Time and Casualty

Time and Casualty are inseparable. They goes hand in hand. One cannot exist without the other. Take the example of a child growing to a man. Man exists live in. because child existed. Man was caused by the child. Child came first then came man. Child was before and man was after. Before and after signifies time. Time and Casualty are not attributes of the universe but they are pseudo attributes created by man to interpret the environment they live in. They are not attributes of environment.
Man is unable to interpret his environment without time and space. And also casualty. Space is more near to environment than time. But without rigid bodies man is unable to comprehend space. Space may be there but you need rigid bodies to measure it. However, with the sense organs of man, he is able to comprehend it. With the help of Reid bodies he even measure it. Time measuring is more complex. It need multiple type of data to measure it. It needs two things. It needs an oscillator and a counter. The oscillator can be earth moving around sun or an vibrating atom. But the counter is complex, it is an observer. Can it be performed other than a human being? A man made machine like a Computer can do it. It is very difficult to answer whether the counting process can exist without a man.
A mountain eroding with whether can be a time measure!
Language is the culprit. The principal of causation is built into language. Most sentences of language depicts causation. The base of our thinking and knowledge is language.
The logical conclusion that can be arrived is, time and causation is part of the language created by us to communicate our knowledge.

Consider these sentences. I kicked the dog. Then it howled.
The howling was caused by the kicking. The kicking was before and howling was after. Time consists of two attributes Before and After is one measuring time is the other. Time and measuring of time are two things. The confusion created by thinking both are same makes us imagine things like time reversal, time machines and what happens few seconds after big bang. Language created time, then used physical phenomena to measure it.

Measuring time needs a cyclic event, a counter and before & after concept. Without before & after the cyclic event is not possible. cyclic event needs at least two specific events that occurs alternatively. Then casualty is needed to link this to the counter - the counter increments at the occurrence of the same event.

Measuring time is a higher concept than the basic concept of before and after. Small children first do not understand the concept of before & after. You need to teach it. This alone is evidence that it is a concept created by humans. This can be contrasted with space, without any teaching, inputs by our sense organs is sufficient for us to understand space. Concept of time is not related to our senses. So is the concept of before & after. Time cannot be comprehended by our senses. We need an external tool like a watch to do it.
