Change only Frontward, in Time- Notion

Third Edition. January 10th, 2024. This essay is entirely a matter of opinion.

If a person were watching an internet video of people interacting, and paused the video to freeze-frame, then such is the idea of nondynamic — the truly absolutely impossible, to most of our daily and hourly personal experience. Yet the person watching the video continues to anatomically perform dynamically, such as metabolizing, and a great deal more, physically. This is true while the video is paused, being that time accounting numerical and calendar systems proceed, in the viewers/listeners personal environs.

Even using a robust and full featured video reversal software, the idea is that entropy disallows a glass of water from pouring itself back up into the pitcher. It is not overly clean, and neither is it overly messy. Snow does not unmelt and become powder, and then reverse fall up into the sky.

Returning to issues of time and entropy, common convention, or agreed upon and taught (informally or formally) time zones could be divided by 60 (as to minutes), then again by 60 (as to seconds, so using 3,600) to have so very many time zones as to track the sun angle more accurately and have time adjustments very strange. Using the roughly 1,001.234***miles arc-motion as the spatial-hour at the equator, of a country at the equator (with great north to south breadth of zero zone, such as are 0.7mm pencil lines on paper machete balloons, not infinitely thin), a person could perform some calculations. Using some trigonometry for latitude, a person could feasibly arrive at his or her own latitude’s (with north to south breadth recommended as great as a city block) proceeding eastward (seeming)-rate. This could be calculated as to the number, with fraction, of miles or kilometers of planetary surface arc-motion, that proceeds in only one second of universal (not time, but) entropy.

I used a slightly ‘off-rounded’ number for the relative amount of arc-traversal at the equator. When considering time in the near to greater future, also a person could somewhat haphazardly state some more detail than “one month from now” or “next week,” deviating refreshingly from unwitting exact increments of 24.0 hours, from present considerations. (As to precision, our fingers and our writing instruments are precision oriented. A large and dashed outline of an ASCII/Unicode figure on paper, if drawn over meticulously with mechanical pencil, is both greatly precise and greatly accurate. Meticulously airbrushing over the same figure would result in equivalent accuracy but less precision. Shifting tracing paper under the mechanical pencil depiction, would result in great precision, but less accuracy.)
