People have exuberant climatic ecstasy over Einstein's definition of
TIME as "that which a clock measures". I have given definition of TIME
T as that Cosmic mass m which is spent to overpower the tendency of
maintaining the status quo of the present instance of the Cosmos.
And I have given expressed the Equivalence of TIME AND MASS BY
T = A m^2
Now, let people have the same exuberant climactic ecstasy over the
following definition of Distance in term of Mass
Distance between points A and B is that energy (and hence Mass)
which requires to move the ray of light from A to B.
Or if you want a much more cynical exuberance:
Distance between points A and B is the mass (of standardized)
ruler which can be put between the points A and B.
In other words, the following Einsteinian definition:
Distance is the mass of the ruler which measures it
Now let the people have the exuberant climactic ecstasy!

The problem, Al, is that this definition is not
commensurate with the accepted definition in some
ways. Well, all ways. I'll tell you what time is
in a moment. Er, sorry about that.

But if points A and B are gravitationally
equipotential, no energy is expended getting
the light from one to the other. Space is
pretty frictionless.

But a skinnier ruler will probably have less
mass. I like a fat ruler, which has enough mass
to suck the photons into itself.

Now I will tell you what time is. It is the
state of non-reversible operations that occur in
the universe. Information is the key here. When
any interaction in the universe occurs, it can be
seen that some results are non-reversible because
the previous state information is lost.
When information is lost, the reaction cannot be
made to proceed accurately in reverse. This loss of
information is called "entropy". When the reaction
cannot be reversed or you can't backtrack the system
to a previous state from a known state, the past is
irretrievably lost.
It's pretty simple really. To make the Abian unit
a useful consideration, you need to prove that data
is equivalent to mass. One the other hand, let's not
even go there! Sorry I mentioned it...
Cheers!

Charles,
Um, this idea of information being mentioned as part of a definition of Time
is very interesting to me. Your explanation of entropy also in association
with Time leads me to ask, where can I go to learn more? I've been trying
to form some hypothesis in my head over the years based on a lifetime
working with computers. Um, I'm not a physicist or mathematician. But I
love to read Heinz Pagels.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

So one Abian is a unit of time-per-mass? "Second-grams-squared"? What
exactly would you have us apply such a sily unit to, anyway?
