"The Fundamental Error in Time's Physics"

The article discusses the concept of time in physics, emphasizing that the time of physics is not real time but a mathematical abstraction. It explains that while modern clocks are incredibly precise, they do not reveal the true nature of time and are tools invented to measure aspects of the experiential flow of time. The article warns against mistaking abstract, mathematical time for lived time and emphasizes the importance of understanding the purpose of a specific notion of time without attributing ontological primacy to it.
