energy is wavelength and frequency multiplied by a constant. The time potential is contained in the frequency aspect of energy, with higher frequency containing more time potential. For example, if one inputted a quanta of gamma into a system, it would take longer to reach steady state than a quanta of IR. More time potential inputted takes more measured time to dissipate.

The conservation of energy implies that energy is conserved. This implies that all forms of energy contain time potential. Time potential can spread out into different energy forms but the total will be conserved. For example, if a nuclei absorbed the gamma quanta into mass, the atom will reach thermal steady state quicker. This is because the time potential is now stored in the nucleus and the time potential can be released at a later time. Hydrogen fusion does this, releasing time potential that has been stored in the hydrogen atoms since 100K years after the BB. This time potential is converted back to heat that now takes much more time to linger and dissipate.

If one looks at time as only a reference variable the physics of time gets very complicated and hairly. It time is looked at as a potential quanta that we measure with clocks, it is extremely simple.

If one looks at time dilation, time will slow down, relative to a stationary reference. For example, 1 sec in the time dilated reference may take one hour in the stationary reference. Using special relativity, what cause this is velocity. Velocity means kinetic energy. This, in turn, means the time dilated reference contains more time potential. Basically, it accumulated time potential and can only trickle out and be used up at the slower pace of stationary reference. Everything appear to take more time because it has more time (potential).

Garvity can also cause time dilation due to gravitational potential energy being stored, ie., accumulates time potential.
