In science, time is a fundamental quantity used to order events, measure durations and quantify movements. It is an essential dimension for physics, intrinsically related to energy, space and motion. Traditionally, time was seen as absolute and universal, that is, the same for all observers, according to the classical mechanics of Isaac Newton.

1.2 Advances in Scientific Understanding

With Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity, this view changed radically. Time came to be understood as relative, depending on the observer’s state of motion and on gravity. Time and space form a continuum called spacetime, in which time is considered the fourth dimension.

Special Relativity: Time can pass differently for observers in relative motion.
General Relativity: Gravity influences the passage of time, causing it to run more slowly near massive objects.

1.3 The Arrow of Time and Entropy

Physics also introduces the idea of the “arrow of time”, which indicates the direction of time from the past to the future, associated with the increase of entropy, or disorder, according to the second law of thermodynamics. This explains why we perceive time as unidirectional in the view of mainstream science.

1.4 Measurement of Time

Time is measured with high precision by atomic clocks, which define the international time standard (International Atomic Time – TAI). Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is adjusted to stay synchronized with the Earth’s mean solar time.

2 Time in the View of the Law of Time (Cosmic science*)

* The word cosmos comes from the ancient Greek kósmos (κόσμος), which originally meant “order”, “organization” and also “beauty” or “harmony.

2.1 Foundations of the Law of Time

The Law of Time, put forward by José Argüelles, presents a revolutionary understanding of time, distinct from the linear and quantitative view prevailing in modern science. According to this perspective, time is:

A universal frequency of synchronization: Represented mathematically by the ratio 13:20, which manifests in natural and cosmic cycles (13:20 frequency).
The fourth dimension: Time is a dimension of the mind, not of matter. It cannot be touched or seen, but is felt internally, and it is responsible for the synchronic order of all phenomena in the universe.

2.2 Essential Characteristics of Time according to the Law of Time

Radiality: Time expands in all directions from the present moment, like the light of a lamp, connecting events and experiences in a nonlinear way.
Cyclicity: Time is made up of repeating cycles, such as the lunar and solar cycles and the seasons of the year. This cyclical view reflects a natural and harmonious order, different from the linearity of conventional time.
Fractality: Time is fractal, that is, the same patterns repeat at different scales and dimensions, connecting the microcosm to the macrocosm.
Synchronicity: Time is the basis of synchronicity, a phenomenon in which seemingly unconnected events happen in a synchronized way, revealing a greater and interconnected order.
Infinity and nonlinearity: The perception of time can expand or contract according to the state of consciousness, making it infinite and not limited to the past-present-future sequence.

2.3 The 13:20 Frequency and the 13 Moon Calendar

13:20 Frequency: It is based on 13 galactic tones and 20 solar seals, forming the matrix of natural time. This structure is present in the Tzolkin (Harmonic Module).
13 Moon Almanac: It proposes 13 months of 28 days, totaling 364 days, plus one “Day Out of Time”, as opposed to the Gregorian calendar (artificial 12:60 frequency), which aligns humanity with the natural frequency of time, promoting greater harmony and synchrony with the natural cycles.

2.4 Time as Synchronic Order

The Law of Time defines time as the synchronic order that connects all events and beings in the universe. Just as gravity maintains the cohesion of space, the synchronic order maintains the cohesion of time, being responsible for the interconnection of everything that exists.

2.5 Fundamental Equation: T(E) = Art

One of the central principles of the Law of Time is the equation:

T(E) = Art / Time (factored by Energy) = Art

Where:

T is Time
E is the energy of any manifested process or form
Art is the harmonic result, the highest expression of universal order

The expression T(E) = Art simply means that time (T) multiplied by energy (E) results in art. In other words, this formula suggests that when we consider the energy used over a certain time (with the natural 13:20 frequency of time), the result is Art (creation or perfect artistic manifestation synchronized with the beauty of the cosmos).

Under the natural frequency of time (13:20), all energy manifests in an artistic, harmonic and creative way (Art), as opposed to the “time is money” paradigm of modern society.

2.6 Implications for Consciousness and Society

Paradigm shift: Adopting the natural frequency of time implies a transformation in perception, in social organization and in the relationship with nature.
Awakening of consciousness: The Law of Time proposes that humanity can access higher levels of consciousness and synchronicity by aligning with natural time, promoting peace, balance and collective creativity.

In summary, the view of the Law of Time offers a holistic and mathematical model of time, grounded in the synchronic order, in the 13:20 frequency and in the inner experience of the mind, proposing a new way of living and perceiving reality.

3 Time – Mainstream Scientific View vs. View of the Law of Time

Aspect	Mainstream Scientific View	View of the Law of Time
Nature of Time	Physical quantity, dimension of spacetime.	Frequency, synchronic order, dimension of the mind.
Direction of Time	Linear, unidirectional (arrow of time).	Cyclical, fractal, radial.
Measurement	Atomic clocks, international standard.	13:20 frequency.
Human Perception	Relative, influenced by motion and gravity.	Synchronic, based on consciousness and mind.
Relationship with the Universe	Space and time form the spacetime continuum.	Time as a frequency that connects everything.

4 Conclusion

Time is a multifaceted concept that can be understood in different ways, depending on the approach.

Modern science defines it as a relative physical dimension, while the Law of Time proposes a holistic view in which time is a frequency that governs synchronicity and universal connection.
