if i understand you correctly, unlike the three dimensions we are used to, backwards has foreward, up has down, and right has left, but time (the fourth dimension) goes in only one direction. (as far as we humans know.)

Why do physics consider time to be linear and absolute Please explain?

They do not. Do some reading on the Special Theory of Relativity.


When does time go backwards?

Time does not go backwards in a literal sense according to our current understanding of physics. Time always moves forward in a linear direction.


What is the absolute measurement of time?

Time does not have an absolute measurement. It is a conclusion of Einstein's theory of Relativity that all things are relative, including time. Time passes at a particular speed in a particular frame of reference.


What does the pipeline of prophecy mean?

I assume it means the same as the linear and/or progressive fulfillment of prophecy as time gets closer and nearer to the end of the 'conduit' called the end-time.


What has the author Alfred A Robb written?

Alfred A. Robb has written: 'The absolute relations of time and space' -- subject(s): Accessible book, Relativity (Physics), Space and time, Relativity


How would you interpret the findings of a correlation study that reported a linear correlation coefficient of 1.67?

There is not enough information to say much. To start with, the correlation may not be significant. Furthermore, a linear relationship may not be an appropriate model. If you assume that a linear model is appropriate and if you assume that there is evidence to indicate that the correlation is significant (by this time you might as well assume anything you want!) then you could say that the dependent variable increases by 1.67 for every unit change in the independent variable - within the range of the independent variable.


How would you interpret the findings of a correlation study that reported a linear correlation coefficient of -0.13?

There is not enough information to say much. To start with, the correlation may not be significant. Furthermore, a linear relationship may not be an appropriate model. If you assume that a linear model is appropriate and if you assume that there is evidence to indicate that the correlation is significant (by this time you might as well assume anything you want!) then you could say that the dependent variable decreases by 0.13 units for every unit change in the independent variable - within the range of the independent variable.


What are the key differences between Newtonian physics and relativity?

Newtonian physics and relativity differ in their treatment of motion and gravity. Newtonian physics describes motion and gravity based on absolute space and time, while relativity considers them as relative and interconnected. Additionally, relativity accounts for the effects of high speeds and strong gravitational fields, which are not addressed in Newtonian physics.


What is dimension in physics?

A continuum of a measureable quantity that cannot be resolved from a linear arrangement of any other dimensions. Usual dimensions might be space and time, measured with three orthogonal spatial axes and one for time.


Are space and time are absolute?

No; the Special Theory of Relativity shows that measurements of space and time can vary, depending on the observer (if two observers move at different velocities). The General Theory of Relativity introduces additional differences that may depend on the observer.


What Are Characteristics of time?

Time is continuous and irreversible, proceeding in a linear fashion from past to present to future. It is perceived differently by individuals and influenced by factors such as memory and aging. Time is also a fundamental aspect of physics, manifesting as a fourth dimension in spacetime.


What is absolute time?

Absolute time identifies the actual date of an event.
