Abstract

In today’s physics, opinions on what is time are different. Some physicists deny the existence of time, and others think that time has physical existence. Nevertheless, time was never directly perceived by senses. With our eyes, we perceive the flow of material changes, i.e., motion in space. Our recent proposal is that universal space is time-invariant in the sense there is no physical time which would be the fourth dimension of space. The model of space-time is replaced with the model of time-invariant space, where we perceive the flow of material changes. In past years, neuroscience has discovered that linear psychological time “past-present-future” has origin in neuronal activity of the brain. An observer is experiencing the flow of material changes in the frame of psychological time. With eyes, we do not perceive some physical time in which material changes run. The observer perceives a stream of changes that run in the time-invariant space. This stream of changes the observer experiences in the brain through the psychological liner time. In the universe, there is no linear time past‐present‐future, material changes run in time-invariant space. An observer only perceives changes (not time) and he experiences changes in the frame of psychological time. The observer (the subject) is beyond psychological time, and it does not change during a human lifetime. Observer can be understood as the function of consciousness.

时间，观察者和意识

在今天的物理学中，关于什么是时间的观点是不同的。一些物理学家否认时间的存在，而另一些物理学家则认为时间是物理存在的。然而，时间从来没有被感官直接感知到。我们用眼睛感知物质变化的流动，即空间的运动。我们最近的建议是，宇宙空间是时不变的，也就是说，没有物理时间是空间的第四维。时空模型被时不变空间模型所取代，在这个模型中，我们感知到物质的流动变化。在过去的几年里，神经科学发现线性心理时间“过去-现在-未来”起源于大脑的神经元活动。观察者正在体验心理时间框架内物质变化的流动。用眼睛，我们感知不到物质变化运行的物理时间。观察者感知到在定常空间中运行的一系列变化。观察者通过心理线性时间在大脑中体验到的这种变化流。在宇宙中，没有过去-现在-未来的线性时间，物质变化在不变的空间中运行。观察者只能感知变化(而不是时间)，他在心理时间框架中体验变化。观察者(主体)超越了心理时间，它在人的一生中不会改变。观察者可以被理解为意识的功能。
