The concept of absolute time refers to a hypothetical framework in which time flows uniformly and independently of any events or objects in the universe. It implies the existence of a universal and unchanging time reference against which all motions can be measured.
However, according to our current understanding of physics, particularly as described by the theory of relativity, the existence of absolute time is not supported. Instead, the theory of relativity proposes that time is relative and can be influenced by various factors, such as gravity and relative motion.
In the context of building a continuous motion device, the absence of absolute time poses a challenge. If time were absolute, it would provide a consistent and unambiguous reference for measuring the motion of objects. However, since time is relative, different observers can experience time differently depending on their relative motion and gravitational fields.
This relativity of time introduces complexities when attempting to design a continuous motion device. Any device aiming to achieve continuous motion would need to contend with the effects of time dilation, where time can pass differently for different observers or objects in different gravitational environments. These effects can cause discrepancies in measurements and create obstacles to maintaining a precisely continuous motion.
In summary, the absence of absolute time in our current understanding of physics makes it challenging to construct a continuous motion device that relies on such a concept. The principles of relativity, which govern our understanding of time, require careful consideration and compensation for the relativistic effects that can affect the motion of objects.
