binary confrontation

I think static time can exist. When the entropy is maximum and cannot increase. There is no change, that means time becomes static. I very much doubt this myself.

It is dificult tot hink of 'maximum entropy' as ever possibly existing, I consider it a hypothesis which will never happen: we need first infinite time to achieve it, and nothing is infinite. Static time is a paradox by itself as a term. Static is the opposite of change (which is motion, which is time). For example static electricity and dynamic electricity. Either something changes and has motion or not.

Time can be static I will tell more. Its relative. Time can't be ahead of us we can't be ahead of time. It's just like an apple kept in a moving train and you are a passenger. For you the apple doesn't have motion. It's to be present in the present. Time is static in the present.

Time is not the collection of all points of time. Time is a line, and if we are realistic (not Euclidean, for his work was destroyed by mathematicians Gauss and Riemann, and then re-destroyed by physicists Einstein, Planck, QMers...) a line is not a collection of points, for a point has no extension in theory, therefore infinite points fit in a line. That is the problem with us stupid humans, we see time as having points, this second, the second before, the second after... But it is a line, continuous, that is what a dimension is, and so points aren't real. The point of present is not real, it can be infinatelly divided. This is the same problem that Zeno came along and from which he developed his paradoxes.

You say infinite points make a line and line is not a collection of points, bit confusing. I have never thought of time as points I see time as the changes that occur around us whatever may it be in seconds because seconds are illusary. I do believe time is continous but What I believe is that every probability is ahead of us that is the effects of any change occuring on our point of reference. That is the light cones which project the effects of the change. And the current position where the change is occuring and the interval b/w the changes where the change is 0 is the static time.
