Well, it turns out there is something we've found that looks a lot like something 'unphysical' but which is a connection between physical things - entanglement.
I would agree that, because time is a type of number, it is not a physical entity. And it would then appear to be true that time can serve to 'entangle' say moment A and moment B by units of Planck time. The smallest quantized unit of time is Planck time. So, between moment A and moment B would be a finite number of Planck time measurements, let us say five has been measured,(tP1,tP2,tP3,tP4,tP5) no more and no less. In the same way, between the numbers 2 and 8 are a finite number of whole numbers (3,4,5,6,7--no more, no less) that serve to 'entangle' the 2 and the 8. In this way I can see how time can be said to entangle. So, your question then seems to be, can we build something out of the five units of Planck time in the above example between moments A and B--(tP1,tP2,tP3,tP4,tP5)--would this be correct understanding of what you are asking ?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
