In the phenomenological tradition, especially byHusserl, time is seen as a structure of consciousness: past (retention), present (prsenz), and future (protensi) are not separate entities, but a single, living inner tension. Heidegger going further: time is not just something that humans understand---humansistime. Human existence, orDasein, always directed to the future (projection), entangled by the past (facticity), and acting in the present (present).
But this phenomenological time has no place in the equations of physics. It cannot be parameterized, cannot be recorded by atomic clocks, and is not universally consistent. What appears as duration in experience, it could be moment in physics, and vice versa.
Unbridgeable Tension?
This tension between physical time and phenomenological time is one of the greatest ontological gaps in contemporary science and philosophy. Science requires measurable time, but humans live in measurable time.felt. Attempts to bridge the two often end in reductionism: objectifying consciousness, or conversely, subjectifying the universe.
But what if there is a point of resonance between the two?
What if time is not just "flowing" or "lived", but resonate in consciousness as a channel between the absolute and relative dimensions?
The theory we propose in this paper is an attempt to reconcile these tensions, not by dissolving them into one camp, but by introducing the third ontological level: Absolute Time as a source of temporal resonance, which bridges measurable physical time and experiential phenomenological time.
1.c. Purpose and Contribution of the Paper
This paper aims to offer anew conceptual and ontological framework about time---a theory that treats time not only as a physical or phenomenological entity, but also as a resonant field between measurable and lived reality. We call this framework theAbsolute Time Resonance Theory.
Rather than treating time as a mere parameter in a physics equation or as an unmeasurable subjective experience, this theory proposes that deepest ontological structure---a form absolute time---which is the source of all forms of relative time, whether within the framework of physics, consciousness, or adaptive life systems.
Main Objectives of the Paper:
1. Formulate five basic postulates about time in a new ontological framework that integrates science, philosophy, and consciousness.
