Because time and space are not only the basis of human survival and development, but also the object of human development and utilization. Therefore, "time and space are the eternal objects of human concern, and they are also unavoidable philosophical categories in people's thinking." Any science, from the date of its establishment, is doomed to escape the entanglement of time and space.
The Significance of Time and Space in the Book of Changes
Time and space, from the word structure, is the abbreviation of time and space. Scientists at all times and all over the world believe that time, space and matter are the foundation of all things in the universe. Everything in the universe moves and changes in a certain time and space, and everything has different effects because of the migration of time and space. There is no space and time for matter to move, and there is no matter that does not move.
In other words, space and time are interrelated and cannot be separated from each other. For example, at this time (that is, time) here (that is, space), the effect information of a certain kind of disease will have different effects at that time (that is, another time) there (that is, another space), and may even become invalid information. Time refers to the design of time, including two aspects:
One refers to the time interval, that is, the time period experienced by the movement of an object, that is, a certain period of time with a starting point and an ending point; The second refers to time, which refers to a moment of mass movement, that is, a certain time point, which is generally based on the rotation of the earth.
In a word, time is a problem? This objective form is a continuous system composed of past, present and future, and it is a continuous expression of material movement and change.
Space is the objective form of material existence. It is represented by length, width and stiffness. Physicists believe that space, as a kind of vastness, extends in an infinitesimal direction and cannot reach the minimum boundary. Of course, at the present level of physical development, people can't imagine a quark that doesn't occupy space. Therefore, to ask what is in space is to find the minimum boundary of space and the "matter" that occupies this minimum space. But the minimum boundary, the minimum part and the minimum space are just a kind of thinking setting, which is set for understanding the limited observable space. Therefore, it is impossible to find the smallest space occupant.
Western sages believe that space is full of water, fire, "infinity", existence, atoms, numbers, Ethella, lists and so on. These "residents" are what we call "matter" today. China, which has a history of thousands of years of civilization, has a different title from the West for the possessor of space "material". In the world outlook of ancient sages in China, words such as "Qi", "vitality", "Yi", "Tao" and "Taiji" have the closest meanings to the western world. China's sages thought: Qi, "its greatness is nothing, its smallness is nothing". Therefore, "Qi" and "vitality" are both the smallest substances and the largest substances. From this perspective, China people's material concept "Qi" has a deeper and richer meaning than the West.
As we all know, the utensils that can hold things are called containers. The capacity of a container and the volume of an object are the possession of a specific limited space by matter. Therefore, objects and containers are the same as the space they occupy and contain, and they are the form and content of the same space. Since space is used to hold substances, the "space" mentioned here is a container full of substances. In China's general concept of space, space is used to hold matter, and matter is the smallest occupant of space. Therefore, when we refer to the term "the whole universe", we mean this limited "container".
Physical space and philosophical space are essentially the same space. Because you can't say that you occupy the physical space and I occupy the philosophical space, matter is the space possessor as understood by physics and philosophy. Man is made of matter, so he himself is the possessor of space. "The space occupied by people is the same space and the only space."
"Space is the existing form of matter". If matter does not occupy space, then it is difficult to understand the objectivity and extensiveness of space. It is often said that the world is both material and spiritual. The former only shows that the world is made of matter, while the latter shows that the possessor of matter-space needs to move and change in the process of time.
To sum up, space refers to the universality of material existence; Time refers to the continuity and sequence of material movement process. Therefore, while strengthening the reality of the possessor of space-"matter", there is no reason to ignore the possessor of time-"rhythm". They are interdependent, interrelated and inseparable.
Einstein believed that time and space are only two forms of intuition, and there can be no existence without consciousness, just like our concepts of color, shape and size. "There is no objective reality in space except the order or arrangement of the objective things we find; Time has no independent existence, except that we use the order of events. "
Modern science believes that time is the continuity of material existence, the driving force of spiral rise, and reflects the movement and change of things; Space is the universal existence of matter, the static reason of coordinate positioning, and reflects the arrangement and combination of matter. In other words, time and space are two basic forms of material existence. Time and space are opposite and holographic. Time is a flowing material space, and space is a solidified material time. The reality and emptiness, vertical and horizontal, dynamic and static are intertwined to form a network, forming a dominant information world. Matter is a collection of knots on this network. Two scholars, Wang Cunzhen and Yan Chunyou, also said: "There is a corresponding relationship between the level of things in the material structure and the level of things in the evolution process. Or: the distribution law of things in space is a reflection of their distribution law in time. "
The development of everything has a process, which is produced in a certain time and space environment. Because the different temporal and spatial characteristics of different temporal and spatial levels must be related to the hierarchical structure of matter. In addition, without the symmetry of matter, the symmetry of space and time cannot exist independently. Therefore, space-time is the fundamental attribute of matter, which has been further proved by modern natural science.
Time and space are the basis of material existence, philosophy and natural science. Of course, space-time medicine is no exception.
Space-time exists objectively, without moving matter, without moving matter, and without moving matter. Space and time are interrelated.
Time is the measure of motion, and spatial displacement is the most basic form of material motion. Time and space are the necessary conditions for the existence of movement. Conservation of time, space and motion.
The traditional western theory of time and space thinks that time and space are separated and they are not related to each other. However, the great physicist Einstein (A. Einstein, 1879? 1955) challenges this. After years of research, he founded and published the famous "Special Theory of Relativity" in 1905, revealing the unity of time and space, matter and motion. First of all, he proved the fact that the time interval is relative, the moving clock slows down, and the length of an object or the distance between two points in space will shorten along the moving direction with different reference frames. In other words, the change of time is relative, and everything changes with the difference of reference system. For example, the order of two things in different reference frames is different, and the time of one thing in different reference frames is different. The speed of light is constant, which is the limit speed of tangent matter movement. So he came to the conclusion that time and space are not absolutely independent things. Time and space are integrated with each other and will change with different reference objects. Because Einstein put forward this new theory of time and space in the special theory of relativity, which broke the traditional theory of time and space.
The development of modern physics, especially the establishment of the theory of relativity, strongly proves that space and time are inextricably linked with moving matter.
However, idealism denies the objective part of time and space, while metaphysical materialism holds that space and time are divorced from material movement. So it is generally believed that both views are unscientific.
So, what is the meaning of time and space? In China's encyclopedia of giants? The second volume of physics has clearly pointed out: "Time and space, that is, time and space. In physics, it is the order of things. Space is used to describe the shape of objects; Time is used to describe the order between events. The physical properties of space and time are mainly expressed through their various connections with the motion of objects. " (4) Yes, it is worth noting that the meanings of time and space are different in different disciplines or different occasions, and not all of them are exactly the same.
In the era of low level of science and technology, in order to explore and analyze the influence mechanism of space-time elements in the space-time environment that is hard to be observed by naked eyes, and show it to people, Tessa in ancient China invented the method of diagnosis and treatment of dry branches-"dry branch medicine".
The so-called time in China ancient medicine is light based on celestial bodies, with astronomical phenomena, seasons and day and night as the main contents; The so-called space, based on the five directions (east, south, west, north and middle), takes geography, topography and climate as the main contents and becomes the spirit of everything. The combination of time and space is nothing more than a cosmic model dominated by astronomical phenomena and topography. !
