Abstract
Through a careful and persistent separation of physical reality from what our senses perceive, the author demonstrates that time is a function of our conscious minds and not a part of physical reality. He proposes that the time should be discarded as a fundamental dimension, and replaced with a fundamental quantity called “urge” which is a measure of degree and direction of the instantaneous motion of a particle or, in another sense, its desire to be somewhere else during the present instant. The question of the arrow of time is shown to be partly a mathematical near-certainty and partly a perception of the mind, rather than a part of physical reality.
