(其實只是和我在從事能源研究時一種聽過新物理學的想法相似: 時間並不存在，只存在不可逆的物理/化學過程。)

愛因斯坦的相對論其中一依據是時間是其他三維在理論上是完全獨立的，我這篇就是要質疑到底時間和其他三維(長闊高)有幾獨立?而時間和其他三維的獨立性又和三維本身的獨立性有什麼不同?
長闊高三維獨立的一層意思在於，在邏緝上﹐一維的變化不一定代表其他二維的變化，任何在字宙的物體，都可以只變高而不變窄和變低，或者可以只變窄而不變長和變低，如此類推。三維之間的變化沒有必然的因果關係，就算是改變一維而在實際上令物件的其他二維產生變化，這也不是因為被改變的維度和其他受影響的維度有什麼本質的關係﹐而是因為獨立於三維以外的重力場在起作用。這一點已被大量的實驗來證明。另外，在數學上，這三維的一維亦不以其他維度為函數作變化，獨獨是時間這一維在現實上就不能脫離其他三維而存在，如果不是地球繞太陽作有周期性的變化，我們如何會有時間這一慨念呢?
我以為人和生物之所以感覺到有時間，並不代表真是有時間這種東西獨立於我們而存在，而是生物通常都是依賴部份不可逆而有周期性的生化過程來生存，令到系統內的熵有增無減直至死亡。時間於生命有實際意義，但對於生命以外的東西，不一定進行不可逆而有周期性的生化過程，熵有增無減直至毀滅，時間又有沒有意義呢?
Einstein’s Theory hang on the notion that Time is independent from the 3 other dimensions such as x-coordinate, y-coordinate and z-coordinate. How independent is time from them? Are it independent from the other three in the same way them are independent from each other?
Length, width and Height are independent in the sense that any object make a change in one of them doesn’t necessary imply the change of other two. Thus any object in the universe can change only one out of the three dimension without changing the other two. There is no built-in causality chain in the definition of these 3 dimension themselves to connect the change of one dimension to change of another dimension. If there is any relationship between the change of them, that relationship is formed due to something not inherent in the dimensions themselves: Gravity. It is inherently and theoretically possible a change in one dimension doesn’t imply a change in another dimension. And this theoretical possibility has been verified many times in the universe(for instance, by light traveling in straight line which only 2 out of 3 dimensions varies). They are independent of each other Mathematically in the sense that one dimension doesn’t contain the other two functionally, and description of one doesn’t give us any information of the other two. It is a complete and adequate description by each of them without referring to other. Physically they are independent from each other, in the sense that in the existing model of universe, there are no theoretical necessity that change in one dimension must cause change in any other dimension.
Time, however, is defined by periodic change of position of planets. We recognize a year by the time it take for Earth to return to its angular position from the sun(which could be verified by observing the pattern of season in weather). If there is no observable regularity in the system, then time can never be defined. Thus the definition of time is inherently depends on other three dimension. To be more accurate, time is calculated from the change of other 3 dimensions, time is a function of other three. Thus time is Mathematically and Physically impossible to be separate from the other three. Time make no sense without an implicit reference to the other three, and it is causally related to the other three dimensions. Unless we could discover phenomena that time could be referred without any implicit reference to the other three, I am strongly against the usage of time as an independent dimension in discussion of Physics. Since it is an logical and practical impossibility in existing framework of Physics and Mathematics, therefore any theory implies time is vary independently of the other 3 dimension is invalid.(i.e. Theory of Relativity)
Why does human held the illusion that time as an independent dimension to be an inherent truth? It is because of our experience that biological process is irreversible(probably built-in in the blueprint of DNA), and has regularity that we can measure. That irreversibility come from physical measure of entropy resulted from complexity inherent in any biological entity. In a sense, Life is necessary for Time to exists.
