AI prompt:

please rewrite and expand on the idea, excluding pure philosophy and counting with scientific truths only:

the relation of temperature and time.

if entropy is the measure of time (i’m not sure but seems plausible) and the change in temperature changes the rate of entropy, then temperature change also changes the speed at which time flows at any given location. thus time is not flowing at constant speed. close to speed of light time slows down significantly as it is well known.. but even at local level molecules of heated materials speed up quite a lot, which is a paradox because time should slow down, not speed up which is what happens with the physical processes in heated materials. at absolute zero time should stop.. which is not the case, thus my reasoning may have a flow in it — maybe temperature change does not change the flow of time. but perhaps it is not a paradox: if time slows down in heated materials it is slowing for fast moving molecules, while for outside observer the time goes faster compared to the local time in heated up materials. i’ve come to these thoughts again and again over many years and i’ve written about this in my different blogs several times years ago.. and it is still bothering me from time to time.

there’s also a possibility that the slowing of time has been described fundamentally wrong as someone made an error in the thought experiment and the error carried on in physics textbooks with no-one daring to address the error. you see, if you move at high velocity everything flies past you at high speed.. same to the outside observer watching the speeding object, thus the relativity principle is preserved. or if the clocks are ticking at different rate you must admit the existence of ether, about which i argued with physics teachers already when i was perhaps in 5th grade or so. it has never made me sense why in absence of ether one clock should slow down at high velocity between observers while both reference points are equal.. in this case the relativity principle is lost. thus i always argued that existence of ether is proven to me by the very principle of slowing time at high velocity — the reference to the motion of time is not another observer with equal result regardless of from which side to look, but the ether. the error though is in how it’s described — the traveler at high speed should age faster in reference to those not speeding. in this case the fact that in heated up materials, where molecules move at much higher velocity, have also higher rate of entropy, makes sense — the time in the heated materials goes faster compared to the time of observer. the time is relative even in our everyday actions — this is why we refrigerate food for it to last longer, to preserve it, to slow down its rate of aging.

ps. by now i’m a bit smarter and have an understanding that slowing of time is not due to speed but due to gravity, while the speed only plays role during acceleration and deceleration, which creates local gravity, which in turn slows down the time. if one moves with high velocity at constant rate the time is equal for both observers, thus the relativity principle is preserved. but the heating process, accelerating of molecules, still bothers me — it should change the rate of time locally, relative to observers. bouncing molecules decelerate fast while accelerating other molecules, which process creates local gravity, which in turn slows down time.. or speeds up from reference point of an outside observer.

AI response:

The relationship between temperature and time, rooted in scientific principles, involves several nuanced concepts from thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and relativity.

1. **Entropy and the Arrow of Time**:
Entropy, a measure of disorder or the number of microstates available to a system, is often linked to the “arrow of time” — the direction in which time seems to flow from past to future. This association arises mainly because entropy tends to increase in an isolated system, consistent with the Second Law of Thermodynamics. However, scientific analyses clarify that entropy itself is a state function without intrinsic time dependence; it doesn’t flow or measure time, but its increase aligns with the observed directionality of time. Thus, entropy increase characterizes irreversibility in physical processes rather than time itself.

2. **Effect of Temperature on Entropy**:
Raising the temperature of a system typically increases its entropy because molecular motion becomes more vigorous and accessible microstates multiply. This means the system’s internal disorder grows with temperature, but this does not directly equate to the flow rate of time changing locally. The entropy change is a thermodynamic property reflecting energy dispersal, not an indicator of how fast or slow time passes intrinsically at that location.

3. **Temperature, Molecular Motion, and Time Perception**:
At higher temperatures, molecules move faster, so processes like chemical reactions, diffusion, and biological activity generally happen more quickly. From an external observer’s standpoint, these processes “speed up” in hotter materials. This dynamic is due to increased kinetic energy, not a fundamental change in the passage of time.

4. **Time Dilation and Relativity**:
Time dilation, the phenomenon where time slows down relative to an observer, is primarily caused by velocity close to the speed of light or strong gravitational fields, as described by Einstein’s theories of special and general relativity. Heating a material does increase molecular speeds but nowhere near relativistic speeds, so temperature-induced microscopic motions do not cause measurable relativistic time dilation. The well-known slowing of time at velocities near light speed or in strong gravity fields follows precise physical laws and is not directly related to temperature changes.

5. **Local vs. Observer Time**:
The idea that processes in a heated object “speed up” relative to an outside observer does not imply that time itself flows faster there. It reflects that the physical and chemical reactions happen at a faster rate because molecular kinetics are heightened, not that the fabric of time alters. Conversely, relativistic time dilation affects clock rates uniformly on all physical processes in the moving or gravitationally affected frame.

6. **Heating, Molecular Acceleration, and Gravity**:
Accelerating molecules during heating involves continuous collisions and energy transfer but does not create gravitational fields strong enough to cause measurable time dilation. While acceleration can generate gravity-like effects locally, the scale of molecular accelerations is negligible in gravitational terms and thus does not affect time flow noticeably.

7. **Summary of Misconceptions**:
– Entropy is linked to the arrow of time but is not itself a measure or flow of time.
– Temperature raises entropy and molecular speeds, speeding up processes internally but not changing time’s fundamental rate.
– Time dilation is due to relativistic speeds or gravitational fields, not ordinary temperature changes.
– There is no scientific support for the ether hypothesis as a medium for time or motion; relativity’s symmetrical time dilation between inertial observers preserves its fundamental principles.

In essence, **temperature affects the rates of physical and chemical processes by changing molecular kinetic energy and entropy but does not alter the fundamental flow or rate of time itself at a given location**. Time flow remains consistent locally; only under extreme velocities or gravitational conditions does relativistic time dilation occur. The everyday experience that heating accelerates “aging” (as with food spoilage) is a consequence of faster underlying molecular activity, not faster time.
