Everything is One!

Time, both master and servant,
Making all events possible,
But insisting all events must end.
Giving by the one hand, taking with the other
All opportunities to act comes with a deadline.
~
Before the completion of an event
Its duration cannot be known.
What, you ask, of the ticking of the clock.
Will not each tick be the same as the tock?
And each of a second duration?
~
Well yes
If the tick or tock
Is allowed to be completed
And if the clock’s gears maintain
A constant speed.
~
Each event in the clock’s works
Is much like every event in the clock’s work,
That is to say,
Each tick is like each tock
More or less.
~
Thus durations measured by
The creation and counting of events
The slipping of a cog on a gear,
Unwinding of a spring.
Close, but not close enough
~
Event more near were found
In counting the oscillation
Of a crystal
Even closer in the atomic resonance frequency
Of the Atomic Clock
~
But seconds and multiples thereof
Are one thing, days are another.
Calendars mark these rotation events
The earth spins on its axes
And flies around the sun.
~
A day 86,400 seconds almost
Leap seconds make up the difference.
To coordinate the events of the clock
To the event of the day,
But then the year.
~
A Julian year, 365.25 days,
A leap year every four years
To match the event of a year
To the event of a day
To the event of the clock.
~
Time, the distant between events.
Space, the distance between things.
No things, no space.
No events, no time.
To move through space creates time.
~
To move things apart creates space.
If there is only one thing
There is no space
Divide it in two and move it apart
And space is created.
~
Distance is space, distance is time
Space is in three dimensions:
Height, width, and depth.
Time is in three dimensions:
Past, present, and future.
~
Events requite objects
Objects create space
Movement creates time
Objects are mass
Mass and movement create energy (E=MC sq.)
~
Mass and movement equal events
Events require time
Time is created by events
Space is created by mass
Mass requires space.
~
Everything is one!
And we all live in a Yellow Submarine.
