time an energy....?............?

Can time be the result of some unknown energy just as temperature is the result of heat (energy)?

    Time is record of changes. if there are no changes, there exist no time.IT is just a frame of reference, which has no meaning in absence of mind.

    time may not be a result of some unknown energy because we know energy can neither be created nor be destroyed and only transforms and hence is limited,but on the contrary time is endless ,boundless it does not stop or transform and is never tracable unlike any other form of energy and hence there is a lesser possibility that time may be a result of some energy.by the way i may tell u that temperature is a measure of heat and not a result or form.

    There is enough in Physics (undergraduate) textbooks to establish relations between time and energy (as Cosmo stated) and between temperature & heat(energy); it is redundant to reproduce all such equations. You are advised to read them and if needed with the help of someone who is well-versed (an undergraduate student will do) rather than giving arbitrary interpretations. But if you do, please take pains to go through the whole process to prove it. That is what Einstein did when he noticed something he felt could be improved upon in Newton's formulae.

    The relevant formulae are

    1. E = h ν; ν= (1/time)

    2. Q(Heat energy) = m s T {m=mass, s= specific heat, T=Temperature}

    no i do not think so. temperature varies with the amount of energy. if you rub your hands together they heat up at different rates depending on your rate of rubbing which creates friction Though time is a measurable factor it is still not the result of some unknown energy. See time is infinite, it doesn't stop.

    <QUOTE>Can time be the result of some unknown energy</QUOTE>

    Then what happens when you move that "energy" from one place to another?

    If there's none of such "energy" in a given place, what happens to time?

    How are objects affected by that "energy" you speak of?

    Are you starting to see my point here now?

    Time is NOT energy ,but time CAN do things ! Like u forget bitter things as time passes.This non existing form of energy can produce non material work,Just think on this line and you can make a huge list ,yourself.

    if time would have been energy then it would accelerated the expansion of universe , also universe acting as a closed system due to this, internal energy will uni formally increase.Also increasing randomness of universe , causing collision of matter and further increasing the temperature of the system(universe). and this would be quite different from present observed universe.

    so it can't be.

    No time is that energy moving (basically) we just measure time by how things change , at light speed time stops so particles stop interacting and moving and time stops sorry if this answer was all over the place im watching tv and eating ANSWERED!

    No Time is not an energy

    No, time is not energy.

    Time is a frame of reference of incident/incidents which engages with mass/energy or space.

    Time is the 3rd fundamenta property/reference after mass or energy and space.

    further more, time is independent to space,mass or energy. if no space/mass/energy there is but time exist.(ie, even though there is no brain exist to sense/identify the effects of time, there exists time).

    That's why Albert Einstien postulated that gravity not a force instead of, it is a curve in space/time

    Temperature is NOT a result of heat. It's a unit we use to MEASURE heat.
