Does time have age ?

Do sub-atomic particles have "charm" or "flavor" ?

Time is movement. Age is distance in time.

So the question seems to be: "Does time have a distance measured in time?"

How can an axis of measurement have a measurable distance in itself? Does the concept of distance above the earth have height? How smart is intelligence?

If so, what would the answer be ?

Excellent idea to ponder.

Time has two "modern scientific" possibilites. Well -- that's a stretch. There are probably ten thousand theories. One of which has "time" as incorporated into the theories of relativity. Another idea is the quantum unit that defines or measures 'quantum' change. It is binary in quantum physics. You can measure it and destroy it, or you can measure "else" and use it as a tool. You can never both "use" it and "measure" it.

Relativity is testable. Quantum time is not yet testable. In relativity, time is a basic law of nature. As is the speed of light and mass. Ironically, one doesn't really need to even mention "mass" or matter. We do though because we are "it" -- mass and matter.

Will "time" finally give out and die of "old age". At first glance it seems to "beg the question", but on further reflection one might state that "should the universe ever wind down" to it's final heat death, time will be uniformly equal throughout "everything/when/where". If it is uniform, it could be said to have died as there is no further "change" possible. Entropy has run it's course. The last hadron has dissappeared and there is naught but heat remaining.

Philosophically, I think it would be fair to state that "time died of old age."

In "quantum" time, every quanta is measured in the unit discribed as an arbitrary interval of existence in which "one basic quanta" travels it's own domain dimension exactly once. So for time to age would indeed beg the question. In quantum or string theory, time is pretty much a described attribute and as such could never be affected by change.

Brain tickler. Very good post, Ivan.

Or there is the Woolburger solution. "Whatever SVW says is wrong." He may be right. But who will know?😠😉😲
