A SUBSTANTIAL INTERPRETATION OF N.A.KOZYREV’S
CONCEPTION OF TIME
A. P. Levich
1.On the existence of the “time flow”
N.A.Kozyrev, an outstanding astronomer and natural scientist, enriched the dynamic picture of the World by introducing a new entity, possessing “active properties” and coinciding with neither matter, nor field, nor space-time in its usual understanding.
This entity is difficult not only for intuitive or logical perception but also for a verbal description since a proper complex of concepts and images for dealing with the new ideas is yet to be developed. The researchers “read” N.A.Kozyrev’s works in different ways, accentuating different aspects and viewing the subject from different angles. Thus naturally non-coinciding interpretations of N.A.Kozyrev’s ideas come into existence. I.A.Yeganova exposes N.A.Kozyrev’s views by introducing a “meta-interaction, embracing the whole material world and mediating the existence of all the manifestations of matter by self-regulation in a unified universal process” (Yeganova 1984, p.2). Therewith it cannot be excluded that “there exists a material carrier (a certain medium), directly “converting” cause into effect” (Yeganova 1984, p.32). S.M.Korotayev (see his chapter in this volume) stresses in N.A.Kozyrev’s time conception the causal nature of the fundamental irreversibility, also recognising that N.A.Kozyrev’s causal mechanics contains a substantial time construction.
In the present review it is suggested to look at N.A.Kozyrev’s ideas basically from the standpoint of their substantial interpretation.
N.A.Kozyrev imagined time as “a mighty flow embracing all the material processes in the universe, and all the processes taking place in these systems are sources feeding that flow” (Kozyrev 1963, p.96). The author writes about the intensity or density of the time flow, the energy it carries, its emission and absorption, the rectilinearity of its propagation, its reflection from obstacles and absorption by matter... By N.A.Kozyrev, “time flows into a system through a cause to an effect” (Kozyrev 1971, p.118). “There is an impression that time is pulled inside by a cause and gets denser at the location of an effect” (Kozyrev 1971, p.129). “... In every process of Nature time can be formed or spent” (Kozyrev 1971, p.129). Therefore it appears to be reasonable to identify N.A.Kozyrev’s flow with some substantial flow whose source is, by Kozyrev, any irreversible, out-of-equilibrium process (he apparently meant the processes accompanied by system energy and thermodynamic entropy changes). The arguments which had convinced N.A.Kozyrev that the conception of time flow was necessary, can be estimated to be speculative; however, most of his views resulted from many years of experiments. The experimental material is discussed in detail in the subsequent sections of the review.

it's a "could be" story ... a "yearning for" story ... a story that we'd like our great-great-great-great-great-and-so-forth-grand-children to live in

ryan was joking with his " chips " lol....
by the way, I sure wish you could still enjoy the high mountains as I mentioned on the earthwatchers here, -at least you have the appreciation for it all...
sometimes seeing footage from the outback of Australia or the Amazon the skies are just like that and the milky way is always visible....stunning....
