The cut of time

TL;DR

The paper proposes reinterpreting time as a 'cut' rather than a duration, urging a terminological reassessment and exploring the energy required for an object to exist at a different time without interaction.

Contribution

It introduces a novel interpretation of time as a 'cut' and discusses the energy implications of existing at a different time without interaction.

Findings

Reinterpreted time as a 'cut' rather than a duration

Highlighted the need for terminological clarity in physics

Explored the energy required for an object to shift in time without interaction

Abstract

After a short review on the use of time in various branches of physics, I suggest to change the interpretation of time, from a duration to a cut. A reassessment of terminology is also required to avoid meaning traps. I also address the problem of estimating the energy needed by a physical object to shift in time without any other interaction or motion, that is, only to exist.
