Relativity theory has annexed the reality of Time through the introduction of the abstract concept of ‘spacetime’. Since then, this one sided physical conception has distorted our daily view of Time. Yes, Space is relative, but Time is not a 4th dimension of Space! Time is much more than that. It leaves its mark on Space during the course of history, not the other way around! Time flows and acts in Space as a rhythmically varying polarity – between causality and finality, between chronology and chronotopy. To reassure you, this does not affect the validity of the theory of relativity, but reduces that theory to the limit to where it is valid: the dead physical reality of Space. Its validity ends with entering the living analog reality of Time. This new conception of Time naturally has consequences. The rhythmically living nature and also the social organism are fundamentally unsuitable for listening to the unrelenting ‘tiktak’ beat of the usual standardized clock. And yet that mechanistic view of Time has been anchored in international law since 1967. That must therefore be urgently corrected. This booklet provides a start.
