Does gravity change over time? It seems to me that the answer is no. The formula for gravity does not include time. So, I deduce that gravity could exist in one state without motion.

Re: Seeing Time
Don't let me dissuade you from posting. I expect challenges. Editors have told me I am not cogent or I am trivial. Your posts may tell me why they say that.

I said:
"Yes, formula explains the nature of gravity. The amount of gravity is subject to change depending on distribution and movement of mass."
I should have wrote:

Can we start from here to see what is the problem maybe misunderstanding in our conversation?

Re: Seeing Time
Yes gravity can change over time but that does not mean that gravity doesn't exist without time. The formula suggests that gravity doesn't need time to exert its force. But even if gravity is not the reason for time there should be a force(?) that is the reason for time and that force must exist without time. I'm going backwards and thinking "how can there be time without time?" There must be an answer. Gravity is what comes to my mind.
The way it stands now is movement creates (relational) time and time frees up objects to move. That can'rt be right. There needs to be a better explanation. My explanation may not be right but it seems plausible to me.

The Einstein equation of general relativity is time dependent. Gravitation wave is observed recently. That means that the gravity propagates over time.jayjacobus wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2017 8:43 pm The formula suggests that gravity doesn't need time to exert its force.

Re: Seeing Time
The reason that matter can't move without time is because matter can't exist in two places in the same state. But force seems to exist in many states whether there is time or not. In other words force is in state 1, state 3, state 3 and all states expanding outward from mass.bahman wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2017 8:50 pmjayjacobus wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2017 8:43 pm Yes gravity can change over time but that does not mean that gravity doesn't exist without time.
Time allows change in matter but is not necessarily needed in some waves like gravity waves. I don't know this but it seems plausible.
The formula for gravity suggests suggests that gravity doesn't need time to exert its force.
Time is a sequence of states (I suggest). Something needs to open and close states. Otherwise there is only one state and then there would not be time. Time may not be an operation but it must come from an operation. Even if the opening and closing of states has no cause, the change in states is an operation. But how can an operation have no cause?bahman wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2017 8:50 pmI cannot follow you here. Time without time?

Re: Seeing Time
If travel is only a noun, there needs to be a word that means to travel but that is fairly general. Drive, walk, fly are more specific.
Time is not a verb and there is no specific words that mean passing time. Passing time is too general. Change in states is more specific.
Part of the problem in writing about this subject is the lack of accepted terminoology.

Sequence or stream. I don't know. Time is beyond other phenomena. To me it doesn't need a cause it order to operate. Otherwise you end up with the contradiction, time needs time.jayjacobus wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2017 9:25 pm Time is a sequence of states (I suggest). Something needs to open and close states.

Re: Seeing Time
Force and matter are two different concepts. But can you see that matter will exist with only one never ending state\? So won't force exist with one never ending state?bahman wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2017 3:54 pmNo. Forces are made of particles as mater made of particles.jayjacobus wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2017 9:25 pm But force seems to exist in many states whether there is time or not.

The formula for gravity suggests suggests that gravity doesn't need time to exert its force.
where:
F is the force between the masses;
G is the gravitational constant (6.674×10−11 N · (m/kg)2);
m1 is the first mass;
m2 is the second mass;
r is the distance between the centers of the masses.
There already is a contradiction: Time comes from motion and motion requires time. I want to define time without referring to motion.bahman wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2017 3:54 pmSequence or stream.

Yes, force and matter are different things but they are both made of particles. In this regards, you need time to allow change in them.jayjacobus wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2017 4:29 pm Force and matter are two different concepts.

Of course it's relevant but not to this topic. Did Einstein say that gravity effects time? If he did, then he and I are in agreement. If he didn't then he didn't address my topic.
