Loop quantum gravity: There is no such thing as Time, which is simply an old concept!


'Change of Relationships' can be used to replace 'Time', instead!

'Space' can be replaced by 'Relationships', multidimensional and complex!

From these relationships one can form a notion of matter being located with respect to the gravitational field, or vice versa. This is what Einstein discovered: that physical entities are located with respect to one another only and not with respect to the spacetime manifold. As Carlo Rovelli puts it: "No more fields on spacetime: just fields on fields".[5] This is the true meaning of the saying "The stage disappears and becomes one of the actors"; space-time as a "container" over which physics takes place has no objective physical meaning and instead the gravitational interaction is represented as just one of the fields forming the world. This is known as the relationalist interpretation of space-time. The realization by Einstein that general relativity should be interpreted this way is the origin of his remark "Beyond my wildest expectations".

Progress has been made in calculating background independent scattering amplitudes this way with the use of spin foams. This is a way to extract physical information from the theory. Claims to have reproduced the correct behaviour for graviton scattering amplitudes and to have recovered classical gravity have been made. "We have calculated Newton's law starting from a world with no space and no time." – Carlo Rovelli.



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_time


In quantum gravity, the problem of time is a conceptual conflict between general relativity and quantum mechanics. Roughly speaking, the problem of time is that there is none in general relativity. This is because in general relativity, the Hamiltonian is an energy constraint that must vanish to allow for general covariance. However, in theories of quantum mechanics, the Hamiltonian generates the time evolution of quantum states. Therefore, we arrive at the conclusion that "nothing moves" ("there is no time") in general relativity. Since "there is no time", the usual interpretation of quantum mechanics measurements at given moments of time breaks down. This problem of time is the broad banner for all interpretational problems of the formalism.

Was able to understand that without getting a headache.. lol

Time and the passage of time is an illusion,
its not one of the seven base quantities of the International systems of quantities,

and if the earth stopped spinning tomorrow, what time would it be?
 
Actually time may be the only thing that is constant. Not the measuring of time. Not the passage of time. Just time itself. Everything else is a construct of time. There has never been a time when there was no time. We're just passing through time, however small or large you choose to measure, time is constant. Time does not move. We do.
